ABSTRACT

The motivation of lecturers is a crucial factor in conducting research. Quality research requires support from information systems, supervision, and motivation. Lecturers at universities often have less motivation to conduct research compared to their teaching duties, which yield quicker results. This study aims to analyze the influence of information systems and supervision on the motivation of lecturers to conduct research in the Midwifery Department of Semarang Poltekkes. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional approach. A total sampling technique was used, involving 79 respondents who completed questionnaires distributed via Google Forms. The analysis was conducted using SmartPLS v.3 with SEM (Structural Equation Modeling). The outer model testing demonstrated convergent validity with loading factor values greater than 0.7, AVE values greater than 0.5, and HTMT between constructs less than 0.9. Cronbach's alpha values were greater than 0.7, and the composite reliability value for all constructs was greater than 0.7, indicating a reliable PLS-SEM model. Inner testing of the SEM PLS fit model showed strong predictive relevance and the SRMR value of the model met the fit criteria. The results showed that supervision had a positive and significant effect on motivation, with a p-value of 0.000 less than 0.05, a statistical T-value of 4.032 greater than 1.96, and a positive path coefficient of 0.287; the information system had a positive and significant effect on motivation, with a p-value of 0.000 less than 0.05, a statistical T-value of 7.402 greater than 1.96, and a positive path coefficient of 0.536. These findings indicate that information systems and supervision significantly affect the motivation of lecturers to conduct research in higher education.
