ABSTRACT
This
study aims to analyze the effect of Knowledge Management on ASN Employee
Innovation of the Ministry of Transportation. The number of samples in this
study were 249 respondents using the slovin technique
from all units in the Ministry of Transportation. Data was collected using
questionnaires, observations and interviews with related parties. The data
analysis technique used is the mix method with multiple linear regression
analysis and indicator analysis. The results show that the Knowledge management
variable partially has a positive effect on Employee Innovation at a
significance level of 0.05 with a beta coefficient () 0.180 with the
resulting regression equation is Y 108.581 0.180X 2 which means that every
increase in one level of Knowledge Management will resulted in an increase in
Employee Innovation of 0.180 at a constant of 108,581. Thus, knowledge
management is predicted to increase employee innovation.

INTRODUCTION
Employees who have good Knowledge Management will
contribute and be more enthusiastic in innovating in their organization.
Knowledge Management is very much needed for employees as an employee support
system for readiness and speed in working which is obtained from the knowledge
management process. The process of exchanging knowledge and information, one of
which can be obtained through training with target participants according to
the needs of the agency, the following is a table of training as an implication
of a decline in the Knowledge Management process at the Ministry of
Transportation. The sample taken in this research is Esselon
3 and 4 as policy executor and people who carry out activities directly execute
all program activities.

Based on the table above, it can be concluded that the
education and training carried out by employees decreased in 2017 and 2019. The
Secretariat of the Transportation Human Resources Development Agency did not
hold overseas training due to the absence of an overseas training budget. So
that the Knowledge Management process is not good and not optimal. The
realization of training participants in 2020 increased by 617 participants (5%)
from 2019. The decrease in the realization of the number of training
participants when compared to 2019 was from Pre-service Training, where in 2020
the Center for Human Resources Development of the Transportation Apparatus did
not hold the training due to Covid-19 19.
According to (Marquardt, 2002) KM is an organizational activity (organizational
members) in collecting, organizing, storing, transferring and using knowledge
and experience inside and outside the organization. The main elements are; 1)
Collecting: knowledge gathering, 2) Storaging: documentation
and storage of knowledge, 3) Transfer among members: exchange and transfer of
knowledge between members of the organization, 4) Application: application of
knowledge in work, 5) Distribution/Dissemination: successful distribution of
knowledge applied.
According to Taylor (2017:128-146), Innovation is the
creation and implementation of new processes, products, services, and delivery
methods that result in significant improvements in results, efficiency,
effectiveness or quality. The indicators of innovation are 1) Process
innovation is a process that aims to produce something of value that can be
traded, developed and exploited commercially, 2) Service innovation is a change
that can be developed through the development of ideas from the organizational
or public sector.
This study aims to find efforts to determine the
effect of knowledge management on employee innovation at the Ministry of
Transportation by identifying, analyzing and developing the strengths of the
relationship/influence between these variables, as follows:
1.
To find out Knowledge
Management at the Ministry of Transportation.
2.
To find out the
innovations of employees of the Ministry of Transportation.
3.
To determine the
effect of knowledge management on employee innovation.
METHOD
1.
Research Population
In research, data
collection activities are the most important stage. Before collecting data, it
is necessary to determine the population of the research object first.
According to (Sugiyono, 2018) said that the population is a generalization area
consisting of: objects/subjects that have certain qualities and characteristics
determined by researchers to be studied and then drawn conclusions.
Meanwhile,
according to (Abdurrahmat, 2006) the population is the entire elementary unit whose
parameters will be estimated through statistical analysis results conducted on
the research sample. As explained in the limitation of the problem, the population of this study
was only 714 non-structural employees of the Secretariat General of the
Ministry of Transportation.

Research Sample
According to (Sugiyono, 2018) the sample is part of the number and characteristics
possessed by the population. Samples taken from the population must be truly
representative (representative). The sampling technique used in this study is
proportional random sampling technique , so that each research unit or
elementary unit of the population has the same opportunity to be selected as a
sample. Determination of the amount using the Slovin formula, namely:

