This study evaluates the implementation of the Job Analysis (Anjab) policy at the Provincial General Elections Commission (KPU) of East Java using William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation model. The purpose of this research is to assess the extent to which the Anjab policy has been effective, efficient, adequate, equitable, responsive, and appropriate in supporting human resource management within the Provincial KPU. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews with personnel in the Subdivision of Personnel, observations, and document analysis of relevant regulations and internal documents. The evaluation shows that the implementation of Anjab within the KPU has not been optimal, as the Anjab documents have not been updated regularly, the job map remains generic and nationally standardized, there is no dedicated team responsible for Anjab management, and personnel’s understanding of Anjab remains limited. These conditions result in discrepancies between job descriptions and actual tasks performed, disproportionate task distribution, and low utilization of Anjab in human resource structuring. Consequently, the policy has not been fully effective, efficient, responsive, or well-targeted. Key recommendations include establishing an Anjab implementation team, providing technical training, developing an institution-specific job map, and conducting regular document updates

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Sidoarjo Regent Regulation Number 69 of 2017 concerning the Civil Servant Code of Ethics in the Family Planning Sector at the Sidoarjo Regency Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Family Planning Office. A qualitative approach with a case study was used to explore the implementation of the policy through interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis was conducted using William Dunn's six policy evaluation indicators, namely effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results show that the policy has provided clear behavioral guidelines and is applied evenly in the work environment. However, the effectiveness and efficiency of implementation are not optimal due to disciplinary violations, weak supervision, and unstructured communication between superiors. The aspects of adequacy and accuracy are considered relevant to the needs of the organization, but have not been able to fully overcome obstacles such as high workloads and low internalization of ethical values ​​among employees. In general, this policy contributes to shaping the professionalism of civil servants, but still requires strengthening through continuous supervision and more systematic coaching. The originality of the study lies in the use of Dunn's evaluation model in the context of the implementation of the civil servant code of ethics at the regional level, as well as identifying gaps between normative policies and field practices. These findings confirm that the success of a code of ethics depends heavily on organizational communication, work culture, and consistency of oversight.

This study aims to analyze the strategic management of disaster services in handling flood-affected communities in Surabaya City. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with an analytical framework of strategic management theory according to Wheelen and Hunger (2008), which includes four main stages: environmental observation, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation and control. Data were obtained through documentation studies, field observations, and secondary data searches from official reports from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and relevant online sources. The results show that the BPBD of East Java Province has implemented a systematic strategic management cycle in disaster services. During the environmental observation stage, the BPBD was able to identify the main threat in the form of the dominance of hydrometeorological disasters, particularly floods. During the strategy formulation stage, the BPBD established a mission, objectives, and strategic policies focused on disaster risk reduction, increasing community preparedness, and strengthening cross-sectoral coordination. Strategy implementation is realized through mitigation, preparedness, and emergency response programs, as well as the utilization of early warning systems and command centers. Meanwhile, evaluation and control are carried out continuously through monitoring disaster events and adjusting policies based on actual conditions in the field. The flood-affected community management strategy demonstrates a responsive and collaborative approach, despite still facing structural challenges such as tidal flooding and limited drainage infrastructure. This study concludes that implementing strategic management based on the theory of Wheelen and Hunger (2008) can improve the effectiveness of disaster services, but requires strengthening long-term mitigation and community empowerment.

