Dimensions of Effectiveness in Organizing Archives at the Office of the Ministry of Religion of South Sulawesi Province

Abstract

Effectiveness is the main reason modern offices manage records using electronic filing systems. This study focuses on elements of archival governance at the Office of the Ministry of Religion of South Sulawesi Province by looking at the effectiveness element. A qualitative research model with a case study method is used in this research. Data sources were obtained from interviews with informants selected according to research needs and to support primary data. The necessary document studies were also used: data analysis through data collection, reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. This study found clear SOPs for managing archives at the Office of the Ministry of Religion of South Sulawesi Province. However, the arrangement of archives was still carried out without being guided by existing regulations. At the Hindu Pembimas, archive shrinkage has never been carried out, and there has been no special guidance in managing archives. This is caused by a lack of support from the leadership and weak supervision of employees who do archive work. Support from the leadership is needed to realize a comprehensive and integrated national archive management system.
