Abstract

This study aims to describe the impact of leadership and the use of electronic attendance on employee discipline
at the Bima City Education, Youth, and Sports Agency. The study employed a mixed-method approach, combining
quantitative data analysis through hypothesis testing with qualitative data analysis. Primary data this study is
based on the distribution of questionnaires and in-depth interviews with the Head of the Department and
employees of the Bima City Education and Culture Office. The results show that leadership has a significant
influence on employee discipline. Furthermore, the use of electronic attendance can improve employee work
discipline. The implication of this research is that the presence of leaders in an organization cannot be replaced
by technology, although the use of technology has a significant impact on work discipline. However, without
transformational and visionary leaders controlling employee work discipline, it will not have an impact on
improving decency and performance.
