Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of transformational leadership, competence, and work environment on the performance of civil servants (PNS) at the Regional Secretariat of Riau Islands Province, with work motivation as an intervening variable. The research applied a quantitative causal-associative approach. The sample was determined using purposive sampling with the Yamane formula, resulting in 142 respondents. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0. The findings reveal that transformational leadership and competence have a positive and significant effect on performance, both directly and through work motivation. The work environment has no significant direct effect on performance but exerts a positive and significant effect on work motivation. Furthermore, work motivation serves as an intervening variable mediating the effects of transformational leadership, competence, and work environment on performance. These results highlight the critical role of leadership, competence, and supportive work conditions in enhancing civil servants’ motivation and performance.