Information:
n �� : number of samples
N

Data
analysis method
a. Descriptive
Statistics
Descriptive statistical analysis is the presentation
of data through tables, graphs, histograms, calculation of the median, mode,
mean, calculation of the average and standard deviation.
b. Statistical
Analysis Requirements Test
The second stage calculates the strength of
the relationship between variables through correlation analysis, making
predictions with simple and multiple regression with a significant value of =
0.05%.
Prior to the indicator analysis, the analysis
requirements are first tested, namely:
1) Normality
test
According to Ghozali
(2016) the normality test is carried out to test whether in a regression model,
an independent variable and a dependent variable or both have a normal or
abnormal distribution. If a variable is not normally distributed, then the
results of the statistical test will decrease. The normality test of the data
can be done by using the One Sample Kolmogorov Smirnov test, with the condition
that if the significance value is above 5% or 0.05 then the data has a normal
distribution. Meanwhile, if the results of the Kolmogorov Smirnov One Sample
test produce a significant value below 5% or 0.05 then the data does not have a
normal distribution.
2) Variant
Homogeneity Test
The homogeneity test is used to determine
whether or not there is a deviation from the classical assumption of
homogeneity, namely the existence of an inequality of variance from the
residuals for all observations in the regression model. The prerequisite that
must be met in the regression model is the absence of heteroscedasticity
symptoms. The Glejser test is carried out by
regressing the independent variable with the absolute residual value (ABS_RES).
If the significance value between the independent variable and the absolute
residual is more than 0.05, then there is no heteroscedasticity problem.
3) Regression
Linearity Test
Regression linearity test aims to determine
the form of the relationship whether the variables of employee innovativeness
(Y), the motivation variable (X1), knowledge management (X2), and the
application of information and communication technology (X3) form a straight
line or not, then linear regression analysis and linearity requirements are met
with the value of Sig. Deviation > 0.005. This means that a simple linear
regression model can be used to predict the variable level.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
1.
Normality test
According to Ghozali (2016) the normality test is carried
out to test whether in a regression model, an independent variable and a
dependent variable or both have a normal or abnormal distribution. If a
variable is not normally distributed, then the results of the statistical test
will decrease. The normality test of the data can be done by using the One
Sample Kolmogorov Smirnov test, with the condition that if the significance
value is above 5% or 0.05 then the data has a normal distribution. Meanwhile,
if the results of the Kolmogorov Smirnov One Sample test produce a significant
value below 5% or 0.05 then the data does not have a normal distribution.
The normality test in this study has a residual
significance value of x1 which is 0.457 > 0.005. significance value above 5%
or 0.05 then the data has a normal distribution. then the data has a normal
distribution.
2.
Homogeneity Test
The homogeneity test is used to determine whether or not
there is a deviation from the classical assumption of homogeneity, namely the
existence of an inequality of variance from the residuals for all observations
in the regression model. The prerequisite that must be met in the regression
model is the absence of heteroscedasticity symptoms. The Glejser test is
carried out by regressing the independent variable with the absolute residual
value (ABS_RES). If the significance value between the independent variable and
the absolute residual is more than 0.05, then there is no heteroscedasticity
problem.
Based on the results of the study, the significance value
between the independent variables x1 is 0.927 with an absolute residual of more
than 0.05, so there is no heteroscedasticity problem.
3.
Linearity Test
a. Test the linearity of the X1 variable against Y
The
linearity test hypotheses in this study are:
Ho��� : Knowledge
Management (X1) variable data on Employee Innovation (Y) does not have a linear
pattern.
H1��� : Knowledge
Management (X1) variable data on Employee Innovation (Y) has a linear pattern.
In this study, the significance level used was = 5% or
0.05. Based on calculations using SPSS, the results can be seen in the table
below:
Table 4. Linearity Test Results Variable X2
against Y

Thus, it can be interpreted that the regression equation
model, the regression t over X1 is linear and the linearity requirement is met
with the value of Sig. Deviation 0.307 > 0.005. This means that a simple
linear regression model can be used to predict the level of Employee Innovation
which is influenced by Knowledge Management.

Based on the table above, it is known that the slope
constant (a) is 108,581 with a regression coefficient () of 0.180 so
that the regression equation formed between the Knowledge Management variable
and Employee Innovation is =108.581+0.180X2.

Knowledge
Management on Employee Innovation

Given the value of Sig. The effect of X1 on Y is 0.000
<0.05. t table = t (a/2 : n-k-1) = (0.0025:247) = 1.969 and the t-count
value is 3.655 > t-table is 1.969. So it can be concluded that H1 is
accepted which means there is an effect of X1 on Y.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of the study, it can be
concluded that this research has found efforts to increase the innovation of
employees of the Central Ministry of Transportation through strengthening work
motivation and knowledge management. There is a positive and significant
influence of Knowledge Management on Employee Innovation as indicated by the
regression coefficient () 0.180 with the resulting regression equation
is Y 108.581 0.180X 2 which means that every increase in one level of Knowledge
Management will result in an increase in Employee Innovation of 0.180 at constant
108,581. Thus, knowledge management is predicted to increase employee
innovation. Based on the results of the determination test calculation, it can
be seen that the effective contribution (SE) of the Knowledge Management
variable (X2) to Innovativeness (Y) is 3.42%. Thus, increasing knowledge
management is predicted to increase employee innovation.
