Abstract

This study examined the effects of work environment and work discipline on the performance of village apparatus, with work motivation as a mediating variable in Maron District, Probolinggo Regency. The study used an explanatory quantitative design. Primary data were collected through a five-point Likert questionnaire from 133 village apparatus selected from a population of 234 officials. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The measurement model showed that all indicators met convergent and discriminant validity requirements and that the constructs were reliable. The structural model showed that work environment significantly affected work motivation (β=0.766; p=0.001), work discipline significantly affected work motivation (β=0.871; p=0.001), and work motivation significantly affected village apparatus performance (β=0.888; p=0.001). Work environment and work discipline also had significant direct effects on performance (β=0.654 and β=0.677; p<0.001). The indirect effects through motivation were significant for work environment (β=0.680; p=0.001) and work discipline (β=0.773; p=0.014). The findings indicated that motivation functioned as a mediating mechanism linking the work environment and discipline with village apparatus performance
