The role of the
workforce as one of the resources in the business world is getting clearer,
various concepts have been born to encourage the motivation of the workforce,
which is expected to have good performance. Performance or achievement are the
results obtained from jobs or activities over a period of time. The purpose of
this article is to analyze the effect of Knowledge Based Human Resources (KB)
on employee performance (PE), the effect of organizational commitment (OC) on
PE, the effect of KB on Emotional Intelligence (EI), OC on EI, EI mediates the
relationship between OC and PE, and EI mediate the relationship between KB and
PE in modern retail in the city of Tangerang. Cross-sectional quantitative
research. The results obtained were analyzed using the SMART-PLS method, the
results showed that both OC and EI had a significant positive effect on PE, while
KB had a positive effect on PE, while OC and KB significantly affected EI. For
the mediating impact of EI, it turns out that EI strengthens the relationship
between OC and PE, while EI weakens the relationship between KB and PE. From
this study it was found that EI is the most dominant factor influencing PE
compared to the other two factors, this shows the need to increase EI for
Modern Retail employees by building a system that includes EI indicators in the
process of hiring, learning and development. The second factor that also has a
significant influence on PE is OC, this shows that the Modern Retail organization
must strengthen the work culture and organizational values so
that it can increase the strong desire for employees to continue to work on behalf
of the organization and remain as members of the organization.

Introduction
The concept
of a modern retail business first emerged in the 19th century, providing
one-stop shopping services with modern and comfortable store facilities, is one
of the solutions offered by modern retail entrepreneurs, in order to meet
changes in consumer behavior (Koot 2011). In
Indonesia, the concept of modern retail began to develop in the 1980s, through
several supermarkets that were located on the main and strategic lines, and
then in the 2000s, in order to get closer to consumers, smaller shops were
developed, known as mini markets and located in densely populated settlements (Martinus 2011). According to the Central Statistics Agency
(BPS) in 2021, retail contributed 12.83 percent to total GDP, and that APRINDO
(Association of Indonesian Retail Companies) has a strategic role in advancing
modern retail and maintaining the efficiency of traditional retail
distribution. In addition, APRINDO also has an important role cooperate with
the government in maintaining the security of distribution of goods and price
stability, especially those that are vulnerable to price fluctuations.
Various
modern retailers that exist, compete with each other for consumers by opening
many branches. Even with the same location, segment, and product. For this
reason, every retail company tries to provide a different quality of service
from one another, in order to build trust in the eyes of customers.
One of the
factors that play a role in the success of a retail business are employees. Without
them, retail stores cannot run, and therefore they are the most valuable asset
of a retail business. The retail industry is one sector where employees
interact directly with customers, this means that customer experience and
satisfaction are strongly influenced by your employees (Huang 2017).
�In the context of management, HR is a source
of knowledge, innovation, and renewal (Seidman 2014). Contemporary organizations
place greater emphasis on performance management systems as the primary means
of encouraging higher levels of employee performance (Gruman
2011).
OC defined by
(Al Zefeiti 2017) is a degree that shows how much
employees absorb the values and goals of the organization, so
that through this understanding they can help employees fulfill their job
responsibilities. Strong belief in the values and goals of the
organization, willingness to put in a lot of effort for the benefit of the
organization and a strong desire to remain a member of the organization can
encourage employee motivation to do better.
(Yang et al,
2017) asserted that EI for individuals is the ability to monitor their own
emotions and those of others, which after going through the identification
stage this information is used to guide their thoughts and behavior, including
three stages: paying attention to the needs of others, determining intentions
to helping others, and linking those intentions and behaviors. Previous
research conducted by (Nguyen at al 2019) confirmed that EI is a factor that
has an impact on student achievement, while (Singaravelloo
2021) in his study of public servants found that EI has a positive and
significant impact on EP. However, research related to the effect of KB on EP,
OC on EP, EI on EP and EI as comprehensive determinants is rarely found,
especially in the context of modern retail. This study analizes
the factors that influence EI and evaluate their impact on PE, specifically:
(1) analyze the direct effect of KB and OC on PE., (3) to determine the impact
of EI on PE, and (4) to evaluate the mediating effect of EI on KB and OC on PE.
