Implementation of the Use of the E-Performance Application in Employee Assessment and Reporting at the High Religious Court of Bali

Abstract

The implementation of the E-Kinerja application is a bureaucratic reform strategy to transform subjective manual assessment into a measurable digital system. This study aims to address the research problems: (1) How is the implementation of the E-Kinerja application at the High Religious Court of Bali? and (2) What are the obstacles encountered in its application? This is an empirical legal study with a socio-legal approach. The conclusion indicates that administratively, the implementation represents an effective reform with a 92.2% compliance rate for supporting evidence and 98% transparency. However, determinant constraints were found in the form of a digital competency gap (41.2% of employees have operational dependence) and a "procrastination culture" barrier (64.7% of employees delay reporting). Based on these findings, the author suggests that leadership formalize the "Hybrid Evaluation" mechanism (manual meetings) to complement the application, implement a cross-mentoring strategy among employees, and enforce a weekly reporting deadline policy to overcome the procrastination culture.
