This study aims to analyze the influence of career path, job stress, and work conflict on employee performance at the East Medan Primary Tax Service Office. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method with a census of 90 employees as research respondents. The data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS. The results indicate that partially, career path has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while job stress and work conflict do not have a significant effect. Simultaneously, career path, job stress, and work conflict have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The coefficient of determination (R² = 50.9%) shows that the model explains a moderate proportion of the variance in employee performance. These findings suggest that effective career path management plays an important role in improving employee performance through clear promotion systems, training, and competency development. However, the results related to job stress and work conflict appear to be context-specific, indicating the need for further research to explore the boundary conditions and underlying mechanisms of these relationships in different organizational settings.
