This study presents an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the performance of employees within the Secretariat of the General Election Commission (KPU) of Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province, in welcoming and implementing a series of stages of the General Election (Pemilu) and Regional Head Election (Pilkada) in 2024. This study dissects the dimensions of work quality, quantity, timeliness, and discipline of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and supporting staff amidst two waves of major crises ("twin shocks"): security instability following the mass riots of September 2023 that paralyzed the regional government center, and legal-administrative pressure due to the Constitutional Court Decision mandating a Revote (PSU) for the Gorontalo Provincial DPRD Electoral District 6. The main findings indicate that the KPU of Pohuwato Regency demonstrated a high level of bureaucratic resilience, evidenced by the success of maintaining the continuity of the election stages without incidents of logistical failures, the success of defending administrative arguments in disputes over results at the Constitutional Court, and the safe execution of the PSU. However, the analysis also highlights the vulnerability of ad hoc human resource management to fatigue and the challenges of maintaining voter turnout amid post-conflict apathy.

Komunikasi Organisasi di Tengah Kompleksitas Sistem Birokrasi

2026-01-14T10:23:25+07:00

An organization is a structured system consisting of individuals who work together and collaboratively to achieve common goals and objectives. Work processes within an organization are based on authority, based on a clear division of labor, thus creating roles appropriate to their respective duties. In this context, the organization serves as a medium for carrying out managerial functions while simultaneously managing material and human resources in a coordinated manner, in accordance with the established formal division of tasks and authority. The concept of bureaucracy is based on legal legitimacy, not traditional authority or personal charisma. The characteristics of this system include a specific division of labor, structured with a clear hierarchy. However, the discourse on bureaucracy is always interesting to study, given its vital role in governance. On the one hand, bureaucracy is an institution that is indispensable to society, but on the other hand, it is often labeled as slow and cumbersome. Many people are reluctant to deal with bureaucracy because it is considered complicated and burdensome. This complex issue of Weberian organizations has given rise to the central role of organizational communication, which is needed as an effort to maintain the effective and efficient function and role of bureaucracy in society. The relationship between the discipline of communication and organizational structure, particularly within the Weberian model, lies in its focus on the interactions between individuals in achieving the institution's goals. Communication science focuses on the forms of communication implemented within organizations, the methods and techniques used, the media utilized, the message delivery process, and the obstacles that may arise in that communication process.

The dominance of vertical housing in Moscow often raises questions, especially when compared to Russia's vast land availability. This article analyzes why Moscow is dominated by high-rise buildings and minimal landed housing, such as bungalows or terraced houses. Using an urban political economy approach and historical-institutional analysis, the article shows that the pattern of vertical housing in Moscow is a result of the legacy of Soviet-era housing policies, political-economic centralization, land ownership regimes, and post-Soviet urban development strategies. The study argues that the limitation of horizontal housing in Moscow is not a matter of national land availability but rather a matter of spatial politics, the logic of state power, and the dynamics of Russian state capitalism. These findings contribute to the comparative study of non-Western urban development and offer new perspectives on housing in post-socialist countries.

Dinamika Konflik Politik di Desa: Proses dan Dampaknya terhadap Tata Kelola Pemerintahan

Villages in the post-decentralization era have evolved into dynamic arenas of local politics alongside the expansion of village governance authority. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of political conflict in villages and its impact on village governance. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted in Kuluran Village, Kalitengah Subdistrict, Lamongan Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and were analyzed interactively. The findings indicate that political conflict in villages is rooted in post–village head election contestation of interests, reinforced by patronage relations, unmet political expectations, and weak reconciliation mechanisms. The conflict develops from differences in policy perspectives into escalating tensions among village political actors, resulting in delays in policy decision-making, declining quality of public services, and weakened community participation. This study underscores the importance of managing village political conflict through institutional and participatory mechanisms to support democratic village governance.
