Abstract:
This study examines the leadership style and works environment effects on job satisfaction and their impact on employee/ASN (civil servant) performance in the Aceh Selatan District Work Unit (SKPK). The population was all ASN in the SKPK Aceh Selatan environment, totaling 137 people. The sampling method used was the census method. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to all research samples. The model was processed through SEM-AMOS. The results reveal that in SKPK Aceh Selatan, Leadership directly affects Satisfaction, Environment directly affects Satisfaction, Leadership does not directly affect ASN Performance, Environment does not directly affect ASN Performance, Satisfaction directly affects ASN Performance, Satisfaction fully mediates the Leadership effect on ASN performance, and Satisfaction fully mediates the environment effect on ASN performance. These results also illustrate that leadership must go through satisfaction first to stimulate performance improvement, as well as the environment that must explain employee satisfaction first and then can play a role in improving its ASN performance. This means that the function of improving the ASN performance of the SKPK in Aceh Selatan District is a function of the adjustment of Leadership and Environment to play a role in increasing satisfaction.
