Abstract

Regional autonomy grants extensive authority to local governments to manage human resources (HR) as part of efforts to achieve good governance. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as HR capacity gaps, budget constraints, and the influence of globalisation. This study aims to analyse the relevance of regional autonomy in HRD to strengthen the principles of good governance and formulate appropriate development strategies. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a SWOT analysis approach. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews and observations in several local governments selected purposively based on criteria of active HRD programmes. Secondary data were collected from official government documents, publications from the Central Statistics Agency, and relevant policy reports. The analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources and methods. The results indicate that the success of good governance is highly dependent on the quality of human resources and an adaptive bureaucratic structure. Strengths include local autonomy, demographic potential, and regulatory support, while weaknesses include disparities in human resource quality and limited performance evaluation. The greatest opportunities lie in the utilisation of digital technology and strategic partnerships, while threats include brain drain and inconsistent regulatory changes. The implications of this study emphasise the importance of an integrated strategy that combines human resource capacity building, technology utilisation, and national character building as instruments of national power in facing the challenges of globalisation.

Abstract

Regional autonomy is a constitutional mandate that grants broad authority to regions to regulate and manage their own government affairs and local interests in accordance with laws and regulations. This policy not only serves as the foundation for good governance, but also as a strategy for empowering regions in facing the demands of globalisation. This study aims to analyse regional autonomy management from a human resource management (HRM) perspective, focusing on the role of regional leaders and the competence of civil servants (ASN) in supporting the effectiveness of regional governance. The research design is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. The research population includes all government officials in the New Autonomous Regions (DOB) that are the research locations, while the sample was selected purposively based on their direct involvement in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of regional policies. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews, then analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and relationships between variables. The results of the study indicate that the success of regional autonomy management is greatly influenced by visionary leadership, professional civil servant competence, and an organisational culture oriented towards public service. Effective human resource management implementation can strengthen institutional capacity, improve service quality, and promote regional autonomy. These findings imply the need for strengthening capacity building of civil servants, implementing a merit-based system in recruitment and promotion, and conducting consistent performance evaluations to ensure the sustainability of regional autonomy.
