Application of Digital Maturity Framework in Improving the Performance of Public Sector Organizations in Indonesia.
Full text linkPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menerapkan kerangka kerja kematangan digital dalam meningkatkan kinerja organisasi sektor publik di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan bibliometrik, memanfaatkan data dari basis data Scopus (2019-2024) yang dianalisis menggunakan RStudio dan VOSviewer. Analisis dilakukan terhadap tiga dimensi utama: teknologi, proses, dan sumber daya manusia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sektor publik di Indonesia telah menunjukkan kemajuan dalam penerapan infrastruktur digital, seperti komputasi awan dan analisis data. Namun, tantangan seperti interoperabilitas sistem dan rendahnya tingkat otomatisasi masih ada. Pada dimensi proses, penerapan pendekatan berbasis data telah dimulai, namun efisiensi operasional masih memerlukan peningkatan melalui otomatisasi. Sementara itu, kompetensi sumber daya manusia digital masih rendah, sehingga diperlukan pelatihan dan peningkatan kapasitas yang lebih intensif. Kesimpulan penelitian menegaskan bahwa kerangka kerja kematangan digital mampu memberikan panduan sistematis dalam menilai kesiapan organisasi dan merancang strategi transformasi yang efektif. Penerapan teknologi canggih, seperti Internet of Things (IoT), kecerdasan buatan, dan blockchain, memiliki potensi besar untuk meningkatkan kinerja sektor publik, tetapi keberhasilannya bergantung pada tata kelola yang kuat, manajemen risiko, dan integrasi lintas sistem. Untuk memastikan keberlangsungan transformasi digital, diperlukan investasi berkelanjutan dalam infrastruktur, pelatihan, dan regulasi yang lebih kuat. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan strategi bagi sektor publik untuk mencapai efisiensi, transparansi, dan layanan yang lebih baik di era digital.Kata Kunci: Kematangan Digital , Sektor Publik, Kerangka Kerj
Risk Management: Challenges For Village Government in Managing Village Funds, in Indonesia
Full text linkThis study reviews the challenges in implementing risk management for village fund management and provides insights based on current practices. Risk management provides a process for addressing risks associated with managing village funds; however, it faces barriers, particularly at the village level within government organizations. The work background and educational experience of village heads and officials are key obstacles in applying the RM village fund management. The study uses a qualitative, descriptive approach; locations were selected based on established criteria for independent villages in mountainous areas. Data collection involved interviews, searching documents for regulations, followed by analysis through preparation, reading, viewing, coding and interpretation. This study identified eight types of risk, categorized into two groups, during the implementation of risk management for the misuse of village funds. Therefore, providing socialization to village governments on training, policy setting, and local government support is crucial to solve challenges in village funds management. The research is limited to two villages in the mountainous region. The findings are useful for developing government science, particularly in local government management, and are necessary to achieve effective small-scale governance and development. Challenges come from both internal and external sources within the village government during risk management implementation.
Good or Bad Governance for Whom? Governance is a Trojan Horse for Capital Expansion in Pati, Indonesia
Full text linkGovernance as theory and practice, since the end of the 20th century, has been disseminated as the best form of public management. This notion of governance emphasizes reducing state actor authority, and in the name of participation, the voice of the state actor is positioned on par with the voices of private actors and civil society. To support the concept of governance, international organizations and financial institutions (United Nation, World Bank & IMF) promote the principles of "good governance" as the antithesis of "bad governance" which is characterized as corrupt, undemocratic and detrimental to the people. This research challenges governance theory and practice, with a case study of Indocement Ltd (Heidelberg Cement Group) expansion in Central Java, Indonesia. This research uses an ethnographic method, which was carried out in two periods, in 2014-2015 and 2017-2018. The contribution of this research is that instead of being happily accepted by the people, governance and the principles of good governance were actually opposed by the grassroots community in the case of Indocement Ltd's development plan in the Kendeng Mountains, Pati Regency, Central Java. This resistance was motivated by the use of governance and the principles of "good governance" to force the construction of a cement factory. In fighting against these problems, the people's movement advocated democracy from below through a counter-hegemonic movement that involved people, until finally it succeeded in thwarting a project to build a cement factory in their place. For people who reject the cement factory plan, governance is "good" for capital, but "bad" for the environment and people's livelihoods.
Post-Political Governance and the Return of the Political: PROPER-rated Geothermal Enterprise, Environmental Problems, and Civil Resistance in Dieng Plateau, Central Java
Full text linkThe Industrial Environmental Rating Program (PROPER) from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia has produced various outcomes. Many companies strive to meet the PROPER assessment criteria, earning ratings represented by colors ranging from black to gold. Unfortunately, the indicators set by PROPER, namely compliance and beyond-compliance assessment criteria, are limited to technical and managerial aspects rather than substantial ones. Consequently, the ratings often become a means for environmentally polluting companies to polish their public image and attract investment. PT Geo Dipa Energi (Persero), a state-owned geothermal enterprise, is one of many companies that have obtained a blue PROPER rating. This company's presence in Dieng, Central Java, has faced civil resistance due to the various pollution issues caused by their activities. The company uses the blue PROPER rating label to create a mechanism called “post-political governance” to discipline civil resistance. This mechanism refers to the process of repressing the political dimension in society by introducing apolitical mechanisms. These apolitical mechanisms are found in the values of good governance, such as participation, transparency, fairness, accountability, and public inclusion, which PROPER aims to implement. This research was conducted in Karang Tengah Village, Dieng, and remotely from different locations. The findings show that Dieng residents, whose political dimension is being disciplined, are able to reclaim their political agency through civil and discursive political resistance—a set of conditions that Wilson and Swyngedouw refer to as “the return of the political.” This research aims to present a critical perspective on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices by companies within the framework of PROPER, while also highlighting the role of the community as key actors in challenging the discourse of empowerment constructed by the company and PROPER policy.
