The company is an organization consisting of a group of people, working in carrying out various activities to achieve company goals. Human resources are very important for a company to achieve its goals. The success of an organization or company depends on the existence of its human resources. Quality human resources will produce good performance for individuals and make a positive contribution to the progress of the company. Human resources are employees and leaders who are in the company's organization, because the company's success in achieving its goals depends on its employees and leaders. Processing of human resources must be a thought and determinant of the success of organizational goals. Employees and organizations need each other, performance produced by an organization as a result of the performance of employees in the organization. To realize the desired goal, then one of the ways that must be taken is to improve employee performance that is by paying attention to competence, self-efficacy and organizational commitment.
Currently, classic problems often occur in an organization in various sectors in facing increasingly complex and competitive challenges to carry out its operations. In a dynamic business environment, employee performance is one of the key factors that influence the success of a company. One of the factors believed to influence employee performance is their competence and self-efficacy. Competence refers to knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are relevant to the tasks that must be carried out, while self- efficacy is an individual's belief in his ability to succeed in achieving the desired goals. Previous research has linked competency and self-efficacy with employee performance. For example, the study conducted by Johnson et al [1] found that employees who have a high level of competence tend to have better performance compared to those who have a low level of competence. Likewise, research conducted by Smith et al [2] showed that high self- efficacy is positively correlated with employee performance.
Although the relationship between competence, self-efficacy, and employee performance has been widely studied, there are still unresolved issues. One of the issues that is still being questioned is the role of organizational commitment as an intervening variable between competency and self-efficacy and employee performance. Organizational commitment refers to the level of loyalty, identification, and involvement of employees towards the organization where they work. In this context, organizational commitment is considered to be a mediating factor that strengthens the relationship between competency, self-efficacy, and employee performance.
Competence refers to knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are relevant to the tasks that must be carried out by an employee. High competence indicates that a person has the qualifications and skills needed to carry out the task properly. Previous research has shown a positive relationship between competency and employee performance. When employees have high competence, they tend to feel more engaged and involved in the organization they work for. High organizational commitment can increase employee motivation and dedication to achieve better performance. In addition, organizational commitment can also affect employees' perceptions of their duties and responsibilities, as well as affect the quality of the relationship between employees and superiors or co-workers.
Relevant studies exploring the relationship between self-efficacy, employee performance, and organizational commitment as intervening variables between self- efficacy and employee performance are research conducted by Lee et al [3]. This study focuses on the role of organizational commitment in explaining the relationship between self-efficacy and employee performance. In that study, self- efficacy was measured as an individual's belief in his abilities to carry out the tasks required in their job. High self-efficacy indicates that individuals feel confident and confident in overcoming work challenges and achieving good results.
Based on research conducted by Lee et al [3], self-efficacy has a direct influence on employee performance. Employees with high self-efficacy tend to perform better than those with low self-efficacy. High self-efficacy provides motivation and confidence in individuals to face tasks confidently, overcome obstacles, and try to achieve good results.
Employee performance is measured as the result of work tasks performed by individuals, such as productivity, quality of work, initiative or target achievement. High performance shows that individuals are able to achieve the expected results and make a significant contribution to the organization. In this context, when employees feel emotionally and psychologically attached to the organization, they tend to have higher motivation to do well. Strong organizational commitment can also influence employees' perceptions of their duties and responsibilities, as well as influence their relationships with superiors, co-workers, and the organization as a whole.
Organizational commitment is an important factor in the sustainabilitgyuoafrtdhe organization. Organizational commitment is loyalty or individual loyalty to the organization where they work. The higher the level of commitment, the more likely the individual will stay in the organization and perform well. Therefore, increasing organizational commitment is the main focus of management in achieving organizational goals.
