ABSTRACT
This report examines the effect of work discipline and compensation on employee
performance. Work discipline refers to the rules and regulations that employees are
expected to follow in the workplace, while compensation refers to the financial
rewards that employees receive for their work. The report finds that a combination of
strong work discipline and fair compensation can have a positive impact on
employee performance. However, other factors such as job satisfaction, work-life
balance, and employee engagement also play a role in employee performance.
INTRODUCTION
Employee performance is a critical aspect of any organization and has a direct
impact on the overall success of the company. It is essential for businesses to
understand the various factors that can influence employee performance, including
work discipline and compensation. Work discipline refers to the rules and
regulations that employees are expected to follow in the workplace, such as
punctuality, attendance, and adherence to company policies. Compensation, on the
other hand, refers to the financial rewards that employees receive for their work,
such as salary and benefits. In this report, we will delve deeper into the effect of
work discipline and compensation on employee performance, and how
organizations can effectively manage these factors to improve employee
performance.
In this report, we will examine the relationship between work discipline and
employee performance, exploring the positive and negative effects of work discipline
on employee performance. We will also examine the relationship between
compensation and employee performance, exploring how fair compensation can
improve employee performance, and how inadequate compensation can negatively
impact employee performance. The report will conclude by providing

recommendations for organizations on how to effectively manage work discipline
and compensation to improve employee performance.
WORK DISCIPLINE
Work discipline refers to the set of rules, regulations and standards that employees
are expected to follow in the workplace. It encompasses a wide range of behaviors,
including punctuality, attendance, adherence to company policies, and overall
conduct. Maintaining a strong work discipline is essential for creating a productive
and organized work environment. It helps to ensure that employees are engaged in
their work, and that they are meeting the expectations of their employer.
Overall conduct is also an important aspect of work discipline. This includes treating
colleagues and customers with respect, maintaining a positive attitude and avoiding
any behavior that could be considered unprofessional. By maintaining a professional
conduct, employees are more likely to be productive and engaged in their work.
They are also less likely to fall behind on their tasks or disrupt the work of their
colleagues.

organizations to balance the need for discipline and maintain a positive work
environment to keep employees motivated and engaged.
COMPENSATION
Compensation refers to the financial rewards that employees receive for their work,
including salary and benefits. It is an important aspect of employee performance, as
it can greatly influence job satisfaction, motivation, and overall engagement in the
workplace.
Benefits are another important form of compensation. These can include health
insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. These benefits can greatly improve
job satisfaction and motivation among employees, as they provide a sense of
security and well-being. They also help to attract and retain top talent in the
organization.
EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE

Employee performance refers to the level of productivity, efficiency, and
effectiveness of an employee in the workplace. It is a measure of how well an
employee is able to meet the expectations and requirements of their job. Employee
performance can be influenced by a variety of factors, including work discipline,
compensation, training, and job satisfaction.
However, when employees lack discipline, they are more likely to be absent, late,
and not adhere to company policies. This can lead to decreased productivity, lower
quality work, and poor customer service. It can also lead to a negative work
environment, as employees may feel disrespected and undervalued.
A study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that employees who
feel that they are being fairly compensated are more likely to be satisfied with their

jobs and motivated to perform well. The study also found that employees who feel
that they are being underpaid are more likely to be disengaged and demotivated.
Research conducted by (Aktar, 2012) (Yuliana, 2017), (Fitriani, 2018) (Rifa, 2019),
(Tanjuang, 2019) (Pangastuni, 2020) The same thing was also found by (Efendi,
2020) that compensation had a positive and significant effect on employee
performance.

METHODOLOGY
This research uses ex-post facto research with a quantitative approach. Ex-post facto is research
conducted to examine an event that has occurred and then trace back to find out the factors that caused the
occurrence (Sugiuono, 2015), a quantitative approach is data in the form of numbers or qualitative data that is framed.
Multiple regression method of data analysis has been used in this research. The population were 40 employees, the
sampling technique uses total sampling technique where the entire population under 100 respondents is used as the
entire research sample.
FINDINGS
The analysis in this research is to use descriptive statistics and multiple regression. The result of data analysis in this
research are as follows:

R Square Determination Coefficient (R2)
The results of this research indicate that there is a positive and significant effect
between work discipline and compensation on employee performance. This is
indicated by the results of the test results with the F test that obtained the calculated
F value of 9,701 with a significance value of F of 0,000 or F <0.05. R Square
determination coefficient is used to show how much percentage of work discipline
and compensation variables together in influencing employee performance
variables.
The results of multiple regression analysis show that the coefficient of determination
R2 has a value of 0.344 or it can be said that 34.4% of work discipline and
compensation affect employee performance. While the remaining 65.6% is
influenced by variables outside this research. With this result we can know that work
discipline and compensation play an important role in employee performance, this
should be a reference by the company to improve the performance of its employees
to create a superior product to attract the community. The general public is
interested in products that have good quality and people tend to have impulsive
buying properties for the goods they like (Efendi I. S., 2019) With the increasing
purchasing power of the community in the company's products, the company will
receive a lot of income so that it can provide good and proper compensation to each
of its employees. Based on that, each company can reduce social inequality or
poverty and increase economic growth in a country. (Efendi, Indartono, and Sukidjo,
2019).
CONCLSION.
In conclusion, work discipline and compensation are two important factors that can
have a significant impact on employee performance. A strong sense of work
discipline can lead to increased productivity, higher quality work, and improved
customer service. Adequate and fair compensation can lead to improved job
satisfaction, increased productivity, and better retention rates.

Organizations should strive to create a culture of discipline, clearly communicate
their expectations to employees and ensure that their compensation packages are
competitive and fair. By doing so, organizations can attract and retain top talent,
improve employee performance, and ultimately achieve better results.
It's important to keep in mind that there are other factors that also have an impact on
employee performance, such as employee engagement, work-life balance, and work
culture. Therefore, organizations should consider a holistic approach and not only
focus on work discipline and compensation to improve employee performance.
