This study explores the challenges and obstacles encountered during the implementation of bureaucracy simplification, with a focus on its impact on organizational performance and employee morale. The objective of this research is to analyze the implementation of the bureaucracy simplification policy in the Secretariat General of the Regional Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia (Setjen DPD RI) in supporting bureaucratic reform. The methodological approach employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, with secondary data obtained from official documents, performance reports, and news articles. The research findings indicate that, despite the implementation of various simplification policies by Setjen DPD RI, including organizational structure streamlining and position equalization, the implementation process continues to encounter challenges, particularly pertaining to the lack of preparation among some employees and skepticism regarding the perceived benefits of the changes. It is imperative that Setjen DPD RI prioritize the enhancement of employees' competencies through comprehensive training programs and the establishment of effective communication channels to elucidate the advantages inherent in this policy. Additionally, the promotion of cultural transformation through the adoption of technological innovations and the fostering of flexibility is crucial for the effective functioning of the organization.References
