AB  - This study aims to explain the moderating role of work motivation in the relationship between
leadership and workforce performance in medium and large companies. This study presents a comparison of
models in which workforce performance is determined by the way the executive leadership manages the
workforce with different work motivation conditions. This study aims to prove that contractor companies must
have good ability in determining a field executive in each project. This study chose a descriptive study by
examining the comparison of two structural models of leadership relationships of field executives on workforce
performance that is moderated by work motivation. The data were obtained from 100 respondents of foremen,
skilled workers and workers of 48 medium and large companies. The hypothetical model was tested using
structural equation modeling with a partial least square approach. This study will require a change in the
workforce performance will increase if the company can place a proper field executive. For medium companies,
people-oriented leadership is more appropriately applied to low-motivation conditions and task-oriented
leadership is more appropriately applied to high-motivation conditions. Meanwhile, for large companies,
people-oriented leadership is more appropriately applied to high-motivation conditions and task-oriented
leadership is more appropriately applied to low-motivation conditions. This study has implications for the
development of the company regarding determining the appropriate leadership style for field executives
following the company level. Errors in this case will have an impact on the nonconformity of leadership required
in the project.
