This study evaluates the implementation of Law Number 20 of 2023 concerning the State Civil Apparatus and its impact on the flexibility of human resources management in Public Service Agencies in Indonesia. Using descriptive content analysis with Dunn's policy evaluation framework, this study highlights the conflict between national bureaucratic standardization and the dynamic operational needs of Public Service Agencies. The analysis indicates that this policy is ineffective and inadequate because it threatens the continuity of specialist services; 16.93% of Public Service Agencies employees are non-State Civil Apparatus, with the figure reaching 40.51% for specialist doctors in the health sector. In terms of efficiency and responsiveness, the ban on recruiting non-State Civil Apparatus personnel hinders Public Service Agencies agility in responding to market needs and increases bureaucratic burdens. An evaluation of equity and appropriateness concludes that a one-size-fits-all approach risks reducing the quality of public services and international competitiveness, as evidenced by the decline in Maturity Rating scores for several Public Service Agencies sub-clusters. This study recommends the need for derivative regulations that provide discretion for Public Service Agencies to manage professional staff independently in order to harmonize regulatory integrity with service flexibility.
