Abstract

The Pekalongan Regency Regional Secretariat Office is a very vital government agency because it has the task of assisting the Regent in formulating policies and administrative coordination for the implementation of regional apparatus duties and administrative services. With this task, SETDA is the "Qibla" for other regional apparatus organizations in the Pekalongan Regency Government. However, what happened was that several employees at the Regional Secretariat Office actually committed violations that today are called bureaucratic pathologies. This research uses a qualitative descriptive research type. Descriptive understanding is a discussion in the form of exposure to words and language, in a special natural context and by utilizing various natural methods. Qualitative research is research that intends to understand the phenomenon of what is experienced by research subjects. The purpose of this study was to find out about the procedures for providing grants and social assistance sourced from the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget of Pekalongan Regency, namely to find out the procedures or stages of applying for grants and social assistance, knowing local government policies and regulations and their implementation The results of this study indicate the existence of bureaucratic pathology in the activities of grant services and social assistance in the welfare division of the Pekalongan regional secretariat. Guidelines for the management of grants and social assistance sourced from the regional income and expenditure budget as outlined in the district head's regulations seem to have been ignored. In this study, the types of pathology that occur are explained. Most types of pathology that occur are caused by the bureaucracy itself. Bureaucratic culture since ancient times has not been able to be changed by the bureaucracy itself. In carrying out daily tasks, many of the bureaucracy have not been maximal in carrying it out, especially bureaucracy related to service. A paradigm shift is still very much needed within the bureaucracy itself. Efforts to overcome it are still not optimal, the support and commitment of the leadership is the main thing to change the existing bureaucratic paradigm.
