This research seeks to examine the impact of the planned single salary system and self-efficacy on employee performance, with job satisfaction acting as an intervening variable, at the BPS-Statistics of Langkat Regency. Adopting a quantitative research design, the study involved all civil servants at the BPS-Statistics of Langkat Regency, totaling 39 respondents. Data collection was conducted through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling via Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that both the anticipated implementation of the single salary system and self-efficacy positively and significantly influence job satisfaction and employee performance. Additionally, job satisfaction itself significantly enhances employee performance and functions as a mediating variable that strengthens the relationship between self-efficacy and performance. Conversely, job satisfaction does not significantly mediate the relationship between the planned single salary system and employee performance. These results suggest that enhancing employee performance is not solely reliant on compensation policies, but is substantially shaped by individual psychological factors in conjunction with job satisfaction. The study provides practical insights for BPS management in developing more effective and sustainable human resource policies.
