Abstract
One of the problems that has led to the inefficiency and the dissatisfaction of stakeholders in the public sector is the politicization of the administration. The purpose of this study is to design dimensions and indicators to differentiate political and professional seats in government to the establishment of a meritocracy system and professionalism. This study has been conducted with a mixed-methods approach and based on exploratory sequential design. In the qualitative part, the thematic analysis method was used. In the quantitative part, based on descriptive statistics, the indicators obtained from the qualitative stage were arranged based on their importance for each seat. 10 dimensions related to the type of seats are: interactive features of the seat; professional knowledge and experience; recruitment and appointment; requirements, nature, and scope of decisions; job description and specification; performance appraisal; structural features of the seat; transparency and the rule of law; institutional context; the scope of activity and features of seats. To improve the efficiency of the government in achieving the goals as well as the optimal implementation of programs, it is necessary to distinguish between political and professional seats in the executive branch. Otherwise, with the extensive changes that take place in the government after each election, the inefficiency of the government is expected.
