Abstract

Introduction: The development of the shipping industry is inseparable from the various issues and obstacles faced. Understanding the factors that influence employee performance and organizational resilience is crucial for ensuring the industry's sustainability.

Objectives: This research aims to analyze the influence of competence, transformational leadership style, and organizational climate on organizational innovation, organizational resilience, and employee performance in shipping companies in South Kalimantan. It also examines the influence of organizational innovation and organizational resilience on employee performance, as well as the role of artificial intelligence and company value in strengthening these relationships.

Methods This research is a qualitative study utilizing primary data. The population consists of 315 employees working in shipping companies in South Kalimantan, with a research sample of 176 employees selected using a purposive sampling method. Data was collected through employee questionnaire responses via Google Forms and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SEM AMOS 26.

Results The findings reveal four key insights: (1) Transformational leadership style has no significant effect on employee performance, (2) Organizational climate has no significant effect on organizational resilience, (3) Artificial intelligence does not strengthen the relationship between organizational resilience and employee performance, and (4) Company value does not strengthen the relationship between organizational resilience and employee performance. Meanwhile, other tested hypotheses show significant relationships between variables.

Conclusions This study provides empirical insights into factors influencing employee performance in the shipping industry. While some expected relationships were not significant, the research highlights the critical role of competence, innovation, and resilience in enhancing organizational performance. These findings contribute to the academic discourse on leadership, organizational development, and the strategic application of artificial intelligence in the shipping sector.
