SIMPLIFICATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE REGIONAL SECRETARIAT OF BENGKULU PROVINCE

Study of Bengkulu Governor Regulation Number 39 of 2022

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the policy on simplifying the organizational structure within the Regional Secretariat of Bengkulu Province. Bureaucratic reform has become the government's main agenda in enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of governance. However, in its implementation, this policy faces various challenges such as resistance to change, the readiness of human resources, and its effectiveness in improving organizational performance. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study method through in-depth interviews and policy document analysis. The findings indicate that organizational structure simplification contributes to accelerating decision-making and increasing bureaucratic efficiency. However, the main challenges encountered include the lack of readiness among officials, changes in work patterns, and an imbalance in workload distribution. Therefore, strategic measures are needed to strengthen human resource capacity, establish clear technical guidelines, and enhance cross-unit coordination to achieve the effectiveness of this policy.
