Abstract: The Navy Main Base Facility Service is an implementing element directly under the Commander of Navy

Main Base Facility who has the duty to organize the construction of base facilities and services, and to

organize technical guidance, to organize the elements of the Navy Main Base. But in reality there are still

many people in the field placed not in accordance with the existing expertise and ultimately conducted short

training that is not optimal with the demands of field work. The existence of job placements that are not in

accordance with the professional will mislead the purpose of a job or organization that hampers the

professionalism and skills based on the performance of workers in the work unit, especially the Navy Main

Base Facilities Service itself. The purpose of this study is to know and examine the case of professionalism

and the ability of Navy soldiers based on their performance. This research uses case study analysis method.

The case study studies focused on a particular case to be observed and analyzed until the conclusions

obtained through secondary data were collected intensively. Based on the analysis of case studies conducted

in the placement of positions, an organization must consider education, particularly basic education which is

related to the main task, vision, mission, and goals of the organization. So, it can be completed more

effectively and efficiently for the performance based on the professionalism and skills possessed by each

individual soldier of the Navy.

1 INTRODUCTION

The Navy Base Facility Service is the central

implementing body located under the Chief

Logistics Assistant. The main task of The Navy Base

Facility Service is to carry out the function of the

construction of the base facility which includes the

facilities of the harbour, the maintenance and repair

facilities, the facilities for debriefing, the personnel

maintenance facilities, the base building facilities

and other facilities and infrastructures in the

framework of fostering the strength and capability of

the Navy.

The Navy Main Base Facility Service

abbreviated as Dispensary of the Navy Main Base

Facility is an implementing elements directly under

the Commander of the Navy Main Base that has the

duty to organize the construction of base facilities

and services, and to organize technical guidance to

the elements of the Navy Main Base. The Navy

Main Base Facility Service is also tasked to

accommodate all the activities of the Navy Base,

whether the work of the base facilities or the

maintenance of both personnel and material. It is to

From table 1 of personnel list of the Navy Main

Base Facility Service has personnel structure which

explains about the position and education of military

but do not explain professional education which

directly related to planning field either construction

or management of land/beach facility. The case of a

Head of Construction and Installation Sub

Department is to create and construct about the

construction and installation plans based on surveys

obtained in the field, develop a budget plan based on

material prices on the market at that time, and foster

the implementation of project administration

activities in the Navy Main Base Facility

environment.

This is seen as a task that requires a skilled

person who understands planning and construction

but in the workplace such like the Head of

Construction and Installation Sub Department is

done by a person who does not understand the work

of planning or construction but is not in accordance

with the skills possessed by a Head of Construction

and Installation Sub Department. Ideally, the Head

of Construction and Installation Sub Department

should have a minimum skill of construction-related

education expertise that is a civil

engineering/architect and understand the work path

of the construction planning. In his/her activities that

in the life of the military in particular looks to

culture everyone can certainly carry out the job

because in the military world is required to be able

to carry out all the work although it requires quite a

long process.

There is another case, a soldier stationed in

Military Officer of Image should ideally possess

knowledge in the field of engineering drawings and

minimal education from Vocational School, major in

buildings and drawings, because the tasks and

demands of the organization of Military Officer of

Professionalism and Skill Based on Performance: A Case Study of Indonesia Navy

735

Image to be able to conduct a survey to determine

the image technical requirements. But in reality there

are still many people in the field placed not in

accordance with existing expertise and ultimately

conducted a short training that is not optimal with

the demands of the field work.

From the data we obtained for the special

position who served in the Navy Main Base Facility

Service of the Navy Main Base Facility I up to Navy

Main Base Facility XIV, there are still many

vacancies and placement do not match the skills and

skills in positioning, especially in a field which

requires a minimum of civil engineering education

or engineering skills. This can be seen in below this

Table 2:

From Table 2 above, it is clearly seen that there

are still many needs of responsible personnel in

accordance with job descriptions. This is what

causes the officers who occupy positions that are not

in accordance with the job description and they are

people who do not have the basic or special skills in

processing, planning and organizing work, although

often all skills can be learned while doing their

work. Due to the lack of experts and mastering the

skills needed for job descriptions, a planner who is a

civil engineering or technical architect graduate

sometimes in the field produces a gap between

people who do not have and master the skills in

terms of planners but based on experience that has

been done. Therefore, it is necessary to review the

cases related to professionalism and skills based on

the performance of Navy soldier individually.

