Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of reward and punishment on the This study aims to analyze the effect of regular promotion pathways and reward systems on the performance of police officers at the Central Kalimantan Regional Police. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 150 police officers who met the research criteria. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that regular promotion pathways have a positive and significant effect on police officers' performance. The reward system also has a positive and significant effect on performance. Furthermore, the findings reveal that the reward system strengthens the effect of regular promotion pathways on police officers' performance. The high R-Square value indicates that the research model has strong explanatory power, while the Q-Square value demonstrates excellent predictive relevance. This study concludes that improving police officers' performance can be achieved through transparent and fair promotion pathways supported by an effective reward system. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for the Indonesian National Police, particularly in formulating human resource management policies oriented toward performance improvement.
