1. Introduction
In today's era of globalization, competition and competition are getting tighter and wider every
day. Because of this, human resources are one of the important aspects for an organization or
company, humans always play an active and dominant role in every organization because humans are
the planners, actors and determinants of the realization of organizational goals. Because competition
is getting tougher day by day, employees are required to be able to perform well. Performance is a
real behavior that is displayed by everyone as work performance produced by employees in
accordance with their roles. The performance of employees in a company is very important in
increasing the company's production.
Employees who have high performance in their work have better productivity in carrying out
their work. Employees are the company's most important asset because of their role as the subject of
implementing the company's policies and operational activities. Owned resources. Human resource
management faces the challenge of preparing and bringing in suitable and better employees into the
organization and meeting the needs and expectations of employees.
According to Dama and Ogi in Indrajita et.al, (2021: 3) states that performance is a description
of the level of achievement of the implementation of an activity or policy in realizing the goals,
objectives, vision and mission of the organization as outlined through the strategic planning of an
organization. Every company always expects its employees to have achievements, because having
employees who excel will make an optimal contribution to the company. In addition, by having
employees who excel in the company can improve the company's performance. If the individuals in
the company, namely human resources, run effectively, then the company will also continue to run
effectively. In other words, the continuity of a company is determined by the performance of its
employees.
According to Yuwalliatin and Sitty in Marjaya and Pasaribu (2019: 131) stated that
performance is measured by instruments developed in studies that are incorporated in general
performance measures then translated into fundamental behavioral research. Improving employee
performance will bring progress for the company to be able to survive in an unstable competitive
business environment. Therefore efforts to improve employee performance are the most serious
management challenge because success in achieving goals and the survival of the company depends
on the quality of the performance of the human resources in it.
Work creativity is of course very much needed by the company because every employee who
has creativity will always produce new things that can increase profits from the company, so every
employee is required to have creativity to develop the implementation of their respective work
assignments. Dama and Ogi in Indrajita et.al, (2021: 3) state that creativity or creative thinking is the
ability to see various possible solutions to a problem, a form of thinking that has received little
attention until now. Through creative and innovative employees, companies can create bright ideas
about the best products and services.
Independence is the ability of individuals to behave according to their wishes. Independence is
something that is important and must be owned by every human being so that humans do not always
depend on others. A person is said to be independent if he is able to solve his own problems without
depending on others. An independent person is able to manage his own life in his daily life. Believe
and have the courage to do something and be responsible for what you do. In addition, independence
as one of the components forming the basic abilities that children must have in order to be able to
adjust to their social environment .
Based on this background and seeing some of the above data descriptions, further research is
needed to respond to these problems. So the authors are interested in conducting research with the
title “The Influence of Creativity, Independence and Leadership on Employee Performance at
the PNM Mekaar Cooperative in Mojokerto Regency” .

Conceptual Framework
Hypothesis
H1 : It is suspected that creativity, independence and leadership partially affect the performance
of employees at the PNM Mekaar Cooperative in Mojokerto Regency
H2 : It is suspected that creativity, independence and leadership simultaneously influence the
performance of employees at the PNM Mekaar Cooperative in Mojokerto Regency.
H3 : It is suspected that leadership has a dominant influence on employee performance at the
PNM Mekaar Cooperative in Mojokerto Regency.
Research Methods
The type of research used in this study is to use a quantitative method of survey method.
Sugiyono (2018: 71) states that survey research is research conducted on large and small populations,
but the data studied is data from samples taken from the population, to find relative events,
distribution, and relationships between sociological variables nor psychological. the author takes
100% of the number of employees in the Mekaar PNM Cooperative, namely as many as 31
employees. Thus the use of the entire population without having to draw a research sample as a unit of
observation is referred to as a saturated or census sampling technique.
According to Sugiyono (2018: 61) states that the source of data is data obtained related to
religious socio-cultural research itself both by questionnaire and observation methods. According to
Unaradjan (2019: 87) states that the data collection method is a technique or method used by
researchers to obtain data that will be analyzed or processed to produce a conclusion.

