The Role of Mutations and Promotions on the Performance of Government Employees in Islamic University’s Environment

Abstract

This research aims to determine the process of implementing transfers and promotions and their role in improving performance at UIN Imam Bonjol Padang. It addresses obstacles encountered and mitigation strategies. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, primary and secondary data were collected from employees and related agencies. Qualitative methods were used for data analysis. The research results show that the transfer and promotion processes carried out are by following the institutional SOP. Transfers are carried out based on suitability between ASN employee competencies and position requirements, position classification, and career patterns, taking into account the principle of prohibiting conflicts of interest. Meanwhile, one of the job promotion processes begins with a Competency Assessment. The transfer and promotion process plays a role in improving performance by achieving institutional work targets. There are still obstacles in the transfer and promotion process within UIN Imam Bonjol Padang. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that organizations continue to improve employee capabilities through skills training provided periodically. For this reason, it is necessary to allocate funds from institutions to develop quality human resources for the future progress of UIN Imam Bonjol
