The study population was all employees of the Community and Village Empowerment Office of West Tanjung Jabung Regency, with a sample of 49 respondents determined using a sampling technique based on the characteristics of the study population. Data were collected through questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using path analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 22 to test the direct and indirect effects between variables. The results showed that leadership style had a positive and significant effect on employee motivation. Organizational culture also had a positive and significant effect on motivation. Furthermore, leadership style and organizational culture were proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Motivation had a positive and significant effect on employee performance and was able to mediate the influence of leadership style and organizational culture on employee performance. The research findings indicate that improving leadership quality and strengthening organizational culture are important factors in increasing motivation, which ultimately impacts employee performance. Therefore, organizations need to implement a participatory leadership style and build a conducive organizational culture to encourage employee motivation and optimize performance.
