Factors That Affect Employee Performance

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the influence of the work environment and human relations on employee performance. The research adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing a sample population of 44 respondents. To collect data, the researchers distributed questionnaires among the participants. The data analysis technique employed in this study is Partial Least Square (PLS) using the SmartPLS software. The analysis conducted by the researchers revealed several significant findings. The results indicate that human relations (X1) have a positive and significant effect on employee performance (Y). This suggests that the quality of interpersonal relationships among employees significantly enhances their performance. Conversely, the work environment (X2) was found to have a negative and insignificant effect on employee performance (Y). This implies that the physical and organizational aspects of the work environment do not play a substantial role in influencing employee performance. These findings underscore the importance of fostering strong human relations within the workplace to boost employee performance, while improvements in the work environment alone may not yield significant performance gains. The insights from this study could inform organizational strategies aimed at enhancing employee performance through better human relations practices.
