Abstract

This study investigates the failure of bureaucratic simplification policy in South-Central Timor Regency, Indonesia, particularly the mandated transition of echelon IV structural roles into functional positions under Permenpan RB No. 17 of 2021. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research collected data through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis involving affected civil servants, structural officials, and governance experts. Four interrelated barriers were identified: exclusion of civil servants from decision-making processes, demotivation due to unclear career paths and insufficient financial incentives, stagnant leadership at the echelon II level, and inadequate systemic support, including training and infrastructure. These challenges reflect the interplay of socio-political dynamics and regional resource constraints, which complicate the application of agile governance principles in peripheral regions. The study’s novelty lies in its localized perspective, which reveals governance and administrative complexities often overlooked in mainstream reform narratives. It emphasizes the critical role of leadership behavior, employee involvement, and institutional readiness in sustaining reform, offering practical insights for policy improvement in resource-limited contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how the governance of the salt industry in Malaka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, affects local democracy, particularly by distinguishing between procedural and substantive democratic outcomes. Despite growing interest in the democratic implications of natural resource governance, existing studies on coastal extractive resources often conflate these two dimensions, leading to mixed conclusions. Employing a qualitative single-case study approach, data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and desk research. The findings reveal that salt governance in Malaka triggered grassroots resistance and significantly increased voter turnout in the 2020 regional elections, ultimately contributing to the fall of a dominant political dynasty. These developments reflect a strengthening of procedural democracy through heightened civic engagement and electoral accountability. However, the same governance processes resulted in substantive democratic failures, including land dispossession, environmental degradation, and violations of customary rights. Furthermore, the political transition led to the rise of a cartel-style regime, where elites reconfigured power through alliances among business actors, bureaucrats, and political leaders. This study concludes that coastal extractive governance can simultaneously advance procedural democracy while undermining substantive democracy and calls for a more nuanced evaluation of democratic quality in resource-dependent, decentralized regions.

Abstract

This article explores the impact of top-down delayering policies on government employees in vertical institutions in Eastern Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with government employees in three vertical agencies in East Nusa Tenggara. Four main dimensions are explained: job suitability with competencies, future career patterns, innovative work behavior, and employee welfare. Findings indicate a significant mismatch betsween employee competencies and the demands of the new position, resulting in decreased efficiency, role confusion, and low morale. Concerns about unclear future career patterns were also identified, affecting employee motivation and morale. On the other hand, the transition to a more functional structure contributes to an increase in innovative work behavior, with employees feeling more empowered to make creative contributions. Apart from that, this policy also positively impacts the economic welfare of employees through increasing benefits and performance. This research underscores the importance of effective change management, adequate preparation, and communication in implementing bureaucratic delayering policies. Limitations of the study include the limited sample and focus on individual perceptions.
