Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of work meaning, work-life balance, and work experience on employee performance at the West Medan Primary Tax Service Office, both partially and simultaneously. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method with a sample of 54 employees (n = 54). Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results indicate that, partially, work meaning and work experience have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while work-life balance does not show a significant effect. However, simultaneously, all three variables significantly explain employee performance. These findings suggest that psychological factors such as work meaning and individual attributes such as work experience play a more prominent role in enhancing employee performance compared to work-life balance in this organizational context. Practically, organizations are encouraged to strengthen employees’ sense of meaningful work and provide opportunities to enhance experience through training and career development programs.
