AUDIT MANAJEMEN FUNGSI SUMBER DAYA MANUSIA DALAM MENILAI EFEKTIVITAS PENGELOLAAN SDM PADA DINAS PERINDUSTRIAN KOTA SEMARANG

Abstract

Human resources (HR) play a strategic role in achieving organizational objectives, particularly in public sector institutions that are responsible for delivering effective and accountable public services. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of human resource management functions at Dinas Perindustrian Kota Semarang using a management audit approach. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and questionnaires. The management audit consisted of four stages: preliminary audit, management control review and testing, detailed audit, and reporting. The findings show that eleven HR management functions have been implemented. Five functions were found to be effective, while six functions, including human resource planning, selection, orientation and placement, training and development, performance appraisal, and career development, require improvement. The study concludes that strengthening workforce planning, competency-based development, objective performance evaluation, and systematic career management is essential to enhance organizational effectiveness. Furthermore, management audits provide an effective tool for evaluating and improving HR governance in public sector organizations.
