A Review of Siyasah Idariyah on the Effectiveness of Fingerprint Attendance Systems in Enhancing Civil Servant Discipline at the Kesbangpol Office of Bengkulu Province

Abstract

This research addresses two main issues: 1) The effectiveness of the fingerprint attendance system in improving the discipline of civil servants at Kesbangpol Bengkulu Province, and 2) The siyasah idariyah review of the effectiveness of the fingerprint attendance system. The purpose of this research is to evaluate how effective the fingerprint attendance system is in improving employee discipline and assess its effectiveness from the perspective of siyasah idariyah. The method used is qualitative with an empirical legal approach, through interviews with the Head of the Secretariat and one of the Kesbangpol employees. The results show that the fingerprint attendance policy is effective in improving employee discipline, with a decrease in the percentage of tardiness, early departure, and absenteeism from 2021 to 2023. However, some employees are still late or do not take attendance. There is no tolerance for lateness and sanctions are applied to employees who are late. Overall, employee discipline at Kesbangpol Bengkulu is good and in accordance with the principles of siyasah idariyah, which aims to achieve effective and efficient governance. This research provides empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of the fingerprint attendance system and its relevance to the principles of siyasah idariyah.