Almost all formal workers dedicate all their time and energy to their companies during their productive years. As a result, it is very difficult for workers to start other businesses besides their formal jobs. Without the skills and strategies for entrepreneurship, many workers find it difficult to survive when they reach retirement age. From a sustainable human resource management perspective, the retirement preparation period (MPP) is a strategic phase for maintaining the social welfare of employees and taking preventive measures to address post-retirement social issues such as decreased productivity, economic dependence, and individual social roles. For employees who will enter retirement age in the next two years, PT. Sindopex Perotama regularly conducts MPP training. This year, the MPP training was themed “food security to achieve food self-sufficiency in retirement.” PT. Sindopex Perotama collaborated with LS Farm, Trawas Eduwisata Center (TEC), and a team from KH. A. Wahab Hasbullah University (UNWAHA) Jombang as part of the Tridharma community service program. This activity was achieved by applying the results of evaluations from observations of previous activities so that it was on target through proper planning (identifying needs in collaboration with partners), implementing activities, and providing direct assistance at the activity location. This program is expected to bring about social change, such as greater social welfare for employees approaching retirement age, greater economic independence in terms of food, and greater awareness of the role of retirees in maintaining food availability and social harmony in their neighborhoods. In addition, this program demonstrates sustainable human resource management practices in companies that care about the welfare of their employees until they retire.

Skin aging is a natural process that cannot be avoided, but it can be slowed down through proper skin care. The use of natural face masks is one of the safe, affordable, and relatively non-invasive treatment alternatives without long-term side effects. The bandotan plant (Ageratum conyzoides L.) is a weed that grows wild in the Cemani Village area, Sukoharjo Regency. Although often considered worthless, this plant actually contains active compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins that have the potential to be antioxidants. Therefore, this service activity aims to provide counseling and training to the people of Cemani Village regarding the manufacture of face masks made from bandotan plants. This program is carried out with several procedural stages, starting from the interpretation of problems on the land, followed by the preparation of the timeline for the implementation of activities, then counseling and ending with a workshop session on the procedure for making antiaging masks for bandotan herbs. The program ended with an assessment of the evaluation of the activities. This activity was attended by 20 participants of the Cemani village PKK mobilization team. Based on the pretest and posttest scores, there was an increase in public knowledge about the program carried out with an average of 80 pretests and an increase in the average percentage of posttest scores up to 95.83. In the assessment of the questionnaire, public satisfaction with the implementation of the activity was classified as very satisfied with a score of 92.67.

Public service quality plays a crucial role in ensuring that social assistance is delivered effectively to vulnerable communities. This study aims to analyze the quality of public services in the distribution of social assistance by the Social Service Office of Kerinci Regency and to identify improvement efforts undertaken by the institution. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Informants consisted of Social Service officials, social facilitators, and beneficiary communities. Service quality analysis was conducted using the SERVQUAL dimensions: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The findings indicate that the social assistance distribution service in Kerinci Regency is generally adequate, particularly in the assurance and empathy dimensions. Beneficiaries feel that services are delivered fairly, transparently, and without discrimination. However, obstacles remain in the tangible, reliability, and responsiveness aspects, including limited service facilities, inaccurate beneficiary data due to incomplete DTKS updates, and delays in assistance distribution in remote areas caused by geographical constraints. To address these challenges, the Social Service Office has implemented periodic data validation, strengthened coordination with village administrations, and optimized digital-based social service information systems. This study provides empirical evidence that can serve as an evaluation reference for local governments in improving transparent, effective, and equitable social assistance services.

The house renovation program is one of the government's efforts to improve the quality of housing for low-income people. However, the process of selecting recipients of home surgery assistance is often faced with obstacles in determining the right and fair priorities for recipients. Therefore, this study aims to design and implement a home surgery decision-making system at the Housing, Residential Areas, and Land Office using the Weight Product (WP) method. The WP method was chosen because of its ability to conduct an objective assessment of various relevant criteria, such as the condition of the house, ownership status, level of welfare, and socioeconomic needs of the recipient. This system will give weight to each criterion used to determine the priority of home surgical assistance for residents in need. In its implementation, this system is able to process data from various prospective recipients and produce an automatic and transparent order of priority recipients. The results of the evaluation show that this system can improve efficiency and accuracy in the decision-making process, as well as assist the Housing Office in implementing the house renovation program more on target. With this system, it is hoped that the home renovation program can provide greater benefits to people in need, as well as accelerate the implementation of better housing programs.
