(1) partial test results or t test of the leadership variable with a value of 0.024. Thus, the Leadership variable (X1) partially has implications for the performance of Tulungagung tobacco factory employees, because the significant value is X1 = 0.024 < 0.05. So the researcher can state that the first hypothesis is accepted. (2) partial test results (t test) of the Compensation variable (X2) have a significant t value of 0.001. From these results, the compensation variable partially has significant implications or influence on the performance of Tulungagung tobacco factory employees. Which is the value of X2 = 0.001 < 0.05. So in this research the second hypothesis is accepted. (3) simultaneous test results (f test), Leadership (X1) and Compensation (X2) simultaneously influence Employee Performance (Y). Based on the calculation results obtained, the calculated F is 12.425 which is greater than F table 3.29 and the sig value is 0.000 <0.05, so H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, so it can be concluded that the leadership and compensation variables influence the performance of Tulungagung tobacco factory employees.
