This study aims to examine the effect of coworker relationship quality on life satisfaction among  employees of Statistics Indonesia (BPS), with mental health as a mediating variable. Data were  collected from a survey of 7,742 employees and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)  with a two-step approach (Confirmatory Factor Analysis followed by full structural model estimation).  The results show that coworker relationship quality has a positive and significant effect on life  satisfaction, both directly and indirectly through mental health. Mental health is found to be a strong  mediator in this relationship. These findings highlight the importance of social support in the workplace  as a key factor in enhancing employee well-being, particularly in work contexts that are intensive and  prone to psychological strain.
