Data diambil dengan instrumen penelitian berupa daftar pertanyaan dengan didukung wawancara langsung dengan responden. Setelah dilakukan uji validitas dan reliabilitas data dengan korelasi split half method dan rumusSpearman Brown kemudian dilakukan analisis dengan teknik analisis korelasi product moment Pearson, korelasi berganda dan tabel Anova dari analisa regresi linear dengan last square method.
Dari kuestioner yang disebarkan kepada 65 responden, diambil 50 responden sesuai dengan jumlah pengambilan sampel yang ditetapkan yang mewakili populasi sejumlah 149 orang.
Dari data penelitian yang telah valid dan reliabel dilakukan analisis dengan hasil, bahwa :
1. Ada hubungan positif dan signifikan antara variabel kepemimpinan dengan kinerja, dengan nilai koefisien korelasi (r) sebesar : 0.950
2. Ada hubungan positif dan signifikan antara variabel motivasi dengan kinerja, dengan nilai koefisien korelasi (r ) sebesar : 0.859
3. Ada hubungan positif dan signifikasi antara variabel kepemimpinan dan motivasi dengan kinerja, dengan nilai koefisien korelasi ( R2 ) sebesar : 0.948
Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa hubungan antara variabel-variabel yang diteliti adalah sangat erat.
