This study aims to analyze the effect of transformational leadership, compensation, and workload on employee performance with organizational climate as a mediating variable at BCA Finance Samarinda. A quantitative approach with Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis technique was used, involving 40 employees as respondents. The results revealed that compensation has a positive and significant effect on organizational climate, while transformational leadership and workload have no significant impact. Furthermore, organizational climate is the only variable that significantly affects employee performance. This indicates that a positive and supportive work environment is essential in improving employee productivity. The managerial implication of this research is that strengthening organizational climate should be a top priority in performance improvement efforts rather than focusing solely on leadership style or workload distribution.
