Perceived Information Technology in The Operational Region of PT Kereta Api Indonesia

To get the benefit of technology of information optimally and produce the result that we hope, furthermore it needs leadership that could stimulate the employers as users of technology reformation to increase the level of acceptance that integrated with educational degree of employers a moderator into the influence of transactional leadership, transformational in using perceived information technology. This research use three standardized questionnaire, Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, questionnaire of educational degree to the e r foyers and technology acceptance model. This research has been done at PT. KeretaApi Indonesia operational region II Bandung. The number of questionnaire that has been distributed was 65 (sixty five), they were spread at 5 departments at PT. K.A.I operational region II Bandung. The result from analysis of hierarchy regression found out that the educational degree moderate the influence of transactional leadership and transformational towards technology information of perception. The result of this research found that only transformational leadership that has significant influence to the use of technology of perception information.

The implementation of a new technology in an organization is a work that gives many challenges for the organization, such as the acceptance and adoption should be done by employees as the users of information technology. Behavior and acceptance of the user of information technology have a critical influence on the successful implementation of information technology (Succi and Walter, 1999). In order for optimal use of information technology, it requires management leadership and commitment of the whole company's employees (Dhewanto and Falahah, 2007).
One of the models that is often used to explain the acceptance of technology is the Technology Acceptance Model by Davis, et al. TAM is the first model which states that psychological factors, such as the factor of perceived usefulness of the new technologycentrallyinfluences employees as the users of thetechnology. Employees as the users of thetechnology are commonly found as the cause of failure, delay and even as a factor that can sabotage the implementation of new information technology (Brown, et al., 2002).
Along with the objectives of the changein information technology and the success in the implementation of information technology, the encouragement of leaders is very necessary (Bassellier, et al., 2003). Leadership model as transformational leadership plays an important role for every company to be able to do the implementation of information technology more optimally.
PT Kereta Api Indonesia (PT K.A.I) is a public company that provides the railway service in Indonesia. The implementation of information technology is an integrated solution that can provide the maximum level of service to customers. E-Ticketing is a form of Information Technology that has been implemented since 2005, which has been proven to increase the productivity.
There are so many facts that can make an indication that the implementation of information technology at PT KAI is not maximized yet, one of which is the quality of service that is still not satisfactory, which isexpressed by consumers through the International Railway Journal, 13 February 2007 edition,including the integration with other modes of transportations. All this time, it seems that PT KAI moves on its own, without dealing with the government of each region, and or the central government. Therefore, the accessibility to and from the railway station is not "connected" well with other transportation modes.
Another fact is that at the other stations which are under the Regional Operations (Daop) II Bandung such as Station Tasikmalaya, Ciamis and Banjar, in terms of information technology, has only reached the stage of implementation of e-ticketing, and there is noimplementation of integrated information technology. This is due to human inequality between the stations, and there is buildup in the operational region. 75% of the operational personnel present in the station are senior high school graduates, 15% of them are graduates under senior high school, and the rest are bachelors.
The aim of this research is to study and analyze how the transactional leadership, transformational leadership, and education level in PT KAI Operational Region II Bandung, the use ofthe perceived adoption of Information Technology at PT KAI Operational Region II Bandung and how the influence of transactional leadership, transformational leadership and education level on the usefulness of the adoption of perceived information technology on PT KAI Operational Region II Bandung.
The benefit for PT KAI Operational Region II Bandung is that the results of this study are expected to provide feedback for the implementation of Information Technology at PT KAI Operational Region II Bandung, especially for information technology managers and the other parties in PT KAI Operational Region II Bandung which are directly related to the use of information technology. Helping solve the problems which often occur in the implementation of information technology, which result in suboptimal use of information technology.

METHOD
The type of research used in this research is descriptive and verificative research. The data wereobtained by usingquestionnaires. The research instrument was in the form of questionnaires which were distributed to the respondents, in this case were the employees of PT K.A.I.
Thevariables included in this study consist of the independent variables (X), which are transactional leadership, transformational leadership and level of education, while the dependent variable (Y) is the perception of usefulness. What is meant by the transactional leadership is portrayed as something valuable exchange between the leadersand employees, intervention, which is done by leaders in the organizational process which is intended to control and correct the mistakes that involve the interaction between leaders and employees who are pro-active. The leaderships areactive management by exception, passive management by exception and contingent reward.
Variable indicatorsof transactional leadership which are developed in this study consist of: -Work with the old way -Do not change if it goes smoothly -Do intervention if the standards are not achieved -Do intervention if the problem is bad -Agreement about the return for what they have done-rewards if it works properly -Negotiations to get awards The meaning of Transformational Leadership in this study is that transformational leadersshould be able to persuade their employees to perform their duties beyond their own interests for the sake of a larger organization. Bass and Avolio (1990), suggest that transformational leadership has four dimensions which theycall"The Four I's", that areideal influence, motivation -inspiration, intellectual simulation, individual consideration.
Variable indicators of transformational indicators which aredeveloped in this study consist of: Ideal influence -Pride -Trust -Loyalty -Respect Motivation-Inspiration -Motivating the employees -The use of symbol -Goal achievement -Skill Intellectual Simulation -Bring up new ideas -Problem solving Individual Consideration -Attention -Appreciation -Advisory through personal interactions What is meant by education level in this study is one's mindset and insights, in this caseincluding the mindset and insights on leadership. Besides, the level of education is also a part of the work experience (Rachmat in Harsiwi, 2003). The sub-variables of education level are the length of mindset, insight and experience.
The indicatorsof education level which are developed are: -The length of working -The growth of position -The length of serving -Career development -Last education The use of perception is an application that has a high degree of usability which is believed by the users that there is a positive relationship between the use and performance. The accompanying indicator is the belief, with the sub-variables are: -The users are more likely to accept and use the information technology applications because they are sure that the application can help them work better. -The users are sure that the application is useful for them, at the same time they believe that the application is too difficult to use, and they feel that the benefits are in proportion to the work they have done. For more details on the operationalization of the variables in this study.

