Keywords:
Safety Culture, Reward System, Work-Life Balance, Employee PerformanceAbstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of safety culture, reward system, and work-life balance on employee performance at PT PLN Nusantara Power UP Belawan. A quantitative associative method was employed with 98 employees from the Operations division as respondents through saturated sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. The results show that partially, safety culture (sig. 0.044), reward system (sig. 0.017), and work-life balance (sig. 0.004) have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, with work-life balance as the most dominant variable (contribution 13.4%). Simultaneously, the three variables significantly affect performance (F=13.111; sig. 0.000) with a contribution of 29.5%. The lowest indicators are availability of PPE for safety culture, objectivity of assessment for reward system, and satisfaction with balance for work-life balance. These findings support Social Exchange Theory. Thus, integrated HR management is needed to improve sustainable performance. The company is advised to prioritize improvements in work-life balance, a fair reward system, and strengthening safety culture.
