proven by the results of R 0.728 and an R-Square value of 0.530 with a significance value
of 0.000. In addition, in the Journal of Business Research & Investment Vol. 3 No. 2,
August 2017 written by Lyta Lestary and Harmon where the research results show that
the influence of the Work Environment on Employee Performance in the Detail Part
Manufacturing Division of the Production Directorate of PT Dirgantara Indonesia
(Persero) is 19.2% (results R-Square 0.192) and there is a positive influence from the
work environment variable to the employee performance variable. And there is one more
study that explains the influence of the Work Environment on Performance in the
proceedings made by Denok Sunarsi, Hadion Wijoyo, Dodi Prasada, and Dede Andi in
the National Seminar on Management, Economics and Accounting Faculty of Economics
and Business UNP Kediri in 2020 explained that the R value of 0.789 and the value of R-
Square 0.622 or 62.2% of the work environment has a contribution effect on the
performance of employees of PT. Mentari Persada.
In addition to the work environment in the pre-survey above, there are other factors
that are considered to have the most influence on the performance of The Body Shop
Indonesia Distribution Center employees, namely motivation. Optimal: Journal of
Economics and Entrepreneurship Vol 13 No.1 2019 by Muhamad Ekhsan in his research
explained that the significance value of motivation and work discipline variables affected
55.7% of employee performance at PT Syncrum Logistics. Then there is also research
from Bagus Ikhsan Bagaskara and Edy Rahardja in the Diponegoro Journal of
Management Vol. 7 No. 2, 2018:1–11 in this study, work motivation has a positive effect
on employee performance. This is based on the results of the t-test calculation where the
tcount of 3.565 is greater than the ttable of 1.995. The significance level of the work
motivation variable is 0.001 where the significance level is lower than 0.05. It can be
concluded that work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee
performance. As well as in the research conducted by Bayu Dwilaksono Hanafi and
Corry Yohana in the Journal of Economic and Business Education (JPEB) Vol. 5 No.1
March 2017 at PT BNI Life Insurance explained that the results of the study stated that
the motivation variable on employee performance had a positive and significant effect
because it had a t-value of 2.97 > ttable 1.96.
The work environment factor accompanied by motivation as an intervening
variable has also been proven by many researchers, at least in the journal AGORA Vol. 5,
No. 3 2017 explained that the direct effect of the work environment on employee
performance is smaller than the indirect effect of the work environment on employee
performance through work motivation. Then in Isnan Arief Aryono's 2017 thesis entitled
"The Influence of Leadership and Work Environment on Employee Performance at PT.
KAI DAOP 6 Yogyakarta with Motivation as Intervening Variable” found evidence that
the work environment affects performance through motivation. The direct effect of the
work environment on performance is 0.190 while the indirect effect of the work
environment on performance through motivation as an intervening variable is 0.237. The
existence of motivation can increase the influence of the work environment on employee
performance. This is confirmed in the journal JBBE, Vol. 13, No. 01, February 2020
written by Andi Hasryningsih Asfar and Rita Anggraeni. In the journal it was concluded
that the work environment through motivation to performance has a greater tcount value
of 5.399 compared to the tcount value if the t value of the work environment on
performance directly is 4.146, then in previous research indeed the work environment
factor accompanied by motivation as an intervening variable has a strong theoretical
foundation.
The work environment in an organization, especially a company, has an urgency to
be considered, especially by management, a good work environment can have a direct
