The Influence of Work Experience and Job Performance on Career Development Mediated by Career Training at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Timor-Leste in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Work Experience (X1) and Job Performance (X2) on Career Development (Y), with Career Training (Z) as a mediating variable, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Timor-Leste in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach and a census method (saturated sampling) involving 62 employees, data were analyzed using Path Analysis (Partial Least Squares) based on Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory. The results demonstrate that Work Experience (X1) has a significant positive effect on Career Development (Y), whereas Job Performance (X2) does not show a direct significant impact on Career Development (Y). Furthermore, while Career Training (Z) does not significantly mediate the relationship between Work Experience (X1) and Career Development (Y), it serves as a crucial mediating variable between Job Performance (X2) and Career Development (Y). These findings suggest that while practical experience naturally fosters career growth, high job performance requires structured training programs to effectively translate into professional advancement. Therefore, the organization should focus on enhancing training initiatives to bridge the gap between employee performance and career progression.
