performance mediated by motivation in the Agricultural Development Polytechnic Malang. This research used a
qualitiative method. The data was collected using questionnaire, and the technique used in taking the sample was
Stratified Random Sampling. The sample comprised all employee Agricultural Development Polytechnic Malang.
The total respondents were 104 people. The data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Square (PLS)
Method by employing 3.0 SmartPLS program. The research results showed that all the hypotheses put forward
were corroborated except the one dealing with motivation. motivation did not have a significant effect on employee
performance because the existence of some compensation in the form of self-development is not felt by all
employees. In addition, compensation in the form of self-development is often not in accordance with the needs of
employees. While work motivation has a role as a mediating variable on the effect of compensation on employee
performance. Thus it can be said that motivation bridges the effect of compensation on employee performance.
