The population was 186 nurses and midwives working in the inpatient installation room of RSU Negara. A sample of 65 was taken using proportional random sampling. Data analysis techniques included validity test analysis, reliability, classical assumptions, and path analysis. The results showed that workload had a negative and significant effect on employee job satisfaction and performance; competence had a significant positive effect on employee job satisfaction and performance; job satisfaction had a significant positive effect on employee performance; workload had a negative effect on employee performance through job satisfaction as an intervening variable at RSU Negara. These results showed that job satisfaction could not be an intervening variable on the effect of workload on employee performance at RSU Negara. Competence had a positive effect on employee performance through job satisfaction as an intervening variable at RSU Negara. These results showed that job satisfaction could be an intervening variable on the effect of competence on employee performance at RSU Negara.
