Analysis of the Effectiveness of the Implementation of Government Regulation Number 94 of 2021 concerning Civil Servant Discipline in the Sentencing Process: A Case Study in East Lombok Regency

Abstract

The effectiveness of implementing Government Regulation Number 94 of 2021 concerning Civil Servant Discipline in the sentencing process remains a critical issue in public administration. This study analyzes the application of disciplinary actions against civil servants in East Lombok Regency, focusing on legal frameworks, enforcement mechanisms, and the challenges local government institutions face. Using an empirical legal research approach, the study examines case data from 2022 to 2024 and explores the role of government agencies in ensuring compliance with disciplinary regulations. The findings indicate that while the new regulation has introduced stricter enforcement mechanisms, several challenges persist, including limited understanding of the regulation among officials, procedural inconsistencies, and resistance to disciplinary actions. The study concludes that strengthening legal awareness, improving enforcement consistency, and fostering a culture of accountability is essential for enhancing the effectiveness of civil servant discipline. These findings contribute to ongoing discussions on bureaucratic reform and the professionalization of civil servants in Indonesia.
