INTRODUCTION
Education is one of the important factors to advance a nation (Hamdani et al., 2022). Through good education, new things are obtained so that they can be used to create quality human resources. A nation if it has quality human resources (Mardhiyah et al., 2021), of course, able to build the nation to be more advanced. Therefore, every nation should have a good and quality education (Datzberger, 2018;Domine, 2011;Latif et al., 2019;Shen et al., 2015).
In order to educate the life of the nation, improving the quality of education is very important for sustainable development in all aspects of human life (Nurhidayah, 2014). The national education system must always be developed in accordance with the needs and developments that occur both at the local, national and global levels.
In order for education to be of quality and have an impact on regional development, it is necessary to carry out educational planning involving multidisciplinary activities that pay attention to demographic, economic, financial, governmental, pedagogical, school statistics, environmental, socio-cultural issues and other aspects that directly or indirectly can influence educational planning (Warouw et al., 2022). This means that education planning is carried out in a comprehensive manner by considering various aspects so that education can function properly to produce quality human resources as a whole (Sarnoto, 2017). Comprehensive in the sense that all citizens get the opportunity to learn so that each has the ability to support the development of a region or country. Therefore an area in its development process is very much determined by the availability of quality human resources (Junaidi & Zulgani, 2011). In other words, quality human resources is a factor that determines the progress or not of a region.
One of the authorities of regional, provincial and district/city governments in the era of regional autonomy is to manage the education sector. Where education is one of the most important local government affairs, concerns the livelihood of many people, determines the future of this nation's children, and will also determine the progress of the region itself in the long term, if measured by the quality of human resources owned by the region as result of the educational process it takes care of. Performance problems are certainly inseparable from processes, results, and usability, in this case performance is the result of work in quality and quantity achieved by an employee in carrying out his duties in accordance with the responsibilities given to him. Employee performance is the extent to which the employee can carry out the task properly in the sense that the said implementation is in accordance with the plan, so that satisfactory results are obtained for achieving good employee performance. So employees are required to have quality human resources who are able to carry out their duties as government officials in accordance with the tasks assigned.
The North Sumatra Education Office is a government agency that provides services for schools in North Sumatra with the vision of realizing North Sumatra resources that are noble, intelligent and competitive. To provide services in accordance with the vision above, the state civil apparatus serving the state through the North Sumatra Education Office is assigned a position with the applicable duties and authorities in accordance with statutory regulations (Connors & Morris, 2015;Rengifurwarin et al., 2018Rengifurwarin et al., , 2018. Every ASN, both employees of the education office and teachers who teach in schools, must have good performance to realize these 4 indicators by implementing integrated schools. The method is strengthening character education, namely increasing the capacity and competence of human resources, and quality education management based on electronics. In order for the vision and mission of the head of the North Sumatra Education office to be carried out, the role of leadership and the commitment formed must be seen, namely whether the organizational commitment supports it or not and the organizational culture that has been formed (Balthazard & Cooke, 2004;Chênevert et al., 2013;Kaper et al., 2021;Podsakoff et al., 1996).
The service targets that have not been achieved are due to the lack of optimal placement of employees according to their competencies, so that employees cannot use all their skills and abilities at work. Competence is often used to reflect a person's abilities in certain fields or certain skills (Kusumaningsih & others, 2020).
For an employee, competence is fully measured when participating in a fit and proper test as well as education and training. In addition, employee competence can also be seen based on the ability to master knowledge and skills in their field when carrying out tasks given by the head of service or leadership. PP No. The resources of the state civil apparatus with their intellect, knowledge, abilities and skills as potentials that should always be developed and improved so that they can be used as much as possible for the advancement of public organizations, especially government institutions.
The development and improvement of the quality of human resources for civil servants or civil servants is currently a prominent discourse in both the public and private sectors. (Andalangi et al., 2022). This was triggered by various advances in technology and knowledge and culture. In the government administration sector, efforts to develop and improve the quality of human resources for civil servants are absolutely necessary to answer criticism and scrutiny from the public on accountability for the performance of public agencies in realizing good governance. (Sholehah & Angin, 2018), so that the business world and the community can be served well and able to increase economic and social growth which will ultimately improve people's welfare. Therefore it is very important that efforts to improve the quality of human resources for this apparatus are planned and structured through an appropriate program and in accordance with the needs and dynamics of change.
The results of pre-survey research on employee development policies obtained results with an average score of 3.1417. This shows that the implementation of the management of the state civil apparatus at the North Sumatra Education Office so far has not been based on a comparison between the competencies and qualifications required by positions with the competencies and qualifications of candidates in recruitment, appointment, placement and promotion in positions in line with governance. the good one. Study the implementation of the competency development policy for state civil apparatus resources based on Law no. 5 of 2014 needs to be implemented, to what extent this policy is able to be a solution to the development of needs, national demands and global challenges to the development of the competence of the state civil apparatus as expected.
Leadership is one of the issues in management that is still interesting enough to be discussed today. The mass media, both electronic and print, often displays opinions and talks that discuss leadership.
From the background above, the researcher is interested in conducting research on the problems above by taking the research title "The Influence of Leadership Roles, Organizational Commitment and Work Culture on Competency Improvement and Their Implications for Employee Performance Moderated by the Implementation of Employee Development Policies in Regional Service Work Units North Sumatra Province Education".

