INTRODUCTION

The organization is a system that influences each other; if one of the sub-systems is damaged, it will affect the other sub-systems (Dahlan et al., 2017). The system can run properly if the individuals in it are obliged to manage it, which means that as long as the members or individuals still like and carry out their responsibilities as they should, the organization will run well (Ansen & Norman, 2016). The organization is also the determination and grouping of work to be done, determines and delegates authority and responsibility intending to enable people to work together effectively in achieving goals (Darim, 2020).

Human Resource is a strategic element in determining whether or not an organization is healthy. Human resource development can be understood as preparing individual employees to assume different or higher responsibilities within the organization. Development usually relates to increasing the intellectual or emotional abilities needed to do a better job. The development of human resources is based on the fact that individual employees need knowledge, expertise, and developing abilities to work well (Miftahudin, 2018).

Every individual always has different characteristics from one. These traits can be characteristics of someone so that we can find out how they are. As with humans, organizations also have specific characteristics. We are familiar with the organizational or organizational culture through these characteristics. The cultures that each ethnic group owns have a system of values and norms governing each of its members from that tribe and people from other tribes. Thus, an organization also has a culture that regulates how its members act (Sustainable, 2022). Supported by a professional work ethic is a crucial route to success. Without a professional work ethic, we might easily slip into a line of losers. Without the inner awareness to project professionalism in all bodies, we may soon become human beings who stutter with the dynamics of change. Poor achievement and absence from the long journey to be productive, noble and dignified. Employees with a high work ethic are reflected in their behavior, such as working hard, being fair, not wasting time during working hours, the desire to give more than what is hinted at, willingness to cooperate, and respect for colleagues. The results of research conducted by (Suryadinata, 2015) concerning the influence of organizational culture, organizational climate and work motivation on lecturer performance indicate that an academic climate has not been created. Work standard is a parameter that indicates the work ethic of academic staff is still low. In addition to the low level of lecturer attendance, research results and academic staff writings have not been published optimally because there is no integrated management information system (MIS) for academic staff.

Competency factors can also influence improving employee performance. Placing employees following their competence will be decisive in creating maximum performance. Therefore the competency factor must be a criterion that is considered in organizational activities. This will have a positive impact on improving individual and organizational/group performance. Because competence is an essential characteristic of a person (individual) that influences how to think and act, generalizes to all situations encountered and lasts quite a long time in humans (Rostiana & Iskandar, 2020). The concept described above is a significant concern that needs to be studied at the Faculty of Teaching and Education, University of Pattimura.

 

METHODS

2.    The Influence of Organizational Culture on Lecturer Performance at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Patimura University

The results of this study prove that organizational culture has a significant positive direct effect on competency value significance (0.027 <0.05). Organizational culture has a significant positive indirect effect on lecturer performance through competence. Significant value (0.013 < 0.05) The results of this study prove that organizational culture indications include workplace formality and structure, work procedures are the primary reference in work, leaders are coordinators and regulators, the main concern and are long-term in terms of efficient performance, criteria success is in the delivery of reliable results, good scheduling and efficient costs that apply and are interpreted by all elements of the organization affecting the performance of lecturers at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Patimura University.

The results of this study support the results of the study (Purwitasari, 2021), proving that organizational culture influences employee performance through BUMD.

The research results state that there is no influence exerted by variable X (employee competence) on variable Y (public service performance). This fact explains that employee competence (variable X) has no significant effect on the performance of public services (variable Y). This study supports the results of research (Nurmasitha, 2013) conducted a study entitled The Influence of Competence and Work Environment on Service Performance (Study at the Sidoarjo Regency Population and Civil Registration Service). The competence variable's positive effect on the service quality of the Population and Civil Registry Office of Sidoarjo Regency is favorable. This study also supports the concept developed by Michael Zwell (2000:56-68). Competence is not an ability that cannot be influenced. Several factors can affect a person's competency skills, namely: beliefs and values, skills, experience, personality characteristics, motivation, emotional issues, intellectual abilities, and organizational culture that employees must have (Mujiatun, 2017).

And also, this research supports the concepts developed by (Rohida, 2018) competencies that can be developed to improve employee performance, namely knowledge, referring to information and learning outcomes, skills, referring to a person's ability to carry out an activity; self-concept and values refer to attitudes, values and self-image of a person, Personal characteristics, refers to physical characteristics and consistency of responses to situations or information, motives, our motivations, desires, psychological needs, or other impulses that trigger action.

Organizational culture has a significant positive indirect effect on lecturer performance through competence.
