Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the performance of employees in Magersari District, Mojokerto City using work environment and work motivation variables as independent variables, and organizational commitment as an intervening variable.

Research Methodology: The type of sample used was total sampling with a total population of 53 employees. Data were collected using questionnaires, and data analysis techniques were used with Partial Least Square analysis.

Results: Work environment and motivation do not directly affect employee performance, but both significantly improve organizational commitment. Organizational commitment significantly affects performance and mediates the effects of work environment and motivation.

Conclusions: Work workload has a negative but insignificant effect on employee performance, while work motivation has a positive but insignificant effect. Job satisfaction positively and significantly affects employee performance and mediates the effects of workload and work motivation on employee performance.

Limitations: This study is limited to 53 employees of Magersari District, Mojokerto City; therefore, the findings may not be generalizable to broader organizational contexts.

Contributions: This study contributes to human resource management by confirming the important role of job satisfaction in mediating the effect of work environment and work motivation on employee performance.
