Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the implementation of the SEKSAMA application, ASN competence, and organizational support on improving the performance of Pekalongan City Government employees, with transparency of performance assessment as a mediating variable. The SEKSAMA application was developed to replace the manual system of recording sub-activity performance achievements and integrated with e-TPP as the basis for calculating ASN TPP. The approach used is quantitative through a survey of 80 ASN planning and evaluation managers in OPD and sub-units, with a Likert scale questionnaire instrument. Data analysis was carried out using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method based on SmartPLS 4.0. The results of the study showed that ASN competence and organizational support had a significant positive effect on improving performance. The implementation of the SEKSAMA application did not have a direct effect on performance, but had an indirect effect through transparency of performance assessment. This finding confirms that transparency is an important mediator in connecting digital technology with improved performance. The implication is that a digital system such as SEKSAMA needs to be supported by training, openness of information, and organizational support in order to be able to drive optimal ASN performance.
