Advancements in information technology encourage MSMEs to utilize information systems to enhance the effectiveness of their business management. Es Teh Arjuna, an MSME in Tegal City, faces challenges in monitoring partner sales and managing revenue because transactions are recorded manually using disparate methods; this results in slow data recapitulation, a risk of recording errors, and difficulty for the business owner in quickly accessing sales information. This study aims to analyze requirements, design, develop, and test a web-based information system for partner sales and revenue that provides information in  real-time. The Waterfall model was used for system development, while data collection involved observation, interviews, and a literature review. The system was developed using PHP and MySQL and tested via Black Box Testing. The results demonstrate that the system successfully integrates sales data from all outlets into a centralized database, streamlining the management of products, outlets, employees, cashiers, and sales transactions, as well as facilitating the generation of revenue reports for specific periods. Furthermore, the system enables the business owner to monitor sales performance more quickly, accurately, and systematically, thereby supporting decision-making and improving the operational efficiency of Es Teh Arjuna.

Employee performance is a critical element in organizational success, particularly in labor-intensive industries such as garment manufacturing. This study aims to analyze the effect of work stress (X1) and work environment (X2) on employee performance (Y) in garment industry companies in Semarang Regency. A quantitative descriptive approach with multiple linear regression analysis was employed. The population and sample comprised 96 employees using total sampling. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) with 10 items per variable. All classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity) were satisfied. Reliability tests yielded Cronbach's Alpha of 0.866 (work stress), 0.941 (work environment), and 0.937 (employee performance), confirming instrument reliability. Results indicate: (1) work stress has no significant partial effect on employee performance (t = 1.581; sig. = 0.117); (2) work environment has a significant positive partial effect on employee performance (t = 9.618; sig. = 0.000); (3) simultaneously, both variables significantly affect employee performance (F = 56.630; sig. = 0.000) with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 54.9%. These findings confirm that optimizing the work environment both physical and non-physical is the primary strategic priority for enhancing employee performance in the garment industry.

This study aims to determine and analyze the impact of the work environment on employee job satisfaction at the Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) of Jambi Province.

This study used a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The population consisted of 75 employees, all of whom were used as the sample through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed with validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and simple linear regression using SPSS. The results show that the work environment has a significant impact on employee job satisfaction, evidenced by a significance value smaller than 0.05, with a coefficient of determination of 61.8 percent. This indicates that the better the work environment, both physical and non-physical, the higher the employee job satisfaction. This research is expected to serve as a consideration for the agency in improving the quality of the work environment to support employee job satisfaction and performance.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work motivation and supervision on employee performance through job satisfaction at the Population Control and Family Planning Office (DPPKB) of East Kutai Regency. A quantitative approach was employed using census sampling technique involving 84 employees. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS software. The results reveal that: (1) work motivation positively and significantly affects job satisfaction (β = 0.263, p = 0.039); (2) supervision has a stronger positive effect on job satisfaction (β = 0.409, p = 0.000); (3) work motivation does not directly affect employee performance (β = 0.136, p = 0.248); (4) supervision does not directly affect employee performance (β = 0.140, p = 0.186); (5) job satisfaction is the strongest predictor of employee performance (β = 0.565, p = 0.000); (6) job satisfaction does not significantly mediate the work motivation–performance relationship (β = 0.149, p = 0.056); and (7) job satisfaction fully mediates the supervision–performance relationship (β = 0.231, p = 0.001). These findings suggest that improving public-sector employee performance requires a humanistic supervisory approach centered on employee psychological well-being.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work motivation, transformational leadership style, and career development on employee performance through job satisfaction at the Dinas PUPR Kabupaten Kutai Timur. This research uses quantitative explanatory method with SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares) analysis. The population consists of 120 employees with a sample of 93 respondents determined using the Slovin formula with 5% margin of error and simple random sampling technique.

This study examines the effect of workload and work-life balance on employee performance through job satisfaction among working master’s students in Jakarta. This population faces dual demands from professional and academic responsibilities, making the maintenance of job satisfaction and performance increasingly challenging. Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model and Social Exchange Theory, this study investigates how job demands and resources influence employee outcomes. A quantitative causal approach was employed using data from 57 working master’s students collected through convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The results show that workload negatively and significantly affects job satisfaction but has no significant direct effect on employee performance. In contrast, work-life balance positively and significantly affects both job satisfaction and employee performance. Job satisfaction positively affects employee performance and fully mediates the relationship between workload and employee performance, while partially mediating the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance. These findings support the JD-R Model and Social Exchange Theory by highlighting the role of job satisfaction as a mechanism linking work conditions and employee performance. Practically, organizations and higher education institutions should support work-life balance and manage workload effectively to enhance satisfaction and performance among working postgraduate students.
