This study aims to analyze the differences between Chinese and Indonesian work cultures and their influence on employee performance at PT Imasco Tambang Raya. The research employed a quantitative approach using a comparative-associative design. The population consisted of all 54 employees of PT Imasco Tambang Raya, and a census sampling technique was applied, allowing the entire population to be included as research respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that Chinese work culture emphasizes discipline, hierarchy, and result orientation, while Indonesian work culture highlights cooperation, harmony, and a sense of family. Indonesian work culture has a more dominant influence on employee performance because its values are more compatible with the characteristics of the local workforce. Therefore, multinational companies are encouraged to integrate the strengths of both work cultures by combining the discipline and result orientation of Chinese work culture with the collaborative and harmonious values of Indonesian work culture to improve employee performance and organizational effectiveness.
