Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a crucial role in ensuring that a company is able to grow, compete, and sustain its operations in an increasingly dynamic business environment. Effective HRM practices help organizations optimize employee performance, improve productivity, and maintain workforce stability. One of the key aspects of HRM that significantly influences employee performance is workload and job satisfaction. An imbalance in workload or low levels of job satisfaction may lead to decreased motivation, stress, and reduced work performance. This research aims to explore and evaluate the levels of workload and job satisfaction among employees at PT Indomarco Tangerang 1. Understanding these factors is essential to identify potential problems that may affect employee performance and organizational effectiveness. The study employs a quantitative research approach, which involves collecting numerical data that can be statistically analyzed to provide objective and measurable results. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires distributed to employees. A total of 30 employees from various divisions at PT Indomarco Tangerang 1 participated in this study. Statistical analysis was used to assess the relationship between workload and job satisfaction, as well as their overall condition within the company. The findings of this research are expected to provide useful insights for management in developing appropriate strategies to manage workload effectively and enhance job satisfaction. Ultimately, improving these aspects is expected to contribute to higher employee performance and support the long-term success of the company.

This study aims to determine the influence of work discipline (variable X1) and work culture (variable X2) on employee performance (variable Y). The research method used is a descriptive and verifiable method with a quantitative approach. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, documentation, and literature studies to obtain comprehensive and relevant data for the purpose of the research. Data analysis techniques are carried out systematically, starting from the data compilation process, data tabulation, to the hypothesis testing stage. Data analysis uses multiple linear regression to determine the influence of each independent variable on the dependent variable. The results showed that the determination coefficient (R²) value was 69.8%, which means that work discipline and work culture simultaneously have a significant effect on employee performance. Meanwhile, 30.2% of employee performance was influenced by other factors outside of the study, such as motivation, work ability, leadership, personality, job satisfaction, work environment, and employee loyalty.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work discipline, job satisfaction, and motivation on the performance of billman employees at PT. PLN Electricity Services ULP Kediri City. Employee performance plays a strategic role in ensuring the company’s service quality and operational sustainability, particularly in the field of billing services which directly impacts customer satisfaction and company revenue. The research employs a quantitative approach with a multiple linear regression method to assess both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables. The population of this study consisted of all 33 billman employees of PT. PLN Electricity Services ULP Kediri City, and due to the small size, a saturated sampling technique was used so that the entire population served as respondents. Primary data were collected through questionnaires distributed to all employees and then analyzed statistically. The findings indicate that, partially, work discipline has a negative and insignificant effect on employee performance, suggesting that discipline alone does not guarantee productivity improvement. On the other hand, job satisfaction and motivation both have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, showing that intrinsic and psychological factors contribute more strongly to optimal work outcomes. Furthermore, when tested simultaneously, work discipline, job satisfaction, and motivation collectively exert a positive and significant influence on employee performance. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.786 indicates that 78.6% of variations in performance can be explained by the three variables, while the remaining 21.4% is influenced by other factors outside this research model. These findings emphasize the importance of fostering job satisfaction and motivation through supportive management policies to enhance employee contributions and organizational effectiveness.

This study aims to analyze the influence of working capital management, leverage, and institutional ownership on the profitability of consumer goods companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period, while also examining company size as a moderating variable. The consumer goods sector, which has a large market potential in Indonesia, makes it essential to understand how these financial aspects affect company performance. Working capital management plays a crucial role in maintaining liquidity and operational efficiency, leverage determines the extent to which companies rely on debt financing, and institutional ownership reflects external monitoring that can drive managerial discipline. Company size is considered a moderating factor that could strengthen or weaken these relationships, especially in influencing profitability levels. Using a quantitative approach, the research findings reveal that each of the main variables—working capital management, leverage, and institutional ownership—partially and significantly affects profitability. More specifically, company size is found to moderate the effect of leverage on profitability, indicating that larger firms may be better positioned to optimize debt usage compared to smaller firms. This study not only provides empirical evidence regarding financial determinants of profitability but also enriches the discussion on how moderating factors such as firm size can influence the dynamics of corporate financial performance. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for stakeholders, including managers seeking to optimize financial policies, investors evaluating company performance, and academics or researchers interested in exploring further implications for corporate governance and financial strategy in emerging markets like Indonesia. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of managing financial variables strategically to sustain profitability in the highly competitive consumer goods industry.
