Human Resources Professionalism in Public Administration: Efforts to Achieve Good Governance and Organizational Performance Improvement in the Era of Bureaucratic Reform

Abstract

This study highlights the significance of professionalism in human resources within public administration to achieve good governance and improve employee and organizational performance. The research methodology used was library research, involving text and discourse analysis to gather data from relevant literature on the topic. The study’s findings indicate that the implementation of good governance in government bureaucracy is crucial for enhancing both employee and organizational performance. To achieve this, professionalism in human resources within public administration is essential, and the North Kalimantan government has adopted an alternative technocratic concept to support it. This concept emphasizes professional orientations and expertise. To develop the capacity of public servants, the North Kalimantan government has initiated a capacity-building program in collaboration with various universities in Indonesia. The program targets three domains and levels: individual, organizational, and strategic policy systems. Leadership plays a critical role in the success of the capacity-building program.
