Abstract

This study aims to analyze local government responses to the budget efficiency policy mandated by Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 2025. The research focuses on three regions in Java Island; Mojokerto Regency, Bekasi City, and Blora Regency which represent varying levels of budget efficiency impact. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and case study method with data triangulation, the study finds that the effectiveness of budget efficiency policies is strongly influenced by three main factors: good governance, political stability, and bureaucratic capacity. Each region adopted distinct strategies to sustain public services, including digitalization, prioritization of essential sectors, and political negotiation. The findings suggest that the success of efficiency policies largely depends on local fiscal capacity and coordination among key stakeholders. The study recommends that the central government provide clearer technical guidelines and strengthen fiscal capacity and public participation at the local level.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of FWA in Surabaya City, using a qualitative approach. The results indicate that FWA has been implemented systematically, adaptively, and digitally, supported by local regulations, structured work mechanisms, and the utilization of the Kantorku application for attendance tracking, reporting, and performance monitoring of the ASN. The implementation of this policy is considered quite effective in maintaining the quality of public services, increasing operational budget efficiency, and driving a shift in the ASN work culture to a results oriented approach. However, several obstacles were identified, such as supervision limitations for roles requiring physical presence, variations in leadership managerial capacity to manage flexible work, the risk of reduced discipline and work coordination, and a high dependence on digital infrastructure and the digital literacy of the ASN. The study recommends strengthening leadership managerial capacity through digital leadership training and performance based supervision, developing continuous data driven monitoring and evaluation systems, enhancing ASN digital literacy, and implementing a hybrid working model tailored to job characteristics and organizational needs. Furthermore, this research emphasizes that FWA has the potential to serve as a strategic instrument to support a more adaptive, efficient, and public service oriented bureaucratic reform in the digital transformation era. Nevertheless, this study has limitations as it focuses on a single local government with a limited informants; thus, the findings cannot be fully generalized to the broader context of government bureaucracy in Indonesia.
