Abstract

This study examines the influence of transformational leadership and organizational culture on employee performance through job satisfaction in an oil and gas supporting service company. Using a quantitative approach, census sampling was applied to 60 employees of PT Mulia Solusindo. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that transformational leadership and organizational culture significantly affect job satisfaction and employee performance. Job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between both independent variables and employee performance. The results highlight the importance of adaptive leadership practices and supportive organizational culture in maintaining employee performance within fluctuating industrial environments.
