Abstract

This study examines the influence of job stress, reward, and punishment on employee performance at PT Penerbit Erlangga Samarinda Branch within the context of increasing organizational demands and industry dynamics. The research is motivated by the need to understand how human resource management practices contribute to improving employee performance amid work pressure and organizational expectations. The objective of this study is to analyze the partial and simultaneous effects of job stress, reward, and punishment on employee performance. This study employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design, involving 107 permanent employees selected using a census sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results reveal that job stress, reward, and punishment all have positive and significant effects on employee performance. Among these variables, punishment shows the strongest influence, followed by job stress and reward. The findings indicate that properly managed job stress can enhance productivity, while fair reward systems increase motivation and well-implemented punishment strengthens discipline and accountability. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of balanced human resource management strategies in optimizing employee performance, particularly through effective stress management, fair reward distribution, and consistent disciplinary mechanisms.
