Abstract: Abstract This study aims to examine the effects of work engagement, intrinsic motivation, and job satisfaction on work productivity at CV Jodion Unggul Perkasa in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. A survey was conducted with a sample of 62 employees selected using the Slovin formula from a population of 163, sampling technique using purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS software to test validity, reliability, and hypothesis. The study revealed that intrinsic motivation and job satisfaction have a significant and positive effect on work productivity. However, work engagement did not show a significant impact on productivity. These results indicate that intrinsic motivation and satisfaction with work environment factors are more crucial in driving productivity than engagement alone. The findings suggest that organizations should focus on enhancing intrinsic motivation and job satisfaction through policies that promote autonomy, competence, supportive relationships, and a positive work environment. These actions could lead to improved productivity among employees. This research contributes to the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) by highlighting the importance of fulfilling basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) to foster intrinsic motivation, which positively influences work productivity. It provides valuable insights into employee motivation and productivity within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
