Abstract
This study aims to assess the extent to which work motivation and work environment can mitigate the impact of transformational leadership style on employee performance in Bappeda Malang Regency. This work employs quantitative approaches, notably utilising route analysis with the Sobel test as a mediation test for analysis. Data was collected from a population of 79 individuals using a saturation sampling approach. The research findings indicate that the transformational leadership style has a favourable and significant impact on staff performance, job motivation, and work atmosphere. Moreover, studies have demonstrated that work motivation significantly and meaningfully influences employee performance. Likewise, research has shown that the work environment has a strong and favourable impact on employee performance. The mediating role of work motivation is observed in the relationship between the transformational leadership style and employee performance. Additionally, the work environment facilitates the correlation between a transformative leadership style and employee performance.
