Abstract

Administrative discretion is essential in public administration because government officials must often respond to concrete problems, regulatory gaps, urgent situations, and administrative stagnation that cannot be fully addressed through rigid legal rules. In Indonesia, discretionary authority is formally recognized under Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration as a lawful mechanism to maintain responsive governmental action. However, discretion also creates a risk of abuse of authority when it is exercised beyond its legal purpose, detached from public interest, or conducted without accountability and adherence to the General Principles of Good Governance. This study aims to analyze the legal position of administrative discretion in Indonesian public administration, examine its potential transformation into abuse of authority, and formulate a balanced legal and governance framework for controlling discretionary power. This research employs normative legal research supported by a conceptual public administration approach through statutory, conceptual, and analytical methods. The study finds that discretion is indispensable for adaptive governance, but its legitimacy depends on clear legal boundaries, transparent reasoning, proper documentation, effective oversight, and a precise distinction between lawful discretion and unlawful misuse of authority. This article concludes that strengthening these safeguards is necessary to support responsive, accountable, and rule-based governance in Indonesia

Abstract

A This study analyzes administrative discretion in public policy implementation in Indonesia from legal and administrative perspectives. Discretion is an essential instrument in government administration because public officials often face legal gaps, unclear norms, urgent public needs, and complex implementation contexts that cannot always be fully regulated by written laws. However, discretion also creates legal risks when it is exercised beyond the scope of authority, contrary to the purpose of authority, in violation of procedures, or without adequate accountability. This study uses normative juridical research with a qualitative approach, applying statutory and conceptual approaches. The analysis focuses on Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration, administrative law principles, public policy implementation, abuse of authority, accountability, and the protection of citizens’ rights. The findings show that discretion has a dual position. On the one hand, it functions as an instrument of administrative responsiveness in policy implementation. On the other hand, it may become a source of abuse of authority if it is not controlled by legality, public interest, proportionality, accountability, and the general principles of good governance. Therefore, administrative discretion must be regulated, documented, supervised, and open to legal and administrative review. This study contributes to administrative law and public policy studies by offering an integrated legal-administrative framework for understanding discretion as both a public authority and an administrative instrument in Indonesian public administration.

Abstract

Public service is a strategic arena where governmental authority intersects with citizens' rights. Consequently, the quality of public services is strongly influenced by legal certainty, bureaucratic accountability, transparency, public participation, and the effectiveness of oversight mechanisms. This study aims to analyze the relationship between public policy advocacy, public service delivery, and administrative law, as well as to formulate an administrative law-based policy advocacy model for strengthening public services and preventing maladministration. The research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method based on national and international scientific journal articles published between 2016 and 2026, supported by relevant laws, regulations, and official documents. The data were analyzed using thematic content analysis through the stages of data reduction, categorization, interpretation, comparison, and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that maladministration in public service is not solely caused by individual errors of public officials but is also influenced by regulatory weaknesses, unclear distribution of authority, ineffective procedures, limited resources, poor communication, weak oversight, and restricted public access to complaint mechanisms. Administrative law serves as the legal foundation for legitimizing, limiting, supervising, and ensuring accountability in the exercise of governmental authority, while policy advocacy functions to transform public grievances into evidence, policy agendas, and demands for institutional reform. This study proposes a six-stage policy advocacy model consisting of: (1) identification of public service problems, (2) classification of maladministration, (3) administrative law analysis, (4) formation of advocacy coalitions, (5) implementation of integrated advocacy strategies, and (6) institutionalization and monitoring of policy changes. The proposed model emphasizes that improving public service quality requires the integration of administrative capacity, legal compliance, public participation, advocacy coalitions, Ombudsman oversight, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Therefore, preventing maladministration cannot rely solely on bureaucratic innovation and digital transformation but must also be supported by strengthening citizens' rights, enhancing government transparency, and institutionalizing advocacy outcomes into regulations, service standards, complaint systems, and public service performance evaluation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of policy evaluation in the preparation of the Regional Government Work Plan (RKPD), with a focus on the integration of performance monitoring and assessment results into annual development planning. This study uses a literature review approach to analyze various theories of policy evaluation, regional planning systems, and institutional dynamics that influence the utilization of evaluation results at the regional government level, particularly in Banten Province. The results show that evaluation models such as CIPP, objective-based evaluation, and utilization-focused evaluation have the potential to strengthen the quality of RKPD planning if systematically integrated. However, various structural, cultural, and technical barriers hinder the optimal utilization of evaluation results, including a lack of human resource capacity, weak performance information systems, and a low evaluative culture within the regional bureaucracy. This study concludes that the success of annual development planning depends heavily on the extent to which evaluation serves as the basis for developing programs and activities. This study recommends strengthening regulations, digitizing evaluation-planning systems, and building the capacity of civil servants (ASN) to encourage more evidence-based and results-oriented regional development governance.

