Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of organizational restructuring and work motivation on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable at PT PLN NP UP Bakaru. The organizational changes that occur require employees to adapt to new work systems, making it important to understand the factors that influence performance in such situations. This study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory research method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to all employees affected by the organizational restructuring. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares to test the direct and indirect relationships between the research variables. The results indicate that organizational restructuring has not had a strong impact on employee job satisfaction or performance. In contrast, work motivation has been shown to play a more consistent role in improving employee job satisfaction and performance. In this study, job satisfaction was not found to be a significant mediating variable in the relationship between these variables. This finding indicates that in situations of organizational change, work motivation is a more crucial factor than structural change alone. Therefore, companies need to place greater emphasis on strategies to increase employee motivation to maintain stability and improve performance.
