In addition to the researcher as an instrument, was used the supporting equipment in the collecting of data, such as recorder so that the data which was collected was enough to complete the research and achieved the research objectives. To obtain the necessary data in this research, it can be told that data collection techniques used was include questionnaires, interviews and documentation. In measuring the research variables, respondents were asked to declare their perception of choosing one of the five answer alternatives: (5) strongly agree, (4) agree, (3) disagree, (2) disagree, (1) agree. doi: Page 20547

5 3.8 Testing of Research Instrument: The testing of research instrument result shows all the questions of the four variables which was studied (leadership style, work environment, job satisfaction and employee performance) are valid (coefficient above 0.30), and indicate good level of reliability (Alpha correlation coefficient ) Cronbach is above 0.60). 3.9 Data Analysis Technique: Descriptive Analysis: The use of descriptive analysis technique was intended to obtain a description of the characteristics of the research respondents from several aspects, such as: gender, age and education presented in the form of frequency, percentage, or average (mean) Inferential Analysis: Inferential analysis method used in this research was to test the measurement model and structural model simultaneously with the available data analysis of 60 questionnaires. In accordance with, adequate analytical techniques used were the structural equation modeling (SEM) based on variant or component based best known as Partial Least Square (PLS). 4. Finding and Discussion: In this study, the four latent variables of leadership style (X1), work environment (X2), job satisfaction (Y1) and employee performance (Y2) was a measurement model with reflective indicators, so that in the evaluation of measurement model was done by checking as follows: 1) Evaluation of Measurement Model (Outer Model) a) Convergent Validity : In the result of this study, each indicator has an outer loading value greater than 0.50 and T-Statistic is above so that the indicators used to measure each research variable can be said to be valid. b) Discriminant Validity: all variables have an AVE value above 0.5. In addition, the square root of average variance extracted ( ) for each variable was mostly above the correlation coefficient values between variables. Thus, the results was obtained indicate the discriminant validity of the research model was good enough and acceptable for further analysis. c) Compositereliability: the value of the composite reliability of the four latent variables has been above 0.70, so it can be said that the reliable indicator block measures the variables. 2) Evaluation of Structural Model (Inner Model) The evaluation of structural model result get value of Q 2 that is Thus, the result of this evaluation provides evidence that the strutural model has a goodness of fit model. These result can be interpreted that the information contained in the data is percent can be explained by the model, while the remaining percent explained by errors and other variables that have not been contained in the model. 3) The Result Of Hyphotesis Testing Hypothesis testing was done by t-test by sorting for testing the direct and indirect effects or testing the mediation variables. The results of hypothesis testing research can be presented in the following figure: doi: Page 20548
