Implementation of data collection methods is adjusted to the depth of information that must be explored and the availability of resources. The data taken to conduct this study consisted of primary data and secondary data. Primary data is data collected directly from the source and/or derived from direct measurements of the object of study through in-depth interviews with key figures.

Larger, Not Leaner? Agencification and the Size of the Administrative Overhead in Local Governments

ABSTRACTGovernments establish agencies to enhance public service efficiency, aiming to improve government performance. However, agencification makes governments' service delivery more complex by putting service providers at arm's length from governments' control. To retain their capacity to support frontline service delivery, governments may expand their central administrative overhead. Conceptually, overhead constitutes resources available to support primary production processes in the organization, such as managerial coordination and technical support. This study, based on survey and registry data from 296 Norwegian local governments, analyses whether agencification correlates with the size of administrative overhead across political systems. The findings reveal lower central administrative overhead in local governments with higher degrees of agencification, suggesting a challenge in providing central support for an increasingly disaggregated service delivery. Importantly, the study underscores the difficulty governments face in mobilizing adequate resources to achieve their stated goals.

Reformasi Birokrasi Kabupaten Kerinci: Strategi Peningkatan Efisiensi dan Kualitas Pelayanan Publik

Abstract. Bureaucratic reform in Indonesia is an important agenda in improving government performance, especially in public services. Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province, faces various challenges in carrying out bureaucratic reforms, such as low capacity of civil servants, limited infrastructure, and resistance to change. Weber's bureaucratic theory, New Public Management (NPM), and the concepts of efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency are the theoretical framework for understanding the importance of bureaucratic reform. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with in-depth interview methods and direct observation. The results of the study show that Kerinci Regency has implemented bureaucratic reform policies, such as simplifying service procedures and using information technology. However, various obstacles such as the lack of ASN capacity and limited infrastructure hinder the implementation of reforms as a whole. The positive impacts identified are increased community satisfaction, transparency, and accountability of local governments. This research recommends increasing the capacity of civil servants, expanding the implementation of e-government, and strengthening service infrastructure to support more effective and sustainable bureaucratic reform. Thus, bureaucratic reform in Kerinci Regency can encourage public services that are more efficient, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the community.

Impact of Crime and Insecurity on Citizen Trust in Public Institutions: Evidence from Bangladesh

The paper aims to explore how crime and insecurity influence citizen trust in public institutions.

Risk Management, Corruption Control, and Public Monitoring: Do They Improve Government Performance Accountability?

Performance accountability plays an important role in good governance, but not all local governments in Indonesia have implemented it well. Currently, the Indonesian government is starting to focus on implementing risk management and corruption control by implementing an evaluation of the implementation of these two things beginning in 2021. In addition, public monitoring is also increasingly important, as seen from the increasing number of people daring to express their opinions about government performance through social media.

Making Sense of Open Government: A Conceptual Framework and Ideas for Future Research

Abstract In the last decade, open government has been considered a powerful tool for administrative reform and governance transformation, particularly through transparency improvements and citizen engagement strategies. Although extensive research has been conducted on open government during this period, most studies highlight its links to information access and transparency and do not explicitly analyze other components related to citizen engagement, such as participation and collaboration with the public or the role of information technologies as an important enabler of open government. Similarly, studies focused on open government have failed to clearly identify and explain several of its potential results, such as improved government performance, greater accountability, and enhanced legitimacy and trust in government—all themes studied in Public Administration for decades. The streams of research on open government’s components and results have generally developed in isolation from one another, each considering a limited number of variables, with relatively few attempts to systematically connect them. As an effort to begin addressing this gap, this article proposes an open government framework that integrates multiple concepts related to open government and categorizes them as either constitutive components or potential results. The article also suggests a few propositions that illustrate how the framework could be used to envision future studies.
