“…Increasingly for many of these activities, (super-) fast broadband access is required. The pace of technological change exacerbates the situation of the home-based business, with slow broadband connections incapable of supporting many now routine online applications (Philip et al, 2017). Further, in households where household members use multiple devices simultaneously, additional demands are placed on the home-business broadband service (Dutton and Blank, 2011).…”

“…Home-based businesses are disadvantaged because superfast broadband connections are concentrated in commercial districts and industrial estates (Philip et al, 2017;Williams et al, 2016) and because they are offered more expensive residential contracts than business contracts (Ofcom, 2015).…”

“…In other words, in the context of digital infrastructure improvements -the already "faster" areas are getting faster, leaving those in peripheral "hard-to-reach" areas behind. Running a business from home becomes particularly challenging in sparsely populated areas where poor fixed-broadband services are compounded by no or poor mobile broadband coverage (Philip et al, 2017).…”

“…Vielmetter and Sell (2014) predict that the work patterns of an organization will undergo changes caused by six current dominant factors, namely globalization 2.0, environmental crisis, individualization and pluralization of values, digital era, demographic change, and technological convergence. One example of a notably frequent change in bureaucracy is the use of ICT as a form of innovation and a consequence of digital era in different parts of the world ( (Puspitasari, L., & Ishii, K, 2016;Wamuyu, P.

This study aims to highlight the phenomenon of transition from structural to functional positions in government bureaucracy in Indonesia. Since in this modern era, an environmental change strongly influences public organizations which encourage public organizations like bureaucracy must be adaptive. In line with the issuance of Law No. 5/2014 on State Civil Apparatus (ASN), public organizations such as bureaucracy have undergone reform to be structurally lean and functionally rich. Consequently, there is a gradual change that government institutions change from structural to functional positions. The methodology applied is post-positivism. The concept of job analysis in the structure of public organizations is deductively downgraded into its indicators and then used as guidance in qualitative data collection. The result found that, firstly, job analysis is still applied and relevant to determine Administrative and Functional Positions in both government institutions, yet it is not carried out systematically and optimally. Secondly, the trend in the tendency of transition from structural to functional positions in both government institutions is due to the misperception of the employees towards Functional Positions.
