This article analyzes the role of Work-Life Balance, Motivation, and Work Environment on Employee Performance in the manufacturing industry. Work-Life Balance (WLB) can be measured on time management, mental health, job satisfaction, and overall performance. Work Motivation is seen from intrinsic and extrinsic factors, while the Work Environment is seen from a conducive, safe, and comfortable atmosphere. This study uses a quantitative approach using SmartPLS. This method was chosen because of its effectiveness in testing complex causal models with many variables and its flexibility assuming data distribution. Primary data was collected from 98 employees via Google from Likert scale, using the seneus technique. Analysis includes evaluating measurement models for validity and reliability and testing hypotheses. The SEM-PLS analysis confirms that Work-Life Balance, Motivation, and Work Environment all have a positive and significant impact on employee performance. WLB showed the most dominant influence among the three factors. This research is an important factor that significantly affects employee performance. Maintaining and improving these factors, especially WLB, is essential for fostering employee motivation, a sense of security, and maximizing work output, thereby contributing to the overall success of the organization.
