Digital Competence and Its Effect on Self-Efficacy: A Study at the Communication and Informatics Office of Langkat Regency
Keywords:
Digital Competence, Self-Efficacy, ExperimentalAbstract
This study investigates the influence of digital competence on self-efficacy among employees at the Communication and Informatics Office of Langkat Regency. Using a quantitative approach with a sample of 30 employees, the research instrument's validity and reliability were confirmed through Pearson's correlation and Cronbach's Alpha tests, respectively. The reliability analysis yielded high Cronbach's Alpha values (0.781 for Digital Competence and 0.806 for Self-Efficacy), indicating strong internal consistency. Descriptive analysis revealed a highly positive perception for both variables, with a mean score of 4.38 for Digital Competence and 4.35 for Self-Efficacy, supported by low standard deviations (0.44 and 0.38). The core finding from the inferential analysis confirms a positive and statistically significant influence of digital competence on self-efficacy (p-value = 0.000). A simple linear regression analysis showed that digital competence explains 41.0% of the variance in self-efficacy (R² = 0.410), while the t-test results (t_calculated = 4.145 > t_table = 1.7011) provided conclusive evidence to reject the null hypothesis. The study concludes that digital competence is a significant determinant of self-efficacy in this institutional context, suggesting that enhancing employees' digital skills is a crucial strategy for boosting their confidence and capability in a digitally transformed public sector.
