This study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys of 547 employees and focus group discussions with management.

The findings show that Total Reward Management has a positive and significant relationship with employee performance at PT Petroleum Upstream Corporation, fulfilling the first research objective. Each component of total rewards including compensation, benefits, well-being, development, and recognition also demonstrated a significant impact on employee performance, with well-being, recognition, and benefits showing the strongest correlation, thereby addressing the second objective. Based on both quantitative and qualitative analysis, this study recommends enhancing non-financial rewards, particularly in well-being and recognition programs, while maintaining a balanced reward mix. These actionable recommendations support the third objective by offering practical strategies to improve employee performance through an optimized Total Reward Management package.
