Abstract

This study examines the effects of compensation and work motivation on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable, in Kedai Minumku MSME in Semarang City. A quantitative causal approach was applied using a census sampling technique involving 102 employees. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that compensation and work motivation have positive and significant effects on job satisfaction and employee performance. Work motivation has a stronger influence on job satisfaction, indicating that intrinsic factors play a more dominant role in shaping employee attitudes. In addition, job satisfaction significantly affects employee performance and partially mediates the relationships between compensation and performance, as well as motivation and performance. These findings suggest that improving employee performance in MSMEs requires a balanced approach between financial compensation and motivational strategies. While compensation ensures fairness and stability, motivation and job satisfaction contribute more strongly to employee engagement and productivity. Therefore, MSME owners are encouraged to create a supportive work environment while maintaining fair compensation systems to achieve optimal performance.

The data were then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to determine direct and indirect relationships among the variables.Results: showed that influencer marketing and viral marketing had a positive and significant impact on e-WOM, indicating that credible influencers and viral beauty content effectively stimulate online consumer conversations. Furthermore, both influencer marketing and viral marketing were found to directly influence purchasing decisions. Furthermore, electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) has been shown to mediate the relationship between the implementation of marketing strategy and consumer purchase behavior.
