Development Agency of Pancasila Ideology Policy Evaluation and Structural Design

This research examines the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP’s) bureaucratic simplification process. Bureaucratic simplification has eliminated Echelons III and IV by altering their functions. The policy impacts broadly on organizational structure, design changes, performance, personnel, and the workplace. The study used a mixed method with a focus on qualitative approaches. Interviews, observations, questionnaires, and source triangulation were used to collect data and evaluate its validity. The research findings from the CIPP dimension show that the bureaucratic simplification agenda are still not performing well. It is acknowledged that some indicators related to its adoption are yet to produce favorable results. It is concerned with changes in the work system that each work unit has not fully recognized and adjusted. As a result, it is critical to strengthen the work system by formalizing the squad team system, increasing productivity, and establishing a clear division of tasks and authority among deputies, directorates, and functional groups. Deputies and directors encounter difficulties, in overseeing and directly managing job completion in functional roles since the middle line previously occupied by the head of the sub directorate and the head of the section has been eliminated. Furthermore, structural changes are required to shift the structural function of general administration from the Main Secretariat Unit to the Deputies and Directors in BPIP. It indicates that the functionalization and simplicity of bureaucracy still need organizational structures.
