This research uses associative quantitative research methods with a survey approach. Data collection was carried out through distributing questionnaires to 70 respondents selected based on education level using disproportionate stratified random sampling technique from a total population of 229 employees.

Furthermore, the acquisition of the correlation coefficient value is obtained at 0.424 (kendall's tau-b) and 0.537 (spearman rho) which indicates that the two variables studied are quite strongly and positively related. Then the acquisition of the coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.318 or equivalent to 31.8% which means that the Educational Background variable (X) has an influence contribution to the competency variable (Y) of 31.8%, while the remaining 68.2% is influenced by other variables outside the variables studied in this study.
