Abstract

The phenomenon of quiet quitting, defined as employees performing only at the minimum threshold of formal obligations without initiative or meaningful engagement, has emerged as a pressing global issue within bureaucratic governance. This study aims to analyze the manifestation of quiet quitting among the State Civil Apparatus (ASN), identify its contributing factors, and examine its implications for personnel administration effectiveness at the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) of Sidoarjo Regency. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through purposive in-depth interviews with six informants, non-participant observation, and document review. Data analysis utilized the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), with validity ensured through source and technique triangulation. Findings reveal that quiet quitting manifests across three dimensions of disengagement: physical, characterized by task-completion orientation without extra effort; cognitive, marked by presenteeism and learned helplessness; and emotional, reflected in apathy and avoidance-based work orientation. Contributing factors include career stagnation, imbalanced workload distribution, and insufficient recognition of ASN contributions, all of which represent breaches of the psychological contract. The implications are evident in declining productivity, service quality, and responsiveness. This study contributes to Indonesian public administration literature by documenting “silent normalization” and “contribution invisibility” as novel insights into quiet quitting within local government bureaucracy.

Abstract

Digital transformation in governance demands that the Civil State Apparatus (ASN) possess adaptive and technology-based competencies. This condition presents a particular challenge for island regions like Biak Numfor Regency, which face infrastructure limitations and geographical barriers. This study aims to: (1) analyze the actual digital competency conditions of ASN at the Education and Culture Office of Biak Numfor Regency; (2) identify supporting and inhibiting factors in digital competency development; and (3) formulate effective, adaptive, and contextual strategies. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected via in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, the study reveals that digital competency remains inadequate. A significant gap exists between Baby Boomers/Gen X (57% of total ASN) and Millennials/Gen Z, with only 22% having attended IT training in the last three years. Based on SWOT analysis, 16 alternative strategies and 6 core priorities were formulated, including competency mapping, cross-generational on-the-job training, and tripartite LMS cooperation, divided into short, medium, and long-term action plans tailored for Papua's island logistics.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation process of a policy by examining the influencing factors, supporting factors, and barriers encountered during its implementation. The study focuses on four main dimensions based on Edward III’s policy implementation theory, namely communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that policy implementation has been carried out through various cultural programs involving relevant stakeholders. The communication dimension shows effective information delivery and coordination among implementers, while the disposition of policy actors demonstrates commitment and positive attitudes toward implementation. The bureaucratic structure also supports the implementation process through established procedures and coordination mechanisms. However, the resource dimension remains suboptimal due to limitations in budget availability, cultural experts, and supporting facilities. This study concludes that strengthening resource capacity is essential to improve policy implementation effectiveness and ensure the sustainability of cultural programs.

Abstract

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a conditional social assistance policy designed to reduce poverty through increasing access to education and health services for the poor. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with an inductive-deductive method. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that the implementation of PKH has not run optimally due to weak coordination between actors, limited authority of the district government, inaccuracy of Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS), and dominance of administrative approaches that have not been able to accommodate the socio-cultural reality of the indigenous people of Biak. The important findings of this study show the existence of  the phenomenon of Cultural Filters, which is a mechanism for adaptation of indigenous peoples that filters and negotiates policy implementation based on the values of the Keret System and customary leadership. This research offers a Cultural-Informed Collaborative Governance model, which is a collaborative governance that integrates the government, PKH facilitators, village governments, and customary institutions as Sociocultural Validators in the process of validating beneficiary data. This model is expected to be able to improve the accuracy of social assistance distribution, minimize inclusion errors and exclusion errors, and realize the implementation of more adaptive, fair, and sustainable policies in the indigenous peoples of Papua.

Abstract

This study aims to critically evaluate the reconstruction of the merit system in the algorithmic era through the implementation of application-based performance assessments at the Malang Regency Civil Service and Human Resources Development Agency (BKPSDM). Using a descriptive qualitative method and an interpretive paradigm, this study examines how the transition from manual to digital assessment systems affects the objectivity and work culture of State Civil Apparatus (ASN). The findings indicate that algorithmic standardization has successfully established a new form of objectivity by reducing subjective intervention, minimizing spoil system practices, and enhancing transparency through integration with the Employee Income Supplement (TPP). However, the system’s effectiveness remains limited to quantitative accuracy, giving rise to “digital formalism,” where employees focus on fulfilling data input requirements rather than achieving substantive productivity. This condition creates a paradox of reporting distraction, shifting attention from service quality to meeting application indicators, consuming productive time, and increasing the risk of data manipulation. In addition, rigid algorithmic supervision generates psychological pressure that may reduce creativity and intrinsic motivation. The study concludes that the success of the merit system in the algorithmic era depends not only on technological sophistication but also on the balance between reliable algorithms and the moral integrity of human verifiers. Therefore, improvements are needed by integrating qualitative indicators into the system, simplifying application interfaces, and strengthening the role of supervisors as objective validators to ensure that digital transformation supports a more humanistic, transparent, and accountable merit system in Malang Regency.
