However, this is different from the duties of the village government center in Malang. This research aims to describe and analyze policy implementation and support and inhibiting factors for the policy of equalizing administrative positions into functional positions at the village government center in Malang. The research design uses a descriptive qualitative approach with an inductive method. The research was conducted at the Village government hall in Malang, Ministry of home affairs. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques are carried out using data collection, data reduction, and data categories. This research shows that implementing the policy of equalizing administrative positions into functional positions at the Village government center in Malang includes policy content and policy environment/context. The content of the policy consists of positive benefits felt by policy implementers, but there are differences in decision-making between implementers due to a lack of coordination. Meanwhile, the environment/context and the use of power give rise to conflicts of interest. In the future, it is hoped that policy implementers will socialize regarding specific functional positions because the socialization carried out so far has only been general and update the performance assessment system in the Ministry of home affairs' job application by not using officials to assess an employee's performance.