METHOD
The method used in this study is a survey method to obtain facts from existing phenomena and seek factual information. (Sugiyono, 2018). The survey method can dissect, discuss and recognize problems, as well as obtain justification for the state of ongoing practices. In addition, the survey method can also evaluate and compare things that people do in handling similar situations or problems and the results can be used in making plans and making decisions in the future. (Moleong, 2017).
To apply the survey research method in operations, a research design is needed that is in accordance with the conditions of the depth of the research to be carried out. Research design is the entire process required in planning and conducting research. In a narrower sense, research design involves two things, namely collection and analysis.

Volume 13 Number 1, January-June 2023. Page [163][164][165][166][167][168][169][170][171][172][173][174][175][176] In accordance with the hypothesis in this study that the description referred to describes the variables used, namely the Role of Leadership, Organizational Commitment and Work Culture, Increasing Employee Competence and Performance and Implementation of Employee Development Policies. While the verification analysis is to explain the direction of the relationship and the influence of the independent variables (Leadership Role, Organizational Commitment and Work Culture) on the intervening variable (Competence Improvement), and the dependent variable (Employee Performance) through the moderating variable (Implementation of Employee Development Policy).
This research includes data on the variables studied including the Role of Leadership, Organizational Commitment and Work Culture, Increasing Employee Competence and Performance and Implementation of Employee Development Policies which are collected through questionnaires which are distributed directly to employees of the State Civil Apparatus in Regional Work Units. North Sumatra Provincial Education Office, according to the research sample. Furthermore, the data was obtained from the results of interviews and discussions with employees, as well as from the results of the assessment process of the respondents who were samples of the research questionnaire.
Secondary data is needed to see an overview of the institution obtained from statistics that have been processed from the Regional Work Unit of the North Sumatra Province Education Office which was used as the research sample. In addition, the secondary data used in this study is data obtained through library research.
The sample that is the target of the research is the elements that are in the population. The sampling technique chosen is proportional random sampling, because the number of samples from the population is relatively homogeneous and not stratified. The samples taken were 203 employees. The technique used is proportional random sampling.
The data collection method is a questionnaire, so the sincerity of the respondents in answering the questions is very important. While secondary data is data to support primary data. As for obtaining secondary data, data is sourced from related institutions or agencies by contacting the institution directly. The validity and validity of the data collected is largely determined by the measuring instrument used (Fitrah & others, 2018). If the measuring instrument used is not reliable, then the research results obtained will not reflect the real situation. To overcome these problems, testing tools are needed, namely validity tests and reliability tests. Testing instruments through validity tests and reliability tests will give researchers good confidence in the data collected and respondents' answers as a basis for measuring research results and other parties who will conduct similar research.

Measurement Tool Normality Test Results.
The normality test is used to find out whether a data follows a normal distribution or not. To find out whether the data follows a normal distribution, it can be done using various methods, including the Kolmogrov-Smimov method. The results of data calculations show that all variables follow a normal distribution with a p-value > 0.05 (Sudjana, 2000: 136), which is explained in the following table 1. The data in the table shows that all variable data follow normal data distribution by using the Kolmogorov-Smimov and Shapiro-Wilk tests with a p-value > 0.05, thus rejecting H1 and accepting H0, thus the sample comes from a normally distributed population.

Correlation coefficient
Calculation of the correlation coefficient using Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis, was carried out to find out how strong the relationship between the several independent variables studied.  The R2 value in the first regression was 0.842 or 84.2% while after the second regression equation the R2 value increased to 0.842 or 84.2%. By looking at the results above, it can be concluded that with the Implementation of Development (Moderating Variables) it will be able to strengthen the relationship between Competence and Apparatus Performance. Based on the calculations, the Fcount value is 155.275 where the rejection variable is H0 if Fcount is greater than Ftable or F0 > Ftable, with degrees of freedom v1 = 3 and v2 = 170 -3 -1 and a confidence level of 95%, then from the distribution variable F we get the value Ftable = 2.36. Because 155.275 is greater than 2.36, then H0 is rejected, meaning that there is a linear relationship between X1 (Leadership Role), X2 (Organizational Commitment), and X3 (Work Culture) to Apparatus Competence (Y), so it can be concluded that there is positive and significant influence simultaneously.

The Effect of Increasing Employee Competence on Employee Performance at the Education Office in North Sumatra Province
Based on the results of verification data processing, it appears that the employee competency improvement variable (Y) has an influence on employee performance (Z) of 80.1%. Referring to the model built where the employee competency improvement variable is an intervening variable, it proves that the competency improvement variable is in accordance with the model and is proven to be an intervening variable because the magnitude of the effect of increasing competency on employee performance is greater than the effect of leadership roles, organizational commitment, and work culture on employee performance. employee competency, namely 80.1% > 73.7%. This means that the performance of employees at the Education Office in the province of North Sumatra is very dependent on increasing the competence of its employees.

Employee Development Policy at the Education Office in North Sumatra Province
Based on the results of verification data processing, it appears that the employee competency improvement variable (Y) has an influence on employee performance (Z) of 80.1%. Meanwhile, the effect of increased competency on employee performance moderated by employee development policies was 84.2%, meaning that there was an increase in the amount of influence. Thus the employee development variable is used as a moderating variable capable of increasing employee performance by 4.1%. This means that the performance of employees at the
