effect of work motivation and leadership style on employee performance through job satisfaction as an intervening variable in the financial management of the Palembang KPPN

This study aims to determine how work motivation and leadership style affect employee performance with job satisfaction as an intervening variable in the financial management of the Palembang KPPN. There were 165 respondents who completed the questionnaire at the Palembang KPPN. The analysis technique used was Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) analysis. The results of this study indicate that work motivation and leadership style have a positive and significant influence on employee performance, and job satisfaction mediates the influence of work motivation and leadership style on employee performance in a significant manner. This study is expected to serve as a reference for future research regarding the use of variables in similar studies. The implications of this study are to provide input to financial managers at the KPPN Palembang unit to enhance employee motivation and leadership style, thereby improving employee performance through job satisfaction.
