INTRODUCTION

Human resources are an important enough part of achieving organizational goals both large and small companies, a company has modern equipment with high technology. The role of human resources in the company is very important because as the main driver of all activities or activities of the company in achieving its goals, both to obtain profits and to maintain the survival of the company. Providing compensation is one of the factors driving high work performance. For some employees getting money is a helper of everything and a reason for someone to keep working, but those who argue that money is only one of the needs that can be met through work. Furthermore, companies must consider giving compensation fairly so that work performance and job satisfaction can be taken into consideration for their performance responsibilities. This research is supported by the existence of previous studies such as research conducted by (Rianto and Alfiyah 2019) proving that there is a significant and positive influence between compensation for performance.

According to Singarimbun (2009) Compensation is all imbalances or compensation received by employees for work results at the company, while compensation has been determined and agreed in advance, so employees must fully approve the compensation or assistance to be received. If the rewards are large enough for employees, the better employee discipline and procurement of quality employees for the company will be easier.

In addition to the compensation factor, the work environment can also improve employee performance, improving performance in the workspace also does not have a conducive space that greatly affects employee performance. Companies should consider things like this to make it easier for the company to work to achieve company goals. Pressure in the work environment can also cause employee psychologists, with sufficient numbers for

employees, the more productivity is generated, and an increase in the number of employees working in the company will increase.

Performance is the optimal result of work done by a company to show its achievements, usually also related to problems related to performance. When we talk about productivity the main concern is the issue that is valued. Because assessing performance is a very important first step in determining company policies needed to improve overall company performance. If anyone has a loyal attitude towards a job, it will definitely produce good results and good results.

According to Mangkunegara, performance (work performance) is the result of high quality work supported by someone in carrying out their duties in accordance with the responsibilities given. Meanwhile, according to Rivai and Basri, benefit is the willingness of a person or group of people to carry out an activity and benefit it according to the responsibilities with the expected results.

THEORY REVIEW

    1. Compensation

      According to Hasibuan (2014: 118) Compensation is all income in the form of goods, goods that are received directly or indirectly by employees in return for rewards given to the company.

      According to Mondy and Martocchio (2016: 247) men praise Compensation is the total of all awards given by the company to employees as an imbalance of the company's services that have been provided to the company.

      According to Dessler (2010: 346) argues: Compensation complements all forms of wages agreed to for employees arising from their work.

      According to (Rianto and Alfiyah.2019) Can be concluded as compensation in the form of payment or in the form of benefits or facilities that are approved with money and given in full by the company to its employees, management provides important and functional assistance to assist human resource management. Financial and non-financial compensation models are related to employee and executive performance.

Performance is an individual who requires effort, ability, and environmental challenges (Setyo 2016).

      Based on the above definitions, it can be stated about the results made by employees by standards and criteria that have been determined in a certain period. Descriptions of three important components, namely: objectives, size and assessment. The determination of the objectives of each organizational unit is a strategy to improve performance.
