Ability and Motivation in Digital Work Systems: The Role of Training and Incentives in Shaping Workforce Performance
Keywords:
Incentives, Training, Performance, Human Development Cadres, eHDW ApplicationAbstract
This study examines the influence of incentives and training on the performance of Human Development Cadres, in entering data into the Electronic Human Development Worker (eHDW) application. Using a quantitative descriptive–associative method, data were collected from 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The research employed questionnaires, documentation, and field observations, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25 through validity, reliability, correlation, coefficient of determination, and multiple linear regression tests. The results indicate that both incentives and training positively and significantly affect Human Development Cadres performance, either partially or simultaneously, with training having a more dominant effect. These findings highlight the importance of appropriate incentive schemes and consistent training to improve cadre performance in supporting stunting prevention programs. The study provides valuable insights for local governments in formulating policies and strategies to enhance Human Development Cadres effectiveness.
