Manajemen Administrasi Tata Usaha Di SMP Negeri 2 Bone-Bone Kabupaten Luwu Utara

Abstract

This study aims to examine and describe the administration management of the school administrative office at SMP Negeri 2 Bone-Bone, North Luwu Regency, encompassing management functions, implementation across administrative domains, and the operational challenges encountered. A qualitative field research design with a descriptive approach was employed. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant and non-participant observations, and institutional documentation. The primary informants comprised the school principal, the head of administration, the school treasurer, staff members, and committee representatives. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, involving data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, validated through source and method triangulation. The findings reveal that school administrative management operates effectively through the systematic execution of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling functions. Implementation spans six primary domains: personnel, financial, infrastructure, correspondence and archiving, student affairs, and curriculum administration. Key obstacles identified include a shortage of administrative personnel leading to multiple job assignments, technological adaptability gaps among staff, heavy administrative workloads, and limited supporting facilities such as IT equipment. Nonetheless, these constraints are mitigated through coordinated task distribution, collaborative teamwork, and progressive technology integration.
