The advancement of technology and globalization has led to increased competition in the workplace, including in local government settings such as Kabupaten Maros. The government's vision to achieve "Prosperous, Religious, and Competitive Maros" emphasizes the importance of having skilled and professional human resources. In public services, work motivation and training are key factors in enhancing employee performance, particularly in the Public Service Mall, to provide effective services to the community and achieve competitive advantage. This research employs an associative quantitative approach with 100 respondents and questionnaires as instruments. The analysis results indicate a negative influence of both motivation and training on employee performance. However, it is important to note that this analysis was conducted only within one Government Department without considering other variables or moderators that could impact employee performance more comprehensively.
