This study examines the role of job satisfaction in mediating the effects of work motivation and organizational culture on human resource development at the Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA) of East Aceh Regency. Human resource development is a critical factor in enhancing the effectiveness and performance of public sector organizations, particularly in regional development planning institutions that require competent and adaptive human resources. Differences in work motivation and organizational culture are assumed to influence employees’ job satisfaction, which in turn affects the development of human resources. This research adopts a quantitative approach with an associative causal design. The population comprises all 82 employees of BAPPEDA East Aceh Regency, and a saturated sampling technique is employed. Data are collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression and path analysis with the support of SPSS software. The findings reveal that work motivation and organizational culture have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. Furthermore, job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on human resource development. The results also indicate that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between work motivation and organizational culture on human resource development. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing employee motivation and fostering a supportive organizational culture to improve job satisfaction and, ultimately, strengthen human resource development in public sector institutions.
