THE ROLE OF MANAGEMENT SUPPORT IN ENHANCING IT UTILIZATION FOR EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE

This study aims to examine the effect of information technology (IT) utilization on employee performance, with management support as a moderating variable. The theoretical foundation of this research is the Task- Technology Fit (TTF) model, which posits that IT contributes to individual performance when its features align with the user's task requirements. The study employed a quantitative descriptive method using survey data collected from 58 employees at the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Treasury in Central Java Province. The research instruments were adapted from validated previous studies and analyzed using simple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The findings show that IT utilization has a positive influence on employee performance, especially when it helps streamline tasks, improve productivity, and support work effectiveness. Furthermore, management support manifested through active involvement, resource provision, and leadership in change significantly moderates the relationship between IT use and performance outcomes. This research contributes to the discourse in Human Resource Management and Information Systems, providing strategic recommendations for enhancing IT adoption and employee productivity in public sector institutions.
