This study aims to analyze the effect of work motivation and performance allowances on employee performance with job satisfaction as an intervening variable at the Simomulyo and Tanjungsari Community Health Centers in Surabaya. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method using questionnaires administered to 126 respondents. Data analysis techniques use Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through the SmartPLS 4.1.1.4 application. The results of the study indicate that work motivation and performance-based allowances have a direct and significant influence on job satisfaction and employee performance. Additionally, job satisfaction is proven to act as a mediating variable in the relationship between motivation and allowances on employee performance. This study recommends the importance of strategies to enhance motivation and a fair benefits system, as well as strengthening job satisfaction, in efforts to improve employee performance.
