Analysis of Lecturer Performance In Increasing Productivity of Indonesian Polytechnic Venezuela In Aceh Besar

Abstract

Higher education is one of the subsystems of national education. The presence of higher education plays a crucial role in the life of the nation and the state. The quality of higher education depends on the quality of lecturers, especially in terms of their professional competence, which will contribute to the improvement of the quality of higher education and ultimately have an impact on the progress of national education. Lecturers have primary duties and obligations outlined in the "tridharma" of higher education, and these duties must be reported to the institution and higher education service institutions each semester, resulting in periodic work performance outcomes often referred to as the lecturer's workload. Lecturer's Workload is a performance report that includes components related to educational delivery, research, community service, and supporting activities within a specified time frame. This research aims to analyze the performance of lecturers in improving the productivity of the Polytechnic of Indonesia Venezuela. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques involve observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is qualitative descriptive analysis with data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results indicate that the performance achievements of Poliven lecturers in terms of career development or promotions have not improved the productivity of Poliven. This is because, on average, Poliven lecturers are not consistent in proposing functional positions or promotions in accordance with the established schedule. The performance achievements of Poliven lecturers in the field of the three pillars of higher education, particularly in education and teaching, meet the workload targets well, thus enhancing Poliven's productivity. However, the performance achievements of Poliven lecturers in the field of research and community service have seen only a slight improvement and meet the workload targets. This is because there have been no research or community service results that have obtained intellectual property rights (HAKI) or patents.
