Nurhakim Ramdani Fauzian, Hardiyanto Rahman

Abstract


The existence of triple disruption (Digital Disruption, Pandemic Disruption and Millennial Disruption) in the era of industrial revolution 4.0 and the Covid-19 pandemic towards society 5.0 makes the challenges of the current government administration increasingly complex, providing very dynamic changes that cannot be avoided, including changing the work model from a traditional model to a modern model, one of which is the Flexible Working Arrangement (FWA). These changes, however, have several positive and negative effects with some associated risks that must be known and anticipated by government organizations. Therefore, this article examines and explains how the urgency of implementing FWA in government organizations captured from various points of view such as how the types of FWA models and scheme, the benefits and impacts produced, the challenges faced, and the negative impacts that need to be anticipated in the implementation of FWA. To obtain effective and efficient results Government organizations can choose FWA models and schemes according to organizational needs by mapping stakeholders involved in the formulation of FWA policies, mapping organizational and employee position characteristics, conducting FWA standards and methods, then providing FWA supporting tools/facilities (information system, technology, etc.).
