Abstract

Employee performance is a critical determinant of organizational success, particularly in the manufacturing sector where workload management and effective communication are key operational challenges. This study aims to examine the effect of job demand and internal communication on employee performance at PT Lao Chow Indonesia. The research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method with a sample of 110 employees selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that job demand does not have a significant effect on employee performance, while internal communication has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Simultaneously, job demand and internal communication significantly influence employee performance. The coefficient of determination shows that these variables explain 26.2% of the variance in employee performance, while the remaining 73.8% is influenced by other factors.
