Abstract

This research aims to examine the implementation of the acceptance policy for Government Employees with a Work Agreement (PPPK) for honorary teachers at the Palembang City Education Office. The background of this research is the important role of state civil apparatus (ASN) in the success of government organizations, which requires professional ASN management. The policy of appointing honorary teachers through PPPK is a strategic step to meet the shortage of teachers and an alternative to ASN appointment. This research aims to describe and analyze the implementation of PPPK policies, the obstacles faced, and the solutions taken. The research method used is qualitative with a naturalistic approach. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the research are expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to local governments, education offices, and honorary teachers.
