<![CDATA[This study examines the relationship between education, work tenure, and job placement and the perceived income of civil servants in Pidie Regency, Indonesia. The study employs a quantitative research design using primary data collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 100 civil servants in Kota Sigli, Pidie District, and Mutiara District. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that education has a positive and significant relationship with civil servants’ income (β = 0.301, t = 4.114, p < 0.001). Work tenure also shows a positive and significant relationship with income (β = 0.353, t = 4.707, p < 0.001) and represents the strongest statistical association among the explanatory variables. Similarly, job placement is positively and significantly associated with income (β = 0.326, t = 4.225, p < 0.001). Simultaneously, education, work tenure, and job placement are significantly associated with the income measure, with an R² of 0.738 and an adjusted R² of 0.730. These findings suggest that civil-servant income is associated with a combination of human capital, accumulated employment characteristics, and institutional job allocation. The study recommends strengthening competency-based education and career development, improving person–job fit in civil-servant placement, and aligning compensation with position, responsibility, and applicable regulations. Given the cross-sectional design and perceptual measurement of income, the findings should be interpreted as statistical associations rather than definitive causal effects.]]>
