Every State Civil Apparatus must be ready to serve the country and provide the best service to the community. Moreover, in this millennial era, ASN must be able to adapt to rapidly changing times. Current changes have an impact on work, workers and the workplace. Head of BKN Aria Wibisana, in a Discussion and Socialization event on Civil Servant Management Strengthening the Foundations of HR Management Towards a Merit System on April 9 2018, emphasized that every ASN needs to have work skills such as: the ability to solve complex problems, critical thinking, creativity, people management, the ability to coordinate , emotional intelligence, judgment and decision making, service orientation, negotiation, and cognitive flexibility. Key Indicator Achievements are a measure of the success of an organization's strategic goals and objectives. Every government institution or agency is required to formulate Key Performance Indicators as a priority program and activity that refers to the strategic targets in the RPJMD and RENSTRA of Regional Work Units. Achievements of the main indicators are calculated based on the number of achievements divided by the target and multiplied by 100%, as is the case at the Alak sub-district office, Kupang City. Information technology is used at the Alak Subdistrict Office, the electronic application must be used properly and correctly. HR's success in using information technology will be an indicator of the success of an organization's strategic goals and objectives. This research aims to obtain empirical evidence of the influence of the use of information technology and work skills on the performance of civil servants in managing financial administration with work motivation as a moderating variable. The research uses a quantitative approach. The research population of employees at the Alak Subdistrict Office was 35 people. The sampling technique is the census sample method. Questionnaires were used as a data collection technique. The hypothesis was tested using statistical testing tools, namely the variance-based structural equation test or better known as Partial Least Square (PLS) using Smart PLS 3.2.8 software.


INTRODUCTION
Human Resources (HR) play a very important role in organizational activities.Any organization, whether government or private, really needs people to achieve its stated goals.Humans as objects and as subjects in organizational activities carry out planning, formulation, determination and implementation of various organizational activities in order to achieve their goals.Human resources (HR) in an organization are not only determined by the number or availability, but also their quality is needed to produce work performance to support the achievement of organizational goals.In general, the strategic targets to be achieved by the Alak Subdistrict Office include: 1) Increased work performance of Alak District officials, namely a decrease in disciplinary employees and management of employees who receive awards 2) Increasing the quality of public services, including community administration services such as: Business Location Permit (SITU), Trading Business Permit (SIUP), Micro Business Permit, Heir Information, Statement of Transfer of Rights, Transfer Letter, Research Permit, Research Completion Letter, Certificate of Incompetence, and recording of Electronic Identity Card.3) Waste Bank Management, including: Amount of Waste entering the Waste Bank, Waste Recycling.4) Increasing community awareness and participation towards the environment, including: having dispensary plants in demonstration gardens, forming waste working groups (pokja) in sub-districts, implementing the Kupang Green and Clean program.5) Improve IT-based information systems, namely creating a District website 6) Increasing security and order in the Alak District environment, including: empowering and activating members of community protection (Linmas) and resolving cases that occur within the Alak District.
The work performance of an organization is closely related to the work performance of its employees.In the context of measuring and improving the performance of government agencies, the strategic targets of an agency are measured through the achievements of Key Performance Indicators (IKU).Based on the data obtained, the achievements of the Main Performance Indicators of the Alak Subdistrict Office over the last 2 years can be read in Table 1.1 below.Key Indicator Achievements are a measure of the success of an organization's strategic goals and objectives.Every government institution or agency is required to formulate Key Performance Indicators as a priority program and activity that refers to the strategic targets in the RPJMD and RENSTRA of Regional Work Units.Main indicator

METHOD
To describe the phenomena that occur at the research location, the data analysis technique used is descriptive statistical analysis.Descriptive analysis was carried out by calculating respondents' perceptions (Levis, 2013: 108) with the following formula:

Ps X Ps
Information : To answer the description of each research variable, a scale range is used as in Table 3.2 below.In this research, statistical testing tools are used, namely the variance-based structural equation test or better known as Partial Least Square (PLS) using SmartPLS 3.2.8software.PLS analysis is a multivariate statistical technique that compares multiple dependent variables and multiple independent variables (Jogiyanto and Abdilah, 2016: 11).In accordance with the hypothesis that has been formulated, in this research inferential statistical data analysis is measured using SmartPLS (Partial Least Square) software starting from measuring the model (outer model), model structure (inner model) and hypothesis testing.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Based on the results of descriptive statistical analysis tests and Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) analysis, the results of this research can be described as follows:

Discussion of Descriptive Statistical Analysis Alak Subdistrict Office ASN Work Performance
In this research, the work performance variable is the work results (output), both quality and quantity, achieved by employees over a period of time in carrying out their work duties in accordance with the responsibilities assigned to them.Work performance is described in 4 (four) indicators with 8 statements.The results of the descriptive analysis of the work performance variable show that the indicator achievement of the work DIE: Jurnal Ilmu Ekonomi dan Manajemen ISSN.0216-6488 (Print), 2775-7935 (Online) performance variable has an average indicator achievement of 72%.The lowest value is the yield quality indicator, namely 67.71% and the highest value is the yield quantity indicator, namely 77.14%.With this achievement score, it can be concluded that the work performance variable is within good decision standards.With these results, the first hypothesis which states "the work performance of the State Civil Apparatus at the Alak District Office is quite good", is rejected.
The difference between these results and the initial data in chapter I is because at the time of this research, the leadership had implemented a weekly evaluation system, where each employee provided a report on the implementation of their duties.So if there is a work delay or delay in completing work, the management will immediately be given a warning and required to complete the pending work.
Achievements are quite good on work quality indicators, because there are still problems with these indicators.Based on the results of interviews with 3 (three) employees, the picture was obtained that although employees know their respective duties, there are still work errors, for example in terms of collecting data on residents, typing errors in official documents/letters and errors in making monthly reports.
