Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using classical assumption tests, descriptive analysis, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing.The results show that the calculated F value is 16.630 with a significance level of 0.000, indicating that job performance and employee loyalty simultaneously influence job promotion. The t-test results show that job performance has a calculated t value of 4.977 with a significance level of 0.000, meaning it has a positive and significant effect on job promotion. Meanwhile, employee loyalty has a calculated t value of -1.696 with a significance level of 0.095, indicating that it does not have a positive and significant effect on job promotion.
