Abstract

Indonesia's decentralization reforms—anchored in Law No. 22/1999, Law No. 32/2004, and the landmark Village Law No. 6/2014—represent one of the most ambitious local-governance transformations in Southeast Asia. Yet a persistent gap exists between the aspirations inscribed in these policies and their lived realities in village political institutions. This qualitative study examines how decentralization policies reshape village political institutions across three dimensions: structural transformation of village governance bodies, redistribution of authority between central and local government, and participatory practices within village deliberation forums. Drawing on in-depth interviews, focus-group discussions, and documentary analysis across twelve purposively selected villages in Java and Sulawesi, the study reveals that while formal institutional structures have been significantly redesigned, substantive autonomy remains constrained by regulatory centralism, fiscal dependency, and weak local capacity. Village Representative Councils (BPD) function more as rubber-stamp bodies than genuine deliberative organs. Village funds (Dana Desa) have expanded development budgets but simultaneously introduced new accountability burdens that reproduce central oversight. The findings advance a "constrained institutionalism" framework that explains how macro-level policy innovations are filtered, diluted, and locally negotiated before taking institutional form.

Abstract

Governance towards good governance requires quality Governance towards good governance requires quality policies, quality services, and quality employee performance. This is of interest to research related to the effect of policy quality on service quality through intervening employee performance quality related to the Probolinggo Siaga 112 City program in handling emergency conditions. Research with a descriptive quantitative approach examines the causal relationship between the variables of policy quality, service quality, and employee performance quality. Data was collected from questionnaire techniques on 100 people who met the criteria. The test results explain that Policy Quality is proven to significantly influence the Quality of Employee Performance directly; Quality of Employee Performance is proven to significantly influence Service Quality directly; and Policy Quality is proven to significantly influence Service Quality directly. And there is an indirect effect, namely the Quality of Employee Performance is proven to be intervening in influencing the Quality of Policy on Service Quality.
