Abstract

At the beginning of 2021, the government, through the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, issued a new policy, namely the Regulation of the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Number 17 of 2021 concerning the Equalization of Administrative Positions into Functional Positions. The simplification of bureaucracy through the equalization of positions represents a very fundamental change in the structure of local government, including in Purwakarta Regency. This change is expected not only to have a positive impact on the performance of newly appointed functional officials but also to contribute positively to the performance of the organization. This aligns with the initial spirit of bureaucratic simplification aimed at creating a dynamic, agile, and professional bureaucracy in support of public service performance.
