Competence and Work Discipline on Employee Performance: The Role of Work Motivation
Keywords:
Competence, Work Discipline, Work Motivation, Employee PerformanceAbstract
This study examined the effects of competence and work discipline on employee performance, with work motivation as an intervening variable among village government employees in Maron District, Probolinggo Regency. The study used a quantitative approach and analyzed primary questionnaire data from 126 respondents using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The measurement model showed that the indicators met convergent and discriminant validity requirements, while all constructs achieved composite reliability above 0.70. The structural model indicated that competence significantly affected work motivation (path coefficient 0.993; p=0.001), as did work discipline (0.850; p=0.001). Work motivation significantly affected employee performance (0.951; p=0.001), while competence (0.732; p=0.002) and work discipline (0.889; p=0.001) also had significant direct effects. Indirect effects through work motivation were 0.944 for competence (p=0.001) and 0.808 for work discipline (p=0.018).
