Penegakan Disiplin di bagian perencanaan dan keuangan kantor Walikota Manado

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of work discipline and time management in the Planning and Finance Division of the Manado City Mayor's Office. The focus of this research is on analyzing the challenges faced in time management and its impact on employee productivity. Data was collected using a descriptive qualitative method with triangulation through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results of the study show that although most employees adhere to the discipline rules, challenges such as high workloads and suboptimal management of break times affect work efficiency. Employees often sacrifice their break time to complete urgent tasks, which potentially reduces the balance between work and personal life.

The impact of discipline enforcement through the attendance system and strict sanctions has improved employee compliance with working hours, but it has not fully addressed the inefficiencies in time management. This study recommends enhancing time management training, more equitable workload management, and the evaluation of break time policies to improve efficiency and employee well- being. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to improving the management system in the public sector.
