Abstract: Abstract This study investigates the factors influencing employee performance in the manufacturing sector, focusing on leadership style, job satisfaction, work environment, and career development. Using a survey-based approach, data were collected from 212 employees across various manufacturing organizations, analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results revealed that leadership style positively impacts employee performance (p = 0.003), with effective leadership practices enhancing employees’ productivity and engagement. Job satisfaction also demonstrated a significant positive effect on performance (p = 0.021), suggesting that employees who are satisfied with their work tend to perform better. Similarly, the work environment was found to have a strong positive relationship with employee performance (p = 0.000), highlighting the importance of a supportive work setting. Career development also showed a significant influence (p = 0.000), emphasizing the role of growth opportunities in boosting employee motivation and output. The study underscores the critical role of these factors in optimizing employee performance and provides practical implications for organizations seeking to improve workforce effectiveness. Future research could explore additional variables and broader industry contexts to further validate these findings.
