Managing study programs in the health sector has its own challenges during this COVID-19 pandemic. To produce graduates with qualified competencies requires a lot of practicum intensity so that students are able to master the required skills and competencies. However, with this pandemic, the space for students and study program managers is increasingly limited so that the provision of lecture materials, practicums and even field work practices was carried out using an online method to comply with health protocols. Not to mention that several lecturers who are also still bound by professional duties make the workload increase. This is certainly a problem that can affect the performance of employees and lecturers who are in the Health Study Program. The increased workload is very likely to cause other problems such as work stress, reduced life balance, engagement and job satisfaction which can have an impact on performance. This study aims to analyze the effect of work stress, work life balance, employee engagement on performance mediated by job satisfaction. This research is a quantitative research. The subjects of this research are educators and education staff at 3 private universities that have study programs in the health sector. The data collection method used primary data obtained through questionnaires. The data analysis technique used SEM (Structural Equation Modeling). The effect of work stress (X1), work life balance (X2), and employee engagement (X3), and job satisfaction (Y) on performance (Z) can be determined by using a regression technique. The mediation hypothesis was tested using the Sobel test
