This study aims to analyze the influence of competence and compensation on teacher performance with work motivation as a mediating variable among civil servant teachers at SMAN 1 Gambiran Banyuwangi. The population of this study consisted of all civil servant teachers at SMAN 1 Gambiran, totaling 58 teachers, with the sampling technique using a saturated sample. Although administratively teacher performance is categorized as good, there are still obstacles in technology mastery and creativity in the learning process. This study employed a quantitative approach using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis assisted by SmartPLS 4.0. Data were collected from civil servant teachers during the period from November 2025 to February 2026. The results of the study indicate that compensation does not directly affect teacher performance, but has a positive and significant effect on work motivation. Teacher competence does not have a significant effect on either work motivation or teacher performance directly. Work motivation is proven to be a significant mediating variable in the relationship between compensation and teacher performance. These findings indicate that teacher performance is more influenced by non-financial factors, such as internal motivation, responsibility, and professional commitment. Therefore, fair and transparent compensation policies are needed, along with strengthening work motivation through the creation of a conducive work environment and an appropriate reward system.
