This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of work discipline and organizational commitment on employee performance through work motivation and the mediating role of work motivation. The research sample consisted of 122 employees at the Marine, Fisheries, Agriculture, and Food Service of Lhokseumawe City. Path analysis using SEM-AMOS showed that work discipline and organizational commitment significantly increased employee work motivation and performance. Furthermore, this study revealed the important role of work motivation as a full mediator between work discipline and performance, as well as a partial mediator between organizational commitment and performance. These findings provide significant empirical contributions to the existing literature on factors that influence employee performance in the public sector, especially in the context of local government.
