The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of transformational leadership and organizational culture on employee performance at Grand Hero Swalayan Kota Palu. Transformational leadership (X1) and organizational culture (X2) are the independent variables, while employee performance is the dependent variable in this study. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method through questionnaires, and 60 respondents from 168 active employees of Grand Hero Swalayan are samples taken using probability sampling techniques through simple random sampling. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression to test the partial and simultaneous effects between variables. The results show that transformational leadership has a significant but negative effect on employee performance, indicating that this leadership style has not been applied consistently or optimally. Conversely, organizational culture has a positive and significant effect and is the most dominant factor in improving employee performance. Two variables have a significant effect on employee performance, indicating that 56.8% of the variation in employee performance is caused by organizational culture and transformational leadership, while 43.2% is caused by other factors not examined in this study, such as work motivation, job satisfaction, workload, and reward systems.
