This study aims to analyze the impact of employee well-being on employee performance, with empowerment serving as an intervening variable, in bag stores in Makassar City. The population for this research consists of 14 bag stores, with a sample of 51 respondents selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the assistance of SmartPLS 4.0. The analysis results indicate a positive and significant impact of employee well-being on employee empowerment, as well as empowerment positively contributing to employee performance. Additionally, employee well-being has a direct and significant effect on employee performance. Empowerment acts as a mediator in the relationship between employee well-being and employee performance, emphasizing the importance of creating a supportive work environment to enhance performance.
