Abstract : This research seeks to examine the influence of work-life balance and motivation on employee performance, with job satisfaction serving as an intervening variable. The study was carried out among employees at the Representative Office of Bank Indonesia in South Kalimantan Province, involving 68 respondents. A quantitative method was applied, utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) supported by SmartPLS 3 software for data analysis. The findings reveal that work-life balance and motivation positively contribute to job satisfaction. Moreover, job satisfaction demonstrates a positive impact on employee performance. The results also show that work-life balance and motivation exert both direct effects on employee performance and indirect effects through job satisfaction as a mediating variable. Therefore, job satisfaction is empirically validated as a mediator in the relationship between work-life balance, motivation, and employee performance. These outcomes highlight the need for organizations to foster a supportive worklife balance and st
