<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the influence of Digital Competence and SISPENA System Quality on the Performance of Early Childhood Education (PAUD) Assessors in Makassar City through Perceived Usefulness as a mediating variable at BAN-PDM South Sulawesi Province. The study used a quantitative approach with a population of 75 PAUD assessors in Makassar City. All population members were sampled through a saturated or census sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire with a Likert scale and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method with the help of SmartPLS. The results showed that Digital Competence had a positive but insignificant effect on Assessor Performance and Perceived Usefulness. SISPENA System Quality had a positive and significant effect on Assessor Performance and Perceived Usefulness. Perceived Usefulness also had a positive and significant effect on Assessor Performance. The results of the mediation test showed that Perceived Usefulness was unable to significantly mediate the effect of Digital Competence on Assessor Performance, while Perceived Usefulness was able to positively and significantly mediate the effect of SISPENA System Quality on Assessor Performance. These findings indicate that the improvement in Assessor Performance is more determined by the quality of the system and the perceived benefits of using SISPENA than by Digital Competence directly.]]>
