Abstract

Affirmative action has increased the presence of Indigenous Papuans (OAP) in the bureaucracy of Southwest Papua Province, yet numerical representation does not automatically guarantee substantive representation in positions that determine policy direction. This study analyzes the quality of OAP representation through three components of representative bureaucracy: passive representation, linking conditions, and active representation. Using an interpretive qualitative approach with an embedded case study design in the Provincial Government of Southwest Papua, the study involved 25 informants, with data from in-depth interviews, documentation study, and limited observation, analyzed through theory-driven thematic analysis, pattern matching, and explanation building. The findings show that OAP representation is high in number and evenly distributed across ranks, but uneven by role weight—concentrated in supporting positions, while policy-determining positions remain limited. The five linking conditions (discretion, domain relevance, competence and legitimacy, leadership support, accountability) remain weak. Active representation is limited in the policy arena but stronger in service delivery, accompanied by the symptom of substantive roles being carried by other actors. The three components form a tiered chain that breaks at the middle, so that representation is strong in presence but shrinks in influence. The weak conversion stems from fragile evidence-based legitimacy and the absence of capacity development, so that strengthening representation requires building institutional conditions rather than merely adding numbers.

Abstract

Adopting national structures, systems, and procedures does not automatically yield institutional effectiveness; what matters is the process of appropriation and adaptation by organizational actors, which becomes critical under the constraints of an affirmation setting. This study analyzes adaptive structuration across three dimensions—structure as rules and resources, the duality of structure and agency, and appropriation and adaptation—in the adoption of personnel systems and procedures at BKPSDM of Southwest Papua Province. An interpretive qualitative case-study design was used, relying on in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, analyzed with the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña under Adaptive Structuration Theory. Rules, resources, systems, and procedures are complete on paper but not yet meaningful in practice; officials’ capacity to interpret, negotiate, and modify national provisions is low, so they tend to receive structure passively; and appropriation stops at the procedural level and is often misaligned with the systems’ original intent. The study yields a typology of adaptation—procedural, pragmatic, and substantive. The three dimensions form a chain that breaks in the middle because the agency dimension is weak, so the adaptation that forms is dominated by the symbolic type; weak agency is the decisive link, while the typology becomes a basis for practice-based institutional-maturity measurement

Abstract

The formation of new autonomous regions demands strengthening the institutional capacity of regional finance managers so they can increase local own-source revenue (PAD), yet that capacity is often read merely as a resource-shortage problem. This study analyzes the institutional capacity of the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Southwest Papua Province through Grindle and Hilderbrand’s capacity-development dimensions—institutional context, human-resource development, organizational strengthening, enabling environment, and change dynamics. A qualitative case-study design was used; data were collected through interviews, documentation, and observation, then analyzed thematically. The findings show that institutional capacity sits in an administrative equilibrium—a stable balance at a low level in which structure, competence, and regulation lock one another onto revenue sources that run automatically. Officials are skilled at serving but are not prepared to pursue new sources; the structure is complete yet lacks owners for its functions; and operational regulation for sources that require initiative is absent, so levies are recorded at zero even though the legal umbrella is complete. The capacity foundation is not empty but filled and yet severed from its functions; strengthening it requires filling the operational-regulation layer as a lever that triggers chained adjustments in structure, competence, and incentives.
