The effect of work motivation and work environment on employee performance through work engagement

Abstract

This research examines the effect of work motivation and work environment through work engagement on employee performance. This research is quantitative research with data collection methods using questionnaires. The sample in this study was 85 employees of PT. Pelindo Terminal Petikemas New Makassar who were determined using the Slovin method. The data analysis technique used is SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) PLS. The results of this research show that the two independent variables, namely work motivation and work environment, have a positive influence, but the work motivation variable does not have a significant influence, while the work environment variable has a significant influence on employee performance. Based on the results of mediation testing, it shows that work engagement provides a partial mediation role in the relationship between work motivation and work environment on employee performance. It is hoped that the implications of the results of this research will be input for companies in efforts to improve the quality of employee performance.
