In the context of land governance, the role of ASN is operationalized through the National Land Agency (BPN) as an institution that has a special mandate in agrarian Therefore, professionalism and integrity of ASN are crucial factors in supporting the realization of transparent, fair, and sustainable land governance. The National Land Agency (BPN) is a non-ministerial government agency that is directly responsible to the President and has the authority to organize government affairs in the land sector nationally, regionally, and As a public service provider. BPN plays a role in formulating policies and providing services that touch various stakeholders, including the general public, legal entities, social institutions, and government agencies. In an effort to improve the quality of services. BPN implements innovations The implementation of BPN's duties at the regional level is realized through technical implementing units, such as the South Tangerang City Land Office, which is the spearhead in providing effective, transparent, and accountable land services. The South Tangerang City Land Office as a technical implementing unit of the National Land Agency (BPN) has a strategic role in handling land issues and improving the quality of public One of the main focuses in supporting the success of this task is the development of human resources (HR) through increasing abilities, skills, creativity, exemplary behavior, and Increasing capacity is an essential factor in ensuring the smooth implementation of organizational tasks and in meeting public expectations for fair, efficient, and transparent services. However. HR development will not be optimal without fair and responsive treatment from management. Injustice in the work environment can reduce employee motivation, discipline, and Therefore, fulfilling basic employee needs, such as work satisfaction and motivation, must be a primary concern. Improving the quality of HR at the South Tangerang City Land Office not only encourages contributes to the achievement of national development goals. One important indicator in measuring this success is the level of employee motivation which can be identified through a systematic initial survey.

Each concept improving employee performance at has deep relevance to the objectives of the South Tangerang City Land Office. this study, which aims to analyze the These four factors are interrelated in influence of these factors on employee creating a productive and professional work environment. Motivation drives management as a discipline is work enthusiasm, discipline ensures recognized as a process that involves order, competence supports technical planning, organizing, directing, and capabilities, and work effectiveness controlling resources to achieve reflects optimal results. The application predetermined goals (Nurhikmah, of theory-based managerial principles Human resource management also helps strengthen the organization's (HRM) plays an important role in the success in providing quality public management and utilization of the workforce to support organizational However.

High motivation will encourage employees to work more enthusiastically and efficiently, which in turn increases their work effectiveness. In addition, work discipline has an equally important role in ensuring that employees work in accordance with the rules set by the organization. Good work discipline will create a conducive work atmosphere, minimize violations, and increase work productivity (Rahmi et al. , 2. In this case, preventive discipline focuses on efforts to prevent violations by raising awareness among employees to comply with existing rules, while corrective discipline aims to provide sanctions for violations that have occurred, in the hope of (Bronsther, 2. Another important performance is competence, which refers to an individual's ability to carry out their duties effectively. This competence includes the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to achieve the expected performance standards (Kumala et al. , 2. High employee competence will have a direct impact on improving performance, because competent employees will be able to complete tasks with better quality and in a shorter time. In terms of work effectiveness, it refers to the extent to which employees or organizations can achieve their stated goals by optimally using available resources (Sedarmayanti et , 2. Work effectiveness can be measured from several indicators, including understanding the programs implemented, accuracy of targets, timeliness of implementation, and achievement of stated goals (Russ-Eft et , 2. Therefore, work effectiveness is not only seen from the final results achieved, but also from the process and how all elements of the organization function well to achieve these goals. Employee performance, which is one of the most dominant aspects in this study, is closely related to the work results achieved by employees in carrying out their duties and Performance can be measured by looking at the quality and quantity of work, as well as the timeliness of its completion (Khairizah. Performance assessments do not only focus on the results achieved, but also include how the process is carried out, whether in accordance with the procedures and standards set by the organization (Sahoo et al. , 2. The factors that performance are very diverse, ranging motivation, to support from superiors and a conducive work environment. For example, employees who have . will find it easier to achieve the expected work results, while employees who are well motivated will be more enthusiastic in achieving organizational goals (Mangkunegara.

