Management Information System (X. and This open-access article is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY-NC) 4. 0 license Passport Processing Rates (X. The dependent variable is Community Satisfaction (Y), and the intervening variable is Community Education (Z). Community Satisfaction. Fahlefi . Says that "public satisfactio. is the position of consumer desires after comparing the suitability or difference between client prospects and incoming perceptions/services. " Meanwhile. Tarigan . states that "community satisfaction is the difference between expectations and service delivery from perceived performance. In line with that statement. " Roberto et al.

Service Quality. Atmaja. "service quality is a company's effort to meet consumer " Meanwhile. Widiyanto. "service quality is the extent of a company's ability to provide service benefits following consumer expectations. " Mukhlis et al. Service quality is the organization's ability to meet the expectations of service users. Service quality is how an agency can meet community expectations or satisfaction. The service quality indicators in this research refer to Lupiyoadi's opinion of Atmaja. , namely: physical evidence, empathy, reliability, quick and guarantee. Management Information System (MIS). MIS is a collection of interconnected components that receive input and produce output through orderly transformations to achieve a goal. (Rudini. According to McLeod in Rudini . MIS is Aua computer-based system that provides information to multiple users with similar needs. Ay According to Kaleb . MIS is a collection of interrelated elements that form a unit for integrating, processing and storing data. So that it can be used for decision-making, it can be concluded that SIM is a computer system that provides information to many users in the form of periodic reports and ad hoc reports of input and output data and can be used for institutional management analysis and problem-solving processes as well as policy formulation (Utami et al. , 2. The SIM indicators in this research refer to the opinion of Sitorus . , namely: . availability of information. easy to understand. according to needs. provide correct information. provide correct information, accuracy and consistency Rates. According to Fitri . Tariffs represent value, effort and responsibility as a form of activity and transaction. According to Widiyanto. "Price (Tarif. is the value of a product or service that must be paid to get it. " Meanwhile. Chaniago . explains that price is the value exchanged for a product or service. The tariff in this study is the total value that must be paid to obtain services in obtaining a passport. The tariff indicators in this research refer to Kotler's opinion in Tanaka & Darmawan . , namely tariff affordability, tariff suitability with service quality, tariff competitiveness, tariff suitability with benefits and tariff flexibility. Education. Education is an action or experience that impacts a person's character, thoughts or physical abilities. Septianto . Meanwhile, according to Taher. Ticoalu, and Oniba in Septianto . Education is an experience that provides learning material that influences habits, attitudes, and knowledge related to the material presented, according to Arifin and Indrawati . In a This open-access article is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY-NC) 4. 0 license broad sense, education is an action or experience that impacts a person's character, thoughts or physical abilities. It is concluded that education in this research is a process of introducing a system to a person or providing lessons to improve the community's abilities, attitudes and behavior through teaching and training efforts (Junus et al. , 2. According to Sumantri . , indicators that can measure education are teaching, education, guidance, training and quality. Referring to this opinion, the education indicator as an intervening variable in this research is concluded to be teaching/education/guidance/training . regarding namely: . requirements for obtaining services or products. Systems, mechanisms and procedures for obtaining services or products. time and reasonableness of costs/tariffs in obtaining services or products. Specifications of service type. Service facilities and Conceptual Framework. Figure 1. Conceptual Framework METHODS Research Design. Location and Time. This quantitative research uses a questionnaire that will be distributed to the community in the Tj Immigration area. Karimun Hall. With implementation time starting from February 2024 to July 2024 Research Variables and Operational Definitions. This research's variables consist of the independent variables, namely. Service Quality (X. Management Information System (X. and Passport Processing Rates (X. , the Community Education Intervening variable (Z) and the dependent variable. Community Satisfaction (Y). Population and Sample. The population in this research is all people aged over 19 years in the Tj Immigration area. Balai Karimun carried out passport processing directly in 2023 or 2024 and has a KTP address in Tanjung Balai Karimun. Moreover, can be contacted via WhatsApp and is willing to fill out a research questionnaire, namely a population of 286. To get a sample that describes the population, use the sampling method using the Slovin formula, which is as follows: n= N/1 (Nxe. Where: n: Sample size N: Population e2: The percentage of sampling error . rror rat. still desired. With a confidence level of 95% and an error rate of 5%, with calculations like the following: This open-access article is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY-NC) 4. 0 license n = 286 / . = 166. From the calculations using the Slovin formula above, 166. 76 was obtained . ounded to 167 Then, a survey was conducted among the 167 respondents using a questionnaire containing 75 statements. Types. Sources and Collection of Data. Primary data was obtained directly from respondents through observation, interviews and questionnaires, including respondents' responses to service quality, management information systems, passport processing costs, community education and community satisfaction. Meanwhile, secondary data was obtained through literature research and data related to these five variables. Data Analysis Techniques. The data analysis technique used to test the hypothesis uses PLS (Partial et al. ) analysis. It was chosen because it is more straightforward if the results remain (Duryadi, 2. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Respondent Demographics. Description of the 167 respondents sampled in this research study, which are differentiated by age group, gender, education and position. Based on age group, there are 33. 5% aged between 18 and 30 years, 32. 9% aged between 31 and 40 years, 22. 2% aged between 41 and 50 years and 11. 4% aged over 51 years. Based on occupation, 49. 7% of respondents had a work background as ASN/P3K, 23. 4% were homemakers, 22. 8% were private sector, and 4. were TNI/Polri. Based on gender, there were 51. 5% female respondents and 48. 2% male Validity and Reliability Test Results. Source: Primary Data processed, 2024 (Smart PLS Outpu. Figure 2. Outer Model Test Results The picture above shows that all variables have a value of more than 0. It means it has met the criteria. (Duryadi, 2.

It was shown that the loading value for the intended construct was more significant than the other values , and the standard value for each construct was more than 0. This means that the manifest variables in this research are valid and can explain the latent variables (Duryadi, 2. The Composite Reliability test output results can be seen in the following table: Table 2. Construct Reliability and Validity Cronbach's Alpha Composite Reliability Average Variance Extracted (AVE) Source: Primary Data processed, 2024 (Smart PLS Outpu. It was shown that Cronbach's Alpha and composite reliability values were above 0. 7, and AVE was more than 0. So, it is concluded that all the variables tested are valid and reliable, so structural model testing can be carried out. (Duryadi, 2.

It is shown that the R Square value of education is 0. 925, meaning that the endogenous variable education is 92. 5% influenced by service quality variables, management information systems and passport processing fees, while other factors influence 7. The R-Square value of community satisfaction is 0. 800, meaning that the endogenous variable of community satisfaction is 80% influenced by the exogenous variables of service quality, management information system and passport processing fees, while other factors influence 20%.

This data shows that the NFI value is 0. 631 or 63. 5%, close to 0. 67 or 67%, so it can be concluded that the model's goodness is decisive. So, after going through the conditions above, it can be concluded that the model can be continued with the next test, namely hypothesis testing (Paramitha et al. , 2. According to Duryadi .
