KEY WORDS

Psychological empowerment, motivation, employee, performance.

The development of a country is also determined by the quality of the health of its people as human resources that contribute to the progress of the nation (Irfan and Ijaz, 2011). The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia in Article 28 H stipulates that health is the basic right of life for every individual and all citizens are entitled to health services. The public health service system is an organization with a complex network and has individuals working together for public health interests (Revere et al., 2011). All aspects of the health service sector are asked to measure their performance and to demonstrate efficiency and effectiveness in order to provide services to their clients (Weir et al., 2009).

Health center are functional organizational units in the field of basic health services that function as (1) health development centers, (2) fostering community participation, (3) comprehensive and integrated health services, which are in line with the concept that health center are responsible for working areas established (Nugroho, 2004). The Health center is a public health service facility that is responsible for the health of the community in its working area (Wibowo, 2009). Basically, quality health services must also be supported by human resources who have quality and performance that supports health care systems that have competitive advantages (Holmes et al., 2006). In order for public health care services in the health center to materialize, nursing services need to be improved. The quality indicators of community nursing services are services performed professionally. Health care professionalism essentially provides services to the community according to standards (Nugroho, 2004).

The service at the hospital, nurses are one of the health professions that play an important role in caring for and serving people who are directly ill. In his daily duties, a nurse is often faced with an attempt to save one's life or life. Regarding the scope of work nurses are always faced with monotonous and routine things. In carrying out their roles and

functions nurses are required to have high expertise, knowledge and concentration. In addition, a nurse is faced with the demands of professional idealism and often faces various kinds of problems both from patients and colleagues. It can all cause feelings of stress on the nurse, so that it is easy to experience a decrease in motivation in work (Makatiho, 2013).

One form of activity to provide motivation is empowerment efforts. Empowerment means efforts to encourage subordinates to motivate themselves (Ratnawati, 2004). Empowerment of employees is one strategy to realize employees who excel in their performance. Empowerment is one of the development of employees through employee involvement, namely by giving sufficient responsibility to complete tasks and decision making (Kadarisman, 2012). Employees who have felt empowered will have a higher level of work motivation (Rahmasari, 2011). To be able to empower employees in an organization, management must be able to provide access to support the achievement of employee empowerment (Regan, 2011). With empowerment, employees will be able to accommodate customer requests and achieve the highest standards of service quality. Employees are permitted to use their personal initiatives and their judgment in carrying out their duties (Chow et al., 2006).

In addition to empowerment, management of human resources in organizations is that companies must be able to unite perceptions or perspectives of employees and organizational leaders in order to achieve organizational goals, among others through the formation of good mental work with high dedication and loyalty to their work, providing work motivation, guidance, direction and good coordination in working by a leader to subordinates (Brahmasari and Suprayetno, 2008). Motivation has long been the task of management in order to improve employee performance. Motivation will affect the increase in performance, and decrease the level of turnover and absenteeism. Decreasing work morale is a characteristic and lack of motivation felt by most workers (Bangun, 2012). Wayne et al. (1997) in Chow et al. (2006) found that organizational support at a high level creates a sense of obligation, where employees not only feel that they must commit to management, but also feel obliged to repay the favor by putting more effort into their work. When employees feel they part of the organization, employee commitment will develop and their performance increases (Ghafoor et al., 2011).

In the Health Ministry recapitulation data of the Indonesian Ministry of Health, North Sulawesi has 192 health centers spread across 16 regencies and cities. Tomohon City has 7 health centers consisting of 2 non-care health centers and 5 health centers. The Tomohon City Health Center has the task as a District / City health technical implementation unit (UPTD) which is responsible for organizing the health development of the Tomohon area. Tomohon City Health Center as the first stratum health service center conducts first-level health services in a comprehensive, integrated, and sustainable manner, which includes individual health services and public health services. The Tomohon City Health Center conducts activities including public health efforts as a form of health development effort. The study was conducted at seven Tomohon City Health Centers with research areas in all parts of the Health center operations. Based on the results of observations and interviews, several reasons were found which obstacles to the decline in employee performance were. Employees have low work initiatives because of the lack of opportunities for them to work independently. In addition, employees have less motivation because they choose to work alone and feel they are on a team that cannot provide support and assistance. There are still employees of the Tomohon City Health Center who arrive late and do not comply with the stipulated time rules which can trigger a decrease in the performance of employees and organizations if there is no follow-up from the agency.

