S. D. M. F. R. A. L. Nasib, 2023).If an employee enjoys his workplace, he will feel comfortable there and do his job to make the most of his time there (A.F. Nasib, 2020).On the other hand, poor working conditions will result in low productivity (Ballian, 2020).Research results previously show that environmental work is influential and significant to the performance of employees of (E.
