This research endeavors to investigate how competence, job satisfaction, and workplace environment affect employee motivation at the Forestry Service UPT KPH in Belu and Malaka Regencies. A quantitative methodology was implemented through survey techniques, distributing questionnaires to 42 participants. The sampling approach utilized was saturated sampling, wherein the complete population functioned as the sample. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression via SPSS 24, encompassing validity assessment, reliability assessment, classical assumption testing, t-tests, F-tests, and coefficient of determination. The outcomes demonstrate that (1) competence exerts a positive and significant impact on work motivation; (2) job satisfaction does not meaningfully influence work motivation; and (3) workplace environment positively and significantly affects work motivation. Collectively, these three independent variables substantially influence work motivation, evidenced by an Adjusted R Square value of 0.581, indicating that 58.1% of work motivation variance is accounted for by competence, job satisfaction, and workplace environment. These findings imply that bolstering employee competence and enhancing the workplace environment may function as effective approaches for elevating work motivation.
