The number of employees used as the research sample is 60 people, and the research uses saturated sampling. Multiple regression analysis and the t and F tests were used to test the hypothesis. The instrument was tested first to ensure that the questionnaire items were valid and reliable. Then, instrument testing is done through validity and reliability tests. The results showed that adapting career and work motivation affects employee performance either partially or simultaneously. Research findings indicate that organizational leaders need to socialize about the possibility of employee career development and contribute to employee career advancement. In addition, it provides a stimulus and works motivation to improve employee performance.
