Pengaruh Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja Terhadap Kinerja Karyawan Dengan Keterampilan Sebagai Variabel Mediator

This study aims to analyze the influence of occupational health and safety (OHS) on employee performance, with skills as a mediating variable at PT. Sumber Bara Abadi. A quantitative approach was applied using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The entire population of 70 permanent employees was used as the sample through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results showed that OHS significantly affects skills (coefficient = 0.462; P-value = 0.002) and significantly affects employee performance (coefficient = 0.461; P-value = 0.000). Additionally, skills significantly influence performance (coefficient = 0.273; P-value = 0.026). However, the moderating effect of skills on the relationship between OHS and performance was not significant (P-value = 0.284). The R² value indicates that the independent variables explain 21.3% of the variance in skills and 56.2% of the variance in performance. The Q² value of 0.273 indicates a moderate predictive relevance of the model for performance. These findings suggest that OHS and skills are critical factors in improving performance, with skills functioning more effectively as a mediating variable than as a moderator. The study implies that companies should continuously invest in both OHS programs and skill development to foster a safe, productive, and sustainable work environment.
