ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the effect of the
motivation and work competence of ABC Insurance telemarketing through the
Vinnocomm application on employee performance. The research design and methods
were tested using multiple regression, and the instruments for each variable
were tested using a descriptive presentation analysis before the partial effect
test was carried out. The research sample was ABC Insurance
exceptional telemarketing employees who had used the Vinnocomm Application as
many as 65 respondents filling out a questionnaire. Validity and reliability tests, normality tests,
multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of
determination were carried out in the analysis phase. From the study results,
telemarketing work motivation is quite influential in achieving performance but
not too strong. Meanwhile, telemarketing work competence through the vinnocomm
application has a significant and robust influence on the process of achieving
the performance of telemarketers. This research has implications that it is
necessary to increase enthusiasm and enthusiasm from telemarketing in carrying
out work processes such as training, refreshment, periodic motivation, or in
the form of bonuses and compensation that is in line with the results achieved
from telemarketing.
Keywords: motivation,
work competence, performance, telemarketing, vinnocomm application.

INTRODUCTION
In the organization's current
development, there are various types of business models, both in services and
manufacturing (Fauzan, 2018). Service companies that provide
human resources are quite extensive with certain uniqueness that helps large
companies achieve their goals and targets (Subyantoro
& Suwarto, 2020). The company provides human services, or it is called
outsourcing. The variety of company demands on employees makes it necessary to
look for unique capabilities to meet existing demands (Julyanthry et al.,
2020). Outsourcing companies with strength in HR are a
driving factor in achieving optimal performance (Devi & Putri,
2019). Apart from the factors of ability, potential, and
systems that support the achievement of work result both from individuals and
organizations (Akbar, 2018). Some things are no less important, namely the will
and motivation of workers to achieve optimal work results (Can & Yasri, 2016). This condition is in line with PT. MIS is a company
that provides telemarketing services needed by large companies that provide
insurance services to achieve targets for both prospective customers and
numbers. Employees will contribute according to the duties and responsibilities
that have been assigned to them in order to achieve the success of the company.
Optimal employee work results will impact the employees themselves as well as
company performance and company image in the eyes of customers.
Enthusiasm and desire to succeed are often motivations
that can affect work results (Meidita, 2019). Motivation is an important thing to pay attention to
because, with motivation, an employee or employee will be able to have high
enthusiasm in carrying out the assigned tasks (Gardjito et al., 2014). Without motivation, an employee cannot fulfill his
duties properly; the work results contributed will not be satisfactory and
perfect as expected, as cited in research (Azis, 2019). Motivation must be owned by an employee and
supported by competence or workability, and skills possessed are thought to
influence work results (Ainanur &
Tirtayasa, 2018). Workability, in this case, is a competency or
competence that a person must have in carrying out work processes (Pasaribu, 2019). An employee can work better with competence in
accordance with the profession or work. However, according to the attached table, this still
needs to be improved.

The logic is that an increase in the number of
employees should be accompanied by an increase in the monthly work target
premium generated by telemarketing (Klingebiel & Joseph, 2016). The development of the
industrial world is relatively rapid, both services and non-services (Tarantang et al., 2019). If employees succeed in
bringing progress to the company, both parties will reap the benefits (Zurnali & Sujanto, 2020). This is in line with the
statement (Prastowo, 2014), which states that developing
technology forces employees to be able to adapt to these changes quickly. In
support of the performance of telemarketing employees (TSO) at PT. MIS, which
is the spearhead, needs an optimal application system to achieve targets. The
Vinnocomm system is the company's choice because it makes it easier for TSO to
run and presents good customer data, daily target achievement from TSO, and
lack of monthly targets achieved. This phenomenon is the reference for
researchers to research the influence of work motivation and work competence of
ABC insurance TSO on employee performance through the Vinnocomm application at
PT. MIS - Tangerang).
This study aims to determine
the extent to which the influence between competence and work motivation can
affect performance in telemarketing using the Vinnocomm system.
METHODS
In this research
design, namely testing the influence of motivational variables and
telemarketing competence on performance through the Vinnocomm application,
employees of PT. MIS with quantitative methods. Respondents or samples used

The data analysis technique
used is the multiple regression analysis technique, in which each instrument of
each variable is tested using a descriptive analysis of the percentage before
the partial effect test is carried out and performed by testing the validity
and reliability.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Validity test
The validity test results were calculated by
comparing the value of the r count (correlated item-total correlation) with the
value of the r table. If r count > r table. r table obtained a value of
0.244. Based on the calculation results above, it is known that 46 items have
validity following the provisions. Where these items are obtained, the
statement value r count above 0.244, meaning that all of these instruments are
valid and do not need to be omitted. Meanwhile, five items have low validity,
namely below the r count with a value of 0.244, namely the Variable Motivation
in the dimension of achievement motivation in the 3rd statement and Affiliation
Motivation in item 14. Then the Competency Variable in the Knowledge dimension
in the statement item, namely the 1st item
5. While the Attitude dimension in statement items 16 and 18 is on Competency
Variables. These invalid items are not used to continue
in the following research process and are said to be invalid.
Reliability
Test
Reliability testing is carried
out only on construct indicators that have gone through validity testing, and
are declared valid. The reliability test used in the SPSS program is the
Cronbach Alpha statistical test. A construct or variable is declared reliable
if it produces a Cronbach Alpha value > 0.60.

Normality test
Normality testing
using descriptive-frequency statistical analysis using SPSS. By looking at the
skewness and kurtosis ratios obtained by dividing the skewness value by the
standard error or by dividing the kurtosis value by the standard error, if the
value ranges from -2 to 2, it means that the data is said to be expected.
This shows that all
data is said to have a normal distribution. The scatterplot graph shows that
the dots are gathered around the straight diagonal line, which shows that the
data is spread commonly, as shown in Figure 5 below.
