Multicollinearity Test

The multicollinearity test is used to determine whether or not there are deviations from the classic assumption of multicollinearity, namely the existence of a linear relationship or independent variables in the regression model. The multicollinearity test can be seen from the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) value < 10 and the tolerance value > 0.10, so it can be said that multicollinearity does not occur.

Based on table 6, it can be seen that Interpersonal Communication (X1) has a VIF value of 1.281 < 10 and a tolerance value of 0.780 > 0.10, indicating that multicollinearity does not occur. Motivation (X2) has a VIF value of 1.281 <10 and a tolerance value of 0.780> 0.10 indicating that there is no multicollinearity.

 

 

 

Autocorrelation Test

The autocorrelation test is useful for finding out whether in a linear regression model there is a strong positive or negative relationship between two research variables.

   Based on table 7, the Durbin Watson (DW) value is 2.255. The du value can be seen in the Watson durbin table, n= 100, k= 2, then the du value is 1.7128.

If it is included in the criteria if DW is located between du and 4 - du, it means that if 2.255 is located between 1.7128 and 2.287 (4- 1.7128) then there is no autocorrelation.

 

Heteroscedasticity Test


The heteroscedasticity test is carried out to determine whether in a regression model there is an inequality in the variance of the residuals of other observations. A good regression should not have heteroscedasticity.

Figure 1. Heteroscedasticity test

 

Based on the picture above, it shows that the data is spread above and below the number 0 on the Y axis and there is no clear pattern, so heteroscedasticity does not occur.

 

Multiple Linear Regression and Multiple Correlation Analysis

Multiple Linear Regression

Multiple linear regression analysis is a form of analysis that discusses the extent of the influence of the independent variable (X) on the dependent variable (Y). where the independent variables are Interpersonal Communication (X1), Motivation (X2) and the dependent variable is employee performance (Y)

In calculating the regression coefficient in this study, SPSS version 17.0 was used. Multiple linear regression analysis is used to find out whether a variable can predict or predict other variables. The calculation results are as follows:

a. Dependent Variable: jmly

 

Based on table 8 regarding the regression coefficients, it can be seen that the linear regression equation is as follows:

Y = 1.567 + 0.249 X2+ 0.713 X3+ e

Information:

Y = Employee Performance

X1 = Interpersonal Communication

X2 = Motation

e= error

The results obtained based on the description above can be explained as follows:

a)   A constant of 1.567 means that if the Interpersonal Communication (X1), Motivation (X2) value is 0, then the employee performance (Y) value is 1.567.

b)  The Interpersonal Communication regression coefficient (X1) is 0.249, meaning that if the value of other independent variables remains constant and Interpersonal Communication increases by 1 unit, employee performance (Y) will increase by 0.249. The coefficient has a positive value, meaning that there is a positive influence between Interpersonal Communication on Employee Performance, the higher the Interpersonal Communication, the greater the increase in Employee Performance.

c)   The Motivation regression coefficient (X2) is 0.713, meaning that if the value of other independent variables remains constant and Motivation increases by 1 unit, Employee Performance (Y) will increase by 0.713. The coefficient is positive, meaning that there is a positive influence between Motivation on Employee Performance, the higher the Motivation, the greater the increase in Employee Performance.

 

Multiple Correlation Analysis Between Interpersonal Communication, Motivation and Employee Performance

Correlation coefficient analysis is to determine the strength or weakness of the relationship between the variables Interpersonal Communication (X1), Motivation (X2) and Employee Performance (Y), so correlation calculations are used.
