Abstract

The professionalism of expert staff in the Indonesian House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Republik Indonesia (DPR RI) Republik Indonesia) is influenced by various interrelated factors, including work management, coordination, compensation, qualifications, and competencies. This study aims to identify the key factors affecting the professionalism of Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Republik Indonesia (DPR RI) expert staff and to provide recommendations for improving their performance. A qualitative research design was employed using a thematic approach, grounded theory, and triangulation, with data obtained from interviews and documents analyzed through NVIVO 14 ( ). The findings reveal that professionalism is primarily shaped by effective work management and coordination, competitive compensation, adequate qualifications and competencies, rigorous recruitment and selection processes, and objective performance evaluations. Furthermore, continuous professional development and clear career pathways significantly enhance staff loyalty and performance. Benchmarking against industry standards also provides insights into best practices that can be adopted. In addition, a well-defined organizational structure and effective strategies to address workplace challenges help clarify roles and responsibilities. High-quality support from expert staff and satisfaction with compensation directly contribute to the effectiveness of members and leaders of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) parliamentary bodies. These findings imply that the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) needs to strengthen these strategic factors to ensure maximum efficiency and effectiveness of expert staff, ultimately enhancing the overall performance of the institution.

Abstract

This study examines Indonesia's digital electoral governance systems—SILON, SIPOL, and SIREKAP—designed to uphold the constitutional principles of direct and fair elections (LUBER-JURDIL). SILON demonstrated an efficiency of 80% in processing candidate lists, achieving 30% compliance with female representation. SIPOL reduced administrative errors by 40%; however, systemic challenges remain. SIREKAP encountered a 12% discrepancy in vote recapitulation in rural areas such as Ogan Komering Ilir, mainly due to offline data entry bottlenecks (KPUD Sumsel, 2024). These issues illustrate Heeks' (2001) concept of the "design-reality gap," where failures arise not from technical inadequacies but from misalignments between digital systems and decentralized institutional contexts. SIPOL's dependence on manual submissions from 18 political parties resulted in delays, highlighting the phenomenon of "automation theater" (Warburton & Aspinall, 2019)—a superficial digitalization that obscures underlying bureaucratic inefficiencies. The contrast between urban and rural areas is significant. While SIREKAP's blockchain protocols ensured 89% transparency in urban precincts, they faltered in 31% of rural locations due to analog errors (KPU Technical Guideline No. 15/2023). In conservative regions such as Lahat, only 24% of candidate placements were female, despite SILON's gender quotas, indicating the presence of sociocultural barriers. The findings suggest the need for hybrid models that blend digital precision with grassroots engagement, as evidenced by KPUD Sumsel's literacy campaigns, which reduced SIREKAP discrepancies from 18% to 12%. Ensuring sustainable electoral integrity necessitates addressing institutional misalignments alongside technological advancements
