The Effect of Training and Collaboration between Regional Government Agencies on Community Welfare in the Lima Puluh Kota District Public Library

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of training and collaboration among regional apparatus organizations (OPDs) on community welfare at the Public Library of Lima Puluh Kota Regency. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. A total sample of 190 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, linearity test, and path analysis with SPSS version 25. The results showed that training had a direct effect of 9.54% on community welfare, while OPD collaboration contributed a direct effect of 2.68%. Simultaneously, both variables contributed 11.6% to community welfare. TCR results showed that training was rated quite high (67.36%), OPD collaboration was low (55.84%), and community welfare remained very low (52.39%). The study recommends strengthening more contextual training programs and strategic OPD collaboration to sustainably improve community welfare.
