Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of motivation on employee performance at the East Aceh Regency Plantation and Livestock Office. The research method used a quantitative approach with a saturated sample of 80 respondents. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results of the study prove that motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance with a t-count value of 4.840 > t-table of 1.664 and a significance of 0.000 < 0.05. These findings indicate that an increase in work motivation will be followed by a real improvement in employee performance. This study emphasizes the importance of leaders' attention to motivational aspects such as the provision of responsibility, recognition of achievements, and opportunities for self-development as a strategy to improve employee performance.
