Abstract
This study aims to examine the influence of achievement motivation and the quality of human resources on employee performance, both directly and indirectly through the mediating role of organizational commitment. The research was conducted as a case study at the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency of Pemalang Regency. The population consisted of all 51 employees of the agency, with a saturated sampling technique employed, thereby involving the entire population as the research sample. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The findings reveal that both achievement motivation and human resource quality have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Additionally, achievement motivation and human resource quality each positively and significantly influence organizational commitment. Organizational commitment, in turn, has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, organizational commitment is found to mediate the relationship between achievement motivation and employee performance, as well as between human resource quality and employee performance.
