This study aims to determine the impact of financial compensation and communication competence on employee performance. job satisfaction is involved as a mediator. A total of 165 employees were involved as respondents in this research proportionally. Data analysis through structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that financial compensation plays a very important role in employee satisfaction and performance. Communication competence also has a positive effect on satisfaction and performance. Satisfaction itself is also the main key that has an impact on improving performance. In addition to being a key factor, job satisfaction also plays a role in connecting financial compensation to employee performance. while on the relationship of communication competence to performance, job satisfaction is considered unimportant. We suggest to the management that in order to improve the performance of agricultural extension workers, financial compensation should get more attention. Likewise, communication competence needs to be improved through employee training and development.
