Abstrak

Research Aims: This study aims to determine and analyze the influence of work discipline and work environment on employee performance through job satisfaction as an intervening variable at BWS Sumatera V Padang. Design/methodology/approach: This study used quantitative methods. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 85 respondents using a total sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) 4.0.  Research Findings: The results of this study indicate that work discipline has a significant and insignificant effect on job satisfaction. The work environment has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. However, work discipline does not significantly influence employee performance. Job satisfaction was found to be unable to mediate the effect of work discipline on employee performance. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study provides a new perspective on the dynamics of job satisfaction as a mediator that is not always significant and the context of managing water resources.
