INTRODUCTION

In today's era, life is all modern, with today's sophisticated information systems, the role of employees who carry out activities to serve the community or in the public sector as workers in an agency is needed to produce the best possible service. In managing a good government agency, it is always full of challenges, the ease of the situation with the conditions of the work environment. Government agencies are required to have information technology. In the development of socio-cultural science and technology, it requires State Civil Apparatus employees to work appropriately and quickly in serving the community. With technology starting to enter the work environment, State Civil Apparatuses are required to understand and be able to operate technology so that goals can be achieved. The activities of government agencies will run well if the agency has knowledgeable human resources, skills in managing government agencies. However, in reality bureaucratic services are still low, especially human resources, which is marked by the low level of service (Suara Merdekan, Edition 27 May 2018).

Determining success in an optimal government agency. Therefore, ASN employees who have good performance and can be relied on by government agencies are needed. The performance of ASN employees is very necessary, because with this performance it will be known how far they are able to carry out the tasks assigned to them.

Government agencies need human resources who have knowledge and are proficient in operating computers with demands for quality services, government agencies, especially the sub-district office in Menui Islands, implement various services to support speed and integration.

In this case, high work motivation is needed to achieve organizational goals, because with work motivation in employees it can produce high performance of the state civil apparatus and lead to results that are relevant to high performance.

Motivation is a driving force for someone to carry out an activity in order to get the best results. State civil servants who have high work motivation will have high performance as well. Motivation is a potential force that exists within a human being, which can be developed alone or developed by a number of forces outside which essentially revolves around matter and non-material. What is important to remember is that the motivations of state civil servants will differ from one another, according to their level of education, characteristics, and economic conditions. People who are more educated and more independent economically, the sources of motivation are different, not solely determined by traditional motivational means, such as formal authority and incentives, but also influenced by other factors of need.

Factors that affect work motivation, including compensation and career development. Compensation is everything that is received in the form of physical and must be calculated to someone who is an object that is exempt from income tax. While career development affects organizational commitment and performance of state civil servants, where career development is a formal approach taken by organizations to ensure that people in the organization have the appropriate qualifications and abilities and experience when needed. So if these two activities have been carried out, it will be easy to produce good performance. Thus, motivation means a condition that encourages or causes someone to do an act or activity that takes place consciously.

Performance is a measure of success or success in carrying out activities both individually and in groups. Performance is the achievement of standards/targets that have been given responsibility by a worker to get maximum results (Soeprihanto, 1998). However, each agency, especially at the sub-district level, has different standards, including the performance standards of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) employees. Various types of work carried out by ASN, of course, require clear criteria, because each type of work has different standards regarding the achievement of the results. The more complicated the type of work, the minimum standards set will be an absolute requirement that must be complied with. Many things affect the performance of state civil servants, including information technology, work discipline and work motivation

Based on the empirical gap that occurred in the field of initial observations that the performance of the State Civil Apparatus in particular in the Menui Islands sub-district, it was found that there were still obstacles in terms of services provided by the District government such as the performance of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) which was still low and irresponsible, services that are still traditional, resulting in people complaining about the services provided by the sub-district government, but there are still governments that pay attention to the quality of services to meet the needs of the community by implementing e-governance or electronic governance, namely public services to the community based on technology to facilitate the government in carrying out service to the community.

The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the effect of the use of information technology, work discipline and work motivation on the performance of the State Civil Apparatus in the Menui Islands. Knowing and analyzing the effect of the use of information technology on the performance of the State Civil Apparatus in the Menui Islands. Knowing and analyzing the effect of work discipline on the performance of the State Civil Apparatus in the Menui Islands. And to find out and analyze the effect of work motivation on the performance of the State Civil Apparatus in the Menui Islands.

