This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style, career development, and competence on employee performance with job satisfaction as an intervening variable at PT Angkasa Pura Aviasi at Kualanamu International Airport. Employee performance is one of the crucial factors in the success of an organization, so a deep understanding of the factors that affect this performance is essential. Leadership style, career development, and employee competence are thought to have a significant role in improving performance, but job satisfaction also has the potential to be a link or intervening variable that strengthens the relationship between these variables and performance. This research method uses a quantitative approach with data collected through questionnaires from employees of PT Angkasa Pura Aviasi. Data analysis was carried out using path analysis techniques to test the direct and indirect relationships between the research variables. The number of respondents in this study was 100 employees selected through the purposive sampling method. The results of the study show that leadership style, career development, and competence have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. In addition, job satisfaction is proven to play a role as an intervening variable that strengthens the influence of the three independent variables on employee performance. Thus, it can be concluded that efforts to increase job satisfaction through the right leadership style, good career development, and increased competence, will have a positive impact on employee performance.
