This study aimed to analyze the influence of non-physical work environment and workload on the work discipline of civil servants (ASN) at the Department of Manpower of North Sumatra Province. The research background was based on the importance of creating a conducive work environment and a proportional workload distribution to enhance employee discipline and performance. This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 69 respondents selected from a total of 215 civil servants using the Slovin formula. The data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique based on Partial Least Square (PLS) with SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results showed that the non-physical work environment had a positive and significant effect on work discipline, with a t-statistic value of 5.925 and a p-value of 0.000. Likewise, workload had a positive and significant effect on work discipline, with a t-statistic value of 2.157 and a p-value of 0.031. These findings indicated that a comfortable work atmosphere and a properly distributed workload according to individual capacity encouraged higher employee discipline in performing their duties and responsibilities.
