Abstract

This study aims to analyze the contribution of teamwork in improving the performance of employees of the Public Works Office of Padang Lawas Regency. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method of 70 employees selected through simple random sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out in February–May 2025 using a Likert scale questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out by simple linear regression using SPSS. The results showed that the teamwork variable had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, with a t-count value of 6.712 and a significance of 0.000 < 0.05. A determination coefficient value (R²) of 0.420 indicates that teamwork contributes 42% to improving employee performance, while the rest is influenced by other factors such as leadership and work motivation. These findings reinforce the theory of Robbins and Judge (2021) which states that effective teamwork increases organizational productivity and collaboration. The results of the study recommend that the Public Works Office strengthen communication, trust, and coordination between employees to create a collaborative and results-oriented work culture.
