<![CDATA[Employee performance is a key determinant of public sector organizational effectiveness; however, evidence regarding the effect of work motivation and work discipline on performance remains inconsistent, particularly concerning the moderating role of incentive systems. This study aims to analyze the effect of work motivation and work discipline on employee performance and to examine the moderating role of the Employee Income Allowance (Tunjangan Penghasilan Pegawai, TPP) incentive at the Regional Development Planning, Research, and Innovation Agency (BAPPERIDA) of Papua Province. A quantitative approach was employed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 4.1.1.2. Data were collected from 65 employees determined using the Slovin formula. The results show that work motivation had no significant effect on performance, whereas work discipline and the TPP incentive each had a positive and significant effect. The TPP incentive was found to moderate the effects of both motivation and discipline on performance, with a stronger moderating effect on work discipline. The model explained 62.8% of the variance in employee performance. These findings confirm that work compliance and incentive systems are more decisive for performance than motivation alone, positioning incentives as an enabling condition that channels motivation into actual performance. This study offers implications for designing incentive policies and performance improvement strategies in the public sector.]]>
