Abstract

Yemeni government institutions continue to lag behind other countries in terms of effectiveness. The emphasis in this study is on rewards systems. The
work environment that influences staff performance through staff satisfaction in Yemeni press institutions was identified. The current study can be
viewed as an empirical attempt to connect a variety of topics. The proposed multidimensional model includes rewards; the working environment as a
control variable; employee satisfaction as a potential mediator factor; and employee performance as a predictor variable. The survey information was
retrieved from 200 participants using a standard survey questionnaire of Yemen's general public press institutions. To continue investigating the
correlation between different variables in the proposed theoretical framework model, a quantitative measurement model that also included EFA, CFA,
and SEM was also used. The findings of this analysis revealed that the data may have fit the revised conceptual model, and the multivariate regression
analysis revealed the aforementioned essential characteristics: it influences staff satisfaction and staff performance. Staff satisfaction is positively
influenced by reward systems and the working environment, and staff performance is positively influenced by staff satisfaction. Employee satisfaction
is indeed essential in mediating the correlation between employee performance and organizational success; reward systems; as well as working
conditions. The suggested conceptual framework model is estimated to account for 66% of the variation in effective employee performance as well as
74% of the variation in employee job satisfaction. The findings shed light on the factors that could improve staff performance in Yemen's public press
institutions.
