Keterwakilan Perempuan dalam Birokrasi: Studi Kasus Pemerintah Kota Sukabumi
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the representation of women in the bureaucracy of Sukabumi City, focusing on the persistent gender gap in strategic positions. Despite the existence of affirmative policies requiring a 30 percent quota for women in decision-making roles, their representation remains disproportionately low, especially in structural levels such as echelon II and III. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with literature study as the primary method, this research identifies structural, cultural, and personal factors that collectively form a glass ceiling for women in public service. Findings reveal that gender-biased promotion systems, patriarchal organizational culture, limited access to leadership training, and a lack of female mentorship significantly hinder women's advancement. The study emphasizes the need for gender-sensitive meritocracy reforms and sustained leadership development initiatives to foster inclusive governance. Ultimately, increasing women's representation is not merely a matter of fulfilling quotas, but a strategic step to enhance bureaucratic quality, social equity, and policy responsiveness.
