From the results of multiple linear regression analysis, it was found that there was a relationship between training, competence and motivation on performance in the form of a regression equation: Y = 0.976 + 0.295 X1 + 0.404 X2 + 0.16 X3 + e. Where from further analysis it can be shown that the variables of training, competency and motivation have a positive and significant influence on the performance of halal supervisors.
