Abstract
The implementation of the Ministry of Finance's minus growth human resource policy is associated with organizational capacity challenges in supporting training implementation at Balai Diklat Keuangan Makassar. This study aims to analyze employees' perceptions of human resource adequacy and examine the relationship between limited human resources, workload, work pressure, fatigue, and training implementation quality. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed through a survey of 16 employees using a 23-item Likert-scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, item correlation analysis, and reliability testing. The results indicate that limited human resources are associated with increased workload, task redistribution, work beyond assigned duties, work pressure, and employee fatigue. Although training implementation has been maintained through organizational adaptation and collaboration, sustainable service quality requires strengthening human resource planning, competency development, technology utilization, budget flexibility, and organizational capacity.
