Effect of Organizational Culture and Perception of Organizational Support for Need for Achievement in Female Police in North Sumatra Regional Police

Introduction

Human resource management plays a crucial role in shaping employee behavior, attitudes, and performance. One of the key factors that influence individual performance is the need for achievement (Need for Achievement). This study aims to investigate the effect of organizational culture and perception of organizational support on the need for achievement in female police officers in the North Sumatra Regional Police.

Background

The North Sumatra Regional Police is one of the largest police forces in Indonesia, with a diverse range of tasks and responsibilities. Female police officers play a vital role in maintaining law and order, and their performance is critical to the success of the organization. However, research has shown that female police officers often face unique challenges and barriers that can impact their motivation and performance.

Methodology

This study involved 147 female police officers in the North Sumatra Regional Police, using a scale to measure the need for achievement, organizational culture, and perception of organizational support. The results show a positive relationship between organizational culture and perception of organizational support with the need for achievement (R = 0.463, R2 = 0.215, F = 19,682, p < 0.01). This indicates that the more positive the organizational culture and perception of organizational support, the higher the need for achievement in female police officers.

Organizational Culture and Need for Achievement

Organizational culture refers to the values, norms, and practices that shape the behavior and attitudes of employees. This study found that two important aspects of organizational culture that encourage the need for achievement are:

Adaptation (Adaptability): The ability of the organization to adapt to changes and dynamic environments.
Mission (Mission): Clarity and meaning of the organization's mission that inspires members to excel.

The mission aspect makes a greater contribution to the need for achievement. This shows that female police officers who understand and are inspired by the organization's mission tend to have higher motivation to achieve achievements.

Perception of Organizational Support and Need for Achievement

Perception of organizational support refers to the extent to which employees feel supported and valued by their organization. This study found that two main aspects of perception of organizational support that influence the need for achievement are:

Support Supervisor (Supervisor Support): Perception of support and guidance received from superiors.
Reward and Working Conditions (Organization Reward and Job Condition): Perception of the reward system and fair and motivating working conditions.

The reward aspects and working conditions make a greater contribution to the need for achievement. This indicates that female police officers who feel the reward system and adequate working conditions tend to have higher motivation to achieve achievements.

Conclusion

This research shows that the organizational culture and perception of organizational support play a vital role in increasing the need for achievement in the North Sumatra Police in the North Sumatra Regional Police. Increasing awareness and efforts to build an adaptive and mission-driven organizational culture, as well as increasing the perception of support from superiors and the reward system, can be an effective strategy for motivating female police officers and improving their performance.

Recommendations

Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made:

Develop a mission-driven organizational culture: The North Sumatra Regional Police should develop a clear and inspiring mission that motivates female police officers to excel.
Improve perception of supervisor support: The organization should provide regular feedback and guidance to female police officers to enhance their perception of supervisor support.
Enhance reward system and working conditions: The organization should review and improve the reward system and working conditions to ensure that they are fair and motivating.
Provide training and development opportunities: The organization should provide regular training and development opportunities to enhance the skills and knowledge of female police officers.

By implementing these recommendations, the North Sumatra Regional Police can create a positive and supportive work environment that encourages female police officers to achieve their full potential.

Limitations of the Study

This study has several limitations that should be noted. Firstly, the study was conducted in a single organization, and the findings may not be generalizable to other organizations. Secondly, the study used a self-report measure of need for achievement, which may be subject to biases and limitations. Finally, the study did not control for other factors that may influence the need for achievement, such as individual differences and organizational context.

Future Research Directions

Future research should aim to replicate and extend the findings of this study in other organizations and contexts. Additionally, researchers should investigate the role of other factors that may influence the need for achievement, such as individual differences and organizational context. Finally, researchers should explore the effectiveness of interventions aimed at enhancing the need for achievement in female police officers.
