This study examines the effects of Adaptive Leadership and Innovation Culture on Employee Agility and ASN Performance, as well as the mediating role of Employee Agility. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed. The population consisted of 153 ASN employees at the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Department of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, with 111 respondents selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results indicate that Adaptive Leadership and Innovation Culture positively and significantly influence Employee Agility. Employee Agility, Adaptive Leadership, and Innovation Culture also positively and significantly influence ASN Performance. Furthermore, Employee Agility partially mediates the effects of Adaptive Leadership and Innovation Culture on ASN Performance.
