MOTIVASI KERJA DAN KOMPENSASI TERHADAP KINERJA PEGAWAI DENGAN PENDEKATAN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT THEORY

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of work motivation and compensation on employee performance at the Manpower, Transmigration, Energy, and Mineral Resources Office of Southwest Papua Province. The main issue addressed in this research is how work motivation and compensation contribute to improving employee performance, particularly within local government agencies. The research employed a quantitative approach with a survey method, collecting data through questionnaires distributed to all employees using a census technique. Data analysis included validity and reliability tests as well as multiple linear regression. The findings show that compensation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while work motivation does not have a statistically significant effect. Simultaneously, both variables influence employee performance significantly, with compensation being the dominant factor. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of managing a fair and competitive compensation system to support employee performance improvement in local government institutions.
