Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the work environment and communication on the performance of sub-district office employees in West Baturaja Sub-district, Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Regency. The study was motivated by the ongoing issues regarding employee performance, which are influenced by suboptimal work conditions and ineffective organizational communication. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a descriptive-causal research design. The study population consists of all employees of the Baturaja Barat Subdistrict Office, with total sampling used as the sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through the distribution of questionnaires using a Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The results indicate that, individually, the work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance with a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05, while communication also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance with a significance value of 0.012 < 0.05. Simultaneously, the work environment and communication have a significant effect on employee performance with an F-test significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.346 indicates that 34.6% of the variation in employee performance can be explained by the work environment and communication, while the remainder is influenced by other factors outside the scope of this study.
