THE INFLUENCE OF HUMAN RESOURCE COMPETENCE ON THE QUALITY OF GARMENT PRODUCTS AT PT. DAESE BANDUNG

Abstract

Abstract

This study examines the impact of human resource competence on the quality of garment products at PT. Daese located in Bandung. The research focuses on measuring components of competence such as knowledge, attitude, and skills of employees and their effect on improving the quality of garment products produced. A descriptive method with a quantitative approach was employed, involving 100 respondents from PT. Daese’s employees through probability sampling using a likert scale. Data analysis via simple linear regression indicates that human resource competence exerts a positive and significant effect on product quality. This is demonstrated by a significance value of 0.000, which is below the 0.05 threshold, and a t-value of 11.829, exceeding the critical value of 1.98447, leading to acceptance of hypothesis H1 and rejection of H0. The determination coefficient of 0.588 suggests that human resource competence contributes 58.8% of the influence on product quality, while the remaining 41.2% is affected by other factors not studied here. These findings underscore the importance of developing human resource competence as a primary strategy to enhance garment product quality at PT. Daese.
