Keywords:
Work Environment, Transformational Leadership, Employee PerformanceAbstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the work environment factors that affect employee performance at Zhanchen New Materials Group Co., Ltd. and to examine the impact of transformational leadership on employee performance in the same organization. The study population includes the employees of Zhanchen New Materials Group Co., Ltd. and a sample of 300 people selected by stratified random sampling on a probability basis. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire and data analysis used descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics through Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The research results show that both work environment and transformational leadership significantly influence employee performance, with a predictive power of 83.9%. Furthermore, transformational leadership was found to have a greater impact on employee performance than the work environment. Therefore, organizations can use this information to improve the work environment by focusing on providing modern equipment, managing physical workplace conditions, and designing optimal workplace layouts. In addition, transformational leadership emphasizes the importance of inspiring employees, encouraging critical thinking and involving them in decision-making processes. Encouraging leaders to be a positive influence can help develop employees' skills and improve the overall performance of the organization.
