This study aims to identify the key factors influencing employee performance and to understand the relationships between these factors and workforce outcomes. The research employs the PRISMA methodology (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) to conduct a systematic literature review. Data were gathered by searching the Scopus database using the keyword “factors influencing employee performance.” Only the most recent articles from the past three years that met predetermined inclusion criteria were selected, resulting in 22 relevant studies. The analysis reveals that the type of leadership, organizational culture, employee engagement, and human resource management practices significantly impact employee performance. These findings highlight the importance of implementing management strategies that focus on leadership development, organizational culture, and efficiently managing human resources to improve employee performance.
