The Influence of Education, Training, and Individual Characteristics on The Performance of Civil Servants in State Administrative Institutions

This study aims to explore the influence of education, training, and individual characteristics on the performance of civil servants within state administration institutions, focusing on a sample of 101 employees randomly selected from the population of 135 at the Jakarta State Administration Institute. This research is included in quantitative research, where the research instrument uses a questionnaire. Utilizing the "Multiple Linear Regression" analysis, the findings reveal nuanced relationships. While education positively correlates with employee performance, the effect is not statistically significant. This non-significant result should be interpreted with caution, emphasizing the need for further exploration and nuanced consideration of the role of education in enhancing performance. Conversely, training exhibits a positive and statistically significant impact on performance, emphasizing its crucial role in bolstering employee effectiveness. Furthermore, individual characteristics have a positive and statistically significant influence on performance. It is essential to convey that the positive effect of education should not be dismissed due to its non-significant nature; rather, it prompts a deeper examination of the intricate dynamics between education and performance. This research underscores the importance of understanding these factors in the context of state administration institutions, providing valuable insights for optimizing the contributions of civil servants and enhancing overall institutional effectiveness.

Legal Consequences of Disobedience of Provisional Decision of the Administrative Court

The existence of a legal vacuum in the State Administrative Court (PTUN) procedural law relating to the execution of the PTUN Provisional Decision raises the issue of Judicial Disobedience by state administrative institutions that do not want to carry out the PTUN Provisional Decision. Departing from this, there are two main problem formulations, namely: (1) What are the characteristics of PTUN provisional decisions? and (2) What is the formulation of legal protection against non-compliance with PTUN provisional decisions? Furthermore, this legal research uses a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach. Based on an examination of existing legal issues, it can be concluded that provisional decisions are known in PTUN procedural law practice, where provisional decisions are submitted for matters deemed essential (urgent circumstances) by the Plaintiff to the Panel of Judges to be decided in an Interim Decision. Suppose the Party ordered by the PTUN does not implement the PTUN provisional decision. In that case, 2 (two) legal preventive mechanisms and 3 (three) legal repressive remedies can be taken in stages: 1) Sending a letter to the relevant agency, 2) Reporting to the Ombudsman, and 3) Using Criminal Law Mechanisms.

Investigating public governance models in Slovenia and Japan: a comparative survey on state and local government

Public administration and governance must adapt to the changing socio-economic environment, improving quality, process efficiency, and collaboration. Hence, public administration and public governance models have been significantly modified multiple times, resulting in differences in public governance practices. This paper examines different public governance models’ principles in Slovene and Japanese public administration. It quantifies elements based on the models' principles and applies them to an empirical case using a survey of 55 Slovene and 135 Japanese public managers. The independent samples t-test examines the differences in characteristics of public governance practices between state administration and local government in Slovenia and Japan. The results show that state administration institutions in both countries are strongly characterised by the (Neo)Weberian model’s principles, while Slovenia's local government leans towards Digital-era governance (DEG) and good governance (GG) principles. Japan's state and local administrations show equal presence of New public management (NPM), DEG, and GG models. The study aims to bridge a research gap by providing new findings on how different public governance models can be found at various Slovene and Japanese public administration levels and offers insights for public managers and policymakers for future public administration reforms.

Od prezydencjalizmu do demokracji wodzowskiej. Ewolucja ustroju i wzorców przywództwa politycznego w II Rzeczypospolitej

FROM PRESIDENTIALISM TO COMMAND DEMOCRACY: THE EVOLUTION OF POLITICAL SYSTEM AND LEADERSHIP MODELS IN THE SECOND POLISH REPUBLIC The text presents the main directions of the evolution of political leadership patterns in Poland in the interwar period. The point of departure for discussion is the model of exercising power introduced by Józef Piłsudski when he was exercising his duties as the Head of State and Commander-in-Chief. After the May coup, the marshal’s political leadership was based on his personal authority, giving a specific form to the state system, which Joseph Barthélemy called “Pilsudskism”. The next part of the text is devoted to the shaping of the political system after 1935 towards a command democracy, i.e. a system in which the most important functions are performed by the military, who control the institutions of state administration both at the central and local level. In this model, the dominant role was to be played by ‘the Chief of Nation.’ This title, according to the unwritten testament of Józef Piłsudski, was given to Edward Śmigły-Rydz. The analysis indicates that the system formed after the death of Józef Piłsudski was in conflict with the political principles on which the April Constitution adopted in 1935 was based, creating de facto duumvirate between the President and the Commander-in-Chief

From Neo-Weberian to Hybrid Governance Models in Public Administration: Differences between State and Local Self-Government

Public administration and public governance play a crucial role in society today by ensuring that social needs are met. Due to the constantly changing environment, public governance models have transformed many times, creating differences in public governance practices among public administration institutions, with combinations of contradictory structures and principles that coexist. Accordingly, this paper aims to provide an overview of different public governance models, extract quantifiable elements based on models’ principles and examine the extent of layering of different governance models at different levels of public administration in the specific case of the Slovenian administration. Thus, the main focus is on identifying the differences in characteristics of public governance practices between state administration and local self-government. The results show state administration institutions are more strongly characterised by the Neo-Weberian model’s principles. In contrast, local self-government institutions are more oriented to managerial public governance and Digital-Era Governance practices. Public managers may regard the results as additional resources for democratic and efficient governing. At the same time, they may provide policymakers with in-depth insights to consider while determining the trajectories of future public administration reforms.

