The goal to be achieved through this research is to analyze the variables that affect government
investment and expenditure on economic growth and employment opportunities in Kutai Kartanegara
Regency, using the Path Analysis method. This is a causality study, which analyzes the effect of
exogenous variables on endogenous variables. The variables used are investment variables,
government spending, economic growth and employment opportunities in Kutai Kartanegara Regency.
The data used in this study are secondary time series data from 2010 to 2020 sourced from BPS and
the Ministry of Finance. The data that has been collected is then analyzed quantitatively and
qualitatively to provide the proposed hypothesis using Path Analysis. The results show that
simultaneous research shows that Investment and Government Expenditure have a significant effect on
economic growth. Partially, investment has a positive and significant effect on economic growth,
government spending has a negative and insignificant effect on economic growth. Investment has a
positive and significant effect on Employment Opportunities. Government spending has a negative
and insignificant effect on
employment opportunities.
INTRODUCTION
Opportunity work is a term used to describe a situation in which a field profession is available for job
searchers to fill. However, according to Granovetter (2018) it might also be understood as a request for influence
work. Supartoyo et al., (2013) considered conventional growth population and growth force work as one factor
positive driving growth economy. More power for greater work will increase productivity, while more growth for
more work will expand the domestic market size (Berger & Fisher, 2013; Liu et al., 2017) . his can happen if
power workers are productive, since they will be absorbed by the existing work opportunities. It becomes an
issue when the growth power of work outnumbers the available work opportunities, resulting in the formation of
unemployment (Aprillia & Rejekiningsih, 2014; Atiyatna et al., 2016; Malik, 2018; Syarief et al., 2020) .
The rate of economic growth in Indonesia will have an impact on the level of available work, which will,
in turn, have an impact on the degree of unemployment. Chance rate work is ratio Among total working
residents to total force work (Anggoro, 2015; Idris et al., 2014) . The in-definition of vacancy work is the ratio
value opportunity work; however, this indicator is supposed to show the amount of absorption to force work.
Lack of field profession is a critical problem that must be addressed, as the reason for working or not
working is directly tied to people's ability to find job. The labor force with diverse job statuses is always on the
rise (Wijaya & Tanumihardja, 2014).

As we know that the district Kutai Kartanegara this enough broad and relative no congested its
inhabitants. At the Central Statistics Agency East Kalimantan Province explained how state force work Regency
Kutai Kartanegara, Total population at age in 2018 there were 556,907 people and a ratio of resident work to
total resident age work around 60.52 percent. Then 2019 is increasing to 572,004 souls with resident age work
around 62.12 percent. In other words, out of 100 residents 15 years old to the top there were 61 people working in
2018 and around 62 people in 2019.
Product Value Gross Regional Domestic Regency Kutai Kartanegara on base price valid in 2020 to reach
149.06 trillion rupiah. Nominally, the value of Product Gross Regional Domestic this experience contraction by
8.69 percent compared with in 2019, which reached
162.02 trillion rupiah. Decreasing mark Product Gross Regional Domestic this affected by the decline production
in part big field effort. Based on price constant 2010, number Product Gross Regional Domestic also experienced
decrease, from 126.16 trillion rupiah in 2019 to 120.56 trillion rupiah in 2020. This is show During year 2020

Sector the economy experiencing meaningful growth in give very significant contribution for the increase
in GDP is sector mining and quarrying 65.37%, while for sector agriculture, forestry, and fisheries new could
accounted for 14.92%, Building 8.56%, Trade Large & Retail: Car & Bike Repair 4.33%, Then, Financial
Services & Insurance 0.38% in GRDP. Then, one proper problem be addressed by careful in development
Regency Kutai Kartanegara is still the lowest in the Electricity & Gas sector 0.06%, the lowest contribution in
GDP formation is Company Services contribution 0.04%. Sector mining and quarrying, when this is the most
dominant sector in the formation of the total GDP. mostly contributed by the increase in sub- sector mining, in
particular Oil and Gas and Coal.
As stated before, by theory rate growth economy own connection to rate growth opportunity work. Could
seen from table above, speed growth economy in the district Kutai Kartanegara represented with GRDP data and
rate opportunity work represented by the data amount residents who work in the district Kutai Kartanegara
experience fluctuation During period time 2018 to 2020. From the table on could concluded that the GRDP and
Total. data working residents no walk inside same trend, problem that occur when increase in GRDP in 2018
and 2019 while total residents who work in the district Kutai Kartanegara also tends to increase, then second
problem happened in 2020, where in this the amount of GDP decrease whereas total the working population is
also decreasing significant from year before.

