INTRODUCTION

The main issue of private sector organizations let alone the public sector (government) in the current era of development is required to provide the best service to the public or consumers. Meanwhile, the service will run well if in an organization the work effectiveness of its human resources has worked well and optimally. This is in line with the opinion [1] that development and progress in various fields always prioritize work effectiveness in running the wheels of the organization. It is no less interesting about the effectiveness of work to be studied because work effectiveness cannot be separated from efforts to achieve the goals of an organization. Because the organization's goals will be achieved can also be seen to what extent the effectiveness the work of human resources who run the organization runs optimally. In addition, the effectiveness of the work of human resources of a good organization will be able to contribute to providing efficient services [2]. This is confirmed by the effectiveness of work is very necessary for an organization to achieve the goals that have been set. When work effectiveness can be created in the organization, employees will try to overcome and solve the problems faced in carrying out their duties and work [3]. Specifically, work effectiveness can be understood to what extent the work can be carried out properly and completed in accordance with the specified time. Conversely, if the work is not on time, it means that the work is not effective. [4] reveals that effectiveness is an assessment of how well the work is done and the extent to which people produce output as desired, this means that when a job is able to be completed in accordance with planning, both timeliness, cost, and quality, it can be said to be effective. Therefore, clearly, [5] work effectiveness is the completion of work in a timely manner carried out by human resources (employees) in accordance with the rules and practices used by the organization using certain resources and means to achieve goals [6].

Kelurahan is an administrative division in Indonesia below Kecamatan, in the context of regional autonomy in Indonesia. Kelurahan is the working area of the Lurah as a Regency or City Regional Apparatus. Kelurahan is led by a Lurah and assisted by a Lurah Secretary who has the status of a civil servant. Kelurahan is the smallest unit of government that has the right to regulate a more limited area. To smoothly carry out the duties of the Lurah, community institutions such as Rukun Tetangga, Rukun Warga, PKK, Karang Taruna, and Community Empowerment Institutions can be formed [7].

Based on the 2019 annual report of Kelurahan Batu IX, indications of problems were found, namely:

1. There is no synchronization of understanding of the Warning Letter (SP) mechanism and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for services at the counter officers.

2. Uneven workload on service counter officers.

3. Technical obstacles that often occur when inputting KK, which is carried out at the Batu IX Lurah Office, experiencing problems due to server interference.

4. Employees carrying out work responsibilities still cannot be on time or on time because of the absence of the Lurah or Secretary of the Lurah in place which results in not getting his signature so that the introductory files should be ready within 1x24 hours/day but can be 2 or 3 days depending on the Lurah or Secretary of the Lurah being in place. This is still far from achieving tasks and responsibilities so a lot of time is wasted.

5. Employees providing work completion services cannot be done quickly as it should be, this happens because the community's mistakes are sometimes incomplete in providing the requirements for file completeness.

6. Rainy weather is an obstacle in carrying out tasks to be ineffective, this makes people wait because there are still employees who have not arrived at the office in accordance with the rules that have been determined to work from 08.00 to 16.00 WIB. Lack of employee comfort in completing their work. As there are several items that are damaged.

These indications encourage researchers to do further deepening about “Working Effectiveness Of Batu Ix Subdistrict Office, Tanjungpinang East Sub-District, Tanjungpinang City”.

Facing the different characters of the community, sometimes employees have to be patient, sometimes they can't wait to deal with it, criticism is also often received by employees because according to the community, employees cannot complete the work as expected by the community, but there are also those who provide criticism that cannot be accepted by employees. unclear). in rainy conditions, employees who work in the field usually cannot go to the field to review if there is work related to the community in the field. Problems that occur usually employees coordinating with superiors, deliberating, and trying to accept criticism that is good and constructive.

Job Satisfaction

In the job satisfaction indicator, the author can draw a conclusion that in employees at the Batu IX urban village office, East Tanjungpinang sub-district, Tanjungpinang City, there is still discomfort in completing work due to facilities and infrastructure that are still lacking, including air conditioning because when the weather is hot it will make employees hot and uncomfortable to work and there are several damaged facilities such as chairs and work desks, then there are some employees who do work that is opened by orders from my superiors, employees also feel that they have made mistakes in completing their work, besides that, in the salary, some employees feel that they have not met the criteria because there is a lot of work in the village, especially in the service department and the allowance is also given small, if I say it is not appropriate [15]. Because we are directly in contact with the community, besides that, all tasks given must go through the kelurahan first at the lowest level for all community data, from people born, and died, our social assistance data, and others. The office only receives reports from the urban village. However, the office always provides opportunities for employees to develop their abilities through training or BIMTEK.

DISCUSSION

And there are some criticisms from the community in the services at the Lurah office. And sometimes the conditions in the field are not favorable such as rain or unexpected situations. However, employees of the Lurah Office can still overcome the problems faced by deliberating and finding solutions as for if there are severe problems resolved with a gradual time and can be overcome this is also with the research title "Employee Work Effectiveness at the Surakarta City Road Transport Traffic Service [16]. The factors that affect work effectiveness are employee job satisfaction, sudden tasks, communication and coordination between technical implementation units, cooperation in team work and between implementing units or between sections, employee creativity in completing work, adequate facilities and infrastructure in accordance with needs, and community support in the form of using roads in accordance with administrative rules and order.

Work effectiveness in a government agency is very necessary, especially this government agency in charge of serving the community, one example is the object that the author examines, namely the Batu IX Village office, East Tanjungpinang District, Tanjungpinang City. In the Batu IX Kelurahan office, Batu IX Village, there is still ineffectiveness, but this ineffectiveness can still be overcome by employees of the Batu IX Kelurahan office, East Tanjungpinang District, Tanjungpinang City itself, this is also supported by the theory of effectiveness according to Mardiasmo [17], basically related to the achievement of policy objectives or targets (results in use).

Then work performance there are several problems where the majority of Batu IX Village employees are quite difficult in carrying out tasks ordered by superiors but are able to cooperate and take great responsibility for their work.
