Bestindo. This research adopts a quantitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. The study population comprises all 255 permanent field employees across three branches of PT. Bestindo. The sampling technique employed non-probability sampling via purposive sampling, and the sample size was calculated using Yamane's formula, resulting in 156 respondents. Data were collected using online questionnaires measured on a Likert scale. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS version 4.1.1.6. The findings demonstrate that: (1) Transformational Leadership Style has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance. (2) Work Environment has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance. (3) Work Discipline has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance. (4) Transformational Leadership Style has a positive and significant effect on Work Motivation. (5) Work Environment has a positive and significant effect on Work Motivation. (6) Work Discipline has a positive and significant effect on Work Motivation. (7) Work Motivation has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance. (8) Work Motivation significantly mediates the effect of Transformational Leadership Style on Employee Performance. (9) Work Motivation significantly mediates the effect of Work Environment on Employee Performance. (10) Work Motivation significantly mediates the effect of Work Discipline on Employee Performance. The practical implications emphasize the necessity of strengthening exemplary leadership, enhancing workplace atmosphere and physical facilities, enforcing time and attendance discipline, and fulfilling employees' recognition and physical well-being needs to boost intrinsic motivation and maximize employee performance.
