INTRODUCTION
Source power man (HR) is wrong one source of power
which urgent in something organization for support activity, survival, and
success of an organization because HR is the only resource that has a reason,
feeling, desire, skill, knowledge, drive, power, and creation (Sutrisno, 2013). Because of that, every organization must do
management HR appropriately so that the aim organization can succeed. Several
factors determine a successful organization, and wrong one of factor most
important is employee performance. Employee performance is very important
because employees are perpetrators who operate the activity from start
planning, execution to evaluation (Kridharta &
Rusdianti, 2017). Internal government agencies' operations carry out
their respective functions, of course, must pay attention to the performance of
their employees, especially for intersecting government agencies directly by
providing services to the public. To be able to provide services to the
community, then employees must be able to improve their performance. Therefore
performance management is a very important thing to do emphasis within an
organization to provide impactful feedback to enhancement performance from
employee in every organization government (Sinaga et al., 2020). As for the wrong agency, which is related to the employee's
country civil and oriented on service, that is agency Body Manager Tax and
Retribution Area City Medan.

that can be achieved by someone or a bunch of people in something organization,
following the authority and not quite enough answer each, in framework effort
reach aim organization concerned legally, does not violate the law and is following
morals and ethics (Syaleh, 2019). The following is the identification of problems

Source: Results Pre-survey, 2022 (Data processed)
Table 1 shows
that as many as 77% of City BPPRD employees in Medan were unable to complete
the work faster than the deadline already
determined. This is because employees tend to delay work often and work their job
when they already approach
deadlines, which cause as many
as 40% of an employee not to
be capable of working with a
level of minimum error. In
addition, as many as 23% of employees are still unable to work profession with a good
group of neatness, and as many
as 13% of employees cannot achieve the set targets. From the
description above, an employee's performance at
BPPRD Medan city is not optimal.
Several factors can affect
performance, one of them being individual characteristics. Each employee has
inherent features, self each employee and reluctant others (Doloksaribu, 2021). States that individual parts can be seen from abilities, values, attitudes, and interests� characteristics formed from the environment around them. The unique
features of employees have a very real impact on the behavior of individuals in doing profession because aspects are carried away into the work
environment (Kridharta & Rusdianti, 2017). Differences in life and environmental backgrounds cause individual characteristics of City
Regional Tax and Retribution Management Agency employees Medan; differences also influence performance and method of work.
Parts of an individual have a connection which is
very strong with performance; if there
are similarities between the values and desires of an employee with dimensions characteristics individual which there is
an agency, so will Upgrade
performance employee which seen from flavor have and not quite enough answer employee towards his work. This is in line with
research conducted by (Mahayanti & Sriathi, 2017) (Agustina et al., 2019), which states that characteristics individual affect employee performance.
But there is a difference between the results
of the research conducted (Kridharta & Rusdianti, 2017) and (Purwanto, 2019), which states that individual characteristics do not affect employee performance. Based on the
background above, this study aims to determine and analyze the characteristics
of the influence of individuals and competencies on performance with work
placement variables.

research is an explanatory research approach quantitative. For variables

the nature of openness with superiors and co-workers, have a responsible
attitude towards work, and have a good interest in work will become factors
main in consideration placement work, following the principle of placement,
namely, the right man in the right place and the right man behind in the right
job (Setiani,
2013). Employees with good
individual characteristics must get appropriate position placement work because
proper placement work will lead to high work motivation for employees to finish
their profession. Thereby will create a performance employee who is maximum and
capable of giving contributions, which is also for the organization.

that the better the competence of Medan City BPPRD employees, the more
opportunities the employee has to get a job placement which appropriate.
Competence is the employee's capacity to follow the decree organization
and job demands that refer to behavior, thus bringing the desired results. In
other words, competence can help somebody do his job well (Muflihah,
2021). The competence of employees who the taller could be
measured from the increasing knowledge and skills as well as the development of
temperament or nature and self-concept is getting better. Competence is used as
a criterion to place employees. Employees assigned to specific tasks will know the
competencies needed to increase knowledge, skills, and expertise. Through

Characteristics Individual influential positive, and
significant to performance
Based on the results of research conducted, it is known that the
characteristics of individuals have a positive and significant effect on the Performance
of City BPPRD employees Medan. Individual characteristics possessed by each
person are very different and unique. When the organization cannot accommodate
the character of each employee who If there is, then cooperation between
employees cannot be established, which can affect the performance of the
employees themselves, it can be concluded that individual characteristics are
the nature of the employee's duties and include the number of responsibilities,
variety of tasks and levels of performance obtained from the characteristics
individual that alone. Characteristics of the individual have a connection
which is very strong with performance; if there is a similarity Between mark
nor desire for an employee with the dimensions of job characteristics that
exist in the agency, it will improve employee performance as seen from a sense
of ownership and responsibility employee towards his work.
This is in line with the study conducted by (Sukmawati
et al., 2020) expressed the opinion that the characteristics of individual

employee performance.

skills, which are supported by the implementation of tasks and work as well as
attitudes in place work, which following standard position applied by the organization
is a competence that must own the employee. The increasing competence of employees will impact
performance improvement, supported by (Ardiansyah
et al., 2022), which stated that there was a positive influence and
significant-good in a manner Partial and simultaneous Among performance competence.
However, (Rosmaini
& Tanjung, 2019) says that competency has no effect significant on

positions or assignment returns on new assignments/positions or different
positions. To put employees in place, one must also consider their knowledge of
the job; the higher a person's experience, the more knowledge in work will
increase, so that achievement works somebody also will increase. The skills
possessed by employees will also determine a person's position in work. Somebody
owns the tall Skills so that he will get promoted to a higher position at work.
Suppose it is already a promotion position, so the employee will be motivated
so that performance increases. This is supported by research conducted by (Bahri,
2019) and (Pua
et al., 2017), which state that placement
work positively affects employee performance.

and the government have not been having an adequate employees with competence;
this has been proven with low productivity employees, still there discrepancy
placement and how difficult measure performance employee. To achieve maximum
and satisfying work results, competency is needed to be owned by an employee is
supported by the appropriate placement; then, carrying out employee duties can
