Abstract
This study investigates the impact of work culture, rewards, technological adaptation, and career development on employe performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The research focuses on employes at the Secretariat General of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. Employe performance in public sector organizations is a strategic concern because it directly affects bureaucratic effectiveness, the quality of public services, and the accomplishment of national development goals. Questionnaires are the main tool used in this quantitative study. Purposive sampling was used to pick a sample of 150 respondents from the population, which is made up of workers at the Secretariat General, Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. SmartPLS was used for data analysis to look at mediation effects, measurement models, and structural models. Work culture and career development have no discernible impact on employe performance, but technology adaptation has a positive effect, while rewards have a negative effect, according to the research findings based on the analysis of the gathered data. Technology adaption has a favorable impact on job satisfaction, career advancement has a negative impact, and work culture and rewards have no discernible effect. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that the relationship between these organizational characteristics and employe performance is considerably mediated by job satisfaction. These results highlight the importance of enhancing digital adaption and putting in place a fair reward structure in order to improve employe performance.
