The Role of Electronic Management Implementation in Affecting Police Investigators Performance
ABSTRACT : This paper aims to propose a research model related to the effect of information system
implementation, namely electronic investigation management (EMP), in the Indonesia National Police Criminal
Investigation Agency on the performance of police Criminal Investigators. This paper proposes eight hypotheses
that integrate theories of organizational behavior that drive individual performance. The results of empirical
studies are expected to reveal how individual performance can be improved by paying attention to several
things such as the existence of commitment to change and job satisfaction. Implementation of information
systems will run well if individuals have a commitment to change. In addition, the implementation of
information systems must be able to provide job satisfaction to employees so that individual performance is as
expected. In addition, this paper will review the implementation of information systems that are less good will
lead to counterproductive work behavior.
I. INTRODUCTION
In the current era of the industrial revolution 4.0 where integration between humans and information
technology is increasing and full of competition, organizations are demanded to continue to develop effectively
and dynamically so that they can survive. The organization will be able to survive if supported by the resources
within it. Resources owned by organizations both public sector and private sector organizations are assets whose
function will be maximized to realize organizational goals. Organizational assets can be tangible assets and
intangible assets which include human capital, customer capital, social capital, and intellectual capital (Noe,
2014). The platform is in line with the opinion of Waterman et al. (1980) in the 7S Mc Kinsey model that all
components of the organization in the form of strategy, structure, systems, skills, staff, style and shared values
have a connection and are important factors in supporting organizational effectiveness, so that organizations are
able to face complexity and demands in competition (Waterman , Peters, & Phillips, 1980). The existing
resources in the organization will develop dynamically according to the rhythm of activities and the fulfilment
of human needs. The most decisive factor to answer the demands of development is human resources who
master science and technology, so that these human resources will ultimately determine the main objectives of
the organization can be achieved or not (Samsudin, 2006).
Thus, everyone in the organization is expected to be able to provide satisfying personal service and
performance so that the performance of the organization increases. Organizational performance can be formed
optimally if the human resources in it strive to consistently carry out their duties and obligations and contribute
to the organization.
In addition to human resources, another factor that supports performance is the availability of up to
date equipment and technology support. The use of appropriate technology in an organization to support work
professionalism will be able to improve performance and provide its own advantages in the organization. As
technology continues to accelerate, organizations in both the private and public sectors are required to be able to
deal with shifts in the world of work. This situation forces the organization to make a change and develop a
strategy, one of which is through the application of technology-based innovation where the implementation of
work that was still mostly using manual processes turned into automation and digital.
However, organizations also face their own challenges when implementing these technological
changes. As shown by Klein & Sorra (1996) that organizational climate, conformity to organizational values
will affect the effectiveness of implementing an innovation. The output of implementation can be in the form of
resistance, avoidance, compliance and commitment. Resistance and avoidance by organizational members will
occur if the application of innovation is not going well, but conversely if the application of innovation runs well
there will appear compliance and commitment from members of the organization to implement the innovation.
Commitment to support changes owned by members of the organization will be able to improve individual
performance and have an impact on boosting organizational performance.
Several authors have conducted studies related to the use of information technology and commitment
to implement changes in efforts to improve individual performance. Antasari & Yaniartha (2015) conducted a
study of employees at the Denpasar City Parking Area Company regarding the use of information technology
and individual performance and gave results that the application of Accounting Information Systems and the use
of information technology had a positive effect on individual performance.
Other research conducted by Terek, et. al. in 2018 against companies in Serbia. This study explains the
relationship between information technology, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The results
showed that there was a significant correlation between information technology and job satisfaction, information
technology and organizational commitment, and the motivation of employees to work with modern information
technology was very clear. Other studies also provide results that are not much different, namely innovation has
a high impact on employee productivity (Obeng & Boachie, 2018).
From a number of review studies that have been conducted, studies on the use of information
technology and commitment to implement changes in efforts to improve individual performance have not been
conducted on one of the public organizations in Indonesia which is a state tool with an important role in
maintaining security and public order, enforcing the law, and provide protection, protection and services to the
community in the context of maintaining domestic security, namely the Indonesian National Police (Polri).
The use of information technology as a supporting means to boost performance improvement should be
done by public organizations in Indonesia, including the National Police organization. This needs to be done by
Polri organizations because the community is very focused on Polri's performance. Polri's organization received
a sharp scrutiny from the public regarding performance because in accordance with the main tasks and functions
mandated by the Law, both the 1945 Constitution and Law No. 2 of 2002 concerning the Indonesian National
Police, the National Police is the only front guard law enforcement directly facing with the community. Thus the
Police must be able to provide optimal service as a problem solver that is able to respond quickly, because in the
era of globalization and liberalization of the world today the modus operandi of crime in society is increasingly
facilitated by information technology.
The role and function of law enforcement is carried out by one of the work units in the National Police
institution, namely the Indonesian Police Criminal Investigation Agency. The National Police Criminal
Investigation Agency (Bareskrim Polri) as part of the National Police and parent organization as well as the
head of the Criminal Investigation Function in Indonesia at the central level is the main gate of the law
enforcement function through the collection of evidence of an alleged crime. The community has demands and
hopes for the National Police, especially the detective function to realize the legal objectives, namely justice,
expediency, legal certainty. The maximum achievement of these objectives is inseparable from the performance
of the Investigators at the National Police, particularly within the Police Criminal Investigation Agency because
the Investigator is the spearhead of the chain in the criminal justice process.
