This study aims at examining the effect of training results perceptions on individual work performance of employee, and intrinsic and extrinsic motivation serving as moderation strengthening that effect. T his study was quantitative research selecting 453 samples out of 1.311 population from PT KAI’s employees in which they are executive officer. The data collection was done using a close questionnaire with Likert scale 1-5. All valid and reliable instruments were assessed through Factor Analysis and Cronbach's Alpha Analysis. Hypothesis testing is carried out using Hierarchical Regression Analysis by including the Multicollinearity test as a prerequisite for analysis. The study results showed that training result perceptions and extrinsic motivation simultaneously or partially have a positive and significant effect on individual work performance of employee, but intrinsic motivation have no significant effect. Intrinsic or extrinsic motivation does not moderate or strengthen the relationship between training result perceptions and individual work performance of employee.

The implication for PT KAI is that to improve the individual work performance of its employees, the organization can focus on improving training, external motivation or both. It depends on the vision, long-term goals, and resources of PT KAI.

Intrapersonal competencies complement the interpersonal skills of emotionally intelligent leaders. Experts believe that general intelligence (IQ) contributes to no more than twenty- five percent of ones overall success. The extent to which employers are capable of indentifying and meeting their employees job satisfaction needs can be a significant characteristic of their emotional intelligence (EI), in contrast with their cognitive abilities. In this study, the quantitative research method was used to determine the employees perceptions of their leaders intrapersonal competencies and their influence on their job satisfaction; the six competencies being self-awareness, self-confidence, self-expression, self-control, adaptability, and optimism. In order to be satisfied at work, the findings of this study clearly indicate that employees prefer to be led by leaders who are confident in their leadership role, who send out clear, unambiguous messages, who maintain self-control, who are adaptable and flexible, who face the future with optimism, and who support the establishment of a collegial working environment. Evidently, the findings corroborate the hypothesis that employees believe that the intrapersonal competencies of leaders have a positive influence on the employees sense of job satisfaction. This studys findings, therefore, confirm that the key to the leaders self-knowledge is access to their own feelings and the ability to discriminate among them and draw upon them to guide behaviour in their organisations. It makes a contribution to the emerging research being accomplished on leaders intrapersonal intelligence with more research still needing to be done on how these competencies impact on the organisational climate and culture.
