Abstract

This study investigated the relationships among perceived organizational politics (POP), transformational leadership (TL), innovative work behavior (IWB), and job satisfaction (JS) in the public sector, with JS as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 657 civil servants of the Kupang City Government using a validated, closed-ended questionnaire on a five-point Likert scale. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the proposed relationships. The results disclosed that perceived organizational politics had a significant negative effect on job satisfaction (β = −0.211, p < 0.001) and innovative work behavior (β = −0.247, p < 0.001). In contrast, transformational leadership demonstrated a strong positive influence on job satisfaction (β = 0.684, p < 0.001) and a positive direct effect on innovative work behavior (β = 0.222, p < 0.001). Job satisfaction also significantly enhanced innovative work behavior (β = 0.223, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis indicated that job satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between perceived organizational politics and innovative work behavior (indirect effect β = −0.047, p = 0.001) and between transformational leadership and innovative work behavior (indirect effect β = 0.153, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that job satisfaction plays a crucial role in buffering the negative consequences of organizational politics and strengthening the positive impact of transformational leadership on innovation. This study contributes to public sector innovation literature by empirically demonstrating how leadership and job attitudes shape innovative behavior within a politically nuanced bureaucratic context.

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is a national strategic initiative aimed at improving students’ nutritional status and strengthening human resource quality. However, the large budget allocation and implementation complexity require effective, transparent, and accountable governance. This study aims to analyze the governance of the MBG Program in Kupang City based on management, transparency, and accountability aspects. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, including representatives from the Education Office, SPPG, schools, and student beneficiaries. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model and validated through source, technique, and time triangulation. The findings indicate that administratively the program implementation complies with technical guidelines; however, substantive gaps remain. Menu planning is centralized and minimally participatory, procurement and distribution mechanisms have not fully met transparency and quality control standards, student socialization is limited, and reporting as well as complaint handling systems remain internally oriented and insufficiently documented. Therefore, the governance of the MBG Program in Kupang City is still predominantly administrative in nature and requires strengthened participation, transparency, and integrated oversight systems to ensure sustainable impacts on students’ nutritional improvement.

Abstract

This research aims to identify and understand the barriers affecting public sector employees' innovative behaviors, particularly examining how these obstacles differ across stages of innovation and between genders. Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research involved in-depth interviews with 40 informants from six agencies in Kupang City and Kupang Regency. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis techniques, revealing eleven major barriers categorized into political-administrative leadership, public management, and individual factors. Political-administrative barriers include insufficient support from political actors and a restrictive organizational climate. Public management challenges encompass a risk-averse culture, weak interdepartmental collaboration, limited knowledge sharing, bureaucratic constraints, and regulatory rigidity that restricts creative ideas perceived as "out of the box." Another key finding highlights the demotivating effect of redundant local digital innovations replaced by centrally mandated platforms, fostering employee frustration and discouragement. Individual barriers identified include a lack of expertise, limited access to policymakers, and significant gender-related issues such as patriarchy, stereotypes, and domestic responsibilities. The study highlights its novelty by uncovering how regional contextual factors, especially gender dynamics, uniquely shape barriers to innovation. This study uniquely contributes to the literature by specifically examining barriers to innovative work behavior (IWB) in the under-researched context of Eastern Indonesia, focusing on both innovation stages and gender differences.

Abstract

This study examines how social, cultural, and institutional configurations shape women’s participation in community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) in coastal Kupang, Indonesia. Despite formal commitments to gender inclusion in disaster governance, women’s participation remains uneven and highly context-dependent. Using a qualitative comparative case study of Kelurahan Lasiana and Kelurahan Oesapa Barat, the research draws on in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and document analysis to explore multi-layered participation dynamics. The findings reveal that entrenched gender norms, time poverty, and hierarchical power relations continue to limit women’s engagement in CBDRR. In both communities, caregiving responsibilities and mobility restrictions reinforce women’s peripheral roles in formal DRR spaces. Cultural configurations act as a double-edged sword: while women’s local knowledge is widely valued informally, patriarchal authority structures and conservative adat and religious narratives constrain their leadership and decision-making influence. Institutionally, a significant gap persists between formal participation mandates and substantive influence. However, Lasiana demonstrates greater progress through supportive leadership, cultural reframing, and participatory innovations such as community mapping and oral histories. In contrast, Oesapa Barat exhibits more rigid cultural scripts and institutional inertia that confine women’s roles to symbolic functions. This study’s novelty lies in its integrative analytical framework and comparative design. It offers new insights into how enabling and constraining dynamics interact across social, cultural, and institutional domains to shape gendered resilience governance
