Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the work environment, work discipline, and
organizational commitment on employee performance, as well as the role of
commitment as a mediating variable at the Malang Regency Education Office. This
study uses a quantitative approach with a census method, involving the entire
population of 55 employees as respondents. The data analysis technique uses Partial
Least Square (PLS) with the help of SmartPLS 3.0 software.
The results of the study indicate that the work environment, work discipline, and
organizational commitment each have a positive and significant influence on employee
performance. Furthermore, organizational commitment has been shown to mediate the
relationship between the work environment and performance, as well as between work
discipline and performance. These findings indicate that improving the work
environment and work discipline will be more effective in boosting employee
performance when accompanied by increased organizational commitment. Therefore,
management needs to strengthen the work environment, work discipline, and
commitment to achieve optimal organizational performance.
