This study uses a quantitative research method. Data analysis uses path analysis. The results of the study show that the organizational climate, transformational leadership, and need for achievement have a direct positive and significant influence on employee performance and job satisfaction. In addition, job satisfaction has also been proven to have a positive effect on employee performance. This study also reveals that job satisfaction plays a significant mediator in the relationship between organizational climate, transformational leadership, and the need for achievement on employee performance, both directly and indirectly. Thus, strengthening these three factors and increasing overall job satisfaction can effectively encourage employee performance improvement.
