Abstract

This Grobogan Regency is one of Central Java districts with low PAD (Regional Original Income) compared to other districts. It has resulted in the local government’s low ability to provide benefits, so it is feared that it will affect civil servants’ work motivation, which in turn impacts their performance quality that is not optimal. This condition is also worsened by several studies’ findings, which reported that the leader’s role was not optimal in providing work motivation to the civil servants in the Grobogan Regency. Therefore, this research is intended to identify the leadership role in influencing civil servants’ performance and compensation of 25 SKPDs (Local Government Units) mediated by employee motivation. To measure the leadership variable, this research used a questionnaire from Hersey and Blanchard, the compensation variable questionnaire was adopted from Wibowo, the performance variable was from Gomes, while the motivation variable took the questionnaires from Mc Clelland. The analytical tool utilized was SEM with 140 samples. The analysis results revealed that leadership, compensation, and motivation influenced civil servants’ performance in Purwodadi Sub-district, Grobogan Regency. Leadership was also reported to impact civil servants’ work motivation, but compensation did not affect work motivation. Data analysis results also showed that the motivation variable did not become a mediating variable, which indicated that leadership and compensation directly influenced performance without going through employee’s work motivation.
