The research method used a descriptive quantitative approach using a census technique involving 65 civil servants at the Jember Regency Human Resources Development Agency (BKPSDM).

The results show that digital competence and adaptive capabilities significantly influence employee engagement, digital competence and employee engagement significantly influence employee performance, while adaptive capabilities do not directly influence performance. However, digital competence and adaptive capabilities significantly influence performance through employee engagement as a mediating variable. The conclusion is that employee engagement plays a key role in transforming digital competence and adaptive capabilities into improved employee performance. Therefore, simultaneously strengthening digital competence, adaptive capabilities, and engagement-enhancing strategies are necessary to optimize civil servant performance in the era of digital transformation.
