The support of the organization where individuals work influences employees' quality of life in government agencies. Employee-perceived organizational support (POS) has been proven in previous research to help reduce employee stress levels and emotional exhaustion during work. The influence of POS in government agencies in Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia shows similarities and differences. This research explores POS elements, namely Socio-emotional, Orientation towards organization and work, Behavioral outcomes, and Employee welfare, and its impact on government agencies in Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. The author uses a qualitative literature study approach; this research reveals POS elements practiced in government agencies in Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. The three countries theoretically use POS elements. However, in practice, their impact is very different, so the results of engagement and performance produced by employees are also different. The difference is that the POS implemented in Singapore and Thailand agencies contains a "behavior results" element, whereas in Indonesia, there is none. In Indonesia, nothing was found explicitly regarding the issue of cross-cultural citizenship behavior and employee withdrawal behavior. Furthermore, the POS measurement tool in the three countries uses the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support. The influence of POS fosters a positive work environment and can encourage employee satisfaction and work commitment. Therefore, agencies in Indonesia need to adapt it to increase employee engagement and performance

The obligation of academic staff at public universities to teach is subject to ordinances governing the obligation to teach adopted by the individual German Federal States (Länder). These ordinances stipulate the scope of the relevant obligation to teach. They are applicable both to staff who are directly employed by the Federal State and in cases where the relevant university is the superior authority (Dienstherr) and employer (Arbeitgeber). Recently employees representatives have been keen to make these teaching obligations the subject of collective agreement. This threatens to result in different regulations applying to civil servants (Beamte) and employees (Angestellte) at public universities. It is therefore necessary to look into the question whether such collective regulations would be permitted by law. Firstly, it is only possible to make private law employment relationships the subject of collective agreements, not, however, civil servant relationships. The obligation to teach of the employed members of the academic staff, as a specific form of the obligation to work, is in fact part of the substance of their employment relationships and can therefore, in principle, be the subject matter of collective agreement in accordance with Section 1 (1) of the German Act Governing Collective Agreement (Tarifvertragsgesetz). However, the question is whether the ordinances governing the obligation to teach are mandatory and would thus exclude any collective regulations in this regard. In terms of constitutional law, there is the further question whether an exclusion of collective regulations would be an infringement of the fundamental right of the freedom of association (Koalitionsfreiheit) as provided for in Article 9 (3) of the German Constitution and whether such infringement could be justified. Furthermore, it is necessary to clarify the legal situation in the case of universities having a capacity of their own as the superior authority and employer, because the relevant universities themselves are capable of being a party to collective agreement. And finally, specific provisions of the university laws as well may affect the question of whether collective regulations would be permitted in the area of the academic staffs obligation to teach, for example if it is possible under such specific provisions to determine regulations deviating from the Federal State ordinance governing the obligation to teach. The authors investigate these questions in the present article and come to the conclusion that collective regulations which deviate from the stipulations in the Federal State ordinances governing the obligation to teach would not be permitted by law, also to the extent that the universities themselves are the superior authorities and employers of academic staff.

In facing the challenges of a world full of uncertainty, every organization needs to adapt to organizational changes. Employees as change targets need high motivation to be able to accept change. The success of an organizational change can be seen through the realization of employee affective commitment, which leads to increased performance during organizational change. This study aims to analyze the role of perceived organizational support on employee performance. In addition, to analyze the role of mediating affective commitment in the relationship. The object of research was carried out in the government sector by taking a sample of 128 respondents who are employees of the public sector organization, the Central Bureau of Statistics in Indonesia. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires distributed via email and social media. The research findings show that perceived organizational support does not directly affect employee performance. Meanwhile, affective commitment is a perfect mediator mediating the relationship between perceived organizational support and employee performance. Research is limited to the scope of one government agency only. Furthermore, research can be conducted in all government agencies in Indonesia to provide more comprehensive results.

Government institutions need social media channels as a public communication tool to disseminate policies, programs and public information. The government needs to use social media channels to reach a wider community amidst the low level of public trust in government communications and information channels. The aim of the research is to analyze the substance of the content, namely the type and nature of the content, what the audience needs and what the content message needs to communicate to the audience. This research also seeks the content structure related to how content is prioritized, arranged, formatted and displayed in the media. The objects analyzed are Instagram social media in 100 ministries and agencies. This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach that focuses on analyzing the use of Instagram social media by ministries and government agencies in Indonesia. This method aims to provide a comprehensive picture of government digital activities and to analyze the effectiveness of the substance and structure of the content implemented. Instagram was chosen as the main focus because it is the social media platform most widely used by ministries/agencies. The research results show that each agency has various needs with different strategies for using Instagram social media. The ministry has optimized Instagram social media more than the government agencies. Interestingly, the agency produces more content than the ministry, but it is still not optimal. Meanwhile, on average, ministerial agencies still prioritize personal figures and institutional agencies prioritize public information, although they also still predominantly prioritize leadership elements. The results of this research suggest that the government, especially the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, can create standards in managing social media, especially in producing the structure and substance of content so that it can more optimally convey information and interact with the audience.
