This study aims to find the impact of individual career development and competency on employee performance at Bank Nagari Pangkalan, with Employee Engagement serving as an intervening variable. Utilizing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method, data were collected from 74 respondents through questionnaires. The results indicate that both individual career development and competency significantly and positively influence employee engagement. Furthermore, individual career development directly enhances employee performance. However, the findings reveal that competency and employee engagement do not significantly affect employee performance. Additionally, employee engagement does not mediate the relationship between individual career development and competency on employee performance at Bank Nagari Pangkalan. This research enhances the understanding of the influence of career development and competencies on performance, demonstrating that although engagement is important, its mediating role in this context is limited. Keywords: individual career development; competency; employee engagement; employee performance
