Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Work Discipline on Employee Performance, the influence of Work Discipline on Motivation, the influence of Motivation on Employee Performance, and the role of Motivation as a mediating variable between Work Discipline and Employee Performance. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method based on Partial Least Square (PLS) using SmartPLS 4.1.1.2 software. The number of samples in this study was 33 respondents who were permanent employees. The results of the study indicate that Work Discipline has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance, Work Discipline has a positive and significant effect on Motivation, and Motivation has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance. In addition, Motivation is proven to be able to significantly mediate the influence of Work Discipline on Employee Performance. This finding indicates that increasing work discipline not only has a direct effect on performance, but also indirectly through increasing employee motivation. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of implementing consistent work discipline and strengthening internal motivation as a strategy in improving employee performance optimally and sustainably.
