ABSTRACT: This study examines the influence of job characteristics and discipline on employee performance, with organizational culture as a moderating variable. Employee performance is a fundamental factor in achieving organizational effectiveness, therefore, understanding its key determinants is crucial. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method of employees in a public sector organization. The study population was 99 employees of the Land Office in Jembrana Regency, Bali, Indonesia. Given the population size of less than 100 people, the researcher chose to use a census method due to the relatively small population size, thus selecting all members of the population as samples. Data collection used questionnaires distributed to respondents. Data were analyzed using PLS SEM to test for direct and moderating effects. The results showed that job characteristics and discipline had a significant positive effect on employee performance. Furthermore, organizational culture was shown to strengthen the relationship between job characteristics and discipline and performance. These findings emphasize the importance of appropriate job design, consistent discipline, and strengthening a conducive organizational culture as an integrated strategy for sustainably improving employee performance.
