Inequality in Human Resource Distribution within Public Organizations: A Full-Time Equivalent Approach at the Bojonegoro Regency Bawaslu Secretariat

This study aims to analyze inequality in human resource distribution within public organizations using the Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) approach at the Secretariat of the General Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) of Bojonegoro Regency. The study employs a quantitative descriptive approach to measure the actual workload of personnel based on work activities and the time required to complete tasks annually. FTE values are calculated by comparing total annual workload with annual effective working time of 1,250 hours. The results indicate substantial differences in workload among positions, reflecting inequality in human resource distribution. The highest FTE values were 4.34, 3.35, 3.35, 1.97, and 1.91, indicating excessive workloads (overload) and an imbalance between workload and available human resources. Meanwhile, several positions had FTE values within or close to the normal range, indicating relatively balanced workloads. These findings demonstrate that human resource inequality is influenced not only by the number of personnel but also by the uneven distribution of workload across organizational positions. The FTE approach provides an objective basis for identifying workload disparities and determining appropriate human resource allocation. Optimization can be achieved through task redistribution, functional realignment, staffing adjustments, and periodic workload evaluation. The study confirms that FTE analysis can support more equitable, effective, and efficient human resource distribution in public organizations.
