Employee Satisfaction and Performance: Empirical Evidence of the Influence of Competence, Green Leadership and Organizational Climate at the Kotawaringin Barat Health Center
Keywords:
Competence; Green Leadership; Organizational Climate; Job SatisfactionAbstract
This study examines the influence of competence, green leadership, and organizational climate on employee satisfaction and performance within public health centers (Puskesmas) in Kotawaringin Barat, Indonesia. Grounded in organizational behavior theory and empirical findings in the context of public healthcare services, this study proposes a conceptual model that positions job satisfaction as a mediating variable between organizational factors and individual performance. The research employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory design, involving 150 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results indicate that all three exogenous variables have a significant influence on job satisfaction, which in turn positively affects employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction significantly mediates the relationship between competence, green leadership, and organizational climate with performance. These findings provide theoretical contributions by integrating green leadership into public health service management and offer managerial implications relevant to policy reforms in human resource development within primary healthcare institutions.
