The sampling method applied was saturated sampling, meaning the entire population of 91 individuals was included as the sample. Data analysis was carried out using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method.The findings reveal that both the non-physical work environment and extrinsic motivation significantly and positively affect employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction also exerts a positive and significant influence on performance. The study additionally demonstrates that job satisfaction and work attendance function as mediators in the relationship between the independent variables and performance. Among the variables, work attendance emerged as the most influential factor on performance, whereas job satisfaction was identified as the key factor affecting staff attendance.
