From Idealist to Be Permissive: Changes in the Way of the Police Officers' View of Police Corruption Behavior in the Process of Organizational Culture
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Police corruption is one of the deviations in the police that is of public concern in Indonesia. Police corruption is considered one of the biggest obstacles to realizing the best performance of the police in protecting and serving the community. This research examines the police's view of corruption behavior that occurs in police organizations. The main focus of this research is to understand in depth about the extent to which there has been a change in the police's human value system during a career journey that shapes its perspective on corrupt behavior and the factors that play a role in shaping the value system, both police, organizational, and individual organizational values itself. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach and using the Time Serial Analysis method. To find out the change in perspective on corruption behavior, the informant was given the same question three times: when the informant before becoming a police officer; when he/she was a student in the Brigadier Police Academy; and after serving as a new officer of the police, where the questions asked to refer to the eight models of corruption that the scenario made. From the results of the research, it can be seen that there has been a change in the way police officers view corruption behavior, namely from “idealists” when before becoming officers of the police, change to “wait and see” when they become Brigadier Police Academy students, and turn back into “permissiveness” after serving as new officers police.
KEY WORD: Police Corruption; Education; Values; Police Officers’ View.
RESUME: “Dari Idealis Menjadi Permisif: Perubahan dalam Cara Pandang Perwira Polisi terhadap Perilaku Korupsi Polisi dalam Proses Budaya Organisasi”. Korupsi polisi adalah salah satu penyimpangan dalam kepolisian yang menjadi perhatian publik di Indonesia. Korupsi polisi dianggap sebagai salah satu kendala terbesar untuk mewujudkan kinerja terbaik polisi dalam melindungi dan melayani masyarakat. Penelitian ini mengkaji pandangan polisi tentang perilaku korupsi yang terjadi di organisasi kepolisian. Fokus utama dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami secara mendalam tentang sejauh mana telah terjadi perubahan dalam sistem nilai manusiawi polisi selama perjalanan karier yang membentuk perspektifnya tentang perilaku korup dan faktor-faktor yang berperan dalam membentuk sistem nilai, baik nilai-nilai kepolisian, organisasi, dan individu itu sendiri. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan menggunakan metode Analisis Serial Waktu. Untuk mengetahui perubahan perspektif tentang perilaku korupsi, informan diberikan pertanyaan yang sama sebanyak tiga kali: ketika informan sebelum menjadi seorang perwira polisi; ketika ia menjadi seorang siswa di Akademi Brigade Polisi; dan setelah menjalani pekerjaan sebagai perwira baru polisi, dimana pertanyaan yang diajukan merujuk pada delapan model korupsi yang telah dibuat skenarionya. Dari hasil penelitian, dapat dilihat bahwa telah terjadi perubahan dalam cara perwira polisi memandang perilaku korupsi, yaitu dari "idealis" ketika sebelum menjadi perwira polisi, berubah menjadi "tunggu dan lihat" ketika mereka menjadi siswa Akademi Brigade Kepolisian, dan kembali menjadi “permisif” setelah menjadi perwira baru polisi.
KATA KUNCI: Korupsi Polisi; Pendidikan; Nilai-nilai; Pandangan Perwira Polisi.
