1. Introduction
The success of a company is greatly influenced by the performance of its employees.
According to Sutiadi [1], performance is a result of work achieved by a person in carrying out
tasks assigned to him based on skills, experience, sincerity and time. Whereas Suprayetno and
Brahmasari [2] suggest that performance is the achievement of organizational goals which can
be in the form of quantitative or qualitative output, creativity, flexibility, reliability, or other
things desired by the organization. It can be concluded that employee performance is the result
of work achieved by someone in carrying out the tasks assigned to him.
Giving compensation is one of the implementations of HRM functions relating to all
types of individual awards in exchange for performing organizational tasks. Sengkang
according to Hasibuan [3], compensation policies both the size, composition and time of
payment can encourage work passion and desire of employees to achieve optimal performance
so as to help realize the company's goals. It can be concluded that compensation is a form of
remuneration received by employees. Providing better compensation will encourage
employees to work better and more productive. This means that employees use knowledge,
skills, energy and time in devoting themselves to the company, the purpose of which is to
expect rewards or rewards for the results that have been given.
Other businesses to improve employee performance include paying attention to the work
environment of employees. A conducive work environment must be created by the leadership
of the company. Employees can carry out their work properly if supported by the conditions of
the work environment that are appropriate. The work environment is everything that is around
workers, which can affect themselves in carrying out their tasks (Nitisemito, 1996). In other
