Effectiveness of Employee Performance,


INTRODUCTION
Marriage in the history of human life has become an inseparable part.The history of marriage involves the development of culture, religion, and social structures in various societies.In ancient times, marriage was often used as a tool to consolidate power, preserve inheritance, and build relationships between family and community.Marriage becomes an important platform to express love, affection, commitment, and vision of the future with your partner (Alpert, 2022).Along with the times, people began to change their views on marriage to meet the needs of modern couples who want to build a life together in love and harmony (Wallerstein, 2019).
Every couple who wants to get married must register their marriage by registering a marriage so that they can get a marriage certificate to complete population administration data as regulated by Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage in Article 2 Paragraph (2) that every marriage must be registered in accordance with the applicable law.This marriage registration has an important role because it brings various benefits that have legal implications for individuals.For example, this is necessary for inheritance purposes, ensuring the relationship of muhrim (relatives who should not marry), or directing legal proceedings in divorce cases, and so on (Muharrar, 2023).
The government agency that has a role in marriage registration is the Religious Affairs Office.Religious Affairs Office is an agency with a role as the spearhead in tasks related to Islam at the district level and is at the forefront of work because the Religious Affairs Office has a direct position in interacting with the service user community such as in the process of marriage registration, efforts to form a harmonious family or sakinah, organizing religious holiday celebrations, providing information on hisab rukyat (determining the beginning of the month in the Islamic calendar) and facilitating good relations with local scholars and religious leaders (Wahidi, Yasin, & Kadarisman, 2019).
The validity of a marriage has two inseparable aspects in the context of marriage registration at the Religious Affairs Office, as contained in Article 2 of Law Number 1 of 1974 which indicates that a marriage is said to be legal if it meets religious regulations and has been administratively managed in accordance with applicable regulations.This effort aims to protect and ensure that marriages performed by the community are legally valid (Laraszaty, Hasibuan, & Purba, 2022).Therefore, it is important to carry out the marriage registration process with administrative order, including completing forms correctly and undergoing an orderly registration process.As with other agencies, the Religious Affairs Office is obliged to provide satisfactory services and in accordance with community expectations to ensure the validity of their marriages.
The most important thing to monitor in registering marriage to the community is the performance of employees which will be an indicator of the success of the organization in carrying out its duties and obligations.Employees are valuable assets in organizations or institutions, and their performance has a direct impact on the productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, and overall success of the entity (Anwar & Abdullah, 2021).Therefore, employee performance management becomes an important aspect in managing an organization or institution.
The performance of employees can be considered effective or not depends on the level of service provided by them.However, it is important for management and employees to actively seek solutions in implementing their tasks in order to carry out activities effectively and without obstacles (Kowalczyk, Marcinkowski, & Przybyłek, 2022).Therefore, when the services provided by employees increase and have good quality, the expected level of effectiveness of their performance will be achieved.It can make some results in public satisfaction and comfort with the services provided by achieving effectiveness in employee performance (Astuti, Shodikin, & Maaz, 2020).
Effectiveness in employee performance refers to their ability to carry out duties and obligations with satisfactory results to achieve work targets set by the organization (Jumady & Lilla, 2021).The effectiveness of employee performance involves completing tasks with the right rules, quality, and in accordance with the time span that will later take on the entire role to achieve organizational goals (Mannayong & Djafar, 2018).
Organizational management is basically strived to produce a conducive work environment and motivate employees to achieve high performance effectiveness.This includes providing appropriate training and development, providing constructive responses, and ensuring that employees have the resources and tools needed to get the job done well (Ishak & Nurmayana, 2018).
One of the phenomena related to staffing in the latest Indonesian government agencies is that there are still many government agencies that face challenges in developing the quality and number of their employees.Some government agencies may experience obstacles in recruiting qualified employees which can be caused by intense competition in the labor market or lack of attractiveness of the government sector for young professionals.This can result in agencies lacking employees who have relevant skills and knowledge to carry out their duties and obligations (Soetrisno, 2016).
In addition, factors such as budget constraints and bureaucracy in the recruitment process and development of government employees can also be an obstacle.Limited budgets can limit government agencies' ability to provide training, development, and incentives to attract and retain quality employees.Changes in recruitment rules and regulations can also slow down the recruitment and development process (Soetrisno, 2016).
This phenomenon reflects the lack of awareness in a government agency that improving the quality and number of employees is an undeniable necessity in an effort to achieve effective employee performance.Therefore, government agencies need to find creative ways to overcome these barriers and strengthen the capacity of their employees to empower community needs and achieve more optimal public service goals in order to increase effectiveness in public services (Nekwek, 2022).Source: Kementerian Agama Kabupaten Kediri, 2022 Based on the table above, in 2022 with a total of 813 marriage registrants who recorded their marriage events at the Religious Affairs Office of Pare District, Kediri Regency.Meanwhile, the least number of registered marriage registrants in Kediri Regency in 2022 is the Religious Affairs Office of Gampengrejo District, with 224 marriage registrants.Employees of the Religious Affairs Office of Pare District, Kediri Regency are required to provide excellent service to the community in order to continue to strive to optimize marriage registration services due to the increase in the number of marriage registrants every year.Human resources with adequate performance in marriage registration services are needed to support the implementation of services so that everything can run effectively.

However, based on the author's initial observations during an internship at the Religious Affairs Office of Pare District, Kediri Regency for one month from August 29, 2022 to September 29, 2022, there were several problems that occurred in personnel at the Religious Affairs Office of Pare District, Kediri Regency.The first problem is about employee indiscipline, for example there are three employees who come and leave the office not according to the specified schedule, even though the employee is not on duty as an extension worker or guardian of a judge who marries outside the office.
While the second problem is about the lack of employees.The number of employees in the Religious Affairs Office of Pare District, Kediri Regency is only seven people consisting of six people who focus on marriage registration services, while one person focuses on waqf services.The front office concept at the Religious Affairs Office of Pare District, Kediri Regency is managed by one employee of the head of the administrative department who serves whatever is needed by the applicants.This resulted in some employees having to concurrently perform duties such as the head of the administrator who was on duty in the front office to take care of marriage registration documents also had to concurrently make marriage recommendation letters outside the district to other applicants.This often happens on Mondays and results in employees being overwhelmed because many people come to the office to take care of marriage documents.
