The Covid-19 phenomena has an impact on governance in addition to the state of global public health. Currently, the implementation of bureaucratic reform in the local government, both at the provincial and district/city levels, is intended to develop adaptive local governance. The target to be achieved is the realization of a clean and accountable bureaucracy; an effective and efficient bureaucracy and a bureaucracy that has quality public services. The outer model is the initial level of analysis using SEM AMOS. The relationship between research indicators is described by the external model. Moreover, convergent validity, a variable, is used to evaluate the association between scores. Convergent validity can be achieved by factor loading by using large factor loading. If the item is more than 0.60, the loading factor value will be accepted. Results for the self-leadership factor ranged from 0.774 to 0.741, psychological empowerment from 0.855 to 0.827, and professionalism from 0.732 to 0.757. Scores for the transformational leadership factor ranged from 0.701 to 0.814. That is therefore permissible. This result emphasizes the significance of transformational leadership. The professionalism of employees is also influenced by psychological empowerment and self-leadership. This result demonstrates the need for the government to appoint competent leadership.
