This study examines the influence of good governance principles and e-service quality on public satisfaction in using the Mobile JKN application at BPJS Health, Ambon City Branch. The rapid development of digital public services requires government institutions to ensure that technology-based services are supported by effective governance practices. This research aims to analyze how the implementation of good governance and the performance of digital services contribute to users’ perceptions and satisfaction with the Mobile JKN application. A quantitative approach was employed using multiple linear regression analysis to assess the relationship between the independent variables and public satisfaction as the dependent variable. The results indicate that good governance has a significant positive effect on public satisfaction (β = 0.421; t = 5.701; Sig. = 0.000), as does e-service quality (β = 0.510; t = 6.909; Sig. = 0.000). Simultaneously, good governance and e-service quality significantly influence public satisfaction, as evidenced by an F-value of 145.328 with a significance level of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.861 indicates that 86.1% of the variation in public satisfaction can be explained by the two independent variables, while the remaining 13.9% is influenced by other factors outside the model. These findings highlight that the integration of sound governance practices and high-quality digital services is essential for improving user satisfaction in technology-based public health services. Strengthening governance mechanisms and continuously enhancing digital service performance are therefore crucial strategies for increasing public satisfaction with the Mobile JKN application.

Global trends point to a growing challenge to meet the demand for water, energy, and food in the coming years, exacerbated by population growth, economic development, climate change, and environmental degradation. According to reports such as IPCC and EU Environment, this outlook threatens sustainability and equity in using natural resources. Despite the EU's environmental and energy policy efforts, such as the European Green Pact, the Water Framework Directive, and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), challenges persist in water management and the its alignment of with food production and energy policies.The UN 2030 Agenda addresses these challenges, recognizing the interdependence of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Highlighting the crucial role of water for population and ecosystems, SDG 6 and 15, which intertwines with others. Achieving the 2030 Agenda requires a thorough understanding of the interconnections between the SDGs and coherent water governance policies at different levels and sectors.The WEFE NEXUS (Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems) concept has emerged as a promising tool to address these interdependencies and improve policy coordination. However, effectively translating this concept into effective governance practices remains a challenge. The complexity of the NEXUS requires multidisciplinary and holistic approaches, integrating quantitative and qualitative information at various spatio-temporal scales and institutional boundaries. Including stakeholders throughout the process enriches the diversity of perspectives and fosters the conscious and effective adoption of established measures by a significant portion of the population. The proactive participation of stakeholders not only enhances understanding of the interconnections between the SDGs and NEXUS governance but also contributes to creating more effective and sustainable governance practices. This inclusive approach is essential for achieving sustainable and resilient development that reflects the needs and concerns of the community at large.This work seeks to develop a guide for implementing NEXUS governance practices and policies, co-created with stakeholders and end-users. The objectives include identifying previous challenges the watershed might face, causal relationships among variables, their polarity and weight (importance within the system) with causal loop diagrams, analyzing the influence of different stakeholder perspectives (assuring WEFE representativeness and avoiding power dynamics among them) on the effectiveness of adaptation measures, and assessing the integration of NEXUS into legislative frameworks such as the CAP. A combined literature review methodology, participatory processes, and system dynamics modeling will be used to achieve these objectives.This study is being carried out in three case studies in Spain: the Júcar, Tagus and Segura River basins. The combination of interviews, group workshops, and participatory modeling activities highlight the active involvement of stakeholders in the co-creation of governance practices. Conceptual and quantitative system dynamics models have been developed, integrating hydrological, climatic, and socio-economic data.This project will contribute to integrating local knowledge, promoting the co-production of knowledge and fostering more effective and sustainable governance practices. Proactive stakeholder participation will be vital to addressing the complexity of the NEXUS and achieving sustainable and resilient development.Acknowledgements: This study has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the GoNEXUS project (GA No 101003722).

