Challenges in Fostering Functional Positions After the Issuance of the Regulation of the
Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform Number 1 of 2023
Jurnal Indonesia Sosial Teknologi, Vol. 5, No. 7, July 2024 3065
The socialization carried out in various ways is a response as well as an effort to
counter the feedback received by the Secretariat General of the House of Representatives
of the Republic of Indonesia. It is a response as well as a countermeasure because the
findings during interaction with functional officials and user agencies are that there is a
knowledge gap. In user agencies, the findings that are often found are not understanding
the meaning of minutes, which has been understood as minutes, turn out to be more about
brief reports or meeting notes (Pusporini, 2024). This difference in knowledge is
homework for the supervisory agency, to maintain and improve the performance
standards of functional officials of the Legislative Peri. It is hoped that by continuing to
socialize or interact in other forms, it can make functional officials aware that there are
still differences in knowledge, and know the path to explore the information needed.
There is still a lack of knowledge about the functional positions that are being
occupied, which is one of the points that needs to be improved. This condition was then
added to the existence of new regulations for functional positions. One of the updates
contained in this new regulation is that the determination of credit scores is no longer
based on DUPAK but through the conversion of performance predicate values. This rule
has the potential to pose challenges that are not simple, both for the functional officials
concerned, user agencies, and functional position coaching agencies.
Discuss the challenges of this credit score determination system, will discuss first
the old credit determination system, namely by using DUPAK. In this era of using
DUPAK, the performance contract carried out by functional officials to the organization
is based on the items of functional position activities. Each functional officer makes a
performance contract by choosing what activity items he will carry out in that year, and
where these activity items have their credit scores. With the availability of a choice of
activities that can be contracted, the work of this functional official will be by the duties
and functions of the functional position he occupies. This is because the item of activity
is set specifically for a functional position, which means that it has been adjusted to the
duties and functions of the functional position. As a result, it is hoped that the quality of
the work of this functional position can be maintained because the possibility of doing
work outside of their duties will be small.
Different conditions were then faced with the issuance of PANRB Ministerial
Regulation Number 1 of 2023, which made the determination of credit scores no longer
based on DUPAK. In this new regulation, the determination of credit scores will be based
on the predicate of the results of the performance assessment of a functional official. This
condition is said to be a challenge in the management of functional positions.
On the other hand, the performance standards that are targeted are a challenge to
this system. The reason is that the preparation of targets in this performance contract only
involves functional officials concerned with their direct superiors. It needs to be ensured
that these two parties have knowledge of the scope of work that should be the work of the
functional position. If knowledge about this is inadequate, there is a potential that
functional officials will have performance targets that are not the responsibility of their
duties and functions. In the concept of human resource management, in principle, this
