Clustering Enumerators of 2023 Agricultural Census as an Implementation Strategy to Ensure Quality Statistical Data at BPS Blitar Regency

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) employs strategic management in its organizational governance, encompassing planning, implementation, and evaluation. BPS conducted the 2023 Agricultural Census as mandated by law, involving statistical partners as field data collectors. The diverse characteristics of census officers underscore the necessity for effective and efficient resource management to foster the availability of quality statistical data. However, the process of monitoring and managing census officers has overlooked factors such as academic training characteristics, attitude and behavior values, and age considerations. Thus, the purpose of the study is to address challenges in human resource management within the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in the context of conducting the 2023 Agricultural Census. The research employs a quantitative approach, specifically utilizing cluster analysis to group census officers for the 2023 Agricultural Census in Blitar Regency. Secondary data on training grades, including task grades, in-depth grades, and age, are utilized for this purpose. The cluster analysis results revealed two main groupings representing census officers for the 2023 Agricultural Census in Blitar Regency. The study concludes that strategic management and human resource management play crucial roles in achieving BPS’s vision of providing quality statistical data for national development.