In addition, organizational commitment also has an important role in explaining the relationship between self-efficacy and employee performance. Organizational commitment mediates this relationship by influencing employees' attitudes and behavior toward their jobs. Individuals with high organizational commitment tend to have strong motivation to perform well and strive to achieve organizational goals. High organizational commitment can also strengthen the positive effect of self-efficacy on employee performance by providing support and a sense of attachment to the organization.
Several previous studies have also provided preliminary evidence about the role of organizational commitment as an intervening variable. For example, research conducted by Brown et al [5] show that organizational commitment mediates the relationship between competence and employee performance. Another study conducted by Lee et al [4] show that organizational commitment also mediates the relationship between self-efficacy and employee performance.
Based on this background, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of competence and self-efficacy on employee performance, taking into account the role of organizational commitment as an intervening variable. In particular, this study will examine whether competence and self-efficacy directly affects employee performance, as well as whether organizational commitment mediates the relationship.
This research is expected to contribute to the understanding of the factors that influence employee performance. The results of this study can also provide practical guidance for companies in developing human resources, especially in improving employee competence and self-efficacy, as well as strengthening organizational commitment. In this regard, this research will also serve as a basis for developing more effective management strategies in improving organizational performance.
Competence
Competence, which refers to a collection of knowledge, skills and attitudes owned by an employee that allows him to carry out job duties properly. Competence can cover various aspects, such as technical knowledge, interpersonal skills, understanding of the work context, and the ability to solve problems. According to Kustiany states that competence needs attention from the leadership, especially those dealing with human resources and the work environment in the form of security, welfare, comfort and welfare of Human Resources employees who need to get the attention of the leadership so that the tasks assigned can run well. Meanwhile, according to Hendriani et al. [6], argues that competence is the ability to carry out activities in a job or function in accordance with expected work standards. From the above understanding, it can be concluded that competence is a characteristic that underlies a person who influences himself in thinking and acting while working to carry out activities in work or functions in accordance with expected work standards.
Meanwhile, according to Moeheriono [7] competency can also be defined as the underlying characteristics of a person related to the effectiveness of individual performance in his work or the basic characteristics of individuals who have a causal relationship or as a cause and effect with the criteria used as a reference, effective or excellent or superior performance at work or in certain situations. However, according to [8] the importance of competence is a combination of job maturity (ability) psychological maturation (willingness) and work experience that can direct one's own behavior. In the above understanding, it can be concluded that competence shows a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes and characteristics possessed by individuals who carry out their duties and responsibilities effectively.
Factors that influence it are:
Education and Training: Formal education and professional training can assist in acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills to develop competency in a particular field
Work Experience: Relevant and diverse work experience can provide opportunities to develop practical competencies and broaden understanding in real work contexts
Organizational Support: Support from organizations, such as employee development programs, mentoring, or access to relevant resources, can play a role in enhancing individual competencies
Independent Learning: Willingness and motivation to learn independently, such as reading books, taking online courses, or seeking relevant learning opportunities, can assist in developing competencies.
Performance Feedback and Evaluation: Constructive feedback and regular performance evaluations can help individuals identify their strengths and weaknesses in terms of competence, so that they can direct their efforts towards further development
Supportive Work Environment: A supportive work environment, where collaboration, open communication, and a learning culture are practiced, can provide better opportunities for individuals to develop competencies
Personal Motivation and Initiative: Intrinsic motivation and personal initiative to continuously learn and develop oneself can be a key factor in competence development
Self-Efficacy
Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their ability to succeed in achieving goals and overcoming the challenges they face. Self-efficacy has a strong influence on a person's motivation, performance, and success in various areas of life. Self-efficacy according to Bandura in Kartika and Prihatsanti, is a vital self-dimension. This self-efficacy refers to self-confidence in one's own capabilities in doing something, especially in a task or job. Judge et al in Kartika and Prihatsanti also consider that self-efficacy this is a positive aspect of self-evaluation when doing self- understanding. In addition, according to Corsun and Enz in Subagyo [9] explaining self-efficacy is personal belief to explore potential abilities so that they can develop, so that it has a positive impact on job performance. Then Kreitner and Kinicki in Subagyo [9] define self-efficacy asconfidentindividual regarding the chance to complete something taskforces.