The benefits that can be taken from this research are that it can be a reference, increase knowledge, can add to the STIE Six Six Kendari library collection and become a reference for anyone who wants to do research on the same topic. For the State Civil Apparatus, this research is expected to be a reference material in motivating the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) to be more disciplined in their work in order to improve the performance of government agencies in the sub-district office in the islands, especially the State Civil Apparatus in a government of the Menui Islands District.

This is caused because there are still some employees who just let go of responsibilities and there is no commitment to work, and there is no self-awareness that the work delegated to employees is a responsibility that must be completed.

Based on the information above, the Menui Islands sub-district office needs emphasis from the leadership to complete the work in accordance with the duties and responsibilities so that the expected results can be maximized in accordance with the predetermined targets.

C.    Results of Hypothesis Analysis and Testing

N = 23

α= 0,05

Source: Primary Data (processed) in 2022

 

Based on the results of calculations as in table 10. then the following explanation can be put forward:

a.    Fcount value of 221.415 with a significance value of Fsig = 0.000 which means that (Fsig <0.05), then statistically the information technology variable (X1) work discipline (X2) and work motivation (X3) on employee performance (Y) simultaneously (together) has a significant effect on employee performance (Y) at the 95% confidence level

b.    The R value (correlation coefficient number) of 0.986 indicates that the close relationship between information technology variables (X1) work discipline (X2) and work motivation (X3) on employee performance (Y) is 0.986. This relationship is statistically very strong, as stated by Sugiyono (1999:216) that the relationship is classified as very strong at 0.80-1,000.

c.     The value of R (R-Sguare) of 0.972 indicates that the magnitude of the direct influence of information technology variables (X1), work discipline (X2), work motivation (X3) on employee performance (Y) is 97.2%, which means that the technology variable information (X1), work discipline (X2), and work motivation (X3) on employee performance (Y) at the Menui Islands sub-district office. The remaining 2.8% is influenced by other variables from this study.

Therefore, the resulting regression model can be said to be a "fit" model or can be a good predictor model by explaining the influence of information technology, work discipline, and work motivation on the performance of the sub-district office employees in the Menui Islands. On this basis, the resulting regression model as a model for explaining the influence of information technology, work discipline, and work motivation on employee performance at the Menui Islands sub-district office can be stated as follows:

0.279X1 + 0.325X2 + 0.419X3+ 1.328

Where: Y = Employee Performance 1 = 0.279

X1 = Information Technology 2 = 0.325

X2 = Work Discipline 3 = 0.419

X3 = Work Motivation � (standard error) = 1.328

2.    Partial Regression Model Test Results

The results of the regression analysis in table 5.10 above can be interpreted as follows:

a.    The effect of the variable X1 (work technology on Y (employee performance) obtained a sig value of 0.007 which means it is smaller than the value of = 0.05. Therefore, the information technology variable (X1) partially has a sig. effect on employee performance (Y). On this basis, the information technology variable (X1) can be included as one of the estimating variables for the performance of the staff of the Menui Islands sub-district office.

b.    The effect of the X2 variable (work discipline) on the sig value obtained. sebasar 0.009 which means it is smaller than the value of = 0.05. Therefore, the work discipline variable (X2) partially has a sig. on employee performance (Y). On this basis, the work discipline variable (X2) can be included as one of the estimating variables for the performance of the staff of the Menui Islands sub-district office.

c.     The effect of the X3 variable (work motivation) on the sig. sebasar 0.000 which means it is smaller than the value of = 0.05. Therefore, the work motivation variable (X3) partially has an effect on sig. on employee performance (Y). On this basis, the work motivation variable (X3) can be included as one of the estimating variables for the performance of the employees of the Menui Islands sub-district office.

3.     Hypothesis Testing

The first hypothesis proposed in this study is that information technology, work discipline, and work motivation have a positive and significant effect on employee performance at the Menui Islands sub-district office. To prove this hypothesis using simultaneous regression testing using this significance of 0.000 which means it is smaller than the value of = 0.05. Therefore, overall or jointly the variables of information technology (X1), work discipline (X2), and work motivation (X3) have a significant effect on employee performance (Y) at the Menui Islands sub-district office. On this basis, the first hypothesis that was previously proposed can be accepted because it is proven true.

