Abstract


This study aims to analyze the effect of compensation on employee satisfaction at PT. Bank Sulselbar Antang Branch Office. The research method used is a quantitative approach with Spearman Rank correlation analysis techniques, coefficient of determination (R²), and t-test. The research sample consisted of 17 employees selected using the census technique. The results of the analysis show that compensation has a significant effect on employee satisfaction, where salary, benefits, incentives, and bonuses are the main factors that increase job satisfaction. These findings indicate that a fair and competitive compensation system contributes to increasing employee motivation and loyalty. Thus, companies need to strengthen compensation policies to improve employee welfare and overall organizational productivity.