Success growth economy, no could separated from increase investment. Investment is the decisive
keyword rate growth economy, because beside will push increase in output significant, also automatic will
Upgrade input requests so that at their disposal will Upgrade opportunity work and welfare community (growth
economy) as consequences from increase income received public (Sulaksono, 2015) .
Development overview development area no free from development distribution and allocation
investment between area. In relation need separated type investment made by the sector private and government
because decisive factor the location no always same. However, second type investment that in the end will could
add opportunity work and give donation in overcome problems economic and social as poverty, unemployment
and so on. Basically, many influencing factors investment, including investment in the district Kutai Kartanegara.
Factors considered as determinant investment including: potential resource nature, tribe interest, GRDP per capita,
availability facilities and infrastructure, bureaucracy licensing, quality resource humans, rules employment,
stability politics and security as well as condition social culture public (Pulungan et al., 2019) .
Importance role government in something system economy has many discussed in theory economy public.
During this many debated about how much far the role that should be carried out by the government. This thing
because everyone is different in evaluation about cost profit earned of programs created by the government.
However no could denied that life public depend on the services provided by the government. Many parties get
profit from activity expenditure government and must recognized as well as trusted for carry role more big and
more determine in effort management economy national/regional (Todaro, 2002 in Herawati, 2020) .
Government Regency Kutai Kartanegara Keep going to do breakthrough in goals and objectives
development as poured in Term Development Plan Regional Medium Term (RPJMD) 2016-2021 is one of them
related direction policy economy in 2019 which is part from commitment government area in achievement
development national, especially economy that is still dominated by sector mining and quarrying specifically
commodity oil and gas as well as coal. So that in formulation policy economy area by general referring to the
Plan Work Government and Plans Work Local Government.
Study before related investment and expenditure government has found by researchers. Study that done in
the city Samarinda by Forwadi et al. (2021) . Research conducted in different cities naturally will produce different
things. Then research conducted is on a different aspect. The goal to be achieved through this research is to
analyze the variables that affect government investment and expenditure on economic growth and employment
opportunities in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Hopefully study this could beneficial for readers, especially
academics so that they can develop study this Becomes better.

Based on the results in table 5.4. Investment data has a significance of 0.150 and Government
Expenditures of 0.715 and Growth of 0.237 which explains that sig > 0.05 which means that there is no
heteroscedasticity.
1.2. Autocorrelation Test
A good equation is one that has no autocorrelation problem. One measure in determining whether
there is an autocorrelation problem is the Durbin-Watson (DW) test which is presented in the table below.
Table 9. Results of 2. Structure Autocorrelation Test
Model Durbin-Watson

Source: Processed Data
Based on the Durbin Watson (DW) Method Guidelines, the test generated from the model has a
value of 3.030 which means the Durbin Watson (DW) value is more than
2.92 with a Durbin Watson (DW) value above 2.92, it can be concluded that the data from the
autocorrelation test results it explains then there is autocorrelation.
1.3. Normality Test
In this case, what is tested for normality is the residual value generated by the regression model. A
good model is one that has a normally distributed residual value. One way to test the normality of the
data is to look at the spread of data on diagonal sources on the Normal PP Plot Of Regression
Standardized Residual graph as the basis for making decisions. A data is said to be normally distributed if
the real data line follows the diagonal line (Sunyoto, 2010: 108). If the residuals come from a normal
distribution, then the values of the data distribution will lie around and form a straight line pattern.

