Port Authority Readiness Assessment: The Impact of Disruption Technology Information in Indonesia

Information technology disruption has spread to the global shipping industry, including its application in ports. The purpose of this study is to measure the readiness of port management organizations in Indonesia to face this disruption, as seen from the aspects of individual employees and financial aspects influenced by the level of IT use. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach involving 65 port managers through a survey, followed by model measurement using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and critical interval measurement. The results of the study indicate that individual readiness and financial readiness have an effect on organizational readiness in facing IT disruption, with strong intervention from the level of IT use within the organization. In addition to measuring the effects on organizational readiness, this study categorizes the level of readiness of each variable of individual readiness, financial readiness, and organizational readiness. The findings of this study indicate that although the organizational readiness of the Port is categorized as good, it is still at the lower threshold. Therefore, it is necessary to improve readiness in several indicators and variables that still have sufficient values, namely the employee competency readiness variable and organizational financial readiness.
