1 INTRODUCTION
Librarian is the human resources working in the
library, take care of all the sustainability, the needs,
and activities of the Library (Romadhona 2022).
Human resources are an important component in an
organization or institution, such as the institution of
the library as a source of information for users who
will be able to meet the needs of users in obtaining
information (Sunyowati et al. 2022). Human
resources, where employees and employers serve as
a strategic asset to any organization that can
determine its survival (Subagyono et al. 2022).
Performance assessment is aimed at a sustainable
and flexible process involving managers and they
manage to act as a partner, in a framework that
establishes how they can work together to achieve
the desired results (Agyen-Gyasi & Boateng, 2015).
Therefore, librarians are required to work
maximal achievement this was done as a destination
library, one of which is the level of satisfaction and
fulfilment of needs customer information to be
provided by librarians (Romadhona, Kurniawan, et
al. 2022). The findings also revealed that the
librarian, by the nature of their profession, are
equipped to engage in interdisciplinary research and
strongly opposed to the idea that they do not have
the skills and knowledge to such involvement
(Igbinovia, 2017). Librarians as employee
performance management / employee of the library
who are in these institutions, it is also an effect on
the evaluation or assessment of the work done by the
existing human resources so that human resource
management is very important (Romadhona,
Subagyono, et al. 2022).
Librarian in Library of the Provincial Health
Office of East Java is arguably very minimal which
consists of one head of the Library, one librarian and
one technician with a different background as head
of the Library who has a background of graduates
D4 midwife, librarian with a background of high
school education, and technicians with the
background of high school graduates. This is very
worrying because this library has a library of human
resources is minimal and does not have a
background in the library at all, the human resources
of the library here only have a library science
through training.
The purpose of this study is to determine the
problems that exist in the Library East Java

problems. So that future performance of human
resources owned by the Library of East Java
Provincial Health Office can work and serve users

2 LITERATURE REVIEW
Measurement of employee performance by (Darma,
2003), Consider the following matters:
1. Quantity
Measurement of an employee's performance
can be seen from the quantity of work
completed in a certain time. With the
quantity of an employee have the ability or
confidence to do the organizational work.
2. Quality
Rate an employee is to look at the quality of
the work done as expected. Completion is
not only visible from the settlement but seen
from the skills and results.
3. Punctuality
Namely the suitability of the planned time.
Library East Java Provincial Health Office is a
library that stands as one of the facilities are open to
the public (Romadhona, Subagyono, et al. 2022).
The performance assessment of the human resources
is also very noteworthy (Romadhona 2020). Library
East Java Provincial Health Office has an
assessment of the performance of its human
resources to improve the quality of service provided
to users of the library (Hernoko et al. 2022). Users
can meet the need for the information it needs to
take advantage of library materials in the library
according to the needs of everyone. Assessment of
the performance has its own purpose and function as
a tool for improvement of quality of service so that
visitors more comfortable when accessing the
library.
3 RESEARCH METHOD
The method used in this research convinced by the
case study method of qualitative research approach
by observation and interview with employees in the
Library East Java Provincial Health Office.
Selection of a qualitative research approach aims to
get the data depth and detail. In conducting
observations and interviews authors collected
information about the services already provided by
the existing human resources and with a background
in human resources who do not have knowledge
about the library before attending various trainings.
The author uses a qualitative method of direct
observation in the field that is in the Office of East
Java Provincial Health Office.
4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
4.1 Quantity
4.1.1 Division of Task
Trans Theoretical Model (TTM) is a useful model
for accessing the readiness to act in a healthier
behaviour or stop unhealthy behaviours that include
process steps and principles of behavioural changes
in humans. Stages of behaviour change include
precontemplation (not intended), contemplation (no
intention), determination (a plan), action (real
action), relapse (relapse) and maintenance
(maintenance) (B. Hardjojo, 2012).
The division of tasks in the Library East Java
Provincial Health Office in accordance with job
desk, respectively. Where every individual is astute
enough to work on the assignment that has been
given and quite timely.
There are some differences in the weights for
each worker because everyone has different abilities
and strengths. Such a difference in the task of
weeding books, activity books envelop birthday,
data input through a database of books that have
been targeted.
4.1.2 Obstacles
Less successful communication within the
organization caused partly because of the
characteristics of the dynamic nature of the
organization, where the organization is an open
system that is constantly changing because it always
faces new challenges from the surrounding
environment and the need to adjust to the ever-
changing environment.
A communication process is successful if the
message or the meaning conveyed by the
communicator received complete and intact by the
communicant and understood and interpreted
correctly by the communicant, like understanding or
perception of the communicator. Moreover, it may
create equality between national cultural
perspective, the ethical ideology described by
ICRL 2018 - 3rd International Conference on Record and Library
48
religion and moral philosophy (Al-Nuaimi et al.,
2017).
