The research is motivated by the importance of improving ASN performance to achieve a professional, accountable, and results-oriented higher education bureaucracy. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 104 ASN as the research sample. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to examine both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The results indicate that compensation does not have a positive and significant direct effect on ASN performance. However, compensation has a positive and significant effect on work motivation. Work culture has a positive and significant influence on both work motivation and ASN performance. Furthermore, work motivation positively and significantly effect on performance and mediates the relationship between compensation, work culture, and performance. These findings suggest that improving ASN performance is more effectively achieved through strengthening work motivation, supported by a fair compensation system and a positive, conducive work culture.]]>
