Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between the work environment and employee development programs on productivity and job satisfaction in the manufacturing industry in West Java. A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected from 100 employees using a Likert scale of 1 to 5. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results reveal that both the work environment and employee development programs have significant positive effects on productivity and job satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of creating a supportive work environment and offering continuous development opportunities to enhance employee performance and satisfaction. This study provides practical insights for managers in the manufacturing sector on improving workplace conditions and development programs to drive better outcomes.
