Abstract


Enhancement of public institution performance does not depend solely on administrative system and procedural but also about the strength of values underlying behavior. This research aims to test the effect of organizational culture and compensation on performance thorough motivation as a mediating variable by using a shariah valued public management approach. The study was conducted at the ad hoc body General Election Commission (KPU) Mojokerto City Boa... consisting of sub-district election committee (PPK) and voting committee (PPS) in 2024 election. This research used an explanatory quantitative design based on a survey, with data collection through questionnaires to 69 respondents, as well as analysis using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that organizational culture has positive and significant effects on motivation (ß = 0.404, p < 0.001) and performance (ß = 0.269, p = 0.009). Compensation has positive and significant effects on motivation (ß = 0.410, p < 0.001), but it has no direct effect on performance (ß = 0.120, p = 0.151). Motivation has positive and significant effects on performance (ß = 0.483, p < 0.001), and is shown to mediate the relationship between organizational culture and performance (indirect effect = 0.195, p = 0.009) and between compensation and performance (indirect effect = 0.198, p = 0.008). These findings confirm motivation as a psychological and moral mechanism that connects your culture compensation system to performance in public organizations. In shariah values context, work culture based on justice, responsibility, and integrity is able to foster continuous intrinsic motivation. This research contributes to strengthening shariah values public management theory and has practical implications for human resources policy development in public institutions to be more oriented towards ethical and spiritual values that can increase performance in a sustainable manner.
