Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of strategic leadership, commitment of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN), and competence on ASN performance at the Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) in Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. The background of this research departs from the importance of improving the quality of ASN performance as the backbone in implementing public service, development, and community empowerment functions at the regional level. Visionary strategic leadership, ASN commitment to the organization, and adequate individual competence are believed to be the main factors that can encourage improved apparatus performance. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through distributing questionnaires to 150 respondents who were ASNs from 30 OPDs within the Ogan Komering Ulu Regency Government. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS), which aims to test the direct influence between variables. The results showed that the three independent variables, namely strategic leadership, ASN commitment, and competence, had a positive and significant influence on ASN performance. Leadership that is able to formulate strategic direction, high ASN commitment to organizational values and goals, and competencies that include knowledge, skills, and professional work attitudes, together are able to optimally improve ASN performance. These findings recommend the need for continuous efforts in strengthening leadership capacity, building a work culture that supports ASN commitment, and structured and sustainable competency development programs to achieve the vision of a ^golden Indonesia 2045^.
