This research examines how compensation systems, employee motivation, and workplace conditions affect job performance among staff members at the Development Administration and Government Services Procurement Bureau within Maluku Provincial Government. The investigation employed a quantitative methodology with explanatory research design to explore causal relationships among the studied variables. A complete enumeration approach was utilized, encompassing all 47 bureau employees as research subjects. Data gathering was accomplished through structured surveys employing a validated five-point Likert measurement scale, followed by statistical analysis using multiple linear regression techniques via SPSS software with a statistical significance threshold of α = 0.05. Research findings demonstrate that each of the three predictor variables exhibits positive and statistically significant impacts on worker performance outcomes. Compensation systems demonstrated significant influence (t = 2.436, p = 0.019), employee motivation showed significant impact (t = 2.503, p = 0.016), while workplace conditions emerged as the strongest predictor (t = 8.032, p = 0.001). These results underscore the critical importance of establishing equitable remuneration frameworks, fostering employee motivation levels, and developing supportive workplace environments to maximize civil servant productivity and enhance public service delivery effectiveness throughout Maluku Province.