Purpose–The paper examines ways that Knowledge Management (KM) can demonstrate practical value for organizations. It begins by reviewing the claims made about KM, i.e. the benefits KM can provide to organizations. These claims are compared with traditional firm performance metrics to derive a criterion to measure the value of KM. Seven practical outcomes of KM are then presented as methods to persuade managers to invest in KM. These practical outcomes are then evaluated against the value criterion. The paper is based on empirical evidence from a five year longitudinal study.Design/methodology/approach–This paper is based on a longitudinal change project for a large Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project grant in the period 2008-2013. The Project was a transformational change program which aimed to help make the partner organisation a learning organisation. The partner organisation was a large Australian Government Department, which faced the threat of knowledge loss caused by its ageing workforce. The sample was 118 respondents, mainly engineering and technical workers. A total of 150 respondents were invited to participate in the study which involved an annual survey and attendance at regular training workshops and related activities, with a participation rate of 79 per cent.Findings–This paper provides a checklist from which to evaluate KM in terms of financial and non-financial measures and seven practical outcomes from which to identify the organisational problem which may be addressed by KM. Lead and lag indicators – what needs to be done and what will result – are also provided. Managers may use this framework to identify the value proposition in any KM investment.Research limitations/implications–The research is based on a single case study in a public sector organization. While the longitudinal nature of the study and the rich data collected offsets this issue, it also presents good opportunities for researchers and practitioners to test the ideas presented in this paper in other industry contexts. The seven practical outcomes also vary in the maturity of the empirical evidence supporting KM ' s impact. Strategic alignment, value management, and psychological contract, in particular, are still under-developed and could be areas for specific further research testing the ideas presented here.Practical implications–This paper argues that investment decisions regarding KM may benefit from focusing on significant and on-going organisational problems, which will connect KM with firm performance and demonstrate financial and non-financial impact. The seven practical outcomes were evaluated against measurement criteria and against KM ' s claims. Overall, common themes were time and cost, as well as capability growth and performance improvements. Financial impact was mainly found in cost savings. Non-financial impact was found across the seven practical outcomes. It provides management with a checklist to make investment decisions regarding KM.Originality/value–The decision whether to invest in KM begins with methods used to evaluate any organisational project. Managers must determine first whether necessary funds are available; and then whether the project is worthwhile. The standard method for evaluating a project ' s worth is return on investment (ROI). However, calculating ROI for KM investment is problematic. Unless KM can be proven to directly improve performance in financial terms, managers may struggle to see its ROI. The paper begins by reviewing the claims made about KM, i.e. the benefits KM can provide to organizations. These claims are compared with traditional firm performance metrics to derive a criterion to measure the value of KM.

PurposeDespite Bangladesh's great strides in formulating disaster management policies following the principles of good governance, the degree to which these policies have successfully been implemented at the local level remains largely unknown. The objectives of this study were two-fold: (1) to examine the roles and effectiveness of local-level governance and disaster management institutions, and (2) to identify barriers to the implementation of national policies and Disaster-Risk-Reduction (DRR) guidelines at the local community level.Design/methodology/approachBetween January 2014 and June 2015 we carried out an empirical investigation in two coastal communities in Bangladesh. We employed a qualitative research and Case Study approach, using techniques from the Participatory Rural Appraisal toolbox to collect data from local community members as well as government and NGO officials.FindingsOur study revealed that interactive disaster governance, decentralization of disaster management, and compliance by local-level institutions with good governance principles and national policy guidelines can be extremely effective in reducing disaster-loss and damages. According to coastal community members, the local governments have generally failed to uphold good governance principles, and triangulated data confirm that the region at large suffers from rampant corruption, political favoritism, lack of transparency and accountability and minimal inclusion of local inhabitants in decision-making – all of which have severely impeded the successful implementation of national disaster-management policies.Research limitations/implicationsWhile considerable research on good governance has been pursued, our understanding of good disaster governance and their criteria is still poor. In addition, although numerous national disaster management policy and good governance initiatives have been taken in Bangladesh, like many other developing countries, the nature and extent of their local level implementation are not well known. This study contributes to these research gaps, with identification of further research agenda in these areas.Practical implicationsThe study focuses on good disaster governance and management issues and practices, their strengths and limitations in the context of cyclone and storm surges along coastal Bangladesh. It offers specific good disaster governance criteria for improving multi-level successful implementation. The paper deals with International Sendai Framework that called for enhancement of local level community resilience to disasters. Thus, it contributes to numerous policy and practice areas relating to good disaster governance.Social implicationsGood disaster governance would benefit not only from future disaster losses but also from improved prevention and mitigation of natural hazards impact, benefiting society at large. Improvement in knowledge and practice in disaster-risk-reduction through good governance and effective management would ensure local community development and human wellbeing at the national level.Originality/valueThe failure of local-level government institutions to effectively implement national disaster management and resilience-building policies is largely attributable to a lack of financial and human resources, rampant corruption, a lack of accountability and transparency and the exclusion of local inhabitants from decision-making processes. Our study identified the specific manifestations of these failures in coastal communities in Bangladesh. These results underscore the vital need to address the wide gap between national DRR goals and the on-the-ground realities of policy implementation to successfully enhance the country's resilience to climate change-induced disasters.

