Downloads
Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of prosecutor competence on organizational performance by considering the mediating role of servant leadership in handling criminal cases related to women and children in the State Attorney's Office in Indonesia.
Methods and Materials: This study used a quantitative approach with an observational research design. Data were collected from 50 Heads of State Attorney's Offices and 100 prosecutors using purposive sampling. Measurement was conducted through a survey with a structured questionnaire. Data analysis used the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method with the help of SmartPLS software.
Findings: The results showed that prosecutor competence positively and significantly influences organizational performance (t-statistic = 7.579, p-value = 0.00, coefficient = 0.274). In addition, servant leadership also has a significant positive effect on prosecutor competence (t-statistic = 4.709, p-value = 0.007, coefficient = 0.274) and organizational performance (t-statistic = 3.355, p-value = 0.005, coefficient = 0.257). The effect of prosecutor competence on organizational performance was also significantly mediated by servant leadership (coefficient = 0.225).
Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of prosecutor competency development and servant leadership as strategies to improve organizational performance in handling women and children-related crimes. Implementing training and development programs that enhance prosecutors' competencies and foster servant leadership values is crucial in State Attorney's offices. This study makes a novel contribution by demonstrating how servant leadership can mediate the effect of prosecutor competence on organizational performance in handling cases related to women and children.
