Based  on  the  results  of  this  study,  it  can  be 
concluded as follows: 1) Management commitment 
has a significant positive effect on asset management 
at  Government  Units  in  the  city  governments  of 
South Sumatra Province, meaning that Management 
Commitment  has  a  strong  influence  on  the 
optimization  of  asset  management.  2)  the 
competencies  of  an  asset  administrator  have  a 
positive  influence  on  asset  management,  it  means 
that competencies of asset administrators are needed 
to  assist  the  asset  management  to  be  carried  out 
optimally  at  Government  Units  in  the  city 
governments of South Sumatra Province. 
This  research  has  been  conducted  on  the 
influence  of  management  commitment  and 
competencies  of  asset  administrators  on  asset 
management.  However,  there  are  still  some 
limitations  in  this  study  to  be  an  input  for  further 
researchers  especially  on  optimizing  asset 
management.  The  limitations  in  this  study  are  as 
follows : 1) The scope of this study is only limited to 
4  city  governments  of  South  Sumatra  Province, 
while there  are  17  cities/districts in South  Sumatra 
Province which  were not included in this study; 2) 
two  variables  that  influence  asset  management  in 
this study are able to explain equal to 46,5%, while 
53,5% is explained by other variables, thus, there is 
still less exploration of other factors that affect asset 
management;  3)  The  sample  used  in  this  study  is 
only limited to the head of Asset Administrator, so 
that the information obtained is only limited to the 
perception  of  the  head  of  asset  administrator  in 
Government Units .  
In order to get better results, further researchers 
are expected  to do, as  follows: 1)  It is expected to 
expand the research area to whole cities and districts 
in this province. 2) To add the number of variables 
that influenced asset management. 3) To include all 
of the officials of asset management in Government 
Units.