К вопросу о современных проблемах медиации (на примере отношений граждан и банковских служащих).

This article discusses the prospects for the development of mediation practice in the banking sector. The main task of mediation is to develop cultural negotiations. Examples of the effectiveness of mediation as the main path to social stability in this area, to create a conflict-free living environment, the ability to negotiate are given. Mediation is shown as a negotiation process used in complex or conflict situations. Therefore, it can have the widest application. The conflicts that mediators have encountered and have experience working with during mediation are quite extensive. In the socio-economic and political spheres; in the trade and financial sphere, it is possible to single out conflicts typical for other firms or enterprises; there could be conflicts in state administrative institutions similar to those in enterprises. Modern industries are becoming customer-oriented, which means the constant attention of specialists of different professions to human satisfaction. It is shown that alternative methods for resolving disputes can become an effective tool for resolving conflicts in economic circulation. This institute operates in various foreign legal systems. It is assumed that in Russia it will develop. The bank mediation we are considering is a timely and worthy alternative in resolving disputes arising in the field of banking legal relations. In this paper, relations and disputes between banks and their customers - legal entities and individuals concluding loan agreements are examined. This area is very relevant, as one of the real sectors of the economy is involved here - small and medium-sized businesses and individuals, who make up the bulk of borrowers in the banking services market. An analysis of the literature data on the problems and research methods showed that the advantages of mediation are the speed of dispute resolution and the informal nature of its settlement. The question is posed: Who is best suited for the role of mediator in the banking sector? It is shown which risks are important to consider when introducing mediation in the banking sector. Explains why mediation is preferable to litigation. In mediation, work is underway with the emotions of a person, as well as at the level of understanding and adoption of agreed decisions by representations of the dispute by the parties themselves, partnerships and trusts are being established. In order for subjective prerequisites to be fulfilled regarding the implementation of mediation, it is important to increase the level of awareness of people with a banking profession about the possibilities of mediation as an effective tool for resolving disputes.

Protection of Cultural Heritage During Crisis Situations

Crisis situations such as catastrophes, natural disasters, armed conflicts and others pose a threat to different values. The author presents various definitions of a crisis situation found in the literature and concentrates on crisis management which might be treated as an interdisciplinary field of science. In order to achieve efficiency in crisis management one needs to apply a remarkable skill of working under pressure. In crisis situations mainly human life and health, natural environment, economy, spiritual and material values of the state or the region and its inhabitants are threatened and the functioning of state administration institutions may be also impaired. Among the protected values cultural assets seem to be neglected and legal documents in this sphere aren’t being updated. Therefore the author has presented his attempts at providing an analysis of available expert literature and legal acts, and using different research methods (such as comparison, synthesis or reasoning) he has presented the current condition of the discussed problem, indicating some potential shortcomings of the system. The plans for the protection of historical monuments are an integral part of the civil defence plans and they undergo annual updating. The author also discusses the theoretical problems in crisis management in Poland, which can be analysed in the context of strategic, tactical and operational management.

Integrity Advisors and the Development of Administrative Communication Culture

The integrity advisers are the central actors of integrity management systems of the administrative organizational structure, whose main task is to promote the implementation of the integrity approach within state administration institutions. As a complementary part of this task, we can separate the tasks of corruption prevention and the improvement of organizational integrity, of which the latter being discussed in more detail in this research and presentation. Integrity advisers play a key role in the development of organizational culture among public administration bodies, such as bodies exercising administrative authority. Looking at the topic more closely, with regard to the activities of integrity advisers, it can be clearly established that one of the engines of their operation is the proper and deep communication, which is not only necessary within the public administration and inter-agency transactions, but it also means communication activities that can be interpreted in the relationship between the public and clients. Equally important is their training and other activities aimed at developing staff awareness, relationships, situation assessment and action practices, which, in addition to and in part within public service training, provide an opportunity to shape organizational culture. The presentation and the paper aims to show the role of integrity advisors in developing organizational culture and transparency in the administration based on recent research experience about online presence of integrity advisors and in-depth interview surveys.