There is definitely a problem when speaking to
the one of the workers who had long worked and felt
that it was his library so that as the Head of the
Library to communicate by means of persuasion as a
way of solving problems while coordinating. When
coordination or communication horizontally and
vertically so far do not have a problem, so there is
no subjective bias can decide the level of actual
performance of employees and management's
perception of the level of the employee's
performance (Evans & Bae, 2017).
So, from previous studies with their
characteristic properties owned by individuals within
an organization affects communication and
coordination in the organization.
4.1.3 Factors Responsible Select Task
Fishbein Theory of Reasoned Action states that
developed to better understand the relationship
between attitudes, intentions, and behaviours.
Theory of Reasoned Action asserts that the most
important determinants of behaviour are intention.
Direct determinant of individual behavioural
intention is the attitude toward the behaviour and
subjective norms related. The attitude of the
individual is determined belief in the impact or the
nature of a behaviour based on their subjective
norms (Trafimow, 2009). Social Cognitive Theory
also provides a comprehensive understanding,
prediction and change human behaviour through
dynamic relationship and mutual influence
(reciprocal determinism) between personal factors,
behaviour and environment are interrelated (R. T.
Nabavi 2012).
Factors division in charge of the task at the
Library East Java Provincial Health Office based job
desk respectively by orders from above as the head
of the library to focus the division of tasks
corresponding field. For librarians and library chief
tasks associated with the library while the technician
working on technical tasks related to the library
4.1.4 Additional Human Resources
The Library Head of East Java Provincial Health
Office has applied for additional human resources
that have the skills of a librarian. Requests for
additional human resources have already been
submitted from the beginning of the year, but the
human resources according to the needs still come.
Possible human resources are derived from
nutritional academy is scheduled to be closed so that
the librarian or the worker must return to the shade
of UPT. If the library wants to go forward, there
must be a librarian needed only one who was really
a librarian.
4.2 Quality
4.2.1 Performance Assessment System
Performance is the translation of the performance,
which means the work of a worker, a management
process or an organization as a whole, where the
results of such work must be shown proof in
concrete and measurable (compared to the standard
that has been set).
System performance appraisal contained in the
Library of the Provincial Health Office of East Java
directly delivered by the Head of the Library is using
the contract system at the beginning of the year that
should be implemented as a reference work in the
future or at the end of the year there will be a
performance assessment for one year who was
named target employee (SKP). Ratings used are the
standard performance of Civil Servants stipulated in
Government Regulation No. 46 Year 2011 which
remuneration.
Of assessment given that refers to the beginning
of the year performance agreement in accordance
with the standards of Civil Servants ratings because
employees Library East Java Provincial Health
Office is Servant that use the employee performance
appraisal system goals (SKP) conducted at the end
of the year.
4.2.2 Quality Indicators
The theory of social responsibility was born because
of the demands of responsibility itself. Social
responsibility is the moral realm, so that the position
is not the same with the law. Morale in social
responsibility more to the outward act that is based
entirely on the inner attitude, attitude and good
deeds are truly selfless. While the legal
responsibilities more emphasis on outward
demeanour conformity with the rules, although such
action is objectively not wrong, maybe both and in
accordance with the views of moral, legal and
compliance cannot serve as the basis to draw a
conclusion because they do not know the underlying
motives or intentions, Quality indicators used re-use
employee performance goals (SKP) which has been
determined by the government to evaluate the
performance of employees / staff of the library.

4.2.3 Figures
Evaluation used by the Head of Library East Java
Provincial Health Office is referring to the
agreement the work done at the beginning of the
year which will issue a one-year performance results
that employee performance goals (SKP). Can be
seen from the results of employee performance goals
(SKP) each individual human resources, if there are
results that are not in accordance with the agreement
so that future human resources in question should
pay attention and should improve on the points that
have not been fulfilled.
So, it can be seen from the way the evaluation of
the Head of Library East Java Provincial Health
Office is very simple. With the previous research
that says that improved performance, feedback on
the implementation of work allows employees,
managers and personnel departments can improve
their activities to improve performance.
4.2.4 Impact on Productivity Employee
Performance Appraisal
The employee performance appraisal results affect
the awards will be given by the company in return
for the company. The better the performance
evaluation results of an employee, the higher is also
an award given by the company. A factor motivating
factors awards held by a company for its employees.
This means that the award of the institution as a
motivator be an important factor to improve employee
motivation to work. The higher award given by an
institution should be able to encourage employee
motivation to work even harder to produce better
performance. Improved the alignment of library
assessment process can improve the efficiency of the
assessment process, the effectiveness of the results of
the assessment process (White, 2008).
The performance assessment is a very real
impact on the performance appraisal system even
Civil State Apparatus (ASN) or Civil Servants
(PNS) previously used system of employee
performance goals (SKP) will be converted into
remuneration. With the conversion of the
performance appraisal system, employees need to be
more productive because the system changed so that
wages adjust to the employee productivity.
