The sampling technique used random sampling method. The verification analysis of the data used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the research show that data analysis: (1) employee empowerment has a significant positive effect on employee performance, (2) motivation has a positive but not significant effect on performance. (3) employee empowerment, knowledge management and motivation simultaneously have a significant positive effect on employee performance. The results showed that employee empowerment and motivation together had a positive and significant effect on performance, but partially the effect of motivation on performance had a positive but not significant effect. This means that the influence of motivation on performance does not apply in general, and only applies in this study
