Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of education level on employee performance at the Katingan Kuala Sub-District Office in Katingan Regency. Education is considered one of the factors influencing human resource quality in the public sector, with more educated employees tending to exhibit higher analytical competence and productivity. Utilizing a quantitative approach and survey technique, data were collected from 18 employees. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to identify the relationship between education level and employee performance. The results indicate that education level significantly affects employee performance, with higher-educated employees demonstrating better performance. Additionally, work experience strengthens the effect of education on performance. This research provides insights for local governments in designing human resource development policies, especially in improving public service quality through enhancing employees’ formal education.
