Abstract
The present study aims to analyze the influence of Work-Life Balance and Transformational Leadership on Employee Performance with Job Satisfaction as a mediating variable. The population of this study consisted of 65 permanent employees in the Finance, Accounting, and Tax Divisions of PT XYZ. The saturation sampling method was employed, whereby the entire population was selected as research respondents. The present study employed a quantitative approach utilizing a survey method, with a questionnaire as the research instrument based on a five-point Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 4. The findings of the study demonstrate that Work-Life Balance has a positive and significant impact on Employee Performance and Job Satisfaction. Job Satisfaction also has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance. Conversely, Transformational Leadership has no significant impact on Employee Performance or Job Satisfaction. Furthermore, Job Satisfaction has been found to be unable to mediate the effect of Work-Life Balance on Employee Performance and the effect of Transformational Leadership on Employee Performance.