This study aims to analyze (1) the effect of psychological empowerment on motivation; (2) the influence of motivation on employee performance; (3) the effect of psychological empowerment on employee performance.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Performance is a condition that must be known and informed to certain parties to find out the level of achievement of the results of an agency associated with the vision carried out by an organization and knowing the positive and negative impacts of an operational policy taken (Chasanah, 2008). Empowerment is one way of developing employees through employee involvement, namely by giving sufficient responsibility to complete tasks and decision making (Kadarisman, 2012). Empowerment can be viewed from two perspectives namely structural perspective and psychological perspective (Mario, 2010). Viewed from an organizational (structural) point of view, empowerment is the process of encouraging employees to set the goals of their work, and to provide greater capacity, responsibility, or authority to make decisions within the scope of their own work aimed at increasing engagement (Job Involvement) and employee job satisfaction to improve the quality of production and service (Mario, 2010). Viewed from the point of view of human resources (psychological), empowerment is the giving of opportunities and encouragement to employees to utilize their talents, skills, resources, and experience to complete work in a timely manner or in other words as feeling meaningful, capable, control their own work and have an important impact on society (Mario, 2010). Mathis and Jackson (2006) say, motivation is a desire in someone causing the person to do something. Someone takes action for something to achieve the goal. Motivation can be defined as an action to influence other people to behave regularly.

METHODS OF RESEARCH

Based on the problems studied, this study belongs to associative research (relationship), namely the causal relationship between variables of psychological empowerment, motivation and employee performance. This research was conducted at the Health center in the administrative area of Tomohon City. The reason behind the researchers conducting research at the Tomohon City Health Center is that this organization is a public service organization that is relied on by the community, both at the City and Village levels and is one proof of government work that can be directly felt by the community. Health center are expected to be able to provide quality and professional services. For this reason, it is necessary to empower psychological staff to achieve goals effectively. This study uses employee motivation and employee performance as organizational supporting factors in improving ability to achieve the highest standards of service quality. The object of research in this study is psychological empowerment, motivation and employee performance. The

method of data collection in this study was conducted with several data collection techniques, namely, interviews, questionnaires, observations and literature. The analysis techniques used were confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis. The population used for this study was 366 people in all the Health center staff in Tomohon City, North Sulawesi Province.

In this study used the proportionate stratified random sampling technique using formulas from Isaac and Michael in, Sugiyono (2013: 158). Based on the formula in with a population of 366 people and precision of 5%, it is calculated as 188.

The number of samples is obtained based on the location of the Health center which can be seen in Table 1. The number of samples based on the department obtained will be searched randomly at the employees of each Health center unit in Tomohon City.

This is indicated by the significance of the t test of the Psychological Empowerment variable of 0.000 and the significance of the t test of the Motivation variable of 0.000 which is smaller than 0.05. The magnitude of the variable path coefficient of Psychological Empowerment is 0.297, which means that the contribution of Psychological Empowerment to employee performance is 29.7%. The magnitude of the path coefficient of the Motivation variable on employee performance is 0.556, which means that the contribution of motivation to employee performance is 55.6%. This indicates that the high and low performance of 55% is determined by motivation. The error value of this structural model 2 can be calculated by the formula:

Pe2 = 7(1 - R2) = 0,609

The error value of 0.609 means that the variant of Employee Performance 60.9% is determined by variables outside the model (outside the variables of Psychological Empowerment and Motivation).

Figure 2 - Final Path Chart Model

After knowing the value of the path coefficient and standard error, it can be calculated the indirect effect and total effect of the variable psychological empowerment on the performance of employees in the Tomohon City Health Center. From the calculation results obtained the following results:

• From the calculation of the indirect effect of psychological empowerment on employee performance through Motivation (£1x£2) = (0.677 x 0.613) in the Tomohon City Health Center it was obtained 0.386 which means that indirect influence of psychological empowerment on performance through motivation in Tomohon City Health Center was 0.386 or 38.6%;

• From the calculation of the total effect on the performance of Tomohon City Health Center employees (£3 + £1x£2) = (0.319 + 0.677 x 0.613) the results are 0.683. The result of 0.683 means that the influence of psychological empowerment and motivation variables on employee performance in Tomohon City Health Center is 0.683 or 68.3%.

The goodness of fit test can be seen from the goodness of fit structural model in the path analysis in the form of the Total Determination Coefficient (R2m), which is calculated based on the R2 value of each endogenous variable. The model is said to be fit if supported by empirical data. By paying attention to the results of path analysis as presented in Table 5.12 and Table 5.13, it is known for the motivation variable (Y1), the value of R2 = 0.483 and for the performance variable (Y2) obtained R2 = 0.628.

R2m = l - (PeO2 (Pe2)2 = 0,81

The total determination value of 0.81 means that 81% of empirical data can explain the model or the model is said to be good. Thus, the model is feasible to provide an explanation and testing of the hypothesis.

