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.

Employee performance is a crucial element in achieving organizational goals and is influenced by various psychological and social factors. 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.
