This research is descriptive quantitative research with a correlation design that aims to determine the influence of placement and work motivation on employee performance at the Gorontalo Province Social Service Office. The results of this research show that: 1) The test results show that the t-count value for the placement variable is greater than the t-table (2.858 > 0.677). So, Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted, meaning that there is a positive influence from the placement variable on the employee performance variable partially (individually). 2) The test results show that the t-count value of the motivation variable is greater than t-table (6.848 > 0.677). So, Ho is rejected and H2 is accepted, meaning that there is a positive influence of the motivation variable on the employee performance variable partially (individually). 3) The test results show that the t-count value for the placement and motivation variables is greater than the t-table (1.264 > 0.677). So, Ho is rejected and H_3 is accepted, meaning that there is a positive influence of each placement and motivation variable on the employee performance variable partially (individually). From the data analysis, it can be concluded that placement and motivation together have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. From this conclusion, the impact resulting from this research is that good motivation by the leadership and placement in accordance with the educational background will improve employee performance.
