Through the approach of Public Service Motivation with indicators of attraction to public policymaking, this study explores how employee motivation contributes to the optimization of population administration services. The research method uses descriptive qualitative analysis, involving interviews with employees at the North Toraja Population Office as the main data source. The results showed that the level of interest in public policy formulation varied among employees of the North Toraja Regency Population Office. Structural officials, including service heads and field heads, showed high interest and interest in the public policy-making process. Meanwhile, staff-level employees and operators showed a lack of interest in public policymaking. The results of this study provide valuable insight into how employee motivation affects their involvement in the public policy-making process, which in turn can affect the quality of population administration services. The implication of these findings is the need for efforts to motivate and involve broader employees in the public policy process, as well as provide appropriate incentives and training to increase their interest in policy formulation that supports more optimal population administration services. Keywords: Public Service Motivation; Optimizing; Public Policymaking Introduction Public service is an important component in carrying out government duties, and population administration services are one of the key aspects in this regard. In carrying out government duties, public services have a central role in meeting the needs of the community. Public service motivation is necessary for public employees in government-owned enterprises (GOEs) to be successful in serving the public and eventually help with their jobs or careers (Kuo Tai Cheng 2023). Public service motivation refers to the type of motivation to perform behavior that relates typically to the public sector, such as altruism or public interest (vandenabeele 2006). The Population Office (Dukcapil) has a great responsibility to provide quality population administration services to the community. Population administration services are an important component of government related to population records, identity cards, birth certificates, and other important documents. Effective and efficient population administration services are essential to ensure the rights and interests of citizens are protected, as well as to meet the administrative needs needed in various aspects of life.
