Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of organizational culture and work ethic on employee performance with job satisfaction as a mediating variable in production employees of PT Royal Korindah Purbalingga. This study uses a quantitative approach with simple random sampling technique. The population was 474 employees and a sample of 100 people was obtained based on the Slovin formula with a margin of error of 10%. The results showed that organizational culture and work ethic had a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. Work ethic also has a direct effect on employee performance, while organizational culture has no direct effect. Job satisfaction has a significant effect on performance and mediates the relationship between organizational culture and work ethic on employee performance, indicating the important role of job satisfaction in improving performance.
