Performance
According Sedarmayanti (2011: 260) revealed that "Performance is a translation of
performance which means the work of a worker, a management process or an organization as
a whole, where the results of the work must be demonstrated concretely and measurable
(compared to standards that have been determined). "
Meanwhile, according to Mathis and Jackson (2012: 378) explains that performance is
what is done or not done by employees. Based on the definition of the opinions of the experts
above it can be concluded that the notion of performance in this study is what is done or not
Job Satisfaction
According to Gibson, Ivancevich, and Donnely (in Priansa, 2016: 291) suggested that
job satisfaction is a person's attitude towards their service, that attitude comes from their
perceptions about their work. Meanwhile, George Dan Jones (in Priansa, 2016: 291) job
satisfaction is a collection of feelings, beliefs, and thoughts about how to respond to his work.
Based on the opinions of the experts it can be concluded that job satisfaction is the
worker's confidence about the job and the work situation. Job satisfaction shows a person's
feelings towards his job. This can be seen from the positive attitude of employees towards
work and everything that is encountered in the work environment. Job satisfaction is a
positive feeling about one's work that is the result of an evaluation of its characteristics.
Employees with high levels of job satisfaction have positive feelings about their work, while
employees who are dissatisfied have feelings about their work Robbins and Judge in
Lailatirrohmah (2014: 46).
Job satisfaction according to Dadang (2013: 15) is a pleasant or unpleasant emotional
state towards work, job satisfaction reflects a person's feelings towards his work.
According to Gilmer in Edy Sutrisno (2014: 77), the factors that influence job
satisfaction are:
1. Opportunity to advance. In this case, there are opportunities to gain experience
and increase ability during work.
2. Willingness to work. This factor is referred to as supporting job satisfaction for
employees. Safe circumstances greatly affect employee feelings during work.
3. Salary. Salary causes more dissatisfaction and rarely people express work
satisfaction with the amount of money they earn.
Ethics is a set of moral principles that distinguish what is right from what is wrong
Beekun in Lailatirrohmah (2014: 45). Ethics is a profession because it determines what must
be done or not done. Ethics includes moral issues and choices related to right and wrong
behavior. Ethics can also be considered as basic principles through which employees and
companies interact. These principles must be considered in business decision making and
dealing with customers and customers (Noe et al, 2010: 5).
The great prophet Muhammad PBUH is an example in all aspects of life as explained
in the Qur'an as follows.
"Indeed, the Prophet (s) is a good role model for you (that is) for those who hope for (the
mercy) of Allah and (the coming of) the Day of Resurrection and He often mentions
Allah. (Surat al-Ahzab: 21) ".
In the verse it is explained that in the Messenger of Allah there is a good role model,
Akhlaq Rasulullah is not the result of human mind engineering, but is really a picture of the
Qur'an in daily practice, as explained by a hadith "From Sa'id ibn Hisham ibn Ghomir once
asked Ayesha RA about the morals of Rasulullah SAW. Ayesha answered,
"The morals of the Prophet SAW are the Koran." (Musnad Imam Ahmad, No. 23460)
From the above hadith it can be said that the person or the morals of the Messenger of
Allah is a description of the implementation of the Qur'an in daily life at various stages of life
including in it regarding work ethics, so that Islamic work ethics is ethics regulated in the
Qur'an whose practice exemplified by the Messenger of Allah. Allah gave praise to His
Prophet, in His word
"And indeed you are truly noble character." (Qur'an, 4: 4).
The closest term to ethics in Islam is Akhlaq. The term in the Quran that is directly
related to ethics is alkhuluq. Al-khuluq is derived from the basic words khaluqa-khuluqan,
which means, tabi'at, character, knighthood, hopelessness. Islam provides guidance on the
belief in monotheism, the basis of monotheism is combined with the example given by the
Prophet, which is expected to produce humans who have good morals or ethics.
By practicing work ethics according to the Messenger of Allah, it will automatically
work with a good moral frame, because the best human behavior is the character of the
Prophet, as explained in the hadith, Anas RA said,
"The situation of the Prophet Muhammad is the man with the most noble character".
(Sahih Al-Bukhârî Hadith no. 5735).
Even one's faith is very much determined by the morality concerned, as stated in the
hadith of the Prophet Muhammad
"Perfectly the faith of a believer is the best of morals" (HR. Turmudzi).
There are seven dimensions of Islamic work ethics namely, Work intention,
Trusteeship, Work type, Work for Islamic Ummah, Justice & Fairness, Cooperation &
Collaboration and Work as the only source of ownership.

sample size is between 100-200, and suggest that the minimum sample size is 5 observations
for each estimated parameter.
Ferdinand mentioned (2014: 40) the model estimation technique available in AMOS
21.0. These include: Maximum likelihood Estimation (ML), Generalized Least Square
Estimation (GLS), Unweight Least Estimation (ULS), Scale Free Least Estimation (SLS),
and Asymptotically Distribution - Free Estimation (ADF).
Information:
• Standard Loading is obtained from standard loading for each indicator obtained from
computer calculations.
• Σ јј is the measurement error for each indicator. Measurement error can be obtained from 1
