Each Working Unit Needs to Have “a Role Model”
Not only the buildings and court services that need the role models, but human resources in the judiciary also need role models.
This was insisted by Director General of Badilag, Wahyu Widiana on several occasions when socializing and supervising the preparation to welcome the Quality Assurance Team.
"Every court should have a role model, he or she should not be an official. The most important one is the role model should really be able to be an example for others," Director General of Badilag said.
A role model is defined as the person who serves as an example, whose behavior is emulated by others". Thus, the role model is someone who set an example, his or her behavior is followed by others. In the language of religion, the role model is equivalent to uswatun hasanah which means a good example.
Referring to the Regulation of Minister of the State Apparatus Empowerment No. 53 of 2011 on the Guidelines for Quality Assurance and Guidelines for Monitoring and Evaluation of Bureaucracy Reforms, the role model is the agent of change.
. In an organization, as often asserted by DG of Badilag, the commitment and example of the leaders are of the most important factors to change the behavior and working culture. In addition to having authority to give instructions, the leaders of the organization can also invest the positive values to their subordinates through their daily behavior. Therefore, the leaders of the courts are expected to be the role models for whom they lead.
By being a role model, a leader has one or a few prominent and consistent aspects that he or she tries to promote to the employees in every occasion. Therefore, in addition to be the source of inspiration, the role model is also a motivator for his and her subordinates.
Three role models in Badilag
Badilag also has role models in the field of behavioral development and working culture. Through a decree, DG of Badilag set three officials of echelon II as role models.
They are Drs. Purwosusilo, SH., MH, (the Director of the Development of Judicial Staffs), Drs. H. Farid Ismail, SH., MH. (the Secretary of Directorate General of Badilag), and Drs. H. MS Hidayatullah, MH (Director of Civil Religious Case Management).
The three officials are the role models for three different aspects. Purwosusilo is set to be the role model for the development of professionalism, Farid Ismail is set to be the role model for the integrity enhancement, and Hidayatullah MS to be a role model for the increase of honesty.
