The Definition of Eficiency and Afectivity

            Many sources I’ve looking for searching the meaning of eficiency and efectivity, such as from website or others’ opinion. Now I’ll describe from every sources I got, here they are :

1. Eficiency

·        Efficiency is a measure of success judged in terms of number of resources / costs to achieve the results of activities performed.

·        Mulyamah (1987;3) : Efficiency is a measure of input use in comparing the plan with the use of other words realized or actual use.

·        SP.Hasibuan (1984;233-4) : Efficiency is the best comparison between the input (input) and outputs (the results between the benefits of the resources used), as well as the optimal result is achieved by using limited resources. In other words the relationship between what has been achieved.

·        Indonesian Great Dictionary : the proper way (business, labor) run something (which is not a waste of time, effort, cost); flexibility, efficiency.

·        The word efficiency of the efficiency comes from the English language. The equation he says is "leveraging". Leverage comes from the word "lever" the old French meaning "to make easy". In fact, it is the meaning of the word "make easy" is covered by the efficiency of the word. By using a certain way, so that hard work could be done in a short time, without too much effort. That is why the word implies efficiency "to make easy."

2. Affectivity

According to Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia 3^rd edition 2003, page 284 compiled by the National Education Ministry Language Center,

Effective is 'effect' (consequently, its influence, impression); 2 'efficacious or efficacious' (tt drugs); 3 'can bring results; effective' (tt business, action); 'mangkus'; 4 'come true' (tt laws, regulations). Meanwhile, the effectiveness of a sense of 'effectiveness'. Effectiveness is a 'situational effect'; 'memorable thing', 2 ​​'efficacy'; 'efficacy' (tt drugs); 3 'success' (tt business, action); 'kemangkusan'; 'case validity' 4 (about the law of law, regulations. Meanwhile, the efficiency (noun) is derived from the efficient (adj).

Efficient is the 'something that is appropriate or proper to do (produce) (with no waste of time, business expenses,)'; 2 'capable of performing their duties properly and carefully', 'useful'; 'coincide in order' ; 'sangkil'. Furthermore, efficiency is the 'mean precision (business, labor) in things running (with no wasted time, effort, cost)'; 'flexibility'; 'efficiency'; 'kesangkilan'; the ability of 2 'to perform tasks with good and on (with no wasted time, effort, cost) '.

So from based on previous concepts can be concluded that the effectiveness is 'all efforts and steps that can bring results', while the efficiency is the 'accuracy and the ability to perform tasks well and on with no wasted time, effort, and cost'.

Eficiency and Afectivity, we should look from the etymology :

Afectivity = effectively has a causal nature

Eficiency  = thrifty

So that the effectiveness in terms of consequences that occur, meanwhile efficiency in terms of it’s thrifty in the process of time, energy, materials, etc. I give an example :

-         School are located within walking distance. But you always go with taxi  so you are not late. (Effective) but if you are wake up early and go to school early you wouldn’t need to pay taxi. (Eficiency)

-         If you want to cross the river about 1.5 meters. if you think cross the bridge a distance of 1 km was not a good idea. but if you jump, this is an effective and efficient.

That’s all I could presented to you all of my opinion about  Eficiency and Afectivity, many sources are coming from Google, Blogspot, and other articles.
