employees in the organization show different levels of performance between one employee and another, for example in carrying out work that is not based on the organization's mission, so that many programs made have not been fully implemented and achieved properly. It is known that an organization driven by a mission will be more efficient, effective, flexible and have higher performance than one driven by formalization or existing regulations (Josiah, et al, 2020).
Village administration activities at the Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office are conducted by village apparatus and has total of 37 people including the Village Officials and also the Village Head. The application of government of the village is going to be structured and more focused, better and also advanced if the performance of entire village apparatus to helpgiving services is not slow, not complicated and not formal, so that the community feels that their interests can be served properly and are free from elements of corruption, collusion, and Nepotism (KKN). Thus, the implementation of village government at the Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office must refer to the government regulations that have been set. Therefore, the village apparatus, especially the village head, is expected to actually carry out their functions and also duties as the leader of village administration as stipulated (Saputra, 2012).
Based on employee performance evaluation data, the percentage of employee performance is still below 100%, which illustrates that the employees performance at the Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office is not optimal (Saputra et al., 2020). Optimizing employee performance and its utilization in an organization is a must if the number of employees (labor) is abundant. Having employees with high performance levels is the desire of all companies or organizations. Another factor which can affect the performance is the work environment (Saputra et al., 2019).
The work environment becomes very instrumental in influencing employee performance. Based on monitoring and interviews of several employees. Problems related to the work environment indicate that the atmosphere of dividing rooms is still not effective, there is still a lack of supporting facilities and infrastructure for employees such as the number of seats that are not sufficient for employees' needs, printer machines which often jam and the number is limited, computers, dispensers, lights, trash boxes , and there is no APAR (light fire extinguisher). Good employee performance will be created if a harmonious work environment and good work discipline are created (Sunyoto, 2012). Uncomfortable working environment conditions, heat, inadequate air circulation, overcrowded work space, less clean, noisy environment of work, is going to influence the comfort of employees wherever they are. A bad work environment can cause employees to fall ill easily, stress, concentration and productivity can easily decrease. Research related to the effect between the environment of work toward performance of employee conducted, consisting of: Nurrohman found that the environment of work gives an effect toward employee performance. Meanwhile, Dea's research, et al (2020) found that there was no effect of the environment of work toward performance of employee.
Another factor which can affect performance is the organizational culture. It also becomes a way of completing tasks and patterns of interaction that occur within an organization to be the effort to helpreaching the organizational purposes (Yusuf, 2017). Patterns of interaction which occur between various ethnic, religious and racial backgrounds as well as between groups (SARA). The similarity of cultural values, norms and beliefs that apply to each individual will strengthen the organizational culture that exists in an organization (Hakim, 2012). Differences in cultural backgrounds between employees and workplaces are also identified as factors that influence successful adjustments (Soetjipto, 2013:17) Organizational culture at the Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office will show the rules of the game that apply in a group or organization. In some time the continuity is very good and has a big impact on performance and concern for the surroundings, but it is still not understood or implemented by employees because there are still many changes that have occurred as a result of the habits that have been carried out being repeated after a long time have been arranged. There is no separate standard made by company leaders related to the organizational culture. So there are still employees who are indifferent to the culture that exists in the company. It should have been a long time since the Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office was built, the culture that has occurred has been getting better done but in reality there are still recurring incidents.
Research concerned to the effect between organizational culture toward employee performance has been carried out, including: Nurrohman (2021) There is another factor affected toward performance of employee is work discipline (Akmaludin, 2021). Employee work discipline, one of which is going to known from employee attendance's level at the Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office, can be seen from the absentee level of Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office employees in 2021, the Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office sets working hours from 8.00 WITA to 15.30 WITA From the table above it can be seen that the employee's entry hours for most of the work pass the specified working hours, and the employee's return hours are less than the working hours determined by the Village Office, it indicates that the work discipline level among employees is very low.
Research  (2022) found that discipline gives no significant influence toward employee performance.
