<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effects of competence, motivation, and organizational culture on employee performance at the Department of Industry and Trade of Lubuk Linggau City. This research employed a quantitative approach with a population of 40 employees, all of whom were selected as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method with the assistance of SmartPLS 3. The results indicate that competence has a positive but insignificant effect on employee performance, with an Original Sample value of 0.346, a T-Statistic value of 1.911, and a P-Value of 0.057 (>0.05). Motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, with an Original Sample value of 0.445, a T-Statistic value of 3.347, and a P-Value of 0.001 (<0.05). Meanwhile, organizational culture has a negative and insignificant effect on employee performance, with an Original Sample value of -0.018, a T-Statistic value of 0.112, and a P-Value of 0.911 (>0.05). The R-Square value of 0.437 indicates that the three independent variables explain 43.7% of the variation in employee performance. Motivation is identified as the most dominant factor in improving employee performance.]]>
