Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of human resource empowerment on employee performance with extrinsic motivation as a mediator. The type of research used is explanatory research with a quantitative approach. The population in this study consists of all human resources in the HR Bureau of the Kepulauan Riau Police, totaling 73 personnel, and the sampling technique used is census sampling, so the sample consists of all personnel. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire with a statement interval of 1-5, ranging from "Strongly Disagree" (STS) to "Strongly Agree" (SS). Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results of this study show that human resource empowerment has a positive and significant effect on both extrinsic motivation and employee performance. These findings indicate that the more effective the empowerment efforts, the higher the motivation and performance of employees. In addition, extrinsic motivation was found to positively and significantly contribute to employee performance, showing that external factors play an important role in improving work productivity.