Abstract

Kualitas pelayanan publik tidak hanya ditentukan oleh ketersediaan sumber daya, regulasi, dan teknologi, tetapi juga oleh efektivitas komunikasi organisasi dalam menghubungkan kebijakan, aparatur, unit kerja, dan masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran komunikasi organisasi dalam meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan publik, mengidentifikasi bentuk komunikasi internal dan eksternal, serta mengkaji faktor pendukung dan penghambatnya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kepustakaan terhadap literatur akademik, laporan resmi, regulasi, dan penelitian terdahulu yang relevan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi internal melalui pola vertikal, horizontal, dan diagonal memperkuat koordinasi, konsistensi prosedur, serta dimensi reliability dan responsiveness. Komunikasi eksternal yang terbuka, partisipatif, dan responsif memperkuat transparansi, assurance, empathy, serta kepercayaan masyarakat. Efektivitas komunikasi dipengaruhi oleh kepemimpinan, budaya organisasi, kompetensi aparatur, teknologi, koordinasi, dan standar komunikasi pelayanan. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa komunikasi organisasi merupakan mekanisme integratif yang menghubungkan kapasitas internal birokrasi dengan pengalaman pelayanan masyarakat.

Abstract

Sistem Administrasi Negara Republik Indonesia (SANRI) merupakan fondasi penyelenggaraan pemerintahan yang terus mengalami perubahan seiring dengan perkembangan reformasi birokrasi, desentralisasi, digitalisasi, dan tuntutan tata kelola pemerintahan modern. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis posisi SANRI dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan, mengkaji dinamika reformasi birokrasi, mengidentifikasi berbagai hambatan transformasi, serta menjelaskan hubungan timbal balik antara SANRI dan reformasi birokrasi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kepustakaan melalui penelaahan literatur ilmiah, regulasi, dokumen kebijakan, dan laporan lembaga resmi. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis isi dan analisis tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa reformasi birokrasi merupakan mekanisme transformasi sistemik terhadap SANRI melalui dimensi struktural, fungsional, kultural, dan digital. Transformasi tersebut masih menghadapi tumpang tindih kewenangan, lemahnya koordinasi, budaya birokrasi yang hierarkis, belum optimalnya sistem merit, resistensi aparatur, serta fragmentasi digital. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa penguatan SANRI dan reformasi birokrasi harus dilaksanakan secara terpadu untuk mewujudkan pemerintahan yang efektif, akuntabel, adaptif, kolaboratif, dan berorientasi pada kepentingan masyarakat

Abstract

The development of information technology has encouraged governments around the world to transform their bureaucratic systems toward a digital government model. In Indonesia, one of the strategic initiatives undertaken is the implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (Sistem Pemerintahan Berbasis Elektronik/SPBE) as regulated under Presidential Regulation Number 95 of 2018. This policy aims to improve effectiveness, efficiency, integration, transparency, and accountability in public administration and public service delivery. However, the implementation of SPBE continues to face various challenges, including infrastructure readiness, civil servant competencies, inter-agency coordination, as well as issues related to legality, data protection, and legal accountability. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the SPBE policy is necessary, not only from the perspective of Public Administration but also from the perspective of Administrative Law. This study aims to: (1) analyze the implementation of SPBE policy within the context of Public Administration; (2) examine the legal foundations and application of Administrative Law principles in the implementation of SPBE; and (3) comprehensively analyze SPBE policy from the perspectives of both Public Administration and Administrative Law. The study is theoretically grounded in classical bureaucracy theory, New Public Management, governance theory, and digital bureaucracy concepts, as well as principles of Administrative Law, including legality, the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB), administrative discretion, personal data protection, and legal accountability. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach. Data are collected from laws and regulations, official government policy documents, SPBE evaluation reports, academic books, national and international journals, and previous studies. Data analysis is conducted through descriptive analysis, content analysis, and comparative-conceptual analysis to critically and integratively connect theoretical perspectives with policy implementation.This research is expected to contribute theoretically to strengthening the study of Public Administration and Administrative Law in the context of digital bureaucratic transformation. Practically, the findings are expected to serve as a reference for the formulation and improvement of SPBE policies to ensure greater effectiveness, legality, accountability, and public service orientation. The output of this research is planned to be published in an accredited national journal to generate broader academic and practical impacts
