Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effect of training and human resource development on employee performance with work motivation as a mediating variable. This research employs a quantitative approach using descriptive and verificative methods, where data were collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents and analyzed using regression and mediation tests. The results indicate that training and development have a positive and significant effect on employee performance and also positively influence work motivation. Furthermore, work motivation significantly affects employee performance and is proven to mediate the relationship between training and development and employee performance. These findings suggest that improving employee performance is not only influenced by competency development through training but also by psychological factors such as work motivation; therefore, organizations need to implement an integrative human resource management strategy that considers both competency and motivation simultaneously.
