The Effect of Position Equalization Policy Implementation on Employee Job Satisfaction

Abstract

Bureaucracy is often seen as an obstacle, a burden, and all negative things related to public services. The government through the regulation of the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform Number 28 of 2019 concerning Equalization of Administrative Positions into Functional Positions seeks to overcome bureaucratic problems by trimming the hierarchy and level of office in making a decision. The aim is to examine the effect of the implementation of the equalization policy on administrative positions on employee job satisfaction. This study uses a quantitative approach with data collection methods through a questionnaire instrument. The results showed that 65.5% or 79 people felt that there was an effect of the implementation of the policy of equalizing administrative positions into functional positions on employee job satisfaction, while the remaining 34.5% or 41 people thought otherwise.
