Moreover, this study uses a case study in DKI Jakarta Province as a local government which is also the capital of the Republic of Indonesia. This study found that the policy implementation of the merit system in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is still not fully implemented. Some aspects have gaps, namely career development, promotion, and rotation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to review the policy implementation of the merit system in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.
