Abstract

Introduction. This study explores factors influencing the effectiveness of digital archiving systems in Indonesian universities, aiming to improve search time, storage, and organization efficiency.

Data Collection Method. Using a mixed sequential explanatory approach, data were collected from 168 university archivists through simple random sampling and 20 key informant interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using one-sample t-tests and PLS-SEM, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis.

Results and Discussion. The results reveal that system design, archivist satisfaction, and self-efficacy significantly impact the effectiveness of digital archiving systems. However, training programs did not show a significant effect. Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between system design and user satisfaction on system effectiveness.

Conclusion. The effectiveness of digital archiving in universities is influenced by system design and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy strengthens the impact of system design and user satisfaction, highlighting the importance of both technical and psychological factors in managing digital archives effectively.
