The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of compensation and competence on job satisfaction of employees at the Palembang City Personnel and Human Resources Development Agency. This study employed an associative quantitative method and a questionnaire as the data collection method. The subjects of this study were 82 Civil Servants (PNS) working at the Palembang City Personnel and Human Resources Development Agency. The sample selection technique used saturated sampling, which involves selecting all members of the population as samples, so that the number of respondents equals the population. Data analysis techniques used multiple regression analysis, correlation coefficient analysis, coefficient of determination analysis, partial and simultaneous tests, and data processing using SPSS. The results showed that the compensation variable significantly impacted employee job satisfaction, while the competency variable significantly impacted employee job satisfaction. The simultaneous test showed that compensation and competence significantly impacted employee job satisfaction, with a significance value of 0.000 for each. Simultaneously, these two variables also have a significant effect on job satisfaction with a significance value of 0.000 and a coefficient of determination value of 0.744, which means that 74.4% of the variation in job satisfaction can be explained by compensation and competence.