This
study shows strong and positive support from emotional intelligence on employee
performance at modern retail in the city of Tangerang. The ability of employees
to face various challenges at work, persistence in achieving goals, respect for
colleagues and the ability to resolve various conflicts that arise have a very
positive impact on their work results. Other dimensions of emotional
intelligence greatly affect employee performance, including the ability to
accept oneself, to understand the emotions and feelings of others, the ability
to build good relationships with others, the ability to manage and express
emotions, control emotions, the ability to adapt to situations. new, and
respect the opinions of others, and always think positively in life (Lisye Nurzaman 2022). Employees
who work in modern retail in their daily life are always required to provide
good service to consumers, not infrequently in relation to the demands of this
job, employees experience role conflicts. Role conflict can cause tension in
both individuals and organizations (Rizzo 1970). Thus, emotional intelligence
to resolve conflicts, becomes one of the indicators that play a role in
improving employee performance at modern retail.
Furthermore,
this study examines the effect of organizational commitment on employee
performance at modern retail in the city of Tangerang, and the results state
that employees who are proactive in solving every problem that exist at work,
work with enthusiasm and maintain and optimally utilize all the facilities
provided by the company.� significantly
supports the performance improvement of employees working in this modern retail
sector. The results are in line with previous research which states that
organizational commitment which includes Affective commitment, Continuance
commitment and Normative commitment, significantly affects the performance of
workers in the oil sector (Muhammad Riaz Khan 2010), the textile sector
(Shahida Parveen 2019), at the Ministry of Transportation and informatics (Violita 2020).
This
study shows that knowledge-based human resource factors have a positive
influence on employee performance, therefore it provides scientific proof that
to improve employee performance the company must make clear standard operating
procedures, so that it can be a guide for employees to carry out their duties,
in accordance with the direction given by the company through the SOP. In
addition, the application of technology that provides opportunities for
employees to access knowledge and facilitate communication and coordination
also has an impact on employee performance.
This
study also confirms that employee emotional intelligence is a factor that
indirectly mediates the relationship between knowledge-based human resources on
employee performance. This means that knowledge-based human resource indicators
can improve employee performance which is supported by emotional intelligence.
The significance of the indirect effect of knowledge-based human resources on
employee performance through emotional intelligence is (T-stat = 3.053), while
the direct effect is (T-stat = 1.986), meaning that the indirect effect of
knowledge-based human resources on employee performance through intelligence
emotional is greater than the direct effect of KB on EP. This shows that
individuals who work in accordance with existing directives and SOPs will
increase their persistence which has an impact on their performance. This is in
line with (Arief Tukiman Hendrawijaya et all 2018).
Conclusion
The result of the first test is that
organizational commitment has a positive and significant effect on employee
performance. It can be concluded that employees who work with enthusiasm and
have a high commitment to complete work well will have better work performance.
The results of the second test show that emotional intelligence has a positive
and significant effect on employee performance, employees with the ability to
face challenges at work, have high persistence in achieving goals, respect
co-workers and are able to overcome and resolve various conflicts at work, will
have better work performance. good. The results of the third test show that
knowledge-based human resources have a positive and significant impact on
employee performance at modern retail in the city of Tangerang, this proves
that employees who always try to explore knowledge and practice good
communication, and work by following applicable procedures, will have better
performance.
The results of the fifth and seventh
tests, namely emotional intelligence as a mediation for the relationship
between organizational commitment and knowledge-based human resources on
employee performance, emotional intelligence has a positive and significant
effect as a mediator between organizational commitment and employee
performance. Likewise, emotional intelligence has a positive and significant
effect as a mediator between knowledge-based human resources and employee
performance. This shows that the hypothesis regarding the mediating variable is
acceptable.
Some things that become limitations
in this study are; first, respondents only come from one sector, namely modern
retail, for further research it can be combined between modern and traditional
retail sectors; second, the possibility of errors caused by the respondent's
lack of understanding of the questions in the questionnaire given; third, there
is an interaction between the researcher and the facts under study so that the
analysis provided is subjective and based on the researcher's point of view.
The results of this study have proven
that the variables of organizational commitment, knowledge-based human resources
and emotional intelligence can improve employee performance at modern retail in
the city of Tangerang. So that through the results of this study, it is hoped
that it can be a recommendation for business actors in the modern retail
sector, in order to continue to improve employee performance, through
activities that can build employee emotional intelligence, increase employee
involvement which aims to build commitment and loyalty as well as
implementation and development of the system. work procedures to make it easier
and clarify the implementation of the daily tasks of employees.
