The data analysis technique used was multiple linear regression to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of independent variables on the dependent variable. The results showed that partially, Human Resource Development had a positive and significant effect on employee performance with a regression coefficient of 0.210, a t-value of 3.034, and a significance value of 0.003. Leadership had a positive and significant effect with a regression coefficient of 0.417, a t-value of 4.474, and a significance value of 0.000. Bonuses also had a positive and significant effect with a regression coefficient of 0.289, a t-value of 2.853, and a significance value of 0.006. Simultaneously, the F-value was 115.158 with a significance value of 0.000. Leadership was the most dominant variable because it had the highest regression coefficient and t-value. The adjusted R² value of 0.836 indicated that 83.6% of the variation in employee performance was explained by the three variables, while the correlation coefficient (R) of 0.919 indicated a very strong relationship.
