The performance of Government Employees under Work Agreements (ASN PPPK) is a critical determinant of public sector institutional effectiveness, particularly within legislative-supporting bodies such as the Secretariat of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of East Kalimantan Province. Despite its strategic importance, achieving optimal performance among this employee category remains challenging, owing to the complex interplay of behavioral and organizational factors. This study investigates the influence of work discipline, remuneration, and employee motivation on the performance of ASN PPPK at the East Kalimantan Province DPRD Secretariat. Using a quantitative, causal-associative research design, data were collected via structured questionnaires administered to 120 respondents selected via simple random sampling from a population of 172 employees. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS-25, preceded by validity and reliability testing of all measurement instruments. The findings indicate that work discipline, remuneration, and employee motivation each have a positive, statistically significant effect on employee performance. Among the three variables, employee motivation demonstrated the strongest influence, followed by work discipline and remuneration. The simultaneous test confirmed that all independent variables collectively and significantly predict employee performance, with an adjusted R² of 0.685, signifying that 68.5% of the variance in employee performance is accounted for by the model. These results suggest that employee performance is shaped by both structural factors, namely discipline and remuneration, and psychological factors, particularly motivation. The study concludes that enhancing ASN PPPK performance requires an integrated approach that prioritizes strengthening employee motivation, underpinned by robust disciplinary systems and equitable remuneration policies. Future research is encouraged to incorporate additional variables, such as leadership style and organizational culture, to yield a more comprehensive understanding of performance determinants in the public sector context.
