Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of bureaucratic leadership on employee performance within the government sector. The research method used is quantitative with a survey approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 150 civil servants across various government agencies. Data analysis was performed using linear regression to examine the relationship between the independent variable (bureaucratic leadership) and the dependent variable (employee performance). The results of the study indicate that bureaucratic leadership has a significant impact on employee performance. Leadership dimensions such as decision-making, communication, and motivation have been proven to positively affect employee performance. Additionally, this research found that other factors such as the work environment and workload also play a role in moderating the relationship between leadership and employee performance. This study provides practical implications for leaders in government institutions to enhance their leadership quality to improve employee performance. It is hoped that the results of this research can serve as a basis for the development of more effective policies and training programs in managing human resources in the public sector.
