Influence of Competence and Compensation on Job Satisfaction: A Case Study of Ship Crew PT Amas Iscindo Utama

Abstract

Every shipping company needs competent and qualified crew members to carry out activities to help the company achieve its goals and job satisfaction. In addition to supporting crew competence, another factor that is also important for job satisfaction is the compensation received by the crew. But in reality, many crew members do not meet the standards and qualifications given by the company, so they do not provide optimal performance. As a result, the opportunity to get a promotion is very low. The solution to this problem is the holding of job training in the field of Human Resources Management (HRM) to form creative and innovative ship crews so that in the future, they can provide optimal performance. The problem with compensation is the low compensation received by the crew, which makes the crew feel unsatisfied. The right way to overcome this is to equate compensation in the form of salary/wages with ITF (International Transport Workers Federation) standards. The purpose of this study is to determine how much influence the competence and compensation on the work satisfaction of PT Amas Iscindo Utama crews with technical data analysis using multiple regression methods. The study found that competence and compensation have a positive and significant effect on crew job satisfaction, both partially and simultaneously.