Based on this statement it can be implied that self-efficacy is the individual's confidence in the opportunity (opportunity) and the potential to complete a task or problem. Good self-efficacy in a person's persona will create motivation within him to complete a task painstakingly and achieve predetermined goals according to his abilities and capacities. A person's self-efficacy can be developed through a process that involves several influencing factors.
The following are several factors that can influence the development of a person's self- efficacy:
Experience of success: Experience of success in dealing with a particular task or challenge can build self-confidence and increase self-efficacy. When a person achieves a set goal or overcomes a difficult obstacle, they will tend to feel more confident in their ability to deal with similar situations in the future
Role models and observations: Observing other people who are successful in the same field or have the desired skills can influence the development of self- efficacy. Seeing how others overcome challenges, manage failure, and achieve success can provide inspiration and guidance for individuals to develop their own self-confidence
Positive feedback: Positive feedback from others about individual abilities and achievements can increase self-efficacy. When people receive feedback that reinforces their abilities and accomplishments, they tend to feel more confident and confident in their abilities to achieve their desired goals
Learning and knowledge: Development of knowledge and skills in the desired field can increase self-efficacy. With increased relevant knowledge and skills, individuals will feel more prepared and confident in facing the related tasks and challenges
Social support: Social support from people around, such as friends, family, or mentors, can affect the development of self-efficacy. Emotional support, encouragement, and positive feedback from others can help individuals feel supported and confident in facing difficult tasks or challenges
Realistic goal setting: Setting realistic and achievable goals can help individuals develop self-efficacy. By planning clear steps and achieving realistic goals incrementally, individuals can build self confidence and increase their self- efficacy over time
Reflection and self-monitoring: Regularly reflecting on one's achievements, strengths, and progress can help in developing self- efficacy. By monitoring and recognizing their own progress, individuals can build self-confidence and motivate themselves to continuously improve self-efficacy

Research Limitations
Some of the limitations and weaknesses in this study include:
This study only uses the variables competence, self-efficacy, Employee Performance, and organizational commitment, there are many other potential variables but have not been included in this research model, so they can be added to future research.
This research was only conducted at a limited research location, namely the manager of health information management at the Semarang City Health Office, so the results of this study cannot be generalized to other research locations. It is necessary to conduct research with a wider object or different objects, for example in private companies which have different staffing characteristics from government agencies
In addition to the limited research scope, the research variables are also limited to individual aspects of organizational behavior
There were inaccuracies in filling out the questionnaire. This can be due to the different understanding of respondents and the many questions concerning individual opinions that cannot be separated from the element of subjectivity
Suggestion
Based on the conclusions above, there are several things that can be used as suggestions to improve employee performance for ASN Semarang City, including:
The Health Service needs to continue to maintain and improve Competency values such as knowledge of organizational goals, similarities in organizational values, equality of organizational norms with employees, so that the Employees can work optimally so as to improve their performance
Employee personality values, especially in the application of clear procedures, a sense of responsibility for their work, giving encouragement to work better, as well as a permanent work situation, need to be maintained to encourage increased employee performance at the Health Service. The way leaders/superiors pay attention to employees needs to be addressed by taking a more prudent approach
The Semarang City Health Office must increase the application of values which include organizational commitment variables because employees do not fully understand the importance of applying organizational commitment values to improving employee performance
Future research recommendations
Recommendations that the author can convey for the implementation of future research are:
Based on the research findings, the policy suggestion is that it is necessary to create a more conducive work environment by placing employees who are relatively young in age and supported by providing job training and developing competence and self-efficacy in order to build better organizational commitment so that they can achieve the targets that have been set
In future research it is necessary to deepen the research method by completing a questionnaire with open questions, so as to enrich and sharpen the analysis of this research data
