The Implementation of Good Governance Principles in the Asset Management of Regional-Owned Enterprises of South Sulawesi Province

Abstract

At the local government level, activities related to regional autonomy and decentralization go beyond merely implementing financial decentralization from the Central Government to Local Governments or Local Governments to Local Government Work Units (SKPD). It also includes the decentralization of asset management at the regional business unit level. The Regional State-Owned Enterprise (Perseroda) of South Sulawesi Province, as one of the units of Regional-Owned Enterprises, requires proper governance to promote regional autonomy and optimize regional revenue. Therefore, it is crucial to implement good governance principles to ensure accountable financial and asset management, which represents a government’s success in providing public services. The implementation of good governance principles includes accountable, transparent, and law-abiding asset management. This study aims to analyze the application of the values and principles of good governance in asset management within the Perseroda of South Sulawesi Province. The study adopts a qualitative approach, and data are collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The data analysis technique is an interactive model, with data validity tested through triangulation. The results indicate that the application of values and principles of good governance in asset management still needs improvement due to constraints related to the quality of human resources and the adoption of technology in asset management. Efforts to enhance the quality of human resources, employee motivation, socialization, and control mechanisms for implementing good corporate governance must be optimized, with the aim of integrating these principles and values within the body of Perseroda in South Sulawesi Province.
