This research entitled "correlation between intrinsic & extrinsic motivation with employee performance through commitment and organizational culture” was conducted to determine the driving factors of doing work that originate from (motivational factors) and (hygiene factors) and to find differences in motivation based on commitment and organizational culture. It aimed to reveal the correlation between intrinsic and external factors and the differences in each driving indicator, namely commitment and organizational culture on the duties, functions, responsibilities of structural and functional officials of the regional government. Data were collected using questionnaires on a sample of respondents representing the target data population. As many as 104 respondents who were local government employees were involved. Information obtained from observations and available documents could also complement the description of the research report. The results of this study were expected to broaden the knowledge of the local government in making policies regarding the work motivation of employees who uphold organizational commitment and culture in increasing their competence to do work professionally. The results of the research analysis revealed two findings: a significant correlation between intrinsic and extrinsic factors with employee performance through commitment and organizational culture; and a significant difference in work motivation, namely prioritizing motivation from intrinsic factors (motivational factors) than extrinsic factors (hygiene factors) for structural and functional officials.
