ABSTRACT Researchers believe that mental health can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on employee performance because mental health, which consists of psychological health and intellectual health, can make employees work stably, measurably, efficiently and effectively in taking every step and making every decision. facing difficulties. Apart from that, researchers also believe that the effect will be more significant if accompanied by good physical activity which leads to good physical health. This research is quantitative research with an explanatory approach. The data used in this research is primary data that researchers obtained from distributing a questionnaire containing 14 items consisting of 6 Mental Health variable question items, 4 Employee Performance variable question items, and 4 Physical Activity variable question items. This data can also be called primary data. This research was conducted on 300 Bank Permata employees spread throughout Indonesia. The result in this research show good Mental Health can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on Employee Performance because Mental Health which consists of Mental Health and Intellectual Health can make employees more focused at work, more efficient in completing targets, and more effective in solving existing Therefore, the results of the first row of path coefficients in this study show that the mental health variable can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on employee performance due to the positive P-Values and being below the 0. 05 significance level, namely 0. Apart from that, the results of the second row of the third table of path coefficients show that the beliefs and assumptions of the two researchers can be fulfilled because the P-Values are positive and are below the significance level of 0. 05, namely 0. because good physical activity can make the body healthy so that employees can work with focus, fit, and be able to complete any target without hindrance. Moreover, this is accompanied by good mental health and intellectual health. In this way, employee performance can be easily achieved.

In the book Mental Hygiene, mental health is related to several things. First, how a person thinks, feels and lives daily life.

A mentally healthy person is a person who spiritually or in his heart always feels calm, safe, at ease (Riny Chandra, 2. Another understanding of mental health, namely the realization of true harmony between mental functions and the creation of self-adaptation between humans, themselves and their environment based on faith and devotion and aimed at achieving a meaningful and happy life in this world and the hereafter (Fiorincia & Widayati, 2.

(Risambessy, 2. The mental health of employees in their work environment is a problem that often goes unnoticed because it is something that is not visible in physical form. So it requires careful observation from company leaders. Mental health influences the performance that employees will provide to the company.

Apart from that, researchers also believe that the effect will be more significant if accompanied by good physical activity which leads to good physical health. This research is quantitative research with an explanatory approach (Supriyanto, 2. The data used in this research is primary data that researchers obtained from distributing a questionnaire containing 14 items consisting of 6 Mental Health variable question items, 4 Employee Performance variable question items, and 4 Physical Activity variable question This data can also be called primary data (Hair, 2. This research was conducted on 300 Bank Permata employees spread throughout Indonesia. The primary data was analyzed using the smart PLS 4. 0 analysis tool (Gujarati, 2. These data were analyzed using Smart PLS 4. 0 with the following research model: 2518 | Volume 6 Nomor 3 2024 Reslaj: Religion Education Social Laa Roiba Journal Volume 6 Nomor 3 . 2516 Ae 2523 P-ISSN 2656-274x E-ISSN 2656-4691 DOI: 10. 47476/reslaj.

Reliability Test 300 Bank Permata employees who answered 14 question items consisting of 6 question items for the Mental Health variable, 4 question items for the Employee Performance variable, and 4 question items for the Physical Activity variable showed valid results because the Loading Factor value was above 0. The next stage is the reliability test to find out the Composite Reliability and Cronbach Alpha values used in the research with the following results (Ghozali, 2. Table 2. Reliability Test Variable Mental Health Employee Performance Physical Activity Composite Reliability Cronbach Alfa Noted Reliable Reliable Reliable 2520 | Volume 6 Nomor 3 2024 Reslaj: Religion Education Social Laa Roiba Journal Volume 6 Nomor 3 . 2516 Ae 2523 P-ISSN 2656-274x E-ISSN 2656-4691 DOI: 10. 47476/reslaj.

The final stage is the Path Coefficient to determine the direction of the relationship and the positive influence or not between the independent variable on the dependent variable with the following results (Gujarati. Table 3. Path Coefficient Direct Influence Indirect Influence Significant Level > 0.
