Work motivation and work-life balance on employee performance as mediated by job satisfaction

Abstract

This study examines the effect of work motivation and work-life balance on employee performance with job satisfaction mediation. This study is a type of quantitative research with a data collection method using a questionnaire. The research sample was 185 nursing staff at X Hospital. This study uses non-probability sampling with the Quota sampling type. The data analysis technique used is SEM-PLS. The results of the study indicate that work motivation cannot improve employee performance. However, work-life balance can improve employee performance. Work motivation can improve employee job satisfaction, while work-life balance cannot improve job satisfaction. Job satisfaction can improve employee performance. Job satisfaction can mediate Work Motivation in improving performance but cannot mediate Work-Life Balance in improving employee performance. The study results suggest that Hospital X should pay more attention to employees by providing motivation and implementing an excellent work-life balance as a reference for employees' work.
