The results of the study indicate that work quality has a positive and significant effect on employee performance both directly and through job satisfaction. The work environment also has a positive but insignificant effect on employee performance, but through job satisfaction it has a positive and significant effect. In addition, job satisfaction has been shown to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance.
