The relationship between employees self regulation and readiness to change in the public sector / Andi Hariza Andi Basa and Aliff Didii Abidin

Public sector is employers consisting of departments and agencies of the government. Thornhill (2006) identifies three main reasons for why public
sector productivity is crucial. First, the public sector is a major employer. Second, the public sector is a major provider of services in the economy,
particularly business services (affecting cost of inputs) and social services (affecting labour quality). Third, the public sector is a consumer of tax
resources. Changes in public sector productivity may have significant implications for the economy and we cannot avoid changes. This is supported
by Drucker, (1999) the pace of challenges is increasing and thus organisational change is considered unavoidable. The public sector that we
choose is Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan (KPDNKK). We choose KPDNKK because the organization is
rarely being mentioned although they play a huge role in taking care of the public necessity as well as protecting the public rights.