FINDING
The findings of the research conducted. In accordance with the results of the hierarchical regression, the first stage of the hierarchical regression analysis is including the effect of educational level to transactional leadership (independent variable) and transformational leadership (dependent variable). The results of the hierarchical regression analysis showed that transactional leadership does not affect the use ofperceptioninformation technology.
The same thing is applied to the type of transformational leadership, the first stage of the hierarchical regression analysis is includingthe transformational leadership withperceived information technology, the result of analysis shows that transformational leadership statisticallyhassignificant influence only on the use of perceived information technology Consistent with the findings of a study conducted by Ruyter, Schepers and Wetzells (2005), which uses t test with bootstrap procedure from 250 resample at a service company, the researchers found that the transactional leadership that focuses on the effectiveness cost has no significant effect on the perceived information technology (t = 0.099, p = 0.9212). In their finding, they also found that the type of transformational leadership has a significant influence on the useof the perceived information technology (t = 2,049, p = 0.0416).
By connecting the sub-dimensions of the type of transformational leadership directly on the usefulness of perceived information technology, found that the effect of transformational leadership is fully elaborated by the sub-dimensions of intellectual stimulation in the use of perceived information technology (Ji = 0094; t = 1900). This indicates that encouraging new ways of thinking and facilitating employees to be able to analyze the problems from many different viewpoints will be able to generate better level of acceptance of the technology of individual within an organization (the use of perceived information as a mediator). This study found that the level of education does not moderate positive effect of transactional leadership and transformational leadership on the use of perceived information technology. The effect of interaction of transactional leadership and level of education which is hypothesized cannot significantly explain the variation in the variable of the use of perceived information technology. The effect of interaction of transformational leadership and education level does not significantly explain the variation in the variable of the use of perceived information technology.
The results showed that the level of education did not statistically moderate the influence of transactional leadership on the useof perceived information technology and transformational leadership on the use of perceived information technology. The explanation that can be given is that the role of level of education moderation has a strong influence to reduce some of the uncertainty and ambiguity in the role and responsibility of the employeesfrom the work that has been predetermined. The resultof this study indicates that in the relation to the use of perceived information technology at PT KAI operational region II Bandung, employees of PT KAI operational region II Bandung whouse E-Ticketing information technology haveunderstood clearly the useof information technology in their work. The use of E-Ticketing application is one of the roles in the work that its usefulnesshas previously been defined well and clearly by the manager, so that employees do not experience the uncertainty and ambiguity.
The result also shows that E¬-Ticketing Information technology is designed to provide integrated data, which can eliminate the twofold source of the data.
The integrated data gives the sense that wrong dataentrycan simultaneously havemajor implications on the overall organization, this can make the source of discomfort, resulting in uncertainty and ambiguity to the end user, and being not aware of this anxiety can affect the use of individualperceived information technologywhich finally can lead to problems in the implementation.
By providing a strong influence on the behavioral rating to be taken and the behavioral rating which have been carried out, the level of education reduces some of the anxiety and uncertainty that comes from incorrect data entry, which can simultaneously have major implications on the overall organization. The result of this research showed that the level of education statistically did not moderate the influence of transactional leadership on the use of perceived information technology, and transformational leadership on the use of perceived information technology. The explanation that can be given is that the role of level of education moderation has a strong influence by reducing some of the uncertainty and ambiguity in the role and responsibility of the employees from the work that has been predetermined. The result of this study indicates that in relation to the use of perceived information technology at PT KAI Operational Region II Bandung, the employees of PT KA1 Operational Region II Bandung who use E-Ticketing information technology haveclearly understood the use of information technology in their work. The use of E-Ticketing application is one of the roles in the work that its usefulness has previously been defined well and clearly by the manager so that the employees do not experience the uncertainty and ambiguity.

DISCUSSION
The result of research also showed that E-Ticketing information technology is designed to provide integrated data, which can eliminate the source of the data that is twofold. The integrated data gives the sense that the wrong data entry can simultaneously have major implications on the overall organization.This can make it the source of discomfort, resulting in the uncertainty and ambiguity to the end user. Being not aware of this anxiety can affect the use of individual perceived information technology which ultimately can lead to problems in the implementation.
