Abstract

Work motivation and career development are important factors that influence employee performance in government environments. This study aims to analyze the influence of career development and work motivation on employee performance Transportation Agency. The research population consisted of 124 employees, and a sample of 40 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. Data collection involved interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, utilizing both primary and secondary data. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 26. The findings show that career development and work motivation simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Effective career development such as structured training, clear career paths, and skill development opportunities enhances employee motivation and responsibility, which in turn improves organizational productivity. Meanwhile, strong work motivation, whether intrinsic or extrinsic, also contributes positively to performance. When both variables are optimized together, employees tend to demonstrate higher productivity, discipline, and goal orientation. The results highlight the importance of managerial strategies in developing employee potential and sustaining motivation. Organizations, particularly in the public sector, must prioritize career development and motivational strategies to ensure consistent performance improvement and the achievement of institutional goals.