2 RESEARCH QUESTION

How professionalism and ability based on the

performance of Navy Soldier can be identified?

3 PURPOSE AND BENEFIT

The purpose of this study is to know and examine

the case of professionalism and the ability of Navy

soldiers based on their performance. The benefit of

this research is to identify cases and provide

concrete solutions to the case.

4 LITERATURES

4.1 Professionalism

Professionalism or by other name of professional in

pursuance of a job are the qualities (ability, skill,

way of doing things and others) as reasonable be

attended to or done by a professional (Ruky, 2006).

Professionalism is derived from professions

meaningful in relation to the profession or

occupation and requires special intelligence to run it

(Agusti and Nastia, 2013).

The quality of professionalism is supported by

the following characteristics: 1.) The desire to

always display near ideal behavior in accordance

with the established; 2.) Improving and maintaining

professional image; 3.) The desire to always pursue

professional development opportunities; 4.) Pursuing

the quality of goals and ideals in the profession

(Anoraga, 2006).

ICPS 2018 - 2nd International Conference Postgraduate School

736

4.2 Skill

Essentially, a skill is a science given to human

beings, where the ability or skills of people in

developing the skills they have are not easy, need to

learn, need to dig to be more skilled. Skill is a

science that is outwardly in man and the need to be

studied in depth by developing the skills possessed

(Robbins, 2000:23). Skills are aspects of behavior

that can be learned and improved through practice

(Gordon, 2004:5).

Skills used to meet the demands of the work can

not be obtained through formal education but can be

gained from experience as well as in applying for

certain tasks that demand individual ability of each

individual. There are skills categorized, among

others: 1.) Basic literacy skill; 2.) Technical skills;

3.) Interpersonal Skill; 4.) Problem Solving

(Amirullah, 2003).

4.3 Performance

Performance is the result of work in quality and

quantity that can be achieved by an employee in

performing tasks in accordance with the

responsibilities given to him. The performance as a

result of work that can be achieved by a person or

group of people within an organization, in

accordance with the authority of each responsibility

in order to achieve the objectives of the organization

concerned legally, moral or ethical (Prawirosentono,

2008). Employee performance is determined by job

characteristics, service quality and discipline based

on professionalism.

There are several factors that can be used as

performance measurement, namely: 1.)

Effectiveness and Efficiency; 2.) Authority

(authority); 3.) Discipline; 4.) Initiatives

(Prawirosentono, 2008). Good performance can not

be separated from the skills and professionalism in

the work it runs as and directly proportional so that

the goals, subject, and job functions can be realized

effectively and efficiently (Robbins and Judge,

2007).

4.4 The Indonesian Navy National

Army

The Indonesian Navy National Army is one of the

armed forces and is part of the Indonesian National

Army responsible for the defense operations of the

Republic of Indonesia at sea. The Navy has the duty

to: 1.) Implement the duty of Indonesian National

Army in the defense field; 2.) Uphold the law and

maintain security in the territorial sea of national

jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of

national law and ratified international law; 3.)

Implementing the task of naval diplomacy in order

to support the foreign policy stipulated by the

government; 4.) Carrying out the Navy duty in the

development and development of marine power

forces; 5.) Implementing the empowerment of

marine defense areas (Law No. 34 of 2004 on

Indonesian National Army Article 9).

5 METHOD

This research used case study analysis method. The

case study studies focused on a particular case to be

observed and analyzed until the conclusions

obtained through secondary data which were

collected intensively.

6 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

6.1 Case Study Analysis Based on

Secondary Data from Relevant

Treatment Test

The lack of soldiers who have skills or skills in the

field of construction or a minimum of Engineering

both Civil Engineering and Architects Bachelor

Major are very influenced to the results (output) of

workers and the results of the work. Therefore, some

effective methods or steps are needed to determine

the level and success of a task can be solved

properly, correctly, quickly, effectively, and

efficiently.

