(2) to analyze the effect of HR competency performance to employment in PT. Mitra Excellent Indonesia, Jakarta and South Kalimantan. The study was conducted at PT. Mitra Excellent Indonesia Graha Mas Pemuda Blok AD 16 Jl. Pemuda Kav.1 Pulogadung, East Jakarta. Data collection was conducted from July to August 2012. The data used are primary data and secondary data. Primary data obtained from interviews and questionnaires distribution. Secondary data were obtained from the literature and the internet. This research analysis tool using linear regression. Identification of human resource competency needed in PT. Mitra Excellent Indonesia is the action orientation, communication, creativity/innovation, critical judgment, customer orientation, interpersonal skill, leadership, teamwork and technical skill/functional. Overall, respondents' perceptions of competence has a frequency value of 73.7%, while the respondent's perception of performance has a frequency value of 73.8%. Overall, the effect of variable competency of HR performance to employment is 62.3%. While the competency of the nine variables that significantly affect the performance of the employees there are only three variables, the variable creativity/innovation, leadership variables and technical skill/functional variables. While the other six variables are action orientation variables, communication variables, critical judgment variables, customer orientation variables, interpersonal skill variables and teamwork variables not significantly influence performance employment. Managerial implications that can be done is to conduct a variety of training for employees in each work unit such as active learning, conduct training need analysis, advanced leader training, basic mechanic systems, engine systems and maintenance, trouble shooting machine, and training overhoul.

Judul: Strategi Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia Untuk Meningkatkan Kinerja Karyawan di PT. Persada.
Abstrak: Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) yang berkualitas merupakan penentu keberhasilan perusahaan. Melalui analisis kinerja SDM, akan dapat dirumuskan strategi pengembangan SDM yang relevan dengan kondisi dan kebutuhan SDM.Pengembangan SDM mempunyai dimensi yang luas, bertujuan meningkatkan potensi yang dimiliki oleh sumber daya manusia, agar profesionalisme dalam organisasi meningkat. Pencapaian tujuan tersebut harus ditempuh melalui suatu proses tahapan yang dimulai dari perencanaan sampai dengan pengelolaan dan pemeliharaan potensi sumber daya manusia. Dalam hal ini, pengembangan sumber daya manusia (human resources development) merupakan suatu proses peningkatan kualitas atau kemampuan manusia, yaitu mencakup perencanaan, pengembangan dan pengelolaan SDM. Penelitian dilakukan di PT. PERSADA, sebuah perusahaan penyedia jasa tenaga kerja secara outsourcing. Seluruh karyawan tetap perusahaan menjadi responden penelitian (60 orang). Data dikumpulkan dengan cara mewawancarai responden dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang disusun dengan didasarkan kepada konsep kompetensi SDM yaitu pengetahuan, keterampilan, motif, sifat, dan sikap, serta kinerja karyawan SDM. Terdapat sembilan informan penelitian yang merupakan Pakar SDM untuk analisis Strategic Assumption Surfacing and Testing (SAST) dan Analitical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Data dianalisis secara deskriptif menurut “modus” untuk menilai kompetensi karyawan departemen SDM yang kemudian dijadikan dasar sebagai pembentukan asumsi strategi menggunakan SAST, dari asumsi strategi terpilih kemudian dilakukan pemrioritasan dengan menggunakan AHP. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penurunan kinerja karyawan di Divisi SDM disebabkan oleh adanya gap dalam kompetensi karyawan departemen SDM. Kinerja Divisi Penilaian dan Compensation Benefit memiliki performa yang sangat buruk sementara Divisi Hubungan Industrial dinilai cukup baik Hasil perolehan asumsi strategi dengan menggunakan SAST mendapatkan tujuh asumsi strategi yang berada dalam kuadran penting dan pasti yaitu assessment, pendidikan dan pelatihan, kompensasi dan insentif, rotasi pekerjaan, audit, mapping, dan direktori kompetensi. Hasil pengolahan AHP menunjukkan bahwa prioritas strategi yang dapat ditempuh berdasarkan kepentingan dan kepastian perusahaan saat ini untuk meningkatkan kinerja adalah assessment, rotasi pegawai dan direktori kompetensi.

Judul: Sintesis Flavon dari Fenol dan Benzoil Klorida
Abstrak: Flavone is a class of flavonoid, commonly found in plants with wide bioactivity spectrum. A widely used flavone synthesis route is through acidcatalyzed oxidative cyclization of β-diketone. In this study, unsubstituted flavone had been synthesized via 5-step from phenol, with 22% yield and successfully increased the yield of previous study on Fries rearrangement of phenyl acetate and benzoylation of o-HAP steps. Phenol was acetylated resulting 93% phenyl acetate. AlCl3-catalyzed Fries rearrangement in 1.5 hour and at 120 °C converted phenyl acetate into o-hydroxyacetophenone (o-HAP) with 40% yield. AlCl3 as catalyst produced o-HAP with higher and reproducible yield compared with BF3·Et2O and ZnCl2. Benzoylation of o-HAP followed by Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement of the ester product using KOH in dried pyridine produced β-diketone 1-(2- hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione. The yield of ester and β-diketone were 71% and 85%, respectively. Finally, oxidative cyclization of β-diketone with sulphuric acid as catalyst produced 99% of flavone. The flavone product had been characterized spectroscopically and its melting point as well.
