Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effect of the employee performance allowance, locally known as Tambahan Penghasilan Pegawai (TPP), on human resource productivity and employee welfare among civil servants at the Agency for Apparatus Resource Development or Balai Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Air (BPSDA) of Papua Province, and tests whether productivity mediates the relationship between the allowance and welfare. Research Methodology: A quantitative approach was applied to all 60 civil servants at BPSDA using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed with simple linear regression, path analysis, and the Sobel test using SPSS version 24.Results: The performance allowance had a positive and significant effect on productivity, but no significant direct effect on welfare. Productivity had a positive and significant effect on welfare, and productivity significantly mediated the relationship between the allowance and welfare, with the indirect effect exceeding the direct effect.Conclusions: The performance allowance improves employee welfare mainly through the channel of productivity rather than through a direct income effect.Limitations: The cross-sectional design, the single-institution sample, and reliance on perception data restrict generalizability. Contributions: The study offers empirical evidence for performance-based compensation policy in a remote provincial civil service and extends human capital and motivation theory to a Papuan public-sector setting.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how Village Fund (Dana Desa) management in Helaksili Village, Yalimo Regency, Papua Mountains Province, contributes to community economic empowerment through physical infrastructure, community empowerment programs, and household income improvement. Methodology: A descriptive mixed-methods approach was employed, combining budget effectiveness analysis using the Kepmendagri No. 690.900.327/1996 ratio, a five-point Likert survey of 20 household respondents, and SWOT analysis. Data were obtained from the 2025 Village Budget (APBK) and official financial records using purposive sampling. Results: Budget realization reached 100%, indicating Very Effective performance. Village construction (35.03%) and governance (29.93%) received the largest allocations. Community perceptions were highest for infrastructure, moderate for empowerment programs, and lowest for household income improvement. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis identified full budget realization as a strength, while high administrative expenditure and the absence of outcome-based indicators remained key weaknesses. Conclusions: Village Fund management was procedurally effective but substantively limited, indicating that budget absorption alone does not guarantee community welfare improvement.Limitations: The single-village setting, small sample (n = 20), and lack of baseline data limit generalizability and causal inference. Contributions: This study extends Village Fund research to Papua's remote highland context and introduces the proceduralsubstantive effectiveness gap as a framework for evaluating fiscal transfer programs and informing outcome-based rural development policies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effectiveness of regional education expenditure management in Yalimo Regency, one of the most geographically isolated districts in Papua Mountains Province, Indonesia, where consecutive budget increases have coincided with only marginal gains in education quality. Methodology: A mixed methods design combined quantitative analysis of education budget realization data from 2021 to 2025, sourced from the regional financial and asset management agency of Yalimo Regency, with a phenomenological inquiry involving ten key informants, analyzed through the Colaizzi-Moustakas protocol. Results: Total education spending grew from IDR 70.8 billion in 2021 to IDR 161.3 billion in 2024 before contracting by 19.15% in 2025. Capital expenditure achieved 96.54% average effectiveness, while operational expenditure averaged only 69.94%, a 26.6 percentage point gap. Phenomenological analysis identified four inhibiting factors, geographic barriers, administrative fear syndrome, subsistence driven discount rates, and teacher welfare deficits, alongside three enabling factors, political commitment, the Special Autonomy Fund, and traditional leadership. Conclusions: Yalimo exhibits a hollow infrastructure problem in which strong capital execution coexists with chronic operational underperformance, extending displacement effect theory to structural geographic barriers and revealing a stewardship paradox in which punitive audit systems discourage execution. Limitations: The single regency scope and one fiscal cycle window restrict generalizability to other highland districts. Contributions: The study extends displacement effect and stewardship theory to fragile remote governance contexts and offers evidence based policy guidance for reforming education expenditure management in underdeveloped frontier districts across Indonesia.