4.2.5 Program Development and Quality
Improvement Services
Consider the purpose and use of performance
indicators in relation to the mission and goals
(Richard, 1992). User satisfaction will be created if
the expectations of the users can be manifested by
the library. Many benefits can be obtained by the
library to achieve a high level of user satisfaction,
which is able to increase user loyalty, improve the
reputation of the library, as well as improving the
operational efficiency of the institution. Users are
very satisfied will spread positive stories of mouth
or in other words, will be a walking advertisement
for the institution, and certainly will reduce costs or
maximize efforts in order to attract new users.
4.2.6 Decision Maker
The role is a set pattern of behaviour that is expected
of a person or system, because the system holds an
individual or a position within a business unit or an
organization. Thus, the existing position on the
person or system is demanded to behave in
accordance with the position or function held.
Thus, we can conclude one's role in the
environment is always linked and are associated
with status or position within that environment. And
the same thing will happen in an organization or
company. Each holder has the right roles, duties and
obligations as well as specific responsibilities that
cause costs or fees on these involvements.
Decision-making in the library of East Java
Provincial Health Office is the Head of Sub -
Division of Administration. In submitting a budget
or another, the head of libraries and staff make the
details later through the head librarian of all of those
were given to the head of the administration sub-
section of East Java Provincial Health Office. With
the entire performance of the bureaucracy there can
be handled properly.
4.3 Timeliness
4.3.1 Accuracy of Task Completion
Employee performance is the result or employee
performance assessed in terms of quality and
quantity based on labour standards specified by the
organization. The excellent performance is the
optimal performance, the performance of
appropriate standards organization and support the
achievement of organizational goals. Good
organization is the organization trying to improve its
human resources, because it is a key factor for
improving the performance of employees.
The accuracy of task completion is a time
management in working and the accuracy of the
employee in completing the work. Suitability of
working hours is the willingness of employees to
ICRL 2018 - 3rd International Conference on Record and Library
50
meet company rules relating to the timeliness of
entering / leaving work and attendance. Completion
of the task in the Library of the Provincial Health
Office of East Java quite an impact on the results of
performance assessment that has been carried along
with the replacement of the scoring system for the
Reform of Civil State (ASN) make employees
inevitably complete the work in accordance with the
purpose, so if the employee does not finish then
these activities are not written in the list of
performance appraisal of Civil State Apparatus
(ASN) or Civil Servants (PNS).
4.3.2 Library Performance Appraisal Model
Library East Java Provincial Health
Office
The performance assessment aims to assess how
well the employee has carried out and what they
need to do to be better in the future. In the
assessment of the performance in the Library East
Java Provincial Health Office to keep using
performance assessment employee performance
target system (SKP) in accordance with the
assessment for the Civil Service or the State Civil
officers. But in early 2019 over the performance
assessment will be renamed remuneration and do not
use the system employee performance target system
(SKP). While remuneration is the overall amount of
compensation received by employees for their work
and the service he has done. By using the latest
valuation models that have been approved and will
be used in the new labour contract, all activities
undertaken are recorded and reported so that
remuneration in accordance with the individual's
productivity.
4.3.3 Clarity of Authority and
Responsibility
In an institution operating system, human resource
potential is basically one of the capitals and holds a
most important role in achieving the objectives of
the company. Therefore, companies need to manage
Human Resources as possible. Because the key to
success of a company is not only the benefits of
technology and the availability of funds only. But
the human factor is the most important factor as
well, Institutions that have a good organization and
regularly most likely will not encounter obstacles in
their job effectively (preferably / maximum). And
vice versa when an institution does not have a good
organization and regular. Thus, in implementing the
tasks and work presented by the leadership to
subordinates will be an obstacle. This is caused by
the absence of a sense of responsibility in carrying
out the tasks assigned by the leadership to
subordinates. The powers and responsibilities in the
Library East Java Provincial Health Office is in
conformity with the tasks that have been given by
the leaders to subordinates.
4.4 Discussion
Human resources exist to evaluate the performance
using the performance appraisal system of existing
employees in the Library of the Provincial Health
Office of East Java using the contract system at the
beginning of the year that should be implemented as
a reference work in the future or at the end of the
year there will be a performance assessment for a
year named employee performance target system
(SKP). The performance appraisal process is an
important part in ensuring that the development of
employees with regard to organizational goals clear
(Wilson & Western, 2000), Ratings used are the
standard performance of Civil Servants i.e.
remuneration. employee performance target system
(SKP) has a pretty good impact because human
resources have a responsibility to maximize the
achievement of the ministry as a performance
assessment.
5 CONCLUSIONS
Measurement of performance in carrying out duties
in accordance with the standards specified for the
Reform of Civil State (ASN) or Civil Servants (PNS),
which is the target system employee performance
(SKP) present in the employment contract at the
beginning of the year as the reference implementation
of the task and the end of the year evaluation of
performance results. However, in early 2019
employee performance target system (SKP) was
replaced with a remuneration system that is the
overall amount of compensation received by
employees for their work and the service he has done.
For qualifying the existing workforce at the
Department of Health Library East Java still does
not meet the National Standards for Special
Libraries Library that is the number of library staff
