With organizational commitment as mediating variable, the objective of this study is to
examine and evaluate the impact of public service motivation and transformational leadership
on organizational performance. Respondents from the public sector of Maritime Affairs and
Fisheries Service Branches dispersed around the Riau Island Province Region make up this
quantitative research technique with data processing using Smart PLS. Completing a
questionnaire sent via Google form was the main method of gathering primary data for this
project. According to the study's results, transformational leadership has a significant
influence, but Public service motivation has little impact on organizational performance.
Organisational commitment is essential for mediating the relationship between
transformational leadership and organizational performance, as well as public service
motivation and organizational success.
