AN EVALUATION OF ELECTRICITY CONSTRUCTION SERVICE INDUSTRIAL NEEDS-BASED ELECTRICAL INSTALLER

Abstract

Competent performances by professional electrical installers are expected in the community.
However, proper evaluation tools to assess competent performance on professional electrical
installations that meet industrial needs of electrical construction service industry are scarce. This research
studies the evaluation tools on electrical installation that are based on competent design, construction,
commissioning, operation and maintenance of electrical installations. Using responses collected from 210
respondents, we found statistically significant relationships on those studied variables. The analysis
technique used to validate research data is Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The finding an evaluation
tools on electrical installation fitting with the value of chi-square < 2 df (206.06 < 356.0), P-value = 0.07350
(> 0.05), and RMSEA = 0.026 (< 0.05).These results have significant policy implications to improve the
performance evaluation process of the electrical construction service industry in Province of Sumatera Barat,
Indonesia. It also further enriches the body of knowledge on performance evaluation and its impacts on the
performance of electrical construction service industry in Indonesia as a developing nation.
