Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the work environment and organizational culture on employee motivation at PT Bumi Mineral Sulawesi (BMS), a nickel-processing company located in Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. The study applies a quantitative approach using a survey method. Primary data are collected through questionnaires distributed to 95 respondents selected from a population of 1,800 employees using the Slovin formula. The data are analyzed using validity tests, reliability tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, and F-tests with SPSS software. The results show that the work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee motivation. Organizational culture also has a positive and significant effect on employee motivation. Furthermore, the work environment and organizational culture simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on employee motivation. This study provides empirical evidence regarding the determinants of employee motivation in the mineral-processing industry, which remains relatively underexplored in the literature. The findings imply that companies should establish a supportive work environment and strengthen organizational culture to improve employee motivation and organizational performance.
