Abstract

Personnel document management within local governments is integral to the legality of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) decisions. This study analyzes the construction of administrative accountability in document management and its implications for the legal certainty of ASN decisions. Employing a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches, this research evaluates how internal administrative processes affect legality. The findings reveal that document management critically determines the authority, procedural, and substantive validity of administrative decisions. Although the Personnel Subdivision is a technical unit, not the final decision-maker, it bears functional accountability for procedural integrity. Because defective management causes legal vulnerability, strengthening procedural standards, substantive verification, and digital data validation is essential to guarantee legal certainty and protect ASN rights.
