Analysis of work life balance, job satisfaction and its effect on the performance of employees of the General Bureau of the Regional Secretariat of the Riau Islands Province

Purpose: This study analyzes the influence of work-life balance, work environment, and workload on performance through job satisfaction as a mediating variable on employees of the General Bureau of the Regional Secretariat of the Riau Islands Province. Results: Using primary data from 120 employees, this study found that work-life balance and workload have a significant influence on performance through the results of the path coefficient, meaning that the job satisfaction variable can mediate the influence of endogenous variables of work-life balance and workload on the performance variable. This can be explained by the fact that with the mediation of job satisfaction, when there is an increase in work-life balance and workload, employee performance will increase. The Work Environment does not have a significant influence on performance based on the results of the path coefficient, meaning that the job satisfaction variable cannot mediate the influence of the work environment variable on the performance variable. This can be explained by the fact that with the mediation of job satisfaction, when there is an increase in the work environment, it will not have an impact on increasing employee performance.
