Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of motivation and work discipline on job satisfaction with compensation as an intervening variable at BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Solok. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. The research sample consists of 100 employees selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results indicate that motivation and work discipline have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. Furthermore, motivation and work discipline also have a positive and significant effect on compensation. Compensation has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction and is proven to mediate the relationship between motivation, work discipline, and job satisfaction. Therefore, improving employee motivation and work discipline supported by a fair and appropriate compensation system can enhance job satisfaction among employees of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Solok.
