This study examined the effect of self-efficacy and income levels on job satisfaction and employee performance, the effect of job satisfaction on employee performance, and the mediation effect of job satisfaction between self-efficacy and income levels on employee performance at the Aceh Reintegration Agency Secretariat. Data from 115 respondents was collected by the census method. The analytical tool used was path analysis with the help of the SEM method (structural equation modeling) using Amos. The results indicated that self-efficacy and income levels positively and significantly influenced job satisfaction. Self-efficacy positively and significantly influenced employee performance, while income level did not influence employee performance, and job satisfaction affected employee performance. The mediation effect analysis revealed that job satisfaction partially mediated the effect of self-efficacy on employee performance and job satisfaction cannot mediate income levels on employee performance, because it cannot meet the terms or conditions of mediation.
