INTRODUCTION
Job satisfaction is a pleasant emotional attitude at work. This attitude can be reflected by work morale, discipline, and work performance (Hasibuan, 2003:202). Positive feelings about the work experienced by a person which is the result of an evaluation of its characteristics (Robbins and Judge, 2008: 107). High job satisfaction applies that employees are happy and comfortable with the organization's work environment and get the appropriate effort from their work (Aziri, 2011). Job satisfaction in relation to performance according to Mathis & Jackson (2001:99) states that although job satisfaction is interesting and important, the most basic thing is the influence of job satisfaction on the organization which will affect employee performance. In research on job satisfaction on performance conducted by Hanafi (2017), Novendri, et al. (2020), and Asbari, et al (2020) found that job satisfaction had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, in contrast to research conducted by Arianto, (2017) and Kharishma, (2019) which found that job satisfaction had no effect on employee performance.. Another factor that can affect performance is organizational justice. Organizational justice has been seen as an important variable in improving the performance of an organization's employees. According to Gibson, et al. (2012) define organizational justice as the degree to which an individual feels treated equally in the organization where he works. Another definition says, they tend to retaliate by putting extra effort into work or dedication to more work (Brown, et al., 2005). Colquitt, et al. (2001) suggests that organizational justice has four types, namely distributive justice, procedural justice, interpersonal justice, and informational justice. Research conducted by Triyanthi, et al. (2018), Lansart, et al (2019), Rato, et al (2020), and Tegar, (2021), found that organizational justice has a positive and significant effect on performance, in contrast to research conducted Shah, (2013), Mahdani, et al, (2017) and Maulidya, et al (2021) who found organizational justice had no effect on employee performance. In terms of performance, leadership is one of the factors that can affect performance. The role of leadership on employee performance is very important.Leaders must be able to give serious attention to fostering, mobilizing, directing all potential employees in achieving goalsso thatcan ultimately improve high performance (Thoha, 2001).According to Gibson, et. al (2000: 334) the success of a company will depend on its leadership in managing the organization, because employee loyalty and discipline will provide support for responsible and highly dedicated leaders. Leadership is a process of someone being able to influence others to achieve a common goal (Kreitner and Kinicki, 2009) This makes leadership an important value in social exchange (Wayne et al., 2002; Cropanzano & Mitchell, 2005; Erdoan et al., 2006).
