PENGARUH MANAJEMEN KELOMPOK TERHADAP KINERJA PETANI DI KELOMPOK TANI BAKTI MANUNGGAL KABUPATEN GUNUNGKIDUL

Abstrak

The agricultural sector is the foundation of national food security, and its success is greatly influenced by the effectiveness of farmer institutions. This study aims to analyze the influence of group management, including planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating functions, on farmer performance in the Bakti Manunggal Farmers Group in Bejiharjo Village, Gunungkidul Regency. The study used a quantitative approach with a questionnaire filling method 48 respondents selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression after undergoing the Method of Successive Intervals (MSI) transformation. The results showed that simultaneously, group management functions significantly influenced farmer performance, with a coefficient of determination of 0.682, meaning that management variables explained 68.2% of the variability in farmer performance. However, partially (t-test), only the planning variable X1 was shown to have a positive and significant influence on farmer performance (<0.05). Meanwhile, the organization, implementation, and evaluation aspects did not show significant effects individually. These findings imply that strengthening managerial capacity, particularly in the maturity of group work program planning, is a key factor in sustainably increasing the productivity and performance of farmer group members
