This study aims to analyze the effect of work discipline and compensation on employee performance with job satisfaction as a mediating variable at PT. Sinergi Pilar Persada. The background of this study is based on the company's performance targets not being achieved during the 2023–2025 period, so a study is needed on the factors that influence employee performance. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The study population was 150 employees of PT.

Data collection was carried out through distributing questionnaires, while data analysis used AMOS-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results of the study indicate that work discipline has a positive and significant effect on employee job satisfaction and performance. Compensation also has a positive and significant effect on employee job satisfaction and performance. Job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on employee performance and is able to mediate the effect of work discipline and compensation on employee performance.
