Using the use of work satisfaction as a mediator, this study seeks to compare the direct and indirect effects of competency characteristics on employee performancebecause to improve employee performance the steps taken must be effective and efficient with strong evidence. According to Usman (2012), competence is defined as anything that both qualitatively and quantitatively represents a person's qualities or talents. Many researches have shown that competence has an impact on both employee performance and job satisfaction. Employee performance is influenced by job satisfaction as well, and it is considered that job satisfaction may be able to mediate the impact of competence on employee performance. There are 70 employees in total, and path analysis techniques are being used to determine which path, considering both direct and indirect affects, is the most effective. The study's findings indicate that every variable falls within the "high" category. The study's findings also demonstrate that all regression lines have positive values, demonstrating the existence of both a direct and indirect effect. Based on the comparison of the regression values, it was determined that competence had a direct effect on employee performance at the East Belitung Regency Culture and Tourism Office, with the direct effect value being higher than the indirect effect.
