THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP AS MODERATION: THE RELATIONSHIP OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT TO LECTURER PERFORMANCE

Abstract

This research aims to determine the moderating role of leadership on the influence of knowledge management on the performance of Fajar University lecturers. The approach used in this research is a quantitative approach. The population in this study were lecturers at the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences at Fajar University with a sample size of 46 people. The technique used in collecting data is a survey method in the form of a questionnaire which will then be processed in the SPSS application. The results of the research show that the t count for knowledge management is 3.968 with a significance of 0.000 with a regression coefficient of 0.526, this shows that knowledge management has a positive and significant influence on the performance of Fajar University lecturers, and the results of the research show that the XZ variable (the interaction between the knowledge management variables with leadership), obtained a calculated t value of 1.489 at a significance of 0.144 (not moderated), meaning that the leadership variable was unable to strengthen the influence of knowledge management on the performance of Fajar University lecturers. This research shows that the findings regarding existing leadership positions have not strengthened the relationship between knowledge management and lecturer performance. The strongest aspect shows that the knowledge possessed by lecturers is still developed independently and in practice the organization has not been involved much so it is unable to encourage this relationship to occur.
