Abstract

This study aims to examine the extent to which anxiety and work competence influence the work spirit of employees who carry out the procurement process of goods and services and to examine the role of work motivation as a mediator between the relationship between anxiety and work competence and work spirit. Data were obtained through questionnaires distributed to 117 respondents in 28 regional government organizations of Pariaman City. The study's findings show anxiety has a positive effect on work spirit through work motivation, and work competence does not have a positive impact on work spirit through work motivation.
