INTRODUCTION
Survival and cooperative development are highly dependent on management. Good management will bring a positive impact on the cooperative permiting its rapidly growth. However, poor management of the cooperatives will bring bad effects in the cooperative and indirectly on the nation's economy. In line with the progress of time, cooperative development does not match expectations. Contributions existence less can be felt directly by the people. Now the country's economic life is controlled by the big companies with the capitalist system.
Many factors can lead to reduced levels of growth, both the level of growth in the number of members, business volume and the level of net income (SHU) is achieved cooperatives in the district of Padang. Based on the results of a strategic plan study Cooperatives and SME Padang District states that the general problems faced by cooperatives in the district of Padang, among others:
In line with the above statement, (Telha, Rodrigues, Páscoa, & Tribolet, 2016) through his research that: Employee Performance is most important factor in an organization success therefore, there is needto adopt effective human resources strategies that aim to improve employee performance and creates the culture of high performance in any organization based on human resource practices.
That the performance of employees is the most important factor in the success of the organization, therefore, there is a need to adopt an effective HR strategy that aims to improve employee performance and creating high performance in any organization is based on the practice of human resources.
(Al Mehrzi & Singh, 2016) through the research results stated that the significant and positive relationship between motivation and performance of employees. Irum Shahzadi et. al add the conclusion that the intrinsic rewards have a significant positive relationship with employee performance and motivation of employees. Then (Beth Knight, 2016) through his research stating that leadership, compensation, and motivation to work together and partially positive and significant impact on performance. Motivation is a process that needs to encourage a person to perform a series of events that lead to achievement particular purpose. If achieved will satisfy or fulfill those needs.
Motivation is one of the tools to subordinate superiors willing to work hard and work smart by expected.Employees need to be motivated as there are new employees who want to work after their superiors motivated. The motivation arising from the boss called extrinsic motivation and motivation arising from the self-called intrinsic motivation. The motivation arising from self-will usually more durable than the motivation that comes from outside.
(Mintrom & Norman, 2009), through his research, concluded that leadership affects the relationship between employee participation and organizational performance. Findings from this study also showed a poor relationship between leaders and employees, so that the results of the study concluded that leadership can positively affect the performance of employees in the service sector. Then (Singh, 2013) through research states that delegates are effective in organizations to improve employee performance and organizational performance in general. The findings of this research are also paramount in informing managers and employees that need a delegate and how to use delegation as management skills to improve employee performance. While the results of research conducted by (Joo & Ready, 2012) concluded that leadership is useful to motivate the employees working in the organization.
Based on the three statements above, the lack of motivation and performance of employees of cooperatives in the district of Padang tend to be caused by the relative lack of good leadership.
Compensation, the most fundamental of human resources (employees) that they redeem all their energy and their mind to get compensation. Compensation may include salary, incentives, and benefits that can improve employee motivation and ultimately improve employee performance. Their sense of injustice of the employees will lead to things that are not good for achieving organizational goals. This is due to the gap between the expectations of employees with the fact that the organized obtained.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Leadership
(Beth Knight, 2016) define leadership as a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. Leaders play an important role in helping groups and organizations to achieve their goal. After all the abilities and leadership skills in directing are important factors of leadership effectiveness.
Leadership is to ensure direction, alignment and commitment to the team and organization (Mintrom & Norman, 2009).
Leadership is an important part of management, the statement in (Joo & Ready, 2012) that the leader as a person who can determine exactly what should be done and the manager is the one who can do it right all the duties and responsibilities. Another opinion expressed by (Andiyasari & Ardiningtiyas, 2010) which distinguish the management with leadership based on the functions and activities. Leadership deals with change mitigation, while management is concerned with countermeasures complexity. That is not the same as management leadership. Leaders determine where the direction of the business, internally and externally towards the goal. Leaders are strategists who set goals of the organization, while managers focus on ways to enable an organization to achieve its goals.
Based on the above, in this study is defined leadership a process to influence and support major changes in attitudes and assumptions of members of the organization to achieve organizational goals, Leadership is measured by four dimensions, namely:
a. Target jobs
b. The high performance of subordinates
c. Improved performance.
a. Explanation tasks
b. Information on how to duty
c. Relations duties of employees
d. clarity instruction
e. Monitoring subordinate task
a. togetherness task
b. Cooperation
c. Participation
d. Work in a group
e. Discussion
a. working interest
b. Work atmosphere
c. Giving opportunity
d. labor conflict
e. Spirit at work
Compensation
(Platis, Reklitis, & Zimeras, 2015) defines the compensation is "compensation as all forms of payments or rewards given to employees roommates Arise from their employment". Compensation is as any form of payment or benefits granted to employees arising from their employment. Compensation is one of the basic reasons for employees to find work. According to (Gula, 2008), compensation can be divided into three classifications, namely fixed-pay, flexible pay and benefits. Meanwhile, according to (Crane, Michenaud, & Weston, 2016) compensation is divided into two classifications, namely Performance-based pay and non-performance-based pay.