2.1. Test By Simultaneous
From table 12 Annova, the results of the analysis of the Effect of Government Investment and
Expenditure on Economic Growth in Kutai Kartanegara Regency are simultaneously carried out with a
significance Fcount > Ftable or a significant value < 0.05, then the hypothesis is accepted (rejecting H0
and accepting H1). If Fcount < Ftable or a significant value of 0.05 then the hypothesis is rejected
(accepting H0 and rejecting H1). Based on the results of the analysis, obtained Fcount of 7.105 with a
significance of
0.017 while Ftable was obtained at 4.458, thus it is known (Fcount 7.105 > Ftable 4.458) then the model is
feasible to use. From the results of Significant F, it shows a significant value of 0.017 when compared to
a significant level of 0.05, the value of sig = 0.017
<0.05 level. So it can be concluded from the results of the analysis that Ho rejects, or in other words the model can
be used

< t table significant value 0.05 then the hypothesis is rejected (accept H0 and reject H1), with comparing
the value of tcount with ttable of test results are as follows:
a. Effect of Investment (X1) on Employment Opportunities (Y2). The results of the analysis show
that the path coefficient of Investment (X1) is 0.028, this path has a positive effect. The t-count value
is 5.031 while the t-table is 1.895 (tcount= 5.031 < ttable = 1.895), thus in this direct relationship
pattern, Investment (X1) has a positive and significant effect on Economic Growth (Y1) in Kutai
Kartanegara Regency. Supported by Probability Value (sig) 0.002, p <0.05, which means significant.
Based on this, it can be concluded that the path has a positive and significant effect.
b. Effect of Government Expenditure (X2) on Employment Opportunities (Y2). The results of the
analysis show that the coefficient of the Government Expenditure (X2) path is -0.016, this path has a
negative effect. The t-count value is -0.352 while the t-table is 1.895 meaning (t-count = -0.016 < t
table = 1.895), thus in this direct relationship pattern, Government Expenditure (X2) has a positive
and insignificant effect on Employment Opportunities (Y2) in Kutai Kartanegara Regency.
Supported by Probability Value (sig) 0.735 < 0.05 which means significant. Based on this, it can be
concluded that the path has a negative and insignificant effect.
c. The Effect of Growth (Y1) on Employment Opportunities (Y2). The results of the analysis show
that the coefficient of the path of Economic Growth (Y1) is -0.004 this path has a negative effect. The
t count value is -0.618 while the t table is 1.895 (t count = -0.618 < t table = 1.895), thus in this direct
relationship pattern, Growth (X3) has a negative and insignificant effect on Employment
Opportunities (Y2) in Kutai Regency Kartanegara. Supported by Probability Value (sig) 0.556, p >

Based on table 19, it is explained that X1 to Y1 and X2 to Y1 as for the relationship through the
Intervening variable to find the indirect effect of the impact from X1 to Y2 through Y1 namely (X1 - Y2 +
(Py1x1) x (Py2y1)). While the variables X2 to Y2 through Y1 are (X2 - Y2 + (Py1x2) x (Py2y1)). In this case
the Y1 variable becomes an intermediary variable or an Intervening variable. While X1, X2 to Y1 and X1, X2
to Y2 is a direct relationship without going through an intermediary variable or Intervening variable.

CONCLUSION
Based on the results of analysis, discussion and hypothesis testing, several conclusions can be drawn such
as investment has a positive and significant effect on Economic Growth in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. This
explains that there is investment in increasing economic activity which has an impact on increasing development
in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Government spending has a negative and insignificant effect on economic
growth in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. This generally comes from government expenditures from the Regional
Revenue and Expenditure Budget (RREB) whose source comes from taxes. This is what makes Government
Expenditures have a negative influence on Economic Growth in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Investment has a
positive and significant effect on Job Opportunities in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. This explains that investment
in Kutai Kartanegara is not in capital but is labor-intensive investment. Kutai Kartanegara itself still relies on
natural resources from oil and coal mining. Government Expenditures have a negative and insignificant effect on
Job Opportunities in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Government spending itself comes from the Regional Revenue
and Expenditure Budget (RREB), the source of which is mostly from Regional Revenue, namely taxes and so
on. Economic growth has a negative and insignificant effect on Job Opportunities in Kutai Kartanegara Regency.
Economic growth factor is considered insignificant, meaning that there are other factors that affect
employment opportunities, namely investment which has been significant in this study and other factors that are
outside this research. Investment and Government Expenditure have a significant effect on Economic Growth in
Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Investment is a factor in the economy and Government Expenditure comes from
regional tax revenues therefore it has an impact on the regional economy. The indirect effect of investment has a
negative and insignificant effect on Employment Opportunities through Economic Growth in Kutai Kartanegara

insignificant effect on employment opportunities through economic growth in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. So it
