Abstract

Job rotation is one of the employee development activities that aims to improve and maintain employee performance. Implementation of job rotation policies in the public sector in Indonesia experiences various challenges, including bureaucratic characteristics that prioritize compliance so that job rotations are associated as punishment and political factors that cause job rotations to be exploited by certain parties for their interests. Based on the phenomenon, this exploratory research seeks to explore the perspective of civil servants (PNS) in interpreting the job rotation policy. The findings in this research illustrate that job rotation policy is a dispersion that produces various spectrums. Job rotation has a pliable nature and paradoxical benefits indicate that the job rotation policy has not been implemented consistently across multiple government agencies. The five main perspectives in this research provide an overview of the contradictory perspectives of civil servants. Some civil servants think that job rotations have a positive impact, while others think otherwise. These contradictions show the richness of information and a wide variety of answers and show that job rotation policies are pliable and have paradoxical benefits.