The second hypothesis proposed in this study is that information technology has a positive and significant effect on employee performance at the Menui Islands District office. To prove this hypothesis using partial regression testing using a significance value of 0.007, which means it is smaller than a = 0.05. Therefore, partially the X1 variable (information technology) has a significant effect on the performance of employees at the Menui Kepulan sub-district office. On this basis, the second hypothesis previously proposed can be accepted because it is proven true

The third hypothesis proposed in this study is that work discipline has a positive and significant effect on employee performance at the Menui Islands sub-district office. to prove this hypothesis using partial regression testing using a significant value of 0.009 which means it is smaller than the value of a = 0.05. Therefore, partially the X2 variable (work discipline) has a significant effect on the performance of employees at the Menui Islands sub-district office. On this basis, the third hypothesis that was previously proposed can be accepted because it is proven true.

The fourth hypothesis proposed in this study is that work motivation has a positive and significant effect on the performance of the employees of the Menui Islands sub-district office. to prove this hypothesis using a significant value of 0.000 which means it is smaller than the value of a = 0.05. Therefore, partially the X3 variable (work motivation) has a positive and significant effect on the performance of employees at the Menui Islands sub-district office. On this basis, the fourth hypothesis previously proposed can be accepted because it is proven true.

D.   Discussion of Research Results

1.    The Influence of Information Technology, Work Discipline and Work Motivation

Against the Performance of the Menui Islands District Office Employees Based on the results of data analysis in the study, the regression coefficient value was obtained which showed a positive and significant effect between information technology, work discipline and work motivation on employee performance at the Meni Islands sub-district office. This shows that information technology, work discipline and work motivation will be able to improve employee performance.

The results of this study are also in line with the opinion expressed by Robins (1996:152) which states that the level will greatly depend on the ability of the employee itself, such as the level of education, knowledge, experience where the level of ability is also higher. Thus, low levels of education, knowledge and experience will have a negative and negative impact on employee performance.

The results of this study are in line with the opinion expressed by (Robins et al., 2009)) which reveals that employees who have a high level of involvement are very impartial and really care about the field of work they do. Someone who has high work involvement will melt in the work he is doing. High levels of job involvement are associated with Organizational Citizenchip Behavior and performance. In addition, high levels of engagement can reduce employee absenteeism.

The results of this study are in line with the opinions expressed by (Cahyono, 2005) and (Miles & Sunstein, 2006) which state that there is one factor that affects performance, namely the motivation factor, where motivation is a condition that moves a person to try to achieve goals or achieve the desired result. (Y. Rivai et al., 2004) shows that the stronger the work motivation, the higher the employee's performance. This means that every increase in employee work motivation will provide a very significant increase with an increase in employee performance in carrying out their work.

2.    The Effect of Information Technology on Employee Performance

Based on the results of partial regression model testing, it is known that information technology has a positive and significant effect on employee performance at the Menui Islands sub-district office. It can be explained that each factor that is an indicator item used to measure information technology is a factor that determines employee performance at work.

The results of this study are in line with the opinion expressed by (Muzakki et al., 2016) which revealed that the ease of use of IT can improve employee performance, ease of use of IT such as easy to understand and learn, controlled, clear and understandable, flexible, skilled and easy to use influential positive on employee performance. If the ease of using IT is implemented properly and appropriately, it will support employee performance optimally.

The results of this study indicate that the benefits of IT have a significant effect on employee performance. This shows that the benefits of IT are able to improve employee performance, the benefits of IT such as working faster, better performance, increasing productivity, making work more effective, making work easier, and useful having a positive effect on employee performance. If the benefits of IT are implemented properly and appropriately, it will support employee performance optimally.

