This study aims to determine the direct influence of career development and compensation on employee performance and to examine the role of job satisfaction mediation in the relationship between the influence of career development and compensation on the performance of banking employees. The study involved 50 organic employees. Data collection was carried out using the survey method. The analysis test used is the Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach using the Partial Least Square (PLS) program. The results of the test on the influence of career development on employee performance through job satisfaction showed an insignificant value (p-value = 0.448) and the results of the test on the influence of compensation on employee performance through job satisfaction showed a significant value (p-value = 0.001).
