Abstract

Bureaucratic reform is a systematic agenda to realize professional, transparent, and service-oriented governance. In this process, the quality of state apparatus is a determining factor in the success of government administration and public services. One of the main instruments in state apparatus management is the implementation of a merit system that places competence, performance, and integrity as the basis for managing human resources of the apparatus. This study aims to analyze the role of the merit system as a determinant of the performance and integrity of modern bureaucracy, identify obstacles in its implementation, and formulate a strategy for restructuring apparatus governance based on meritocracy. The study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method through the review of literature, scientific journals, laws and regulations, and related official documents. The research analysis is based on Max Weber's rational-legal bureaucracy theory, the concept of good governance, and the theory of meritocracy in public administration. The results show that the implementation of a merit system can increase the professionalism of state apparatus, encourage objectivity in job promotions, strengthen bureaucratic integrity, and improve the quality of performance and public services. However, the implementation of the merit system still faces various obstacles, such as political interference, a culture of patronage, weak oversight, limited staff competency, and a suboptimal digital civil service management system. Therefore, strengthening leadership commitment, accountable oversight, staff competency development, and organizational culture transformation are needed to support the realization of a modern, professional, and integrated bureaucracy.

Abstract

The development of information and communication technology has driven digital transformation in government administration to enhance efficiency, transparency, and the quality of public services. One of the Indonesian government's efforts to achieve this is through the implementation of the Electronic- Based Government System (SPBE). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of SPBE implementation at the Department of Communication and Informatics of Padang City and to identify the factors influencing its success in supporting governance. This research is based on e-government theory, policy evaluation concepts, New Public Management (NPM), and the design-reality gap concept. The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation and semi-structured interviews conducted on April 8, 2026. The results show that SPBE implementation has positively contributed to improving administrative efficiency, strengthening internal coordination, and enhancing the quality of digital-based public services. However, the implementation is not yet optimal due to several challenges, including lack of system integration among regional agencies, limited human resource capacity, low digital literacy among the community, and system security issues. Therefore, strengthening system integration, improving human resource capacity, and conducting continuous evaluation are necessary to optimize SPBE implementation in achieving effective and sustainable governance.