In contrast, another study by Kahpi . showed that organizational climate and work ethic have a significant effect on performance effectiveness, although work discipline does not have a direct More recent research by Suwanto . also found that work discipline has a significant effect on employee performance, with work motivation playing an important role in increasing performance effectiveness. Based on this literature review, it can be concluded that the influence of work motivation, work discipline, competence, and work effectiveness on employee performance is very large and interrelated. This study aims to further examine the relationship between these factors, as well as identify the role of each factor in improving employee performance in an organization. The results of the study are expected to provide a significant contribution to human resource management and improve the effectiveness of the organization as a METHOD The research method used in this study was designed to collect and analyze data to answer research questions related to the influence of work motivation, work discipline, competence, and work effectiveness on employee performance at the South Tangerang City Land Office. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey research design. This survey research was chosen because it allows researchers to collect representative distributed to employees, so that it can provide a clear picture of the phenomenon being studied. This quantitative method emphasizes more on collecting data in the form of numbers to be analyzed statistically, with the aim of testing the relationship objectively and measurably (Arikunto. This research was conducted at the South Tangerang City Land Office, an agency that focuses on land certificate services, which has a vision to realize trusted and world-standard land and space management (Priadana et al. This research was conducted for three months, starting from March 20 to May 30, 2025, with structured stages. In the first stage, preparations were made including the distribution of presurvey questionnaires, interviews with a number of employees, literature reviews, and the preparation of research proposals. The second stage is the implementation of the research, which involves the distribution of tabulation, and data processing. The final stage is the discussion of the research results, the preparation of conclusions, suggestions, and revision of the research report (Sugiyono, 2. The analytical method used in this study is path analysis, which allows testing the influence between variables partially or simultaneously (Hair et al. Path analysis is used to identify the extent to which work motivation (X. , work discipline (X. , and competence (X. influence work effectiveness (Y), and how work performance (Z). In this case, path analysis provides a more in-depth and detailed picture of the causal relationship between variables, so that it can provide a better understanding Kontigensi: Jurnal Ilmiah Manajemen Management Science Doctoral Program.

No. Juni 2025, pp. ISSN 2088-4877 of the mechanism of influence that occurs (Creswell et al. , 2. This quantitative approach relies heavily on data collected through research instruments in the form of employees at the South Tangerang City Land Office. Data obtained through questionnaires will be analyzed using SmartPLS 3. 0 software. SmartPLS is software for variance-based structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis used to test the relationship between variables in research (Ghozali, 2. The use of SmartPLS is very appropriate for this study, considering the characteristics of the data that are not always normal and the relatively small number of samples, where PLS can overcome the problem of multicollinearity between independent variables and can produce efficient results even though the sample is small (Weaving et al. , 2. This study also uses a Likert scale in respondents' attitudes, opinions, and perceptions related to the variables This Likert scale is used to respondents agree or disagree with the statements submitted, with five answer choices, ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree" (Pugu et , 2. In data analysis, validity and reliability tests will be carried out to instruments used can measure the intended constructs appropriately. Convergent validity will be examined using loading factors, while reliability will be tested using Composite Reliability and Cronbach's Alpha to ensure the internal consistency of each construct measured (Ghozali, 2. Model testing is done using bootstrapping techniques to test the significance of the influence between variables in the structural model. Significance testing is done to find out whether the influence between the dependent variables is significant, and this will be done with a bootstrapping procedure that can produce a t-statistic value to test the research hypothesis. this case, a t-statistic value greater than 96 indicates that the influence between the variables is significant at a significance level of 5%. This study used a sample of 105 respondents selected using the Simple Random Sampling technique, which ensures that every employee at the South Tangerang City Land Office has an equal opportunity to be selected as a This sampling technique is used to avoid bias in sample selection and to ensure that the samples taken can represent the entire population of existing employees (Sugiyono, 2. Thus, this study is expected to provide a better understanding of the influence competence, and work effectiveness on employee performance at the South Tangerang City Land Office and provide relevant recommendations for improving employee performance at the agency.

Its influence 3%, while the remaining 7% is influenced by other factors not explained in this study. This shows that motivation has a fairly large role in effectiveness, which of course has an impact on better performance. However, although motivation has a significant impact on work effectiveness, work discipline and competence do not show a significant influence on work effectiveness at the South Tangerang City Land Office. This shows that although both are important in the context of work, they do not directly contribute to improving employee work effectiveness in this In addition, although work discipline has a significant effect on employee performance, its contribution is quite large, reaching 99. Thus, this factor is an important element in Related to competence, the results of the study indicate that competence does not have a significant effect on employee performance, either directly or through work effectiveness.
