This study aims to analyze the influence of work discipline and intrinsic motivation on the performance of nagari officials, both directly and through job satisfaction as an intervening variable. The study employs a quantitative approach with a survey design. The population—which also served as the sample—consisted of 62 nagari officials in Mapat Tunggul District, Pasaman Regency, selected using a census technique. Data were collected via questionnaires distributed to all respondents and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), involving outer model assessment, inner model assessment, and hypothesis testing. The results indicate that work discipline and intrinsic motivation have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on performance. Work discipline and intrinsic motivation also have a positive and significant effect on performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction mediates the influence of work discipline and intrinsic motivation on the performance of nagari officials. These findings demonstrate that work discipline and intrinsic motivation are linked to the performance of nagari officials, both directly and through job satisfaction as an intervening variable