Effective governance is a cornerstone of any modern nation's strength and security. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the role of the reserve army in strengthening national defense, within the framework of good governance principles. The reserve army, a vital component of a country's defense strategy, represents a proactive and cost-efficient means of augmenting the regular armed forces during times of crisis. Through a lens of good governance, this study examines the organizational, strategic, and ethical dimensions of the reserve army's contribution to national defense.The analysis begins by exploring the concept of good governance, highlighting its significance in ensuring transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in defense policies. Drawing on case studies from various nations, the paper investigates how effective governance practices can positively influence the recruitment, training, and deployment of reserve forces. Special attention is given to mechanisms that promote equitable representation, inclusivity, and adherence to human rights standards within the reserve army framework.Furthermore, the study delves into the strategic alignment between the reserve army and the overall national defense strategy. It examines how coherent planning, integrated communication, and joint exercises between regular and reserve forces can enhance the overall preparedness and responsiveness of a nation's defense apparatus. The role of technology and innovation in optimizing the reserve army's effectiveness is also explored, emphasizing the importance of well-governed resource allocation and technological integration. In conclusion, this paper underscores the critical role of good governance in maximizing the potential of the reserve army to strengthen national defense. By aligning recruitment practices, strategic planning, and ethical considerations with principles of effective governance, a nation can build a resilient, adaptable, and citizen-oriented reserve force that significantly contributes to its overall security. The findings of this analysis provide valuable insights for policymakers, military planners, and scholars seeking to enhance the role of the reserve army within a framework of sound governance practices

This study investigates the role of competitive advantage and the moderating effect of good corporate governance (GCG) in enhancing the impact of knowledge management on organizational performance within PT Angkasa Pura II, a state-owned airport enterprise in Indonesia. Guided by the Resource-Based View (RBV) framework, this research adopts a quantitative explanatory design. Data were collected from 198 senior leaders and managers across 20 airports operated by PT Angkasa Pura II and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that knowledge management exerts a positive yet insignificant influence on competitive advantage, while competitive advantage significantly improves organizational performance. Furthermore, GCG strengthens the relationship between competitive advantage and organizational performance, demonstrating its strategic role in enhancing sustainable performance outcomes. The study highlights the critical integration of knowledge management and governance practices in building and sustaining organizational competitiveness. The results provide practical insights for managers and policymakers in state-owned enterprises to align knowledge management strategies with good governance principles for long-term organizational success.

