Administrasi Publik dan Tantangan Reformasi Birokrasi di Indonesia

Abstract

_{Bureaucratic reform is a strategic agenda in the public administration system aimed at improving governmental performance and the quality of public services. However, the implementation of bureaucratic reform in Indonesia continues to face complex and multidimensional challenges. This study aims to comprehensively examine the challenges of bureaucratic reform from a public administration perspective through a literature review approach. The research employs a qualitative method based on a literature study of public administration textbooks, national and international journal articles, and relevant policy documents. Data were analyzed using content analysis to identify and synthesize key themes related to bureaucratic reform. The findings indicate that the challenges of bureaucratic reform consist of four main dimensions: structural, managerial, cultural, and institutional. Structural challenges are reflected in hierarchical organizational designs and regulatory complexity. Managerial challenges relate to weak performance management systems and human resource management practices. From a cultural perspective, formalistic and change-resistant bureaucratic cultures remain a dominant obstacle, while institutional challenges highlight the importance of policy consistency and public leadership. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach that synthesizes multiple dimensions of bureaucratic reform challenges within a comprehensive public administration framework.}
