<![CDATA[The recruitment policy for Government Employees with Work Agreements (Pegawai Pemerintah dengan Perjanjian Kerja/PPPK) is an integral part of the civil service management reform aimed at fulfilling human resource needs through a professional, competency-based, and merit-oriented system. Nevertheless, the implementation of this policy at the local government level continues to encounter various challenges that may affect its effectiveness. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the PPPK recruitment policy in the Pariaman City Government using George C. Edward III’s Policy Implementation Model, which emphasizes four key dimensions: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that the implementation of the PPPK recruitment policy in the Pariaman City Government has generally been carried out effectively and in accordance with regulations established by the central government. Successful implementation is supported by effective inter-agency communication, the commitment of implementing officials, a well-defined bureaucratic structure, as well as adequate regulatory and information technology support. However, the implementation process still faces challenges, including limited regional fiscal capacity, changes in regulations and implementation schedules issued by the central government, and dependence on the national civil service administration system. This study concludes that the four dimensions of Edward III’s Policy Implementation Model are interrelated in determining the successful implementation of the PPPK recruitment policy. Therefore, strengthening regional fiscal capacity, enhancing intergovernmental coordination, and improving the civil service administration system are essential to support more effective and sustainable implementation of the PPPK recruitment policy.]]>
