The Role of Local Government In The Development of Human Resources For Songkok Recca MSME Artisans As Local Cultural Products In Bone Regency South Sulawesi Province

Abstract

The economy of Indonesian society is currently largely controlled by micro, small and medium
enterprises (MSMEs), therefore these micro enterprises must be developed by the Indonesian
government. The purpose of this study is to analyze the efforts made by local governments in
developing the quality of human resources for songkok recca MSME artisans. Various problems faced
in the development of artisan human resources such as production technology that is still very simple
because all production processes are carried out by hand (hand made), business management that is
not well organized (aspects of HR management, production management, financial management,
marketing management), and inadequate business capital. The research method used is qualitative
descriptive, data collection is carried out through semi-structured interviews, observation, focus group
discussion (FGD), and literature studies. Respondents were determined by purposive sampling
consisting of, Head of Service and Head of Division from related agencies, sub-districts, traditional
leaders, and craftsmen. Data analysis is carried out by reducing data, presenting data, and drawing
conclusions. To measure the development of artisan human resources that have been implemented
by local governments, it is measured using four indicators, namely, HR management, production
management, financial management, and marketing management. The results showed that the four
indicators analyzed have been running according to the rules but some have not, but the results have
had enough impact on increasing the economic activity of craftsmen, because the profits obtained
depend on the quality of the production produced, the better the quality of the products produced, the
higher the price so that the profits obtained are also higher.
