Public sector employee performance is influenced by various factors, including compensation, career development, and work motivation. Effective human resource management is essential to improve the quality of public service delivery. This study aimed to analyze the effects of compensation and career development on employee performance, with work motivation as a mediating variable, among employees of Regional Government Organizations under the Coordination of the Assistant for General Administration of the Regional Secretariat of Jepara Regency. This study employed a quantitative research design with a causal approach. A total of 120 employees were selected using purposive sampling from a population of 171 employees. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS software. The analysis included validity, reliability, goodness-of-fit, and hypothesis testing. The results showed that compensation had a positive and significant effect on both work motivation and employee performance. Career development also had a positive and significant effect on work motivation and was identified as the most dominant factor influencing employee performance. Furthermore, work motivation had a positive and significant effect on employee performance and mediated the relationships between compensation, career development, and employee performance. In conclusion, improving employee performance can be achieved through a fair compensation system, well-planned career development, and strengthened work motivation as key strategies for human resource management in the public sector.
