Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study examines the influence of healthcare worker performance on patient satisfaction at Masohi Regional General Hospital, Central Maluku Regency, by positioning hospital care as a public service interaction shaped by social relations, patient perceptions, communication, and trust. Methodology: This study used a quantitative explanatory design. Data were collected from 50 patients through accidental sampling using a structured questionnaire measured with a five-point Likert scale. Validity and reliability testing, simple linear regression, t-test, and coefficient of determination analysis were conducted using statistical software. Main Findings: The findings show that healthcare worker performance has a positive and statistically significant influence on patient satisfaction. This result indicates that patient satisfaction is not only a managerial indicator, but also a social expression of trust, perceived fairness, respect, responsiveness, and the quality of interaction between citizens and public service providers. In a regional public hospital, timely service, empathy, clear communication, and professional behavior shape patients' experiences of access, dignity, and confidence in public institutions. Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study contributes to social science and public administration literature by interpreting patient satisfaction as a social outcome of public service relations rather than merely a medical service indicator. It provides contextual evidence from a regional public hospital in eastern Indonesia, where resource limitations, post-pandemic pressures, and unequal access shape patient experiences and expectations.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of leadership style on public service at the Teluk Ambon District Office, Ambon City. The research was motivated by practical service problems at the district level, including uneven implementation of frontliner service procedures, varying employee discipline, and weak coordination among organizational units. A quantitative survey design was applied to test the causal relationship between leadership style and public service quality. Data were collected from 50 respondents consisting of 24 district employees and 26 community service users through structured questionnaires supported by observation, interviews, and documentation. Leadership style was measured through decision-making ability, motivational ability, subordinate control, and emotional control, whereas public service quality was measured using the SERVQUAL dimensions of tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The data were processed using IBM SPSS with validity, reliability, normality, simple linear regression, t-test, and coefficient of determination procedures. The findings show that all questionnaire items were valid and reliable. The regression model produced a positive coefficient, a standardized beta of 0.906, and an R Square value of 0.820, indicating that leadership style explained 82.0% of the variation in public service quality. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on district-level public service governance in an archipelagic urban context, where leadership is not only administrative but also coordinative and adaptive. The study implies that stronger leadership supervision, staff arrangement, and service discipline are necessary to improve the consistency of public service delivery.

Abstract

Public service quality in population administration is a strategic indicator of local bureaucratic performance because it directly affects citizens' administrative rights and trust in government. This study aims to analyze the quality of public services at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Central Halmahera Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the head of office, service staff, and community service users. The analysis used the SERVQUAL framework, covering tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The findings indicate that public service quality is generally adequate. Service facilities and infrastructure are available, procedures are implemented, officers respond to community needs, and the public feels relatively safe and confident in the legality of issued documents. However, several weaknesses remain, including limited waiting-room capacity, unstable internet connectivity, and inconsistent service performance during periods of high demand. The study implies that improving population administration services requires strengthening service infrastructure, stabilizing digital systems, enhancing staff professionalism, and expanding outreach services for remote communities. These findings contribute to public administration studies by emphasizing the importance of combining service standards, technological readiness, and human-centered service culture in peripheral local government contexts.
