Keywords:
Distributive justice; organizational commitment; job satisfaction; employee performance; PLS-SEMAbstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of distributive justice and organizational commitment on employee performance with job satisfaction as a mediating variable at the Department of Public Works and Spatial Planning of East Kutai Regency. A quantitative explanatory approach was applied using a census method involving 141 employees as respondents. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 4 software. The results show that distributive justice and organizational commitment each significantly affect employee job satisfaction. However, distributive justice, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction were not proven to directly affect employee performance, and job satisfaction did not significantly mediate the relationships at the 95 percent confidence level. These findings suggest that employee performance in government institutions is also shaped by structural and institutional factors beyond the scope of this model.
