Abstract

This study examines the impact of performance allowances on work motivation and work behaviour at the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia through a quantitative employee survey. Descriptive analysis showed moderately positive perceptions of allowances (mean = 3.12), high motivation (mean = 3.45), and very high performance (mean = 3.60). Regression confirmed significant effects of allowances on motivation (β = 0.45; p = 0.001) and performance (β = 0.30; p = 0.015), while motivation affected performance (β = 0.60; p = 0.000). Motivation mediated the allowance–performance relationship (indirect effect = 0.27; p = 0.03). Allowances explained 20% of motivation and 15% of performance, while allowances and motivation explained 45% of performance variation. Distribution and intrinsic motivation are recommended.
