This study aims to determine and analyze the influences of work motivation, leadership, and work environment on employee performance at the mentioned local government agency. This quantitative research used a survey employing a questionnaire as a research instrument. Of 108 public officers became the sample. Multiple regression tests analyzed data with the help of SPSS software. The results showed that 1) there was a significant influence of motivation on employee performance, 2) there was a significant effect of leadership on employee performance, 3) there was a significant effect of the work environment on employee performance, and 4) motivation was the most dominant factor in affecting employee performance at the observed local government agency.
