Abstract

Employee performance is a key indicator in determining the success of public service institutions in achieving organizational goals. The Medan City Labor Office, as a government agency responsible for employment affairs, is required to continuously improve the quality of its human resources. However, challenges such as limited career development opportunities and low work motivation may affect employee performance. This study aims to analyze the effect of career development and work motivation on employee performance at the Medan City Labor Office. The study uses a quantitative approach with a population of 58 civil servant employees. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, along with partial tests (t-test), simultaneous tests (F-test), and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that career development has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, as indicated by a significance value below 0.05 and t-count greater than t-table. Likewise, work motivation also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence employee performance, supported by the F-test results. The coefficient of determination (R²) indicates that career development and work motivation contribute 41.3% to employee performance, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors outside this study. These findings suggest that improving structured career development programs and strengthening employee motivation are essential strategies to enhance performance in government institutions.
