This study uses an associative quantitative approach with a survey method. The population and sample in this study were 121 permanent employees of the Regional Secretariat of Sorong Regency who were selected using the Slovin technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of the study indicate that: (1) Leadership style does not have a significant effect on employee performance indicating that the leadership style applied is less effective and even hinders performance; (2) Work motivation has a significant effect on indicating that motivation is the main determining factor in the context of procedural bureaucracy; Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect on employee performance. The implications of this study are the importance of transforming leadership styles towards a more participatory and supportive direction, strengthening value-based discipline systems, and revitalizing reward systems that enable motivation to be converted into performance.
