Introduction: Non-formal education is one of the government’s efforts to improve the skills, knowledge, and independence of the community. However, the effectiveness of program implementation is often influenced by the availability of resources and the organizational structure that supports it.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of resource availability and organizational structure on the effectiveness of non-formal education programs at the Department of Education and Culture, Konawe Kolaka Regency, Indonesia. This research employed a quantitative approach with a survey design. The study population consisted of officials and implementers of non-formal education programs, with a total sample of 396 respondents determined through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression.
Results: The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the variable of resource availability obtained an average score of 3.65 (73.08%), organizational structure 3.55 (70.91%), and non-formal education program effectiveness 3.58 (71.67%), all of which were in the medium category. The inferential analysis indicated that resource availability had a significant effect on program effectiveness (t = 4.575; sig = 0.000), as did organizational structure (t = 2.907; sig = 0.006). Simultaneously, both variables contributed 77.6% to the effectiveness of non-formal education programs.
Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that the effectiveness of non-formal education programs in Kolaka Regency, Indonesia, is still at a moderate level and therefore needs to be improved through enhancements in funding, information, delegation of authority, and program sustainability strategies.
