Abstract

This study was aimed to test the influence of organizational communication on employee performance, both directly and indirectly through knowledge sharing on employees at STT Raden Wijaya Mojokerto City. This research was a quantitative research, with data obtained through questionnaires on 30 employees at STT Raden Wijaya who were selected using saturated sampling techniques. The research data that has been collected was then analyzed using path analysis using the SmartPLS program. The results of the study showed that: a) the Organizational Communication (X) variable on Knowledge Sharing (Z) obtained a t-statistic of 5.498 with a positive sign and greater than the t-table, and with a p-value of 0.000; b) the Organizational Communication (X) variable on Employee Performance (Y) obtained a t- statistic of 2.002 with a positive sign and greater than the t- table, and with a p-value of 0.046; c) the Knowledge Sharing (Z) variable on Employee Performance (Y) obtained a t- statistic of 5.427 with a positive sign and greater than the t- table, and with a p-value of 0.000, and; d) the Organizational Communication (X) on Employee Performance (Y) through Knowledge Sharing (Z) obtained a t-statistic of 1.829 with a positive sign and lower than the t-table, and with a p-value of 0.068. This showed that organizational communication can directly affect knowledge sharing and employee performance. However, indirectly, knowledge sharing cannot mediate the influence of organizational communication on employee performance.
