Abstract

 Institutional reform of the International Labour Organization (ILO) occurred two scheme as follows, a first reform during 1994 to 2012, Michel Hansenne and Juan Somavia bring the ILO to forefront of international Organizations and decent work became a global goal through the World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization in 2002-2003. A second reform by Guy Ryder, who launched a Future of Work Centenary Initiative and establish a Global Commission on the Future of Work in 2017, to be presented a Centenary Declaration at the International Labour Conference in 2019. For international organizations to inspire global governance through political legitimacy and legal rights or called new constitutionalism, they respond in ways comparable to world governments as global leadership of hegemonic actor. Therefore, the ILO organ cannot avoid change in organization structure, strategic policy and human resources management. The director is a particularly essential political actor, defining goals and making decisions over the past century.
