Kepemimpinan Lokal dan Tata Kelola Pemerintahan: Analisis Kecamatan Cibeunying Kidul, Bandung
Keywords:
Public Leadership, Governance, Sub-DistrictAbstract
Public leadership has long been viewed as a key factor in determining the quality of governance, particularly at the sub-district level, which directly addresses the needs of citizens. The urgency of this research lies in the increasing public demand for fast, transparent, and accountable services, making it interesting to examine how the sub-district head's leadership style contributes to the effectiveness of the local bureaucracy. Drawing on the theoretical framework of transformational, participatory, and situational leadership, this research employed a qualitative case study approach through interviews, observations, and thematically analyzed documentation. The results show that the sub-district head's leadership is relatively successful in integrating instruction, motivation, participation, and delegation, although still faced obstacles in the form of less transparent communication and less solid mutual trust. These findings underscore the importance of adaptive and responsive leadership as prerequisites for strengthening effective local governance.
Kepemimpinan publik sejak lama dipandang sebagai faktor kunci dalam menentukan kualitas tata kelola pemerintahan, terlebih pada level kecamatan yang langsung bersentuhan dengan kebutuhan warga. Urgensi penelitian ini terletak pada semakin mendesaknya tuntutan masyarakat terhadap pelayanan yang cepat, transparan, dan akuntabel, sehingga menarik untuk menelaah bagaimana gaya kepemimpinan camat berkontribusi pada efektivitas birokrasi lokal. Dengan bertumpu pada kerangka teori kepemimpinan transformasional, partisipatif, dan situasional, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif studi kasus melalui wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi yang dianalisis secara tematik. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa kepemimpinan camat relatif berhasil memadukan instruksi, motivasi, partisipasi, dan pendelegasian, meskipun masih dihadapkan pada hambatan berupa komunikasi yang kurang terbuka serta kepercayaan timbal balik yang belum kokoh. Temuan ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya kepemimpinan yang adaptif dan responsif sebagai prasyarat untuk memperkuat tata kelola pemerintahan lokal yang efektif.
