Abstract

Abstract. Purpose – This study explores how organizational culture and work environment shape employee performance within government institutions, using the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Maybrat Regency as a case study. Design/methodology/approach – Adopting a quantitative explanatory design, the research examines how cultural values and workplace conditions contribute individually and collectively to performance outcomes in a public sector context. The data were collected through an online survey and analyzed using WarpPLS software version 7.0. Findings – The analysis highlights that improvements in the physical, psychological, and managerial aspects of the work environment play a critical role in enhancing employee effectiveness, particularly in remote regions with limited resources. Research limitations – This study is limited by its narrow geographical scope, focusing solely on civil servants within the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Maybrat Regency, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings to other public institutions with differing administrative complexities or cultural dynamics. Future research should broaden the institutional scope and consider integrating mediating factors such as leadership style or job satisfaction to deepen theoretical understanding and practical relevance. Practical implications – These findings underscore the need for public institutions to prioritize environmental improvements alongside cultural development. Originality/value – This study examines these two constructs separately or in an urban context, focusing on a remote and underdeveloped area Maybrat Regency where organisational performance is influenced by unique social and administrative challenges
