Abstract

This study explores the factors influencing work motivation among civil servants (PNS) in Makassar, specifically focusing on job satisfaction, recognition and reward, career development, and work environment. The research findings show that all four factors significantly contribute to enhancing work motivation. Statistical analysis revealed that job satisfaction had a positive effect on work motivation (β = 0.556, p = 0.000), recognition and reward also showed a significant effect (β = 0.264, p = 0.000), career development had a strong positive impact (β = 0.443, p = 0.000), and work environment similarly had a positive effect on work motivation (β = 0.424, p = 0.000). These results emphasize the critical role of fostering a supportive work environment and providing career development opportunities to enhance the motivation of civil servants. This study contributes to the existing literature by offering valuable insights into the factors that drive work motivation in the public sector and provides practical recommendations for improving public service delivery.