Ефективність державного управління

It is noted that achieving high efficiency of public administration is possible by introducing a new management paradigm that is a combination of state administration and public administration, the development of democratic foundations in society, transparent information policy, rational organization of the management apparatus, planning and forecasting of sustainable development, a well-considered personnel policy in public authorities on the principles of professionalism, the guarantee of legality and control over the implementation and enforcement of laws. The level of institutional changes in any area of public administration is determined by the effectiveness of the implementation of the management system by the relevant state institutions. Today’s realities highlight the problems of improving the governance system in state institutions in order to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the performance of the respective functions and services. Therefore, the solution to the problem of the efficiency of public administration is now one of the first places and needs an in-depth theoretical and methodological research. Turning to the methodological aspect of the problem, it should be noted that the assessment of the effectiveness of public administration is an independent and complex problem of the theory of public administration. The complexity of this problem lies in the absence of a single result in the public sector, which is a profit for commercial structures, and also that in the literal sense the results of the activity of state administration institutions can not be directly measured. In the article the theoretical and example questions of application of indicators of estimation of efficiency of the state management are considered. The criteria, indicators and indicators of foreign and domestic methods of evaluating the efficiency of public administration are analyzed. A number of questions concerning further scientific researches have been identified.

Bezirke als neue Räume der Verwaltung

Abstract This article deals with the introduction of state administrative institutions at the district level in the Habsburg Monarchy and their several reforms in the period from 1848 to 1868. It analyzes these processes in a spatial perspective and with a focus on implementation. First, it shows that new spaces of administration were constructed on several levels, especially the districts themselves and the district offices. This was done not by unilaterally expunging earlier forms of spatial organization, but rather in complex interplay with them. Numerous groups of actors were involved in negotiating this, including not only politicians and bureaucrats, but also members of the general population in various roles. In this sense there was a substantial component of ›state-building from below‹ in the creation of the district administrations. Finally, some consequences arising from the new organization of space are outlined, from the quantitative increase in state administrative activity via improved possibilities for production and use of spatial knowledge to advances in the construction of the territory as a unitary space of the state.

Making Governance More Participatory at the Local Level in Nigeria

Yearning for good governance in Africa and Nigeria, in particular, has remained a pressing and topical issue. Indeed, governance and development issues are on the front burner in democratizing societies like Nigeria. The crisis of development has been described as a ‘crisis of governance’ by the World Bank (2003). This crisis of governance has adversely affected the quality and quantity of public utilities provided at the local level. Development strategies of government at the federal, state and local levels have not actively enlisted the participation of Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in local governance despite their obvious activities and contributions to development in their communities. The bureaucratic institutions of State Administration have become so centralized with the CBOs largely relegated and made irrelevant. It is believed that if the self-governing capacity of CBOs is harnessed, supported and reinforced by governance structures, socio-economic development will be positively affected and possibly lead to its sustainability. It is against this backdrop that this paper examined the essence of CBOs participation in governance for facilitating and fast-tracking socio-economic development and ensuring accountability and responsiveness among government functionaries. The paper also presented the necessary conditions that must be met for CBOs involvement in governance as well as the expected gains of participatory governance. The paper concluded that participation of CBOs in governance could lead to effective representation and empowerment which would, in turn, enhance democratic dividends at the grassrootsl, especially in the local communities.

Toponyms and the Political and Ethnic Identity in Serbia

In the course of the last 150 years about 25 place-name changes have taken place in Belgrade. Some were more significant than others, and some of the renamed places have suffered as many as six name changes. These changes are part of a blanket process that includes renaming of state administration institutions, research institutes, schools, universities, factories, museums, sport clubs, etc., as well as personal names. This process reflects political, economic, demographic, and cultural changes serving the purpose of constructing and reconstructing political, ethnic, religious, and cultural identity, as well as political relations, and history. In this paper the author discusses this renaming process, its causes and consequences, as well as its potential for constructing and reconstructing reality.

Compromise and shake hands: the town council, authority and urban stability in Austrian small towns in the eighteenth century

Aside from the early modern tension between self-governance and the nascent institutions of state administration, towns were also marked by the tension between council and burghers; only the town council could guarantee urban stability. In conflicts between burghers, council mediation was usually concluded with the ritualistic shaking of hands and the threat of punishment in case of a repeat offence. Punishment of burghers was in all cases less important than mediation between offenders. The councils followed on the other hand a multi-layered, participatory model in their attempt to involve all resident burghers in government.

State Administration and the Founding Fathers During the Critical Period

Some scholars stress the absence of discussion in the U.S. Constitution of public administrative institutions, concluding that bureaucracy's role in American government is thereby legally and historically suspect. An important insight on this point can be gained by examining public administration activities in the 13 original states during the "Critical Period" between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutional Convention. Administrative arrangements were surprisingly elaborate during this period, although not necessarily housed under an executive branch. Moreover, state governments already were performing-by means of these arrangements-almost all of the powers explicitly enumerated in the new federal government. The Founding Fathers, far from being ignorant of prevailing state administrative institutions or their activities in these areas, were immersed in them. Hence they must have clearly understood what would be required administratively of the new federal government.
