<![CDATA[This research aims to investigate and analyze the influence of leadership, training, and compensation on employee performance at the Ministry of Education and Culture. The study employs a quantitative approach with a survey method, collecting data through questionnaires distributed to 80 randomly selected respondents from the population. The independent variables in this study are leadership, training, and compensation, while the dependent variable is employee performance. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 29. The results of the data analysis indicate the following findings: First, leadership has a positive and significant impact on employee performance. This finding is supported by statistical significance values showing that the leadership variable significantly affects employee performance within the organization. Second, training does not have a significant effect on employee performance. These results suggest that existing training programs may need further evaluation to enhance their relevance, teaching methods, or other aspects that could support training effectiveness on employee performance. Third, compensation has a positive and significant impact on employee performance. This finding suggests that effective management of compensation systems can be a crucial factor in boosting employee motivation and performance. The implications of this study underscore the importance of effective leadership practices and fair compensation management to support enhanced employee performance in public sector organizations such as the Ministry of Education and Culture. Recommendations include the need for further development in training with a more structured approach and more meticulous evaluation of compensation systems to ensure appropriate recognition and rewards for employee contributions.]]>
