This study aims to analyze the influence of the work environment and compensation on improving employee performance at Kantin Kabita STIKes, South Tangerang. Using a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews with canteen employees, the research reveals that a lively and interactive workplace atmosphere, supported by open communication and positive relationships, fosters a sense of togetherness that enhances motivation and job satisfaction. Although challenges such as limited space, cleanliness issues, and high workloads during peak hours affect comfort, the supportive attitude of supervisors and harmonious teamwork help maintain productivity. Appropriate compensation, provided based on attendance and performance, also contributes to employees’ motivation and sense of responsibility.  The combination of a conducive work environment and a fair compensation system plays a crucial role in creating comfort, increasing enthusiasm, and improving the overall performance of employees at Kantin Kabita STIKes, South Tangerang.
