Mohamad Ilham Saputra — 2026-03-31

This study examines the effects of compensation and work motivation on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable, in Kedai Minumku MSME in Semarang City. A quantitative causal approach was applied using a census sampling technique involving 102 employees. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that compensation and work motivation have positive and significant effects on job satisfaction and employee performance. Work motivation has a stronger influence on job satisfaction, indicating that intrinsic factors play a more dominant role in shaping employee attitudes. In addition, job satisfaction significantly affects employee performance and partially mediates the relationships between compensation and performance, as well as motivation and performance. These findings suggest that improving employee performance in MSMEs requires a balanced approach between financial compensation and motivational strategies. While compensation ensures fairness and stability, motivation and job satisfaction contribute more strongly to employee engagement and productivity. Therefore, MSME owners are encouraged to create a supportive work environment while maintaining fair compensation systems to achieve optimal performance.

The study sample used a purposive sampling method of 38 respondents [R1.1] who were divided into an intervention group (19 respondents) and a control group (19 respondents). The instrument used was the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES). Data analysis was carried out using univariate and bivariate statistical tests according to data distribution with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Based on the results, there was a significant difference in self-efficacy between the intervention and control groups, with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). This confirms that the local cultural dietary management education video is more effective in improving self-efficacy than without intervention.