Some methods or steps to find out how a soldier

working in the field or in the Base Facilities Service

especially Lantamal (Main Navy) can understand

and do the job properly, correctly, quickly,

effectively and efficiently is to examine and analyze

the study cases based on secondary data from the

test results of a treatment of the soldiers that have

been studied previously, namely providing basic

tasks in development planning in the form of house

design soldier with type 36 and cost budget details

within 7 days.

Planning and calculating of basic budget details

can be done within a minimum of 3 days. Planning

with cost budget calculations should be in sync and

in accordance with the drawings made and in

accordance with the effective and efficient of a civil

engineering graduate. Having been given tasks and

Professionalism and Skill Based on Performance: A Case Study of Indonesia Navy

737

work loads we can assess how one fits the needs and

needs of the organization in the Navy Main Base

Facility Service which are not appropriate. From it

can be utilized to make a basic form of reference

criteria for the placement of soldiers in accordance

with the ability and expertise possessed.

6.2 Classification Result of Case Study

Analysis and Resolution Steps

From the results obtained after the assignment of

tasks and workload whether able and not perform the

task, look how have the ability, have talent, and

unable to complete the task. From there are 3 (three)

groups that have the talent of intending to study at

least Diploma of Civil Engineering or architects or

Vocational high school with building and drawing

majors.

Secondly, it is a group that has the talent of

people who have and love the construction field. It is

possible this group has ever been involved directly

in the construction or at least carry out the

construction of the field. Although, this

classification does not have a standard of formal

education in schools or colleges but this group has

many abilities and knowledge based on experiences

that have passed.

The last group is a group that has no talent at all

and no effort in completing tasks and workloads

given in a timely manner but instead issue arguments

and reasons and various opinions. It clearly does not

have the ability and experience and formal education

is accompanied by the lack of ability to complete

and cooperate with parties or people who can or

have skills in the field of construction.

From the three groups can be seen which need to

be placed in the Navy Main Base Facility Service

which is not clearly. It can be seen that those can be

placed in the Navy Main Base Facility Service are

with classification 1

, 2

, whereas the 3rd class can

not be function because It takes time so that the

purpose and vision of the Navy Main Base Facility

Service ineffective and inefficient because It must

guide from zero again.

and 2

group are in accordance with the

placement and job description in the Navy Main

Base Facility Service. Both groups must be given in

the form of methods or steps to be able to develop

the knowledge and skills. Therefore, this group

should also be given motivation both from superiors

and colleagues and families. To develop the

potential possessed by both groups It is necessary

that the ability to be developed in the form of

training either training or courses in the classroom or

theory or training plunged directly in the field or

work practices by implicating the theoretical

knowledge obtained during the class.

Steps to improve job skills in the Navy Main

Base Facility Service are by holding training related

to construction development, not only for training

within class modules but also on-the-ground

application. In addition, to the implementation of the

course can also be done by establishing cooperation

in the field of construction engineering or profession

with one of the universities around the area, because

with the cooperation both for training and

information sharing in the field of construction can

add knowledge and knowledge of members who

work in the Navy Main Base Facility Service.

In order that, to the above steps there is another

which can improve the quality of work of members

of the Navy Main Base Facility Service is by way of

reproducing work practices and associated with the

profession that is outside the Navy Main Base

Facility Service agencies such as the Public Worker

of City/Regent Government, the Public Worker of

Provincial Government, as well as to the Association

of Indonesian Construction Group. All of it can add

to the knowledge and experience of the Navy Main

Base Facility Service soldiers.

7 CONCLUSION

Based on the case study analysis conducted in the

placement or positions in an organization must be

considered in terms of education related to the main

task, vision, mission, and goals of the organization.

In addition to the education aspect must also be

considered in terms of experience because the

experience is the best teacher and where formal

education is not as a guarantor of the quality of

individuals to finishing a burden of tasks given to

solve faster, more effective, and more efficient for

the performance which can be done based on

professionalism and skills possessed by each

individual soldier of the Navy systematically.
