Abstract:
This study intends to examine the effect of workload and remuneration on performance with job satisfaction as a mediating variable at the Meuraxa Hospital in the city of Banda Aceh. The population was nurses at Meuraxa Hospital, totaling 323 people. Sampling in this study was carried out using the Slovin formula so that a total sample of 179 nurses was obtained. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The results of the study prove that workload significantly affects nurse performance, remuneration significantly affects nurse performance, remuneration significantly affects nurse satisfaction, workload significantly affects nurse satisfaction, satisfaction significantly affects nurse performance, satisfaction mediates the effect of workload on nurse performance, and satisfaction mediates the effect of remuneration on Nurse performance. From these results, it is also explained that satisfaction in the model functions as a partial mediator. So these results summarize academically that the model for improving the performance of nurses is a function of workload and remuneration and satisfaction, whereby increasing the adjustment of workload and remuneration will create an increase in the satisfaction of nurses, which in turn will have an impact on increasing their performance. Academically this model contributes to science and serves as a new premise so that further researchers can develop this tested model by adding variables such as nurse leadership and also nursing culture in the hospital.
