Facilitative Leadership in Managing and Empowering Street Vendors in Tasikmalaya City

Abstract

The paradigm for structuring street vendors is not to eliminate the existence of small businesses which are a real form of people's economy. Paradigm change as a burden is transformed into an asset. In its implementation, it does not follow the guidelines for structuring and empowering street vendors. This research aims to examine and analyze the factors of facilitative leadership in the contingency model of collaborative governance by elaborating on collaborative governance that brings together and directs stakeholders and the private sector in structuring street vendors (PKL). The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with case study methods and data collection techniques using literature studies, interviews, observations, FGDs, and triangulation. The research results found that the need for an "Executor" Leader according to experts is that collaborative abilities are very important for Execution. Facilitative Leadership has a very important role in the Initial Conditions dimension. The new findings in this research place elements of the leader's background together with power asymmetries and a history of cooperation/conflict as a basis that can hinder or support the collaborative process that is built. Facilitative leadership has a very important role in the institutional design dimension.
