Abstract

In an effort to provide quality services to the community, the local government mostly needs the apparatus resources that have good competency and performance as well as professionals in the field of government administration. As a matter of fact, the civil servants in their structural positions have not met the stipulated position, so there are still positions, as well as placements that are not in accordance with their competencies. This then has implications for the performance and achievement of organizational goals that are less than optimal. For this reason, the aim of this research is to describe the implementation of structural/managerial competency standard in public sector, particularly in local government. This research applies the descriptive qualitative method. The results indicate that the incompatibility of civil servant competencies with the position carried out because the occupational competency standard has not been made as minimum managerial competency requirements that must be owned by a civil servant in carrying out the job duties. Managerial competency is soft competency which includes aspects of knowledge, skills and attitudes according to the duties and/or functions of the position. The procedures for preparing managerial competency standards include the stages, namely data collection, identification of managerial competencies, compilation of temporary lists and validation of managerial competencies.
