Abstract

A civil servant selection attributes transaction cost. Aim of this conceptual paper is to explain behavior of transaction cost payment from perspective theory of the rationale of economics. This study was conducted by understanding various theories regarding a phenomena of transaction cost payment. This study revealed transaction cost payment as typical self interest and utility maximization (neo-classic rationality), to behave as Al-Nafs Al-Ammarah (Islamic rationality). The transaction cost payment was encouraged by perception, understanding and prior experiences (Keynes rationality), environment (psychology rationality). However, there was a limited scope of information for transaction cost payment (bounded rationality).

Bahasa Abstract

Seleksi pegawai negeri sering kali memunculkan biaya transaksi. Tujuan dari artikel konseptual ini adalah menjelaskan perilaku membayar biaya transaksi tersebut dalam perspektif teori rasionalitas ilmu ekonomi. Studi dilakukan dengan memaknai berbagai perdebatan teori rasionalitas dan menghubungkannya dengan fenomena membayar biaya transaksi. Hasil studi menunjukkan membayar biaya transaksi sebagai bentuk self interest dan maksimalisasi utilitas (rasionalitas neo-klasik), sebagai perilaku Al-Nafs Al-Ammarah (rasionalitas Islam). Membayar biaya transaksi juga dibentuk oleh persepsi, pemahaman, dan pengalaman perilaku sebelumnya (rasionalitas Keynes), lingkungan (rasionalitas sosiologi), dan kepribadian (rasionalitas psikologis). Di samping itu, terdapat keterbatasan informasi dalam membayar biaya transaksi tersebut (bounded rationality).
