Transformational Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Teamwork, Trust, Employee PerformanceAbstract
This study examines the effects of transformational leadership, emotional intelligence, and teamwork on employee performance, with trust as a mediating variable at PT Adi Reka Mandiri, an Indonesian manufacturing company. A quantitative research approach was employed, involving 140 employees selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The findings reveal that transformational leadership, emotional intelligence, and teamwork do not have significant direct effects on employee performance. Transformational leadership also does not significantly influence trust. However, emotional intelligence and teamwork have positive and significant effects on trust, while trust positively and significantly influences employee performance. Furthermore, trust mediates the relationships of emotional intelligence and teamwork with employee performance, whereas its mediating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and employee performance is not supported. These findings highlight the importance of emotional intelligence, teamwork, and trust in supporting employee performance in manufacturing organizations. The study contributes to human resource management by emphasizing trust as an important mechanism linking employees’ emotional capabilities and collaborative work practices to performance outcomes.
