In conclusion, this study has identified that compensation has a significant positive effect on job performance. Besides that, motivation and discipline have no significant effect on job performance. Also, this study has examined the mediating role of job satisfaction and found that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between motivation and job performance. In addition, job satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between discipline and job performance. This study indicated that leadership's motivation and organisation's compensation and discipline are needed to increase job satisfaction so that employee performance will be increased. Thus, Batam University should optimise regulation and supervision of discipline of its employees because the research results were not significant on job satisfaction and employee performance.</p> ER -
