In the current era of globalization, companies need employees with high work competence that aligns with the demands of the times. Furthermore, competence, work motivation, job satisfaction, and compensation significantly influence improvements in employee performance. Employee performance is a crucial factor in supporting organizational effectiveness and achieving company objectives. This study aims to determine the influence of competence, work motivation, job satisfaction, and compensation on employee performance. The study used a quantitative design and included the entire workforce of 100 employees. A census sampling method was employed, with data collected through a closed-ended questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS. The results indicate that competence, work motivation, job satisfaction, and compensation, both individually and simultaneously, have an impact on employee performance. These findings conclude that strengthening employee competence, motivation, satisfaction, and appropriate compensation is important for improving employee performance. The study implies that company management should develop integrated human resource strategies through competency development, motivational support, job satisfaction enhancement, and fair compensation policies.
