Abstract:
This research aims to examine the influence of organizational change and transformational leadership on employee performance at Syiah Kuala University (USK), with organizational culture and job satisfaction serving as intervening variables. The study's population consisted of nonlecturer staff holding State Civil Apparatus (ASN) status at USK, totaling 578 individuals. A census technique was employed for sampling, utilizing the entire population as the sample. For data analysis, the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was applied to test direct effect hypotheses, while the Sobel calculator was used for testing indirect effect hypotheses. The results indicated that both organizational change and transformational leadership have a significant impact on organizational culture, job satisfaction, and employee performance. Additionally, organizational culture and job satisfaction significantly influence employee performance. Furthermore, organizational culture and job satisfaction serve as partial mediators between the effects of organizational change and transformational leadership on employee performance. These findings demonstrate that enhanced employee performance can arise from effective organizational changes and strong transformational leadership, combined with a supportive organizational culture and high levels of job satisfaction. Overall, this research deepens our understanding of the factors contributing to improved employee performance.
