Impact of Competency, Compensation, and Work Environment on Employee Performance via Work Motivation
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the Influence of Competence, Compensation and Work Environment on Employee Performance Through Work Motivation in the Government Office of Mojokerto City.
Research Methodology: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional method. The study applied census sampling, in which all 40 respondents in the population were used as research samples.
Results: Compensation significantly affected employee performance and motivation, while the work environment and competence significantly affected motivation but not employee performance. Motivation also did not significantly mediate employee performance.
Conclusions: The results showed that compensation significantly affected employee performance and motivation, while the work environment and competence only significantly affected motivation. Motivation did not significantly affect employee performance and could not mediate the relationship between competence, compensation, work environment, and employee performance.
Limitations: This study is limited by a small sample of 40 employees from a single government office and a cross-sectional design, which may affect generalizability and prevent observing performance changes over time.
Contributions: The study highlights the significant role of competency, compensation, and work environment in enhancing employee motivation, and demonstrates that motivation mediates the relationship between HR factors and employee performance. Practically, it offers guidance for managers to improve employee engagement and organizational productivity.
