Data analysis includes instrument testing, classical assumption testing, and multiple linear regression. The results of the study show that organizational culture has a positive and significant influence on motivation, and career development is also proven to have a positive and significant influence on motivation. Simultaneously, both variables contribute 44.2 percent to the variation in employee motivation. This study emphasizes the importance of the quality of organizational culture and the clarity of career pathways in encouraging the motivation of public sector employees.
