<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the influence of career development and work motivation on employee performance, with leadership serving as a mediating variable at PT WOM Finance, Gorontalo Branch. The research is motivated by several key issues, including unequal distribution of training, fluctuating levels of work motivation, and branch performance that consistently falls below corporate targets. A quantitative approach was employed using a saturated sample of 46 employees. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression and the Sobel Test to assess mediation effects. The findings indicate that career development and work motivation have positive and significant effects on employee performance. Both variables also significantly influence leadership, and leadership itself significantly affects employee performance. However, the Sobel Test results demonstrate that leadership does not mediate the effect of career development or work motivation on employee performance. These findings suggest that improvements in performance are driven primarily by the direct effects of career development and work motivation, while leadership does not function as an intervening variable in these relationships]]>
