INTRODUCTION
In today's competitive and dynamic business environment, organizations are becoming aware of the utmost significance of satisfaction, benefits, and learning for propelling productivity and professional advancement.
organizations endeavor to entice and retain exceptional personnel, they are progressively dedicating their efforts to establishing atmospheres that place the welfare and career growth of their staff members as a priority.
This change in approach has not only resulted in enhanced individual performance but has also had a positive influence on the overall achievement of the organization (Lin & Huang, 2.
Concerning satisfaction, individual growth, and fulfillment, employees possess higher anticipations for their occupations than ever before.
Consequently, employees are demonstrating a strong willingness to acquire knowledge about endeavors beyond the realm of They are seeking employment opportunities that will facilitate the cultivation of their personalities, hobbies, and professions.
Individuals anticipate more from their professional endeavors than merely a salary and a few additional benefits, and the degree to which their employer fulfills these expectations impacts the extent of employees' dedication to the organization.
Professional advancement within the workplace is also another vital objective that every employee aspires to accomplish.
For an extended period, career advancement, which refers to the progression of one's professional trajectory within or between different organizations, has constituted a significant area of focus within the field of vocational psychology (Weng & Zhu, 2.
Understanding the factors that contribute to certain individuals achieving higher job success than others has made significant progress in recent years.
It is important for us to closely examine our knowledge of how individuals develop in their careers, both within and outside of organizations.
Previous research in this field has raised several crucial research inquiries, such as what managerial practices promote employees' growth within an organization, why some individuals excel in career advancement compared to others, both within and across organizations, and what personal factors influence an individual's career growth (Japor, 2.
Employee performance is regarded as one of the factors that influence and play a part in the performance of the organization.
This is because it directly contributes to the organization's success through the conduct of the individual, despite the presence of other factors that aid in its achievement (Saleh et al.
, 2.
Employee job satisfaction serves as a connection point between the reward system and the level of engagement at work (Brown.
Hence, it can be inferred that the factors that lead to engagement stem from experiencing satisfaction with one's job.
When it comes to career choices, employees base their preferences on whether their current job is a source of inspiration for them (Chawla et al.
, 2.
Creating job satisfaction for employees is a challenging task, as it can only be achieved when there is a strong connection between work motivation, effective leadership, and the organizational culture of the company.
This connection must be well-established and embraced by all members of the workforce.
The performance of the organization is reliant on the individual contributions of its employees, meaning that their productivity directly impacts the overall success of the company (Akob et al.
, 2020.
Haerani et , 2.
Employee benefits has the potential to enhance employee satisfaction, thereby augmenting the overall prosperity of a company.
Nonetheless, there is limited knowledge regarding the influence of job benefits on employee satisfaction within various organizational structures (Querbach et al.
, 2.
However, the benefits of offering to the employees are not equally advantageous for all companies.
Previous article contend that the influence of employee benefits varies due to the fact that employees place different levels of importance on and interpret job benefits in distinct ways .
e la Torre-Ruiz et al.
, 2.
Employees benefits such as insurance, retirement plans, compensated absences, and miscellaneous amenities.
Employee benefits in higher education institutions are subject to the impact of numerous factors, including social policy, labor market conditions, employee demographics, and individual preferences.
Higher education institutions can effectively convey their dedication to the welfare and career growth of their employees by providing competitive and extensive employee Previous studies discussed certain factors that must be taken into account in order to enhance work effectiveness, specifically motivation (Paais & Pattiruhu, 2.
, training (Niati et al.

, satisfaction, learning, and knowledge (Yoopetch et al.

Previous research has been conducted on career growth in the hospitality industry (Son & Kim, 2021.

The progression of an employee's career is a personal attribute that managers are unable to control.
Over time, it has been observed to have various impacts on organizations, including employee performance in the workplace.
In order to enhance organizational performance, increase productivity, and retain talented individuals, organizations need to have a comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in the employment relationship (Naidoo et al.
, 2.
Therefore, companies today should actively look forward to fulfilling employee's expectations and generate an impact on the performance of the Wijaya et.

