Enhancing Higher Education Transformation Through Effective Change Management: The Role of Employee Agility
Downloads
This study aims to explore the impact of digital competency on employee agility and employee performance in higher education institutions. The limited research investigating human resources in higher education highlights the urgency of this study. The specific role of digital competency in transforming higher education institutions, particularly in Indonesia, remains unclear. This study adopts a quantitative and causal research approach. The sample consists of faculty members from transformed higher education institutions, specifically Legal Entity State Universities (PTN-BH). Data were collected from 117 employees through structured questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. The findings indicate that digital competency has a significant positive effect on employee agility but does not directly influence employee performance. The analysis reveals that employee agility fully mediates the effect of digital competency on employee performance, suggesting that agile and adaptable employees, driven by digital competency, can perform effectively. The practical implication of this study is that higher education institutions should focus on developing employee agility to maximize the positive impact of enhancing digital competency.
