The Bandung City Council assesses that, based on the realities on the\nground, the performance of Civil Servants (ASN) still needs improvement.\nTherefore, an evaluation is required to realise professional and\nintegrity-based government governance.<\/p>\n
Some ASN are assessed as still working to minimum standards, with\nminimal innovation and not yet demonstrating maximum public service\nspirit. This includes the emergence of issues surrounding job auctions,\nwhich are believed to require comprehensive evaluation to avoid\nundermining the principles of meritocracy in the bureaucracy.<\/p>\n
In the context of social justice, the situation becomes increasingly\nrelevant to highlight when compared to cleaning staff (gober), waste\nsorters (gaslah), and honorary teachers. With average incomes of around\nRp1.25 million, or even hundreds of thousands of rupiah for honorary\nteachers in some educational institutions, they still bear significant\nworkloads and responsibilities, and play important roles in public\nservices.<\/p>\n
For the Bandung City Council, this comparison reveals disparities\nthat must be addressed. In principle of justice and proportionality,\ndifferences in welfare levels should align with performance,\nresponsibilities, and real contributions to society.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, ASN who receive relatively larger salaries and allowances\nare demanded to demonstrate professionalism, optimal performance, and\nhigh integrity as a form of moral and institutional accountability to\nthe public,\u201d stated the Bandung DPRD in an official release.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the Bandung City Council also highlights the\nefficiency policy through the Work From Home (WFH) scheme implemented by\nthe West Java Provincial Government (Pemprov Jabar), such as a four-day\noffice work pattern and two days WFH. If not balanced with supervision\nand clear performance indicators, this policy is said to potentially\nlower the public service spirit.<\/p>\n
The Bandung City Council hopes that the WFH policy will not be\nimplemented in Bandung City, but instead prioritises optimal ASN\npresence in providing services to the community.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the Bandung City Council acknowledges that many ASN\ndemonstrate good performance and are capable of introducing innovations.\nThis serves as a positive example that needs to be emulated to create a\nproductive and competitive work environment among ASN.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the process of filling positions through the job auction\nmechanism is encouraged to be evaluated by the government to involve the\nDPRD more, particularly Commission I, in providing constitutionally\nvalid input in accordance with meritocracy principles.<\/p>\n
The Bandung City Council reminds that the involvement of the\nlegislative institution is important to maintain transparency and\naccountability in the bureaucracy.<\/p>\n
With relatively large salaries and allowances, ASN are expected to\ndemonstrate commensurate performance oriented towards public services.\nThe momentum of Eid al-Fitr is hoped to serve as a reflection for all\nASN, both civil servants (PNS) and government employees with work\nagreements (P3K), to increase motivation, integrity, and dedication\nspirit.<\/p>\n
In the future, improving ASN performance must become the top priority\nto realise a professional, responsive government oriented towards public\ninterests, while also promoting a sense of justice for all elements of\nthe workforce contributing to public services.<\/p>\n
In accordance with Law No.\u00a020 of 2023 on Civil Servants, ASN is\nrecorded as a profession consisting of Civil Servants (PNS) and\nGovernment Employees with Work Agreements (P3K), either full-time or\npart-time, who have strategic roles in government administration.<\/p>\n
The ASN arrangement policy, including the elimination of non-ASN\npersonnel who have previously assisted government tasks, is directed\ntowards creating a more structured and professional work system. This\nstep is expected to improve the performance of PNS and P3K, so that\npublic services become more optimal.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bandung-city-council-urges-evaluation-of-civil-servants-performance-to-enhance-professionalism-1774777874", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
