PERAN TATA KELOLA KOPERASI DALAM OPTIMALISASI PENGELOLAAN KEBUN SAWIT PLASMA ( STUDI TERHADAP KINERJA PENGURUS)

Abstract

This study aims to deeply understand the role of cooperative governance in optimizing the management of plasma oil palm plantations by focusing on the performance of cooperative administrators. The approach used was a qualitative case study design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and field observations at plasma oil palm cooperatives. Informants were selected purposively, consisting of cooperative administrators, members, and other relevant parties. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis techniques through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that good cooperative governance, particularly in the aspects of transparency, accountability, and member participation, plays a significant role in improving administrator performance. Effective administrator performance contributes to the optimization of plasma plantation management, both from a technical and administrative perspective, as well as yield distribution. However, constraints remain in the form of limited managerial capacity and low member involvement.
