Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of work environment and compensation on employee performance through job stress as a mediating variable at PT Trans Energy Tanadoang. This study employed a quantitative approach using an explanatory research method with a total sampling technique involving 50 respondents.

The results indicate that: (1) work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance; (2) compensation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance; (3) work environment has a negative and significant effect on job stress; (4) compensation has a negative and significant effect on job stress; (5) job stress has a negative and significant effect on employee performance; (6) job stress mediates the effect of work environment on employee performance; and (7) job stress mediates the effect of compensation on employee performance.
