This study was motivated by the finding that some school administrative staff have not been fully able to complete their tasks optimally. This condition is thought to be caused by low levels of competence in several important aspects, such as technical, managerial, and interpersonal skills. Based on this, this study was conducted to analyze the effect of competence on the performance of school administrative staff. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The subjects in this study were all administrative staff of UPT SMA Negeri 1 Wajo, totaling 22 people. Data collection was carried out through a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially using a simple linear regression test with the help of the SPSS version 30.0 program. The results of the study showed that the competence of administrative staff was in the "good" category with a percentage of 79%, and the performance of administrative staff was also in the "good" category with a percentage of 81%. The results of the simple linear regression analysis showed that there was a positive and significant influence between competence and the performance of administrative staff, with a significance value of 0.021 (<0.05) and a regression coefficient of 0.607. This means that the higher the competence of administrative staff, the higher the performance shown.