Knowledge management has emerged as a central concept for improving an organisations competitive advantage. It claims to improve performance though better reuse of knowledge, and by minimising the loss of valuable organisational knowledge when employees leave. Information technology is often promoted as the core of knowledge management solutions, often at the expense of understanding the cultural and social barriers preventing knowledge use in organisations. Much of the research into knowledge management has taken the view that knowledge is an object that can be supported with technology tools, and hence has focused on explicit knowledge within organisations. This dissertation takes a different view, seeing the concept of knowledge as being intrinsically tied to an organisation's perceptions of their work and situation - i.e. situated and embedded within work practices. The research question explored in this dissertation is, What is the relationship between group context, technology and knowledge management? For this dissertation, knowledge management is defined as a systematic effort to share and use organisational knowledge within the organisational context so as to increased organisational performance. By understanding how knowledge is perceived, a perspective of knowledge management emerges with particular focus on the organisation's situation. Tools to support knowledge management can then be tailored to best suit the organisation. This dissertation has used an interpretive case study approach to explore knowledge management in a large HRM department, using interpretive research assumptions. Data was collected through individual interviews, documentation review and observations. Holsapple and Joshi's Knowledge Management Influence Model and Markus' model of knowledge Reuse were used to analyse and structure the data collected from the case organisation. The research findings confirmed that the work practices of the case organisation impacted on knowledge management activities. Within the HRM department, 2 distinct work groups existed with difference organisational functions. Hence different knowledge reuse situations exist within the department, each having separate support needs. A range of influences also impact knowledge management within the case organisation. Externally, Freedom of Information legislation acts as a disincentive for storing additional information in case files. Use of the current technologies available to the department is limited due to the high reliance on personal networks for information, which is assisted by a low staff turnover rate. In addition, the lack of a clear strategy for knowledge management makes it difficult to see how technology can be better positioned to support knowledge activities. The perceptions of knowledge management showed that the lack of clear strategy led to unclear perceptions about the sources of knowledge, and the knowledge management objectives, methods and uses. However, from the perceptions explored in the HRM department a useful framework for further analysis was developed and represents an interesting future research opportunity. The research findings clearly demonstrated the complexity of supporting knowledge management activities with technology in an organisation. Without understanding the current context of the organisation the design of any technology tools to support knowledge management would be unlikely to succeed. The HRM department consisted of two distinct work groups with different knowledge management and knowledge reuse needs. The external influences on knowledge management limited the amount of information staff were willing to store in electronic records, and generally technology was viewed unfavourably in the department. This dissertation has clearly demonstrated that successful technological support of knowledge management would require careful consideration of work processes and organisational influences. Technology is a tool that must be tailored to fit organisational circumstances if it is to be successfully implemented within organisations, especially when supporting a socially dependent concept such as knowledge management.

PurposeThe application of knowledge management (KM) is critical to public sector firm as it is to private sector firm. However, despite its significance, the academic enquiry of KM in public sector is at its nascent stage. This forms the motivation of the present work; this paper aims to analyze and understand the intricate relationship between KM processes and public sector firm performance in terms of operational, quality and innovation performance.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive KM processes–performance framework consisting of seven constructs (four constructs of KM processes and three constructs of KM performance) and their underlying factors was developed through an extensive literature review. The employee perceptions of these seven constructs were captured on a five-point Likert scale using a country-wide survey in the UAE public sector. The 270 valid responses captured were then used to first validate the KM framework and then test the hypothesized relationships between KM processes and KM performance.FindingsThe findings show that all four KM processes (knowledge creation, knowledge capture and storage, knowledge sharing and knowledge application and use) had a positive and significant impact on operational, quality and innovation performance of public sector in the UAE.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings confirm the validity and reliability of all the seven constructs and their underlying factors and the assessment framework. Overall, this study fills a gap in the literature about applying/implementing a KM framework for the public sector and therefore significantly contributes toward the theoretical advancement of the field. However, the study does acknowledge the use of perceptual measures of individual employees as a limitation instead of more objective measures to capture the impact KM processes on KM performance.Practical implicationsThe strong and significant impact of KM processes on firm performance is expected to provide the impetus for practitioners and policymakers to implement and leverage from KM processes and improve firm performance in the public sector.Originality/valueA comprehensive development, validation and assessment of a KM framework for the public sector has not been attempted previously anywhere, let alone UAE, and hence constitutes the novelty of this work.
