Abstract:

The quality of a company's human resources can be assessed through employee performance, which is a key factor in achieving organizational objectives. One of the main influences on employee performance is organizational culture. This study aims to investigate the impact of organisational culture on employee performance, with employee engagement serving as an intervening variable. The research was conducted at PT Pos Indonesia Regional VI, utilizing a census method to collect data from 71 respondents. Data analysis was performed using multiple regression through SPSS version 23. The results indicate that organizational culture has a positive and significant effect on employee engagement, which in turn positively and significantly impacts employee performance. These findings highlight the critical role of organizational culture in fostering employee engagement and in enhancing overall employee performance. By enhancing their organisational culture, companies can foster greater employee engagement, which ultimately drives performance and contributes to achieving their organisational goals. This research underscores the importance of cultivating a supportive organizational culture to boost positive employee behavior.
