Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries that will have an impact on the spread of the coronavirus. The number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia has totaled 9,096 since it was announced for the first time on March 2, 2020. The increase in new cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia has caused the Indonesian government to set policies to prevent the spread of COVID-19 transmission. One of the policies taken is to enforce online learning from home. The Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health Jakarta III is one of the higher health education institutions that supports the government's efforts to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, so, based on government policy, the Director of the Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health Jakarta III issued a circular letter for all employees of the Health Poltekkes of the Ministry of Health Jakarta III to carry out official duties while working from home/residence (Work from Home/WFH) from March 17, 2020 and extended until May 13, 2020. Lecturers who are employees of the Poltekkes Kemenkes Jakarta III as educators automatically carry out all the duties of the Tridarma of Higher Education from home. This research was conducted at the Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health Jakarta III, which aims to obtain information about the effect of working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic and self-efficacy on the effectiveness of lecturers' work. The design used in this study is a survey method. This method can describe current conditions and can answer questions about the characteristics of the relationship variables and the influence between variables. The minimum sample size for this research survey is 100 lecturers. Data collection is done online using the Google Forms application (https://bit.ly/2KawaX2). Furthermore, the data is processed for hypothesis testing using statistical analysis techniques with path analysis. The results of the study show that: (1) there is a direct positive effect of work from home performance on work effectiveness; (2) there is a direct positive effect of self-efficacy on work effectiveness; and (3) there is a positive direct effect of work from home performance on lecturer self-efficacy. For this reason, it is recommended that work from home can be maintained as a solution to increase lecturers' self-efficacy in order to achieve quality work effectiveness.
