Work Motivation as a Mediator between Competence and Work Discipline on Employee Performance

The competition among clinics in Sukabumi requires the Gema Medical Center Group to manage quality human resources (HR) capable of enhancing the company’s welfare. This study aims to analyze the impact of competence and work discipline on employee performance through work motivation at the Gema Medical Center Group in Sukabumi. The research subjects consisted of 68 employees from the clinic who were selected as samples. This study is descriptive and verificative in nature. Data collection mechanisms involved both literature studies and field studies. Ordinal data were converted into interval-scaled metric data. The instrument testing methods included validity tests, reliability tests, and classical assumption tests. Data analysis utilized descriptive analysis, verificative analysis, path analysis, and Sobel Test for intervening variables, using IBM SPSS Version 25.00. The research results indicate that competence is rated as poor, work discipline is rated as fairly good, work motivation is fairly high, and employee performance is high. Both directly and indirectly, competence and work discipline have a positive impact on employee performance through work motivation.
