Keywords:
Work Discipline, Work Environment, Organizational Commitment, Employee Performance.Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of work discipline and work environment on employee performance with organizational commitment as a mediating variable at the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) of Kendari City. The population of this study consisted of all employees at BPS Kendari City, totaling 44 employees, and the entire population was used as the research sample through a census (total sampling) technique. This research employed a quantitative approach using a structured questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the study indicate that work discipline has a positive and significant effect on employee performance and organizational commitment. The work environment also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance and organizational commitment. Furthermore, organizational commitment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The mediation analysis reveals that organizational commitment significantly mediates the relationship between work discipline and employee performance, as well as the relationship between the work environment and employee performance. These findings suggest that improving employee performance requires not only the enforcement of work discipline and the creation of a conducive work environment but also the strengthening of organizational commitment. This study contributes to the literature on human resource management in the public sector by highlighting the strategic role of organizational commitment as an intervening variable. The findings are expected to provide practical implications for policymakers and managers at BPS Kendari City in formulating effective strategies to enhance employee performance.