The characteristics of the respondents used in this study include age, gender and last education . 17
respondents aged 20-29 years, 11 respondents aged 30-39 years. 24 respondents who had male gender
and 7 respondents who had female gender. 8 respondents who had a Bachelor's degree and 23
respondents who had a high school education.
Validity test
1. Creativity Variable (X1)
Based on Table 4.10 above, it can be seen that all questions for the Leadership variable (X3) have
a valid status, because the significance value is less than 0.05.
4. Employee Performance Variables at the PNM Mekaar Cooperative in Mojokerto Regency (Y)

Reliability Test
According to Duli (2019: 89) states that the reliability test is a test used to determine the extent to
which the measurement results are consistent, if measurements are taken twice or more for the
same symptoms with the same measuring instrument. The results of the data reliability test can be
seen in the following table:
Based on Table
4.12 above, it is known that the Cronbach's alpha calculation results are greater than 0.6. so it was
concluded that the variable instrument items were declared reliable .
Normality test
Based on the results of the normality test using the normal Probability Plots picture presented in
Figure 4.2 shows that the data spreads around the diagonal line and follows the direction of the
diagonal line, it can be concluded that the regression model meets the normality assumption.
Heteroscedasticity Test
According to Ghozali (2019: 53) states that the purpose of the heteroscedasticity test is to see
whether there is an unequal variance from the residuals of one observation to another. The results
of the heteroscedasticity test are presented in the following figure:
Based on the figure above, it is known that there is no clear pattern and the points spread above or
below zero on the Y axis, so it is concluded that there is no heteroscedasticity.
Multicollinearity Test
According to Ghozali (2019: 54) states that the multicollinearity test aims to test whether the
regression model found a correlation between independent (independent) variables. The results of
the data multicollinearity test are presented in the following table:
8
The results of the calculation of the Tolerance value there are no independent variables that have a
Tolerance value of less than 0.10 with a Tolerance value of each independent variable which
includes the variable Creativity (X1) of 0.815, Independence (X2) of 0.680 and Leadership (X3)
of 0.753. Meanwhile the results of calculating the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) values also
show the same thing, namely there is no Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) value from the
independent variable that has a Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) value of more than 10. With the
Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) value of the variable Creativity (X1) is 1,226, Independence (X2)
is 1,470 and Leadership (X3) is 1,328.
The constant (α) is -1,400, stating that if the variables Creativity (X1), Independence (X2) and
Leadership (X3) have a fixed value or equal to zero (0), the regression coefficient (β) Creativity
(X1) is +0.267 indicating that each additional aspect of Creativity (X1) is 1 unit assuming the
other independent variables are constant, the regression coefficient (β) Independence (X2) is
+0.415 stating that each additional aspect of Independence (X2) is 1 unit assuming the other
independent variables are constant, the regression coefficient (β) Leadership (X3) of +0.694 states
that each additional aspect of Leadership (X3) is 1 unit assuming the other independent variables
are constant.
Hypothesis testing
T test
If the significant value is <0.05 (α : 5%), then creativity, independence and leadership partially
affect employee performance. If the significant value is > 0.05 (α : 5%), then creativity,
independence and leadership partially have no effect on employee performance at the PNM Mekaar
Cooperative in Mojokerto Regency. The variable partial test results are shown in the following
table:
F test
If the significant value is < 0.05 (α : 5%), then creativity, independence and leadership
simultaneously affect employee performance. If the significant value is > 0.05 (α : 5%), then
9
creativity, independence and leadership simultaneously do not affect employee performance at the
PNM Mekaar Cooperative in Mojokerto Regency. The results of this F test calculation can be seen
in the following table:
Based on the results of the regression analysis in Table 4.19 above, a significance value of 0.000 is
obtained which is less than 0.05. It is concluded that creativity, independence and leadership
simultaneously affect employee performance at the PNM Mekaar Cooperative in Mojokerto
Regency.
Coefficient of Determination
The classification of the correlation coefficient without regard to direction is as follows:
Every time there is an additional independent variable, R2 will definitely increase regardless of
whether the variable has a significant effect on the dependent variable. The results of the
determination test (R2) can be seen from the value of the coefficient of determination in the
following table:
Based on the Adjusted R Square value above, it can also be concluded that there is a remaining
effect of 16% influenced by other variables outside of this study such as compensation,
supervision, employee capabilities, organizational culture, work environment, work motivation,
training, employee discipline and others.
Based on Table 4.19 above, the beta value ( ) for the Creativity variable (X1) is 0.267 with a
tcount of 2.709, Independence (X2) of 0.415 with a tcount of 3.258 and Leadership (X3) of 0.694
with a tcount of 6.871. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Leadership variable
(X3) is an independent variable that has a dominant influence on the Employee Performance
variable at the PNM Mekaar Cooperative in Mojokerto Regency (Y). This is based on the beta
value ( ) and the largest tcount value of the other independent variables.
