Employee performance is an important factor in supporting organizational effectiveness; therefore, it is necessary to identify factors that can improve performance. This research design uses a quantitative approach with a causal-comparative research type. The population in this study consisted of all Civil Servants (PNS) working at BPSDM of South Sulawesi Province, totaling 130 employees. This study applied a census method by involving all members of the population as research respondents. The data analysis technique used in this study was Partial Least Squares (PLS) to examine the relationships among variables in the research model. The results of the study indicate that employee competence has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, meaning that the higher the competence possessed by employees, the better the performance produced.
