Abstract:

The quality of human resources managed systematically, objectively, and sustainably determines the success of an organization. The challenges of personnel placement in strategic positions still occur in the Indonesian Navy, including competency mismatches, suboptimal implementation of the merit system, and limited data-based decision-making instruments. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation and benchmarks of standardization and the concept of a talent management system for personnel placement in the Indonesian Navy. The research method used is quasi-qualitative. Data collection techniques were carried out using questionnaires/surveys in the form of Google Forms, interviews, non-participant observation, and document studies. The collected data were analyzed using NVivo 12 software. The results of the study indicate that the talent management system has been outlined in various regulations; there are indicators that have not been standardized in competency-based and performance-based talent management to support the implementation of the merit system in the Indonesian Navy. The indicator aspects, as the main pillars of assessment, are education, competency, performance, and potential qualifications. The necessary steps are the integration of job competency standards, objective performance assessments, and application-based integrated information systems to produce a measurable and accountable personnel placement process.