Then the results of this study are also in line with the opinion expressed by (Fajri, 2011) which states that the use of information technology has a positive influence on employee performance. This means that for the ease and suitability of the task with the software used, it affects the speed of the employee working in the work he is doing, it will affect the accuracy in doing the work. The suitability of tasks in accordance with the expertise of using technology will improve the technical ability of employees. Employees who have expertise according to their field of work will greatly affect their work. This will also affect the resilience of employees in solving problems. Conditions that facilitate the use of adequate information technology will increase employee creativity, this is because curiosity for something new will grow if there are adequate facilities.

3.    The Effect of Work Discipline on Employee Performance

Based on the results of the partial regression model testing, it is known that work discipline has a positive and significant effect on employee performance at the Menui Islands sub-district office. This can be interpreted in the sense that every time there is an increase in the quality of work discipline, it will be followed by an increase in employee performance.

Based on the test results, it can be seen that work discipline is the most powerful variable in influencing employee performance at the Menui Islands sub-district office. The basic reason and in accordance with the facts that happened was that the staff of the Menui Islands sub-district office had work discipline that obeyed the rules and had good performance.

The results of this study are in accordance with the theory put forward by (Mayulu & Sutrisno, 2010) Sutrisno saying that work discipline can be seen as something that has great benefits, both for the benefit of the organization and for employees. , so that optimal results are obtained.

The results of this study are in line with previous research, namely research conducted by (Septiasari, 2017)with the title The Effect of Work Discipline on Employee Performance at the Department of Industry, Trade and Cooperative Business and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises of East Kalimantan Province in Samarinda (Secretariat Sector and Industrial Sector) which explains that Work Discipline has a significant effect on the Employee Performance variable. In terms of punctuality (going to work and leaving work), compliance with regulations, work responsibilities and carrying out duties and obligations.

4.    The Effect of Work Motivation on Employee Performance

Based on the results of partial regression model testing, it is known that work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance at the Menui Islands sub-district office. It can be interpreted that the higher the work motivation, the higher the performance of employees at the Menui Islands sub-district office. This is very logical, because employees assume that their needs are in accordance with what they get as an employee of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). Motivation arises because of a need and therefore the action is directed towards the achievement of certain goals. If the goal has been achieved, satisfaction will be achieved and it tends to be repeated, so that it is stronger and more stable.

Based on the test results, it can be seen that work motivation is the most powerful variable in influencing employee performance at the Menui Islands sub-district office. The basic reason and in accordance with the empirical phenomenon is that employees at the Archipelago Menu Sub-district office have good work motivation. This can be seen from the work motivation obtained by employees both within themselves and co-workers and other parties through the need for employees to increase knowledge, expertise, cooperation and independence in work with the aim of meeting work performance needs, trusting leaders to delegate authority to complete work.

With the emergence of enthusiasm and enthusiasm for employee work, it is hoped that employees can be motivated, to achieve what they want, they must try to do their best. A person's performance or achievement depends on that person's motivation for the work done. The higher a person's motivation to do the job, the higher the level of performance. Conversely, the lower a person's motivation to do a job, the lower the level of performance.

The results of this study are in line with the opinions expressed by (Cahyono, 2005) and (Judges, 2006) which state that there is one factor that affects performance, namely the motivation factor, where motivation is a condition that moves a person to try to achieve goals or achieve goals desired result. (V. Rivai, 2016) shows that the stronger the work motivation, the higher the employee's performance. This means that every increase in employee performance motivation in carrying out their work.

The results of this study are also in line with the opinion expressed by (Porter, 1991) which states that one of the things that is closely related to how to change poor work performance or maintain good performance is to increase work motivation. Employees who have high work motivation will produce good performance, they will be more involved in all aspects of their work and will also be easier to work with to achieve goals. The results of this study are also in line with the results of previous research conducted by (Listianto & Setiaji, 2005) which states that work motivation has a significant effect on performance. The higher the employee's work motivation, the higher the employee's performance will be.
