Public sector organizations have been motivated by digital transformation to use information technology to improve the efficiency of human resource management. In addition to technology adoption, digital leadership, digital competency, and employee motivation all play a role in the success of digital transformation. With work motivation acting as an intervening variable, this study attempts to examine the impact of digital leadership and digital competency on employee performance in the Regional Civil Service and Human Resource Development Agency (BKPSDM) of Tabanan Regency. All 65 employees that were chosen as respondents made up the study population. Questionnaires were used to gather data, and SPSS software was used to analyze the results using path analysis. The findings show that employee performance and job motivation are positively and significantly impacted by digital leadership. Employee performance is positively and significantly impacted by work motivation. Additionally, both the association between digital competence and employee performance and the relationship between digital leadership and employee performance are strongly mediated by work motivation. According to the study's findings, leaders' capacity to apply digital leadership and boost workers' motivation at work have an impact on increasing employee performance in addition to digital competency. In order to support organizational performance improvement, BKPSDM Tabanan Regency should bolster digital leadership, enhance employees' digital competency, and cultivate work motivation.
