This study examines solutions to overcome the negative impacts of institutional isomorphism in the development of human resources of civil servants in the Province of West Papua as a New Autonomous Region with specific characteristics. A quantitative study with 410 ASN respondents identified four main gaps due to institutional isomorphism. The results of the study prove that three interventions, namely, Contextual Adaptation Mechanism (MKA), needs-ased program differentiation (DIF), and impact-based evaluation system (SIS), are effective in reducing the gap in human resource development. Regression analysis shows that all three interventions have a significant effect, with MKA having the greatest effect (β = -0.385), followed by DIF (β = -0.316) and SIS (β = -0.209). A negative coefficient indicates an inverse relationship, where increasing implementation of interventions consistently reduces the gap in human resource development in new autonomous regions.
