Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Tehnik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam dan dokumentasi. Informan penelitian sebanyak 15 orang dengan pemilihan informan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan promosi jabatan dalam pengisian jabatan pimpinan tinggi pratama (JPTP), dinilai masih bermasalah dalam tahapan seleksi meliputi tahap lamaran, tahap penilaian, dan penetapan. Pada tahap lamaran, jumlah pegawai yang melakukan pendaftaran sangat kurang karena pegawai menilai seleksi pengisian JPTP hanya untuk memenuhi syarat dan hanya dijadikan sebagai pendamping karena pejabat yang akan menduduki jabatan sudah lebih awal dipersiapkan. Kemudian tahap penilaian dan pengangkatan, pada tahap ini panitia seleksi kurang obyektif dan tidak transparan dalam pemberian bobot nilai dan penetapan 3 (tiga) nama calon pejabat.  Pengumuman 3 (tiga) besar hanya berdasarkan abjad nama tanpa adanya rekapitulasi bobot nilai yang dimiliki masing-masing calon pejabat.
