Perspectives on Managing State Assets in the Public Service Agency Policies: A Multisite Study at Indonesian Islamic State Universities

Indonesia's policy granted state universities with excellent asset management to manage their business independently. This study explored asset management practices at Indonesian state Islamic universities to reveal and evaluate the asset management practices. This study uses a qualitative research paradigm with a multisite approach. In-depth interviews and non-participant observation, including leaders of public service agencies, finance officials, asset managers, and financial management staff, were used as a data collection strategy. This study's findings indicate unpreparedness and dilemma in managing the university's assets, caused by the mindset of principals trapped in the old-school government paradigm. As they are encouraged to increase their income from asset management, they are also expected to reduce public subsidies. Weak asset management and low contribution to university funding are also present. Public universities must build a paradigm transformation from the government agency to agencification (semi-autonomy), from bureaucracy to entrepreneurship, both in mindset, system, and university management.

SISTEM INFORMASI MANAJEMEN ASET BERBASIS WEB DI UNIVERSITAS TEKNLOGI SUMBAWA

Sumbawa University of Technology is one of the universities in West Nusa Tenggara which is located in the village of Pernek, Moyohilir District, Sumbawa Regency. Sumbawa University of Technology owns a building, and has many assets that have not been digitized and asset management is still done by filling in data in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, data entered such as asset procurement, asset location, asset data written off, and asset data that has experienced depreciation. all felt less effective and efficient. So we need a system that accommodates all of these needs. This study uses a qualitative approach and the software development method used is the System Development Life Circle (SDLC) spiral model and the black-box test method. The process of modeling and designing the system is done by object using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The conclusion of this research is to produce a Web-Based Asset Management Information System at the Sumbawa Technology University which is able to facilitate the management of Sumbawa Technology University's assets to be more effective and efficient

The role of informatics in the development of the performance of the professor from the perspective of teaching at the University of Garmian

The research aims to identify the role of information technology in the development of university professor performance from the perspective of faculty members in Garmeyan / Kalar University, as well as to identify the degree of availability of information assets at the university, and the skill of information for teachers, and constraints.
 To achieve this, I rely The search sample of professors Garmeyan University (within the geographical location of the city of Kalar) consisting of (40) as a teacher, which formed 35% of the study population, has been collecting data using a questionnaire composed of four sections: Section I: included preliminary information and section II: This included paragraphs information on the university's assets in the field of IT, and section III includes informatics areas, which included 29 items distributed among three sub-areas, namely (resource of knowledge, software, hardware and tools), section IV has included question about the main obstacles to the employment of informatics at the university.
 It was processing the data statistically using the arithmetic mean and standard deviation, the research found a number of conclusions the most important, the Informatics major role in the development of university professor performance from the viewpoint of the sample surveyed, as well as having some of the obstacles employ informatics in the field of university professor tasks.

Assessing the benefits of using an enterprise system in accounting information and management

PurposeThis paper examines the impact of decisions stemming from the new ERP system on the accounting information and management implemented at a large public university in Greece, based on perceived benefits according to users’ expectations and perceptions.Design/methodology/approachStructured questionnaires were used in two measurement points (pre‐ and post‐implementation) in the frame of longitudinal research. The statistical analysis methods employed factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha to evaluate the scale and t‐test to assess the significance of the means values between the two periods.FindingsThe results show that, one‐year post‐implementation, users’ perceptions are more positive compared with their expectations from the pre‐implementation period. The empirical data confirm a number of benefits derived from the new ERP system, particularly in relation to accounting information and management. The new ERP system significantly contributes towards increased flexibility in information provision, through effective monitoring and exploitation of the university's assets and revenue‐expenditure flow, and improved decision making.Originality/valueThe empirical evidence can help the university and other public organisations to establish the best way forward in fully exploiting the ERP system's potential as an innovative tool for management.
