What the paper says

Orientation: Personnel performance plays a crucial role in the sustainability of any organisation, including military institutions. In this context, leadership and discipline are key elements determining organisational effectiveness. However, research specifically examining the influence of leadership, organisational culture and job placement on military personnel performance is still relatively rare. Research purpose: This study aims to examine the extent to which transformational leadership, organisational culture and job placement influence work discipline and the performance of army personnel in the Korem 101 Antasari environment. Motivation for the study: This study is motivated by the lack of empirical evidence regarding the influence of leadership, organisational culture and job placement on the performance of military personnel in the context of military organisations. Research approach/design and method: A quantitative approach was implemented through an online survey of 180 Indonesian Army personnel. Data analysis focused on examining the direct influence of transformational leadership, organisational culture and job placement on discipline and performance. Main findings: The research findings show positive and significant influence of transformational leadership, organisational culture and job placement on work discipline, but not on performance. Practical/managerial implications: These findings indicate that strengthening leadership practices, maintaining a conducive organisational culture and optimising job placement have the potential to improve discipline among military personnel, which, in turn, can contribute to improved performance. Contribution/value-add: This study extends the literature on military human resource management with empirical evidence from the Indonesian context, demonstrating the critical role of leadership and organisational aspects in shaping personnel discipline and performance.
