<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership and competency on the performance of civil servants at the Regional Secretariat of Sumedang Regency. The background of this research is the observed low level of effectiveness and work productivity among government employees, which is allegedly influenced by poor leadership quality and suboptimal technical and behavioral competencies. This is a quantitative explanatory research using simple and multiple linear regression analysis. Data were collected through questionnaires from 65 respondents using a census technique. The results show that both leadership and competency have significant partial and simultaneous effects on performance, with a combined coefficient of determination (R²) of 70.7%. These findings highlight the importance of integrating leadership quality and employee competence in systematically enhancing public bureaucratic performance. Strategic recommendations are provided for strengthening merit-based HR development policies, transformational leadership training, and digitalized performance evaluations.]]>
