Based on the analysis of primary data using SPSS 22, the following multiple testing rules regression equation was obtained : Y=20.303+0.329X₁+0.224X₂+e. The hypothesis testing results show taht, partially, the work discipline variable (X₁) has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, as indicated by the t-value being greater than the t-table value. The work motivation Variable (X₂) also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, evidanced by the t-value exceeding the t-table value. Simultaneously, work discipline and motivation have a significant influence on employee performance, as shown by the F-value being greater the F-table value.
