Abstract

Based on the accountability report of the Kapuas Regency Archives and Library Service in 2021, this institution is still not optimal, and the unevenness of archive management and services provided is why this research was conducted. This study aims to determine the effect of work environment and competence on performance mediated by job satisfaction at the Kapuas Regency Archives and Library Service.

Primary data was obtained by distributing questionnaires, and secondary data was obtained from documentation and data available at the research locus.
