Influence of Organizational Culture and Transformational Leadership on Employee Performance through Job Satisfaction as an Intervening

Abstract

his study examines the influence of organizational culture and transformational leadership on employee
performance, with job satisfaction as an intervening variable, at Dinas Sumber Daya Air dan Bina Marga
Surabaya. The research focuses on 176 permanent employees using saturated sampling, where the
entire population is included. Data were collected through direct questionnaires, allowing respondents to
provide feedback, and were analyzed using path analysis with multiple linear regression in SPSS version
17.0. The results indicate that both organizational culture and transformational leadership positively
impact job satisfaction and employee performance. However, job satisfaction mediates the effect of
transformational leadership on performance but not the effect of organizational culture. The study
highlights the importance of fostering a dynamic learning culture to improve job satisfaction and
performance. It suggests the Surabaya City Government continue focusing on these factors to enhance
overall organizational outcomes.