A Historical Overview of The Most Successful Tax Amnesty Policies in Indonesia
Full text linkThe 2016 Tax Amnesty may be the most successful tax amnesty program in Indonesia. However, the debate on introducing the Voluntary Disclosure Program in 2022 raises questions. The purpose of this research is to examine the experiences of informants during the discussion and drafting of the 2016 Tax Amnesty from the aspects of background, timing, design, and accompanying strategies. A narrative qualitative approach using interview instruments is suitable for achieving the research objectives. Based on what the informants experienced, the 2016 Tax Amnesty emerged from the need to increase tax revenues to support the implementation of government programs. In addition, essential aspects such as time and design were considered when discussing the 2016 Tax Amnesty. However, another critical aspect was overlooked, namely the accompanying strategy of the tax amnesty
Compliance-gaining in policy announcement and willingness to co-produce: Experiment on psychosocial support policy
Full text linkThis article extends existing research on the determinants of willingness for co-production in policy by offering an additional lens through the use of compliance-gaining techniques in policy announcements. By experimenting on two different techniques in the case of a psychosocial support policy among Indonesian citizens, regression analysis results show that individuals will comply with policies, not necessarily because they are morally appealing, but because of other factors in the announcement. Data availability and simplified registration procedures are key components that boost compliance. On the contrary, individuals do not need to understand or have a mental health issue to participate in a segmented focus issue. Perceived legitimacy of public organizations, as well as motivation to contribute, continue to be prerequisites for highly effective public participation. This study concludes that a morally appealing delivery can be beneficial, but it requires accompanyment from other supporting aspects in the announcement, which encourages future research to test it within a specific socio-demographic background
Halal Tourism: A Critical Review of the Development and Implementation
Full text linkThis research aims to comprehend the development of halal tourism by systematically reviewing articles on halal tourism using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method and qualitative approach. This study explores the topic of halal tourism with the objective of complementing various previous research endeavors. This study reviewed 119 articles using the keywords “halal tourism” and “Muslim-friendly tourism” within the Scopus database. This study revealed four main research streams in halal tourism literature: the definition, concept, opportunities, and implementation of halal tourism. The theoretical contributions of this study include clarifying the concept and definition of halal tourism, classifying research streams in halal tourism, and offering directions for future research through various research questions. The limitations of this study are primarily attributed to the use of the Scopus database as the primary and sole source of data and the limited scope of keywords employed.
Policy Implications of E-Government Development Index Trends: A Case Study of Middle Eastern Countries
Full text linkThis research aims to provide a thorough analysis of the progress of e-government in East Asia. By analyzing the annual survey of 192 UN member states, this article reviews 10 East Asian countries and their level of development in the E-Government Development Index (EGDI). The focus of the research is to analyze the development of e-government in the Middle East. Reviewing the E-Government Development Index (EGDI) of 10 Middle Eastern countries, the study highlights variability in e-government developments in the region. In particular, it noted Kazakhstan's progress due to infrastructure and education investments, as well as Afghanistan's challenges due to conflict and limited resources. These findings are important for understanding the context of E-Government in these countries and assisting policymakers in designing strategies to improve e-government services and developmen
Institutional Failures in Decentralization: Insight from Batam, Indonesia
Full text linkBatam’s development began in 1970 by the Batam Authority (now called BP Batam) and was projected as an industrial area. At that time, Batam was transformed into a city with growth above the average national economic growth. Yet, the contrasting situation occurred after the implementation of regional autonomy in Batam. The presence of the Batam City Government as an executor of regional autonomy has a very strong legal and political position. Therefore, this paper focuses on institutional failures which have implications for the decline of the economy during the decentralized era. The methodology used in this research is descriptive exploratory, which extracts information from primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained using surveys and interviews with expert informants. The data was analyzed using the Delphi method and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results of the study showed that the problem was institutional dualism between the Batam City Government and BP Batam, which had implications for legal uncertainty. The Delphi method resulted in recommendations for the Free Trade Zone (FTZ), Special Economic Zones (SEZ), and the implementation of special autonomy in Batam. Meanwhile, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method resulted in a finding that special autonomy was the best policy choice. The concept of asymmetric decentralization based on economics is a possible model of special autonomy. However, in its implementation, further stages are needed to prepare a special law regarding the substance of specialization given to Batam.
SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF POLICY GRIDLOCK
No full textThis article systematically reviews academic research on policy gridlock (PG) to provide an overview of the development of PG in public administration (PA). This study analyzed 94 articles published between 1988 and 2022 using a systematic meta-analysis of literature reviews (SLRs) with Vosviewer software and a qualitative approach. This study finds the main research typologies in the PG literature, namely PG formation and PG completion. Our analysis also reveals that PG formation has a predominance in PG research. Meanwhile, the least published typology of PG is the completion of PG with sub-typologies, namely looking at the impact. Finally, we offer 25 future research directions to fit this typology. This study may be the first to use SLR analysis and qualitative analysis to generate detailed information about each typology of PG literature research in PA disciplines by measuring the number of publications over the last 30 years. The results of our review are limited to PG publications in the social sciences to focus on PA and policy studies and are derived from the Scopus database
