Abstract

Employee performance is a key element in achieving effective public service delivery, particularly in government institutions where human resource management quality determines organizational effectiveness. This study aims to examine the influence of work motivation and leadership on employee performance at the Medan Maimun District Office. A quantitative associative research design was employed, involving 55 employees selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through multiple linear regression analysis, partial hypothesis testing, simultaneous hypothesis testing, and coefficient of determination analysis. The results indicate that work motivation significantly affects employee performance with a t-value of 13.797 and a significance value of 0.000, while leadership significantly affects employee performance with a t-value of 3.514 and a significance value of 0.001. Furthermore, work motivation and leadership simultaneously influence employee performance with an F-value of 399.292 and a significance value of 0.000, while explaining 93.7% of the variation in employee performance. This study contributes empirical evidence regarding the importance of motivational factors and leadership practices in improving employee performance within public sector organizations. The findings imply that government institutions should strengthen employee motivation programs and improve leadership effectiveness as part of sustainable human resource development strategies.
