Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the direct and indirect influence of competency and employee placement on performance through job satisfaction at the East Java Women’s Empowerment, Child Protection, and Population Office (DP3AK).

Research Methodology: The research approach was quantitative. The research data were collected using a survey method with a Likert scale questionnaire. The sampling technique was carried out purposively using the Slovin formula. The analysis technique uses the Structural Equation Model (SEM) PLS-SEM version 4.1.9.

Results: The results of the study show that there is a direct and significant influence of employee competence and employee placement on employee performance at the DP3AK Office in East Java Province. Job satisfaction significantly mediates the influence of employee competence and placement on employee performance in the DP3AK Office of East Java Province.

Conclusions: This study shows that employee competence and placement directly impact performance at the East Java DP3AK Office, with job satisfaction serving as a significant mediator in this relationship.

Limitations: The study focuses on a single government office in East Java, limiting generalizability. The small sample size of 67 employees may not fully represent the broader population, and other external factors influencing performance were not considered.

Contributions: This research highlights the role of employee competence and placement in performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating factor, offering insights for improving human resource practices in public organizations.