The individual performance measurement of the National Police Investigator is carried out on his
ability to carry out the technical functions of the investigation and his behavior as an employee. One of the
benchmarks for evaluating the performance of a National Police Investigator in carrying out an investigative
technical function is the length of time a case investigation is conducted. Based on the investigation period that
has been determined, the Investigator is required to be able to complete his duties and responsibilities according
to a predetermined deadline so that the community's assessment of the performance of the National Police in
particular the criminal function will be good.
The current phenomenon is that the number of public complaints in the category of no progress or slow
handling of cases by the Criminal Investigation Police every year from 2016 to 2018 continues to increase. This
condition will cause a lack of public assessment of the performance of the National Police, especially the
performance of the National Police Investigator.
In order to improve services to the community and respond to the challenges of change that occur in
the current digital revolution era, the National Police Chief is trying to improve the performance of investigators
and realize the big data crime through innovative use of technology in work, namely an application system
capable of carrying out up-to-date investigative management administration through the system Electronic
Investigation Management (EMP) application. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a study of the effect of the
use of EMP on the performance and counterproductive work behavior of the Investigator. Through the
application of the EMP application system the criminal function is expected to be through the Investigator's
commitment to implement changes and the job satisfaction obtained can improve the Investigator's performance.
The relationship to this variable can be seen in research conducted by Suyitno in 2017. The results of
his study showed that the use of management information systems in organizations significantly improved
employee performance. In addition, the application of management information systems together with employee
competencies significantly influence performance. Obeng and Boachie (2018) conduct research related to
technology and provide results that have high innovation on employee productivity. Antasari and Yaniartha
conducted a study in 2015 with more or less the same variables, namely regarding Accounting Information
Systems and information technology on individuals who produce accounting information systems and the use of
information technology that improves individual performance. This means that the increase in accounting
information systems increases, so the increase in individuals also increases. The connection between the two
matters was also agreed by Mosuin, et al (2019) and gave the result that the level of acceptance of applying the
Accrual Accounting System among accountants in the public sector significantly influenced their work
performance.
Hypothesis 1: EMP significantly influences the performance of the Investigator.
behavior. One implication of this finding is that managers can change counterproductive behavior by increasing
employee behavior such as affective commitment.
Hypothesis 6: Commitment to change significantly influences counterproductive work behavior.
The information technology used by the National Police Investigator in the form of an EMP is an
application system capable of digitizing investigative management administration. Website based EMP
application. This system functions as a criminal database for the needs of criminality analysis, a database of
criminal offenders to uncover a criminal case, a quick and accurate case search system, an investigator
performance appraisal system, a data processing system for the needs of analysis and evaluation of handling
criminal cases. The level of EMP acceptance is measured by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theory
introduced by Davis (Davis, 1989). This theory emphasizes the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.
Herscovitch and Meyer (2002) define commitment to change as a force (mindset) that binds individuals
towards actions that are deemed necessary for the successful implementation of change initiatives. The
instrument used to measure the commitment to change variable was adopted from indicators proposed by
Herscovitch and Meyer (2002). Job satisfaction is interpreted by Kreitner and Kinicki (2014) as an affective or
emotional response to various aspects of one's work. Job satisfaction reflects the degree to which someone likes
his job. The work satisfaction measurement method adopted adopted the theory put forward by Camman,
Fichman, Jenkins & Klesh (1979), namely the Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire Job
Satisfaction Subscale (MOAQ-JSS). The measurement of job satisfaction using MOAQ-JSS only consists of 3
items and is a valid measure of the affective component of job satisfaction and assesses job satisfaction globally.
Job satisfaction not only involves the mind but also individual feelings towards their work. Each of the three
MOAQ-JSS items, for example the words ‘‘satisfied "or‘‘like" which can be described as affective or
emotionally oriented words (Bowling & Hammond, 2008).
The definition of performance according to Rothwell, Honhe & King (2000) is that performance is
related to the results of achievements made by a person, group or organization. The elaboration of dimensions in
performance measurement was adopted from Aguinis (2009). Counterproductive work behavior according to
Bennet & Robinson (2000) is a situation where employees lack the motivation to meet social expectations or
social norms that apply in an organization. Counterproductive work behavior measurement uses indicators
adopted from Bennet & Robinson (2000). The measurement of all variables in this study uses intervals ranging
from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree).
4.2 Testing
To test the hypotheses, data will be gathered by using survey. Data will be summarized and analysed
using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with Lisrell Software. Descriptive analysis will be calculated, and
inferential analysis will be conducted to test the relationship between each of the variables. Validity and
reliability of the instrument will use factor loading and principal components analysis.
V. CONCLUSION
To prove the implementation of information system (EMP) in Indonesia National Police Criminal
Investigation Agency has influence on individual performance, this paper proposed eight hypotheses. Previous
research revealed that the implementation of information system can not be directly influence performance, but
there are other factors as mediating. This research select commitment to change and job satisfaction as
mediating variables to mediate the relationship between EMP and Individual performance. This paper also
considers the counterproductive work behavior could be occurred if there are poor implementation that can
cause dissatisfaction of the employee. Examining the integrated possible result cause of the implementation of
EMP can give scholars valuable insight regarding to implementation information system issues relevant to
today’s organization practice.
