Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the merit system from the perspective of Law Number 20 of 2023 concerning the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) within the Personnel and Human Resources Development Agency (BKPSDM) of Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. The study aims to analyze the extent to which the merit system policy has been implemented and to identify factors influencing its implementation. This research employs a socio-legal (empirical legal) approach with a qualitative method, combining normative analysis of statutory regulations with empirical data obtained through field research, including interviews and document studies. The findings indicate that the implementation of the merit system at BKPSDM Muna has not been fully optimal, as the eight indicators of merit system assessment mandated by law have not been comprehensively fulfilled. Several factors contribute to this condition, including: (1) the legal substance, which has not yet fully ensured binding and enforceable obligations for merit system implementation; (2) the institutional structure of the ASN, which still faces limitations in conducting objective and independent assessments; (3) a weak legal culture reflected in limited understanding of the merit system among stakeholders; and (4) inadequate supporting facilities and infrastructure. This study recommends strengthening implementing regulations derived from Law Number 20 of 2023, enhancing institutional capacity, and intensifying socialization and education regarding merit system assessment mechanisms. These measures are necessary to ensure that the merit system is implemented more effectively, transparently, and in accordance with the principles of professionalism and fairness mandated by law.
