Abstract

This study aims to systematically examine the relationship between competence and employee performance using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Data were collected from 10 scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025, obtained through Google Scholar using the keywords "Competence" and "Performance". The review results show that competence—which includes knowledge, skills, attitude, and work culture—has a positive and significant influence on employee performance, both partially and simultaneously. These findings are consistent across various sectors, including the private sector and government institutions. Several competence indicators frequently associated with improved performance include work quality, teamwork, responsibility, and work quantity. Meanwhile, performance indicators include discipline behavior, effective use of working time, and attendance. The conclusion of this study highlights the importance of competence development as a key strategy in human resource management. The implementation of competence-based policies, such as recruitment, training, and performance appraisal, has been proven effective in enhancing organizational productivity and competitiveness. Therefore, investing in the development of human resource competencies is a strategic step for organizational sustainability amid the ever-changing dynamics of the work environment.
