Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of work environment and work discipline on employee performance, as well as the role of work motivation as an intervening variable in the Binjai City Sub-district Office. The research method used is quantitative with the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling approach with the help of SmartPLS software version 3.2.8. The number of samples was 86 respondents who were selected using purposive sampling using the slovin formula. The results of the study show that the work environment and work discipline have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, the work environment and work discipline have a positive and significant effect on work motivation, and it is found that work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The results of the study also showed that work motivation positively and significantly mediated the relationship between the work environment and employee performance, as well as between work discipline and employee performance. This shows that the improvement of employee performance is not only directly influenced by work environment and discipline factors, but also through increased work motivation.
