Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership and training on employee performance with work motivation as an intervening variable at the Patumbak Sub-district Office. The approach used was quantitative with a population of 31 respondents who were all sampled through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 25 through validity, reliability, classical assumptions, t-test, F-test, coefficient of determination, and path analysis. The results showed that leadership and training had a positive and significant effect on employee work motivation and performance. In addition, work motivation was also proven to have a positive and significant effect on performance, and acted as an intervening variable between leadership and training on performance. These findings confirm that effective leadership and appropriate training can increase motivation and have a direct impact on improving employee performance in the government environment.

Keywords:  Employee Performance, Leadership, Work Motivation,Training.
