RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This research is quantitative research which was conducted at PT Laut Timur Utama, Aru Islands.Based on the form of research, this research is an association because it analyzes the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable.The data used in this research are primary data from questionnaires that distributed to respondents, which were 40 respondents.From the data obtained, several tests were conducted, such as:

Classical Assumption Test of Multiple Linear Regression
The use of multiple linear regression as an analysis model requires the fulfillment of several basic assumptions, including: 1. Multicollinearity 2. Autocorrelation 3. Heteroscedasticity 4. Normality

Analysis Model
The analysis model used is multiple linear regression to determine the effect of independent variable on dependent variable.

Reliability Test
Based on calculation results of the questionnaire reliability, the recapitulation of the reliability test results are as follows: The table above indicates that the tolerance value> 0.1 and the variance inflaction factor value is smaller than 10, this means that independent variables in this reseacrh are unaffected by classic assumption of multicollinearity.and the number of dependent variables (k) is 3.Then, it is obtained dl = 1.34 and du = 1.66, if du < dw < 4-du (1.66 < 1,830 < 2.34), it can be concluded that there is no autocorrelation.

Heterocedacity Test
The heteroscedasticity test in this research was conducted by observing the distribution of plots on Scater plot graph as shown below: The figure above shows that plots distribution on the graph has a wavy pattern, widening and the plot spreads above and below the number 0 on Y axis.It means that all research variables used in this research are unaffected by the assumption of heteroscedasticity.

Normality Test
The normality test in this research was conducted by observing the plots distribution on P-P Plot graph as shown below: The picture above shows that plot-plot pattern is around the diagonal line of PP Plot Graph, this pattern indicates that the data from each variable in this research is normally distributed, or unaffected by the assumption of data normality.From the regression above, it can be examined how the independent variables (compensation, job satisfaction and motivation) affecting in dependent variable employee performance).From three independent variables (compensation, job satisfaction and motivation) used in this research, the independent variable X1 (compensation) is the independent variable that has a dominant influence compared to other independent variables (X2 and X3).This can be explained from the immensity of regression coefficient of independent variable X1 (0.249) which is bigger than regression coefficient of other independent variables.
