Abstrak - Pendidikan digunakan sebagai tolok ukur untuk menilai kualitas sumber daya manusia sekaligus penentu kualitas bangsa. Kualitas generasi  unggul dan mampu bersaing akan lahir dari proses Pendidikan. Budaya organisasi dan teknologi informasi yang dibarengi dengan komitmen organisasi dosen merupakan model pemetaan perguruan tinggi untuk menghasilkan kinerja optimal. Menyadari akan pentingnya model tersebut, maka permasalahan belum tercapainya kinerja dosen, merupakan permasalahan yang harus diselesaikan melalui model pemetaan peningkatan kinerja. Metode yang digunakan adaIah metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. PopuIasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh Dosen International women University, melalui teknik sampIing proporsional random sampling dan rumus slovin, maka diperoleh sampel sebesar 88 dosen. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner dan wawancara, selanjutnya analisis menggunakan structural equation modeling (SEM).  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kinerja Dosen International Women University dipengaruhi secara simultan maupun parsial oleh Budaya Organisasi, TeknoIogi Informasi, dan Komitmen organisasional. Dari ketiga variable, komitmen organisasional memberikan kontribusi tertinggi, sedangkan kontribusi terendah ditentukan oleh teknologi informasi. Abstract - Education is used as a measurement to assess the quality of human resources as well as a determinant the quality of the nation. The quality of a excellent generation and able to compete will be exist from the education process. Organizational culture and information technology followed by lecturers' organizational commitment is a model for higher education mapping to produce optimal performance. Realizing the importance of this model, the problem of not achieving lecturer performance is a problem that must be solved through a performance improvement mapping model. The method used is a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The population of this research is all Lecturers of International Women's University, using the technique of proportional random sampling and Slovin formula, a sample of 88 lecturers was obtained. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews, then analysis using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that the performance of International Women University Lecturers is influenced simultaneously or partially by Organizational Culture, Information Technology, and Organizational Commitment. From the three variables, organizational commitment shows the highest contribution, while the lowest contribution is determined by information technology.

A questionnaire is one method that is very widely used for social research and is an essential stage in an information system survey in this case the instrument adopted from previous research. Research in the field of information systems today is highly developed by the context ranging from industry, education, and other areas that are not limited. The objectives of this study were to assess the nature of the psychometric properties of users, in this case, is the level of readiness of users in adopting information technology in SMEs. Respondents were chosen randomly and were active computer users in SMEs, and the questions and statements given could be responded to and understood well so that the perceptions between researchers and respondents were the same. The population used is by taking several SMEs industries in Jakarta. The survey was conducted by interviewing and distributing questionnaires to employees at SMEs. Data processing is done using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results obtained are 13 of the 70 questions were recommended to be rejected. Besides, the findings can be used by other parties in terms of testing a questionnaire as a reference for consideration, and the confirmation results can be used as a reference in revising the questionnaire questions

This study probed the influence of information technology adoption by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Gauteng and Free State Provinces of South Africa. The supply chain integration and collaboration of the SMEs was also explored to ascertain the IT influence. A quantitative methodology was used as it was the best way to measure the extent of the information technology (IT) influence. The participants were sent questionnaires via the e-mail and provided feedback to the researcher via the same medium. The sample size of 300 comprised the owner/manager in the manufacturing and service sector SMEs from the two provinces. The data collected was analysed using a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) method and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using AMOS 22 Statistical Analysis software. The findings from the study indicated that information technology adoption enhanced integration and collaboration of SMEs supply chain. It also emerged that there was wide application of information technology amongst most of the SMEs approached. The other benefits that emerged from the increased use of IT in the supply chain included enhancement of customer service, inventory management, lead time, and relationship building. Indeed, Instilling IT skills to the SMEs employees was actually knowledge enhancement in performing business tasks.
