<![CDATA[This research highlights the critical need to address factors influencing employee performance in government institutions, focusing on the Regional Development Planning Agency of East Java. It aims to analyze the effects of job stress and workplace environment on employee performance, with work-life balance serving as a mediating variable. Employing a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected via questionnaires from 110 civil servants selected through purposive sampling from a population of 285 employees. Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was used to analyze the data. The results reveal that job stress significantly affects employee performance, whereas workplace environment shows no direct effect on performance. Additionally, work-life balance positively influences employee performance and mediates the relationships between job stress, workplace environment, and performance. These findings suggest that managing job stress and fostering work-life balance are critical strategies for enhancing employee performance. The implications highlight the importance of developing stress management programs and promoting a supportive workplace environment to ensure optimal work-life balance and performance outcomes.]]>
