Employee performance is a crucial factor in determining the success of an organization. Optimal performance contributes to increased productivity, efficiency, and the company’s competitiveness.

Job satisfaction fosters comfort, loyalty, and motivation at work, while work-family balance helps employees maintain harmony between professional responsibilities and personal life, contributing to emotional stability and productivity. This research uses a quantitative approach with survey methods and regression analysis to examine the relationship between variables. The results show that job satisfaction and work-family balance have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. These findings highlight the importance of organizational attention to employee well-being and personal life as part of efforts to enhance overall performance.
