Employee performance is a key factor in ensuring the effectiveness of public organizations in delivering quality public services. However, differences in leadership practices, employees' perceptions of their work environment, and the effectiveness of internal supervision may influence performance outcomes within government institutions. This study aims to examine the effects of authentic leadership, quality of work life, and internal supervision on employee performance at the Community and Village Empowerment Office of Asahan Regency. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using a census sampling technique involving all 35 employees of the institution. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires measured on a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The findings indicate that authentic leadership, quality of work life, and internal supervision each have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly explain variations in employee performance, with an adjusted coefficient of determination of 0.900, indicating that 90.0% of employee performance is explained by the proposed model. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening authentic leadership practices, improving employees' quality of work life, and enhancing internal supervision to support better organizational performance in the public sector.
