ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate goal-setting characteristics in the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DGCE) using the XXX Customs Office as a sample. Document review related to Performance Management System (PMS) was examined, and in-depth interviews with employees in-charge are conducted for data collection. The result showed that goal-setting in DGCE partially had met quality goal characteristics in a way that the goals are specific and unambiguous. However, they are not challenging. Regarding participation, goals are mostly self-set at the staff level while they are more assigned at the supervisor level. From the employee perspective, goal-setting is sufficient to help them focus their effort and also set the work standard. This study also found that performance-related feedback is provided informally or maybe worse, it was neglected. This study provides an initial understanding of goal-setting practice in DGCE for further system development. One implication is to increase the number of mandatory KPIs for staff level.Keywords: Performance Management System, Goal-setting, Public sector, Indonesian Customs.ABSTRAK: Studi ini bertujuan untuk meneliti karakteristik sasaran kerja pegawai (SKP) atau indikator kinerja utama (IKU) pada Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai (DJBC) dengan sampel KPPBC XXX. Analisis terhadap dokumen terkait pengelolaan kinerja dan wawancara terhadap para pegawai yang bertanggung jawab atau mengetahui proses pengelolaan kinerja yang dilakukan. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa sasaran kinerja pegawai telah memenuhi kriteria, yaitu jelas dan tidak ambigu. Namun, SKP dan IKU masih kurang menantang. Terkait partisipasi, sasaran kinerja kebanyakan ditetapkan oleh masing-masing pegawai pada level pelaksana dan lebih banyak yang ditetapkan oleh organisasi pada level pengawas. Dari perpektif pegawai, penetapan SKP atau IKU telah efektif dalam hal membantu pegawai untuk fokus terhadap tujuan organisasi disamping memberikan standar atas penyelesaian pekerjaan. Terkait umpan balik diberikan secara informal atau malah lebih buruk, tidak diberikan sama sekali oleh atasan. Studi ini memberikan pemahaman pendahuluan atas proses penetapan sasaran kinerja di DJBC sebagai landasan dalam perbaikan sistem pengelolaan kinerja. Memperbanyak jumlah IKU mandatory bagi staf menjadi salah satu implikasi.Kata Kunci: Sistem Pengelolaan Kinerja, Penetapan Sasaran Kinerja, Sektor Publik, Bea Cukai.

Performance Measurement System (PMS) is essential for any organization, as it serves as guiding compass for continuous improvement. The research is a case study in a modular concrete company refining their current PMS using Balanced Score Card approach. The research developed Balanced Score Card starting from the whole company level, and then cascaded down into 3 main company activities, design, supply and construction. Measurement for 1st quarter of 2019 was done, and target and action plans for each activity were also set for the studied company

Purpose – This paper aims to consider how and to what extent it is possible to interpret a performance management system (PMS) as a typical control mechanism or in a more innovative way as a learning tool. PMSs are typically used for planning and coordination purposes. However, they may also be used as an opportunity to foster learning inside the organization. Design/methodology/approach – The empirical analysis was carried out during January-May 2014. A single case study was developed, in the first phase, through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with three top managers, to investigate the purpose and rationale of the design of the PMS. The investigation then continued with non-participant observation. Findings – The picture shows the dominance of “command and control” thinking, based on a cybernetic control system connected to targets and linking the achievement of these targets to individual performance. Practical implications – This paper helps to contextualize reflections on PMSs and potential learning outcomes in knowledge organizations, with specific reference to the airport industry. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the extant debate on the relationship between PMSs and learning. Traditionally, the literature has focused only on particular aspects of PMSs. Other authors, relying on a contingent approach, have instead put forward the need of a more comprehensive and integrated frameworks encompassing organic conception of PMSs, as well as of the interdependencies among their components. In the case study under scrutiny in this paper, adaptive or single-loop learning is taking place, in which adaptive changes occur but do not lead to any major changes.
