The Effect of Human Resource Quality on Employee Performance Effectiveness at the Secretariat of the Regional House of Representatives of Dairi Regency

Abstract

This study examined the effect of Human Resource Quality on Employee Performance Effectiveness at the Secretariat of the Regional House of Representatives of Dairi Regency, Indonesia. In the context of public sector organizations, the quality of human resources plays a crucial role in supporting institutional performance. High-quality human resources, characterized by adequate knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes, are expected to enhance employees’ ability to perform their duties effectively. Therefore, this research aimed to provide empirical evidence regarding the contribution of human resource quality to improving employee performance effectiveness within the institution. A quantitative approach was employed using survey data collected from 36 employees through a structured questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the research instrument were tested using Pearson’s correlation and Cronbach’s Alpha, confirming that all questionnaire items were valid and reliable. Descriptive analysis indicated that both Human Resource Quality and Employee Performance Effectiveness were positively perceived by respondents, as reflected in relatively favorable mean scores and consistent responses. Furthermore, simple linear regression analysis and a t-test were conducted to test the proposed hypothesis. The results demonstrated a positive and statistically significant effect of Human Resource Quality on Employee Performance Effectiveness (p-value = 0.000). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.811) showed that 81.1% of the variance in Employee Performance Effectiveness can be explained by Human Resource Quality, while the remaining 18.9% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. The findings conclude that improving the quality of human resources is a key determinant in enhancing employee performance effectiveness. Strengthening employee competence, professionalism, and capacity development can significantly contribute to better organizational performance.
