Factors For Forming an Integrated Cash Management System (CMS) and Its Influence on Employee Performance at Mataram University

ABSTRACT:The establishment of an integrated cash management system (CMS) is influenced by a number of factors, including technological advances, organizational policies, corporate culture, and human resource readiness. This study adopted an exploratory quantitative research design. The population in this study were all civil servants at Mataram University. Purposive sampling was used in this study, with 36 finance staff members who interacted directly with CMS as the sample. Data analysis in this study was simple linear regression and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using SPSS software. The research findings show that factors such as accountability, internal control systems, procedural policies, and infrastructure and devices on the CMS have been successfully simplified. So the eight new factors in the formation of CMS are Consistency and Accuracy in Managing Cash, Process Control and Service Quality, Internal Control System, Rules and Guidelines with Financial Aspects, Financial Management and Cash Management, Policies and Procedures, Using Special Applications to Manage Cash, Processing Equipment Specifications. Only the specific application factor for cash management has a negative and significant effect on employee performance, other factors such as process control and service quality, rules and guidelines with financial aspects and equipment specifications have a positive but insignificant effect, consistency and stability in managing cash, internal control systems for cash financial management and cash management, and policies and procedures have a negative but insignificant effect on employee performance. Therefore, there needs to be an adjustment in the prioritization and allocation of resources to support employee performance according to their main focus.
