The results show that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (t = 2.895, p = 0.005), indicating that effective leadership practices contribute to improved employee outcomes. Work discipline also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (t = 3.961, p < 0.001), demonstrating that disciplined employees tend to perform better. Furthermore, the simultaneous test reveals that transformational leadership and work discipline jointly have a significant effect on employee performance (F = 25.149, p < 0.001).