Then Another classification of the compensation as stated by (Ittner, Larcker, & Meyer, 2003) as follows: "Direct Compensation is the basic wage and Salaries, plus performance-based pay. Indirect compensation of health insurance programs, pay for time not worked and various other employee benefits". Direct compensation consists of wages and salaries and other payments based on performance. Indirect compensation includes programs such as health insurance, payment of salary for not working and other forms of benefit.
(Hirshleifer & Teoh, 2003) suggest that compensation reminds the achievements of individuals, groups or organizations that may include: wage cuts (wage period), commissions, bonuses, for-profit and for production. Wage cuts (wage period) is the wage outcome is not satisfactory, because wages can only be set if the work can be measured according to a certain size, such as the number of times, the amount of weight, the amount of breadth by what to do.
Based on the above, this study is defined as compensation (award) directly or indirectly granted to employees based on the value of work, Contributions and employee performance. Compensation was measured in two dimensions, namely:
a. Suitability of salary/wages
b. magnitude incentives
c. The quantity of money eating (food) received
d. The quantity of money transformation received.
a. The magnitude of health benefits
b. Holiday allowance
c. Allowances completed work
d. provision of training
e. The award of the leaders/organizations.
Work motivation
(Murphy, Benckendorff, & Moscardo, 2007) motivation is a process that needs to encourage a person to perform a series of activities that lead to the achievement of certain goals. Motivation is defined by (Sharma, 2009) as the willingness to exert high levels of effort toward organizational goals, conditioned by the effort's ability to satisfy some individual needs. Three key elements in further definitions are provided as an effort, the organization's goals and needs.
Given the Stanford (Heller Baird & Parasnis, 2011), motivation is a condition that drives man toward specificgoals. Meanwhile, (Baird & Parasnis, 2011) defines motivation is a stimulant desire and willingness to work one's locomotion. While (Stello, 2014) defines motivation as an integral part of the relationship / industrial in theframework of the process of formation, development and human resource director in a company.
According to (Grant, 2012) states that motivation is a term used in organizational behavior to portray the forces within the individual, which describe the extent, direction, and persistence of effort expended on the job. While the opinion of (Webb, Bruton, Tihanyi, & Ireland, 2013) argues work motivation is defined as a condition affecting arousal, direction, and maintenance of behaviors relevant to the work setting.
Based on the description above theory, so in this study work motivation is defined as an employee's willingness to exert high levels of effort toward organizational goals, conditioned by the effort's ability to satisfy some individual needs, Motivation is measured by three-dimensional work, namely:
a. by salary requirements
b. in accordance incentive need
c. Suitability of allowances needs
d. The certainty of continuity of work.
a. Relations with member
b. Relationships with colleagues
c. Relations with the board
a. Recognition of the work
b. The award is given for the work
c. The opportunity to develop skills in the job
Employee performance
(Malär, Nyffenegger, Krohmer, & Hoyer, 2012) defines performance as a function of the ability to do, the opportunity to perform and willingness to perform. Performance can be seen as the capacity of individual employees to perform the performance by the capacity, opportunity, and ability you want to show. While (Kotabe& Murray, 2004), the performance as a result of work-related to organizational objectives such as quality, efficiency, and other effectiveness criteria. (Singh, 2013) identified performance as the result of an activity which is one measure of individual performance.
(Kamisah, 2012) that the performance of an embodiment of the work done by the employee which is usually used as the basis for an assessment of the employee or the organization. The good performance is a step to the achievement of organizational goals. So that needs to be pursued efforts to improve performance. But this is not easy because many factors affect a person's high and low performance.
(Kurtessis et al., 2015) are defined as the achievement of the performance of a specific task as measured against a predetermined or standard identification accuracy, completeness, cost, and speed. (Style & Performance, 2015), the performance is defined as the results achieved from the action with the skills of employees who appear in some situations. Meanwhile, according to (Sutanto & Kurniawan, 2016), performance is a function of motivation and ability.
Based on the description above theory, so in this study is defined employee performance work results achieved on the ability of employees to carry out and complete the work by the responsibilities assigned to him by the criteria and objectives set by the organization. Employee performance is measured by the six dimensions, namely:
a. Suitability work with job readiness
b. Suitability work with occupational standards
a. Suitability of the work with the target job
b. The accuracy of completion of work
c. The completion of the work exceeds the standard time.
a. The level of knowledge in the work
b. The skill level in the work
c. Degree of caution in the work.
a. Willingness collaboration with colleagues
b. The willingness of cooperation with the leaders.

b. Initiatives find solutions to solve the problem
c. Morale in executing new jobs
a. Honest and responsible
b. Loyal to the leadership
c. Loyal to the organization
