High-quality human resources are linked to the performance whether individual or group-based of employees within an organization. Human resource quality is closely tied to performance. This study aims to analyze the influence of employee competence, democratic leadership style, and work motivation on employee performance. Employing an explanatory research approach, the study was conducted at the Regional Secretariat Office of Mojokerto City between April and August 2023. The population consisted of 108 civil servants at the office, and a census sampling technique was used to include the entire population (108 individuals) in the sample. Primary data regarding the research variables were obtained by administering questionnaires directly to the respondents. Once collected, the data were analyzed using WarpPLS 8, following preliminary validity and reliability testing. The results demonstrate that employee competence has a significant positive effect on work motivation; democratic leadership style has a significant positive effect on work motivation; employee competence has a significant positive effect on employee performance; democratic leadership style has a significant positive effect on employee performance; and work motivation has a significant positive effect on employee performance. However, work motivation did not enhance the influence of employee competence and democratic leadership style on employee performance. To improve employee performance, the Regional Secretariat Office of Mojokerto City is advised to focus on the influencing variables: work motivation, employee competence, and democratic leadership style
