This study aims to analyze the effect of work motivation and supervision on employee performance and to analyze the existence of education level as a moderating variable in the functional relationship between these variables. The study utilizes a census to involve all of 123 employees as respondents at Muhammadiyah’s University in Aceh using a census. Data is collected by a questionnaire survey and analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM) and moderated regression analysis (MRA). The study finds that work motivation, supervision and education level have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The existence of the level of education moderates the effect of work motivation on employee performance. On the other hand, the level of education does not moderate the effect of supervision on employee performance.