employee, which directly marks the organization's performance.
As a professional working in educational institution, it is essential to acknowledge that the development of one's profession is not solely centered around personal progression but also encompasses the beneficial influence one can exert upon the well-being of students and the wider society.
In order to successfully navigate this intricate and diverse journey of career advancement, it is of utmost importance to possess a comprehensive comprehension of the different pathways accessible and the tactics that can be employed to optimize these prospects.
In our study, we investigate the determine of career growth in personnel working in higher education in Indonesia.
This study aims to address questions and research gaps in this area.
Our research offers contributions to the discussion on the antecedents of career growth.
We contribute to the expanding body of knowledge on human resource management (HRM).
Our investigation specifically focuses on the higher education institution in Indonesia.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Employee Satisfaction The development of any organization depends on employee satisfaction.
One's affective response to all work roles is what is meant by the term employee satisfaction.
Employee satisfaction refers to a person's overall affective orientation towards the job role they are deployed.
A person's attitude toward work can be a good indicator of employee satisfaction (Sarker & Ashrafi, 2.
This satisfaction depends on what individuals want from their work and what they are paid for.
Those who want the most but receive the least are the most dissatisfied.
However, those who try a lot and succeed are the happiest.
Previous research found employee satisfaction positively affected on employee performance (Arif et al.
, 2019.
Gopal et al.
, 2021.
Hendri, 2.
Organizations that provide mechanisms for employee career growth create a mutual investment type of relationship with their employees (Nkechi & Dialoke, 2.
Thus, the hypothesis is constructed as follows:
H1: Employee Satisfaction affects on Career Growth H5: Employee Satisfaction affects on Employee Performance Employee Benefit In the field of human resources research, employee benefits are one of the most frequently studied subjects.
According to economic theory, employee benefits, particularly performance-based pay, can act as strong inducements for a worker to work harder to complete a task enhancing the performance of their work.
The advantages were examined namely health care, retirement plans, employer-sponsored benefits, and work-family benefitsAiand discovered that benefits for employees can affect how employees participate in organizations (Yoopetch et al.
, 2.
Any type of payment made by the company is considered an employee benefit excluding wages or salaries that are fully or partially covered by the employer.
In summary, the benefit is the addition of the payment of employee or compensation which provided and the employee benefit related to employee performance (Kadir et al.
, 2.
Employee benefits are essential to the growth of corporate labor relations for example childcare and retirement plans, elder care, hospitalization plans, social security, paid time off, and paid holidays.
The goal of employee benefits is to increase staff members' financial security and, as a result, improve worker morale, and organization retention.
However, previous research found there was no affect of employee benefits on employee performance (Yoopetch et al.
, 2.
Thus, the hypothesis is constructed as below:
H2: Employee Benefit affects on Career Growth H6: Employee Benefit affects on Employee Performance Employee Learning Employee learning is the employees participate actively in learning activities (Hendri, 2.
Employee learning has been the subject of several Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR.
Employee learning in the workplace is described as the process by which "individuals or groups acquire, interpret, reorganize, change, or assimilate a related cluster of information, skills, and feelings (Yoopetch et al.
, 2.
Previous research have been found there was a positive and significant affect employee learning on employee performance (Oh, 2019.
Torlak & Kuzey, 2.
Thus, the hypothesis constructed as below:
H3: Employee Learning affects on Career Growth H7: Employee Learning affects on Employee Performance Wijaya et.

39 -50, 2.
Employee performance Employee performance is an action that employees do in carrying out the work done by the company.
Performance in carrying out its functions is not independent, but always relates to employee job satisfaction and the level of reward given, and influenced by individual skills, abilities, and traits.
Employee Performance has four dimensions, namely goal attainment quality, efficiency, and profitability measured items (Kirimi & Maende.
Thus, the hypothesis constructed as below:
H4: Employee Performance affects on Career Growth Career Growth Career growth is quantified through an assessment of the professional growth and progression afforded by one's current organization.
It encompasses the comprehensive backing bestowed upon employees by the management in terms of internal promotion opportunities.
It is posited that these provisions for advancement engender a psychological attachment among individuals towards their employer.
Simultaneously, employees come to comprehend that the developmental support provided by management leads to a harmonious relationship between their aspirations for career growth and their positive attitudes towards the current leadership.
bolstering career growth, the organization has the potential to elicit effective behaviors from its personnel.
Moreover, employees perceive career growth as a valuable asset for their continuous dedication and loyalty to their employer (Bhaskar et al.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The current study was conducted with a quantitative and descriptive design.
The primary objective of a descriptive study is to investigate, observe, and depict a situation, sample, or variable in its natural environment without the intervention of the researcher.
The study consisted of three exogenous constructs, namely Employee Satisfaction.
Employee Benefits, and Employee Learning.
Additionally, there was one mediating variable.
Employee Performance, and the endogenous construct was Career Growth.
The collection of research data is of utmost importance, as it enhances researchers' comprehension of the theoretical framework.
Given that no amount of analysis can compensate for inaccurately acquired data, it is crucial to exercise sound judgment when selecting the technique and source for data acquisition.
All the constructs utilized in this research were evaluated using questionnaires that incorporated a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5.
This scale allows for the ranking of responses from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
The total number of measurement items was 25, with 5 measurement items per variable .

Employee Benefit has a positive and significantly effects on Employee Performance as well as Career Growth reveals that organization that care about the employeesAo benefits other than salary, namely intangible rewards and recognitions will giving employees the motivation to develop new skills aids in maintaining their interest and engagement and will increase their performance as well as their career growth at the end.
If an organization does not give employees the chance for their career growth, this will increase their desire to leave the company and it will be difficult to retain potential employees.
This is the primary reason for employees to leave the organization.
Organizations that invest in career growth planning of employees are more likely to retain their employees.
individual is more likely to display loyalty and opt to stay if they believe that the company cares about them and will provide them with possibilities to advance.
The management of higher education institutions must pay attention to their employees, show concern for them, encourage them to participate in choices that affect their jobs or careers, and reward them with raises or The most crucial benefit is that management encourage and value their staff.
Management encourages employees to improve employee performance by using both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards to motivate employees.
Rewards that make employees feel proud or appreciated for accomplishing a task are referred to as intrinsic A few examples of intrinsic benefits are relevance, which is the purpose behind your contribution, praise for a job well done, credit for a job well done, and the freedom to make your own decisions.
An extrinsic reward is something you receive outside of yourself for successfully completing a task.
Extrinsic benefits include things like a company car, a bonus or commission that boosts sales or profits, a comfortable workspace, a promotion, and stock options.
Programs for employee recognition are created to express gratitude to certain employees for a variety of accomplishments.
A simple "thank you" can convey appreciation, or it can be more elaborate, such as in a formal program where the recipients of the acknowledgment are acknowledged in front of their peers, superiors, and coworkers.
Many businesses use a variety of platforms to share information about their recognition programs, including discussion boards, monthly newsletters, and corporate e-mails or websites.
Employee learning has a positive and significant impact on employee performance and career growth.
This shows that employees put in a lot of effort and use all their skills to achieve the organization's goals.
Employee learning means expecting employees who want or are willing to learn to improve their performance and lead to career growth.
With each employee wanting to learn more, we engage in various activities such as participating in seminars, workshops, and other training both inside and outside the company.
This leads to employee growth, and employee growth leads to improved employee performance.
