This study aims to determine the simultaneous and partial influence of strategic leadership variables and employee motivation on employee performance. This research belongs to a quantitative type of research using descriptive and verificative research methods. Description means describing variable conditions based on the respondent's perception. In contrast, verificative is based on hypothesis testing and the magnitude of influence given by leadership variables and motivation to employee performance, while the analysis method uses path analysis. The study results prove descriptively that the overall leadership condition is indicated sufficiently. However, there are still indicators that are below the expected value, namely the horizontal communication system, for the findings of motivational variables indicated sufficiently, but still, the finding of indicators that are not optimal, namely regarding adequate benefits, while the overall performance of employees is sufficient, but there are still weaknesses of the speed indicator for response to the public regarding complaints, suggestions and criticisms. Verifiably found the contribution of influence simultaneously from the variables of leadership and motivation to employee performance. In addition, it was also found that the partial influence contribution of leadership and motivation variables to employee performance was found.
