Abstract

This research is aimed at designing a model for the development of legal solutions for judicial human resources. This a mixed research (following qualitative method first, and then, quantitative method). In the qualitative phase, following library study method, interviews with 17 legal experienced judicial and academic specialists, selected by judgment method, along with Delphi Panel method (in 3 rounds) were conducted. Data from the research literature and interviews, which were coded, and the data from Delphi panel triple run method using Kendall's statistical test of agreement were analyzed. Survey method was used to test the acquired model in the quantitative phase of the research. From a number of 976 statistical population, 256 were selected as the sample with standard number method in structural equation model. The data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis based on the structural equation model. The research resulted in a model of developing legal solutions for judicial human resource including 91 components derived from grounding, contextual, procedural, and outcome dimensions.
