Turbulence of the bureaucratic environment as a result of the efficiency of the public sector budget in the Regional Secretariat of South Buton Regency. The importance of this research lies in the fact that budget efficiency is not just a fiscal instrument, but also a source of environmental turbulence that has direct implications for the stability and performance of regional bureaucracies. To answer these problems, this study uses a qualitative approach based on the theory of bureaucratic environmental turbulence. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed qualitatively through the process of reduction, presentation, and a conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the turbulence of the bureaucratic environment is driven by budget efficiency, which is characterized by increasing economic policy uncertainty, political pressure, public and media demands, and regional fiscal limitations. This turbulence forces the bureaucracy to make rapid adaptations that are not always followed by structural readiness and organizational capacity
