Abstract

Regarding the enactment of Government Regulation No. 30 of 2019 concerning performance appraisal, it turned out that several government organizations in the Bantul Regency government still received bad ratings in terms of performance appraisals. From the evaluation results conducted by the National Civil Service Agency through the Directorate of State Civil Apparatus performance, data obtained that 3.33% of government agencies were very good, 35% of government agencies were good, 50% of government agencies were considered adequate, and 11.7% of government agencies were deemed poor in implementing employee performance management. Along with that research and based on previous research on employees in several regional apparatus organizations in Bantul Regency, it was stated that these employees did not feel any job satisfaction due to the disproportionate compensation they received, which would affect their performance. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of work motivation and compensation on the performance of local government employees with job satisfaction as an intervening variable. The samples involved were local government employees of Bantul Regency, consisting of agency, service, and sub-districts in Bantul. This study employed the convenience sampling method. The type of data used in this study was primary data. Based on the questionnaire distribution, 121 respondents were obtained, but only 120 samples could be processed. The results revealed that work motivation and job satisfaction positively affected the performance of local government employees. However, compensation did not affect local government performance. Motivation and compensation also did not affect local government performance through the intervening variable of job satisfaction. Nevertheless, this research’s limitation is that the research object was only carried out in Bantul Regency regional apparatus organizations, and not all regional apparatus organizations allowed research to be conducted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
