IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICY OF PROCUREMENT OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WITH WORK AGREEMENTS (PPPK) IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF SMPN 8 BATHIN SOLAPAN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the procurement policy for Government Employees with Employment Agreements (PPPK) within SMPN 8 Bathin Solapan. The background of this research departs from the need to improve teacher professionalism and the equal distribution of educators which is still not optimal. The research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation, as well as data validation using triangulation. The results of the study show that the implementation of PPPK policies in general is going well, especially from the aspects of coordination and communication between agencies that support the effectiveness of implementation. This policy has a positive impact on teacher motivation, professionalism, and welfare. However, there are still obstacles such as the mismatch between the field of study and the subjects taught and the inequality of the distribution of teachers between subjects. It is necessary to evaluate the recruitment and placement mechanism of PPPK personnel to be more in line with the professional competence of teachers. Overall, PPPK policies have the potential to improve the quality of human resources in the education sector through equity, transparency, and improvement of educator welfare.