To test the significance of the mediating role of the motivational variable, the Sobel formula is used. The results are obtained as follows:

Ho: Motivation is stated not to mediate the relationship between Psychological Empowerment and Employee Performance.

H1: Motivation is stated to mediate the relationship between Psychological Empowerment and Employee Performance.

Based on the path diagram of indirect influence, it can be calculated The standard error coefficients a and b are written with Sa and Sb, the standard size of indirect effect Sab is calculated by the following formula:

Sab = VfcWT^F + W Sab = 0,0558

To test the significance of the indirect effect it is necessary to calculate the z value of the ab coefficient, and the value is 6,92.

From the calculation results, the ratio of z count is 6.92> z table is 1.96, then Ho is rejected and Hi is accepted. This means that motivation mediates the relationship of psychological empowerment to employee performance at the Tomohon Health Center, so that it can be said that motivation is a mediating variable the influence of empowerment on employee performance. The determination coefficient for the regression equation with the mediating variable is 55.6%, which means that the vairation that occurs on employee performance is caused by psychological empowerment through motivation of 55.6%, while the remaining 44.4% is due to other variables not analyzed, while the results of coefficient of determination for the regression equation without mediation variables obtained at 68.4%.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Effect of Psychological Empowerment on Motivation. The first hypothesis is the hypothesis which states that Psychological Empowerment has a positive and significant influence on Motivation. Psychological Empowerment (X) is proven to have a positive and significant effect on motivation (Y1), which is indicated by the path coefficient value of 0.677, with a significance level or p-value = 0,000, which means very significant.

In this study found a positive and significant influence between psychological empowerment and motivation. The path coefficient has a positive sign, it can be interpreted that the increasing implementation of psychological empowerment of employees will be able to encourage the creation of higher work motivation. This shows that psychological empowerment measured by indicators: meaning, competence, self determination and impacts can increase the motivation of employees in the Tomohon City Health Center to be greater. This can be interpreted that if the employee gives the best effort at work, has the confidence in the ability to work, is responsible for the work and believes that the work done will have an impact on the agency, thus making these employees tend to have higher motivation so that they feel comfortable and motivated in carrying out their work. Thus, then hypothesis 1 that reads, psychological empowerment has a positive and significant effect on motivation, supported.

Effect of Motivation on Employee Performance. The second hypothesis states that Motivation has a positive and significant influence on Employee Performance. Motivation (Y1) is proven to have a positive and significant effect on performance (Y2), which is indicated by the path coefficient value of 0.613, with a significance level or p-value = 0,000, which means it is very significant.

In this study found a path coefficient marked positive, it can be interpreted that increasing employee motivation will be able to encourage the creation of better performance. This shows that employee motivation as measured by indicators: reward systems, salary, interpersonal relations, responsibility, knowledge / training and information can improve the performance of Tomohon City Health Center employees to be higher. This can be interpreted that if the employee gets enough rest time, receives overtime fees, has a good relationship with his boss and coworkers, is able to operate the tool, has the opportunity to communicate ideas about work and has the knowledge needed to do work assignments, thus being able to improve better performance at Tomohon City Health Center employees. Thus, then

hypothesis 2 that reads, motivation has a positive and significant effect on performance, supported.

The Effect of Psychological Empowerment on Employee Performance. The third hypothesis states that Psychological Empowerment has a positive and significant influence on Employee Performance. Psychological Empowerment (X) proved to have a positive and significant effect on performance (Y2), which is indicated by the path coefficient value of 0.319, with a significance level or p-value = 0,000, which means it is very significant.

In this study it was found that the path coefficients were positively marked, meaning that increasing the implementation of psychological empowerment of employees would be able to encourage better performance. This shows that psychological empowerment is measured by indicators: meaning, competence, self-determination and impacts can improve the performance of Tomohon City Health Center employees to be higher. This can be interpreted if the employee feels the work done is very meaningful, always wants to give the best for the agency, has the ability to do work in detail, has the opportunity to work independently, has confidence in dealing with patients, thus the employee of Tomohon City Health Center is able improve their performance for the better. Thus, hypothesis 3 which reads, empowerment has a positive and significant effect on acceptable performance.

Research Limitations:

Research only uses path analysis analysis techniques, which should be able to be further developed with other analysis techniques, such as: PLS, confirmatory and SEM analysis, multiple linear regression and AMOS.

Research uses only one independent variable, Psychological Empowerment, which should be developed again by adding other independent variables such as Structural Empowerment. Research uses only one independent variable, Psychological Empowerment, which should be developed again by adding other independent variables such as Structural Empowerment.
