Abstract

Abstract The sub-district performance evaluation on general government affairs implementation in Sleman Regency of 2021-2023 is a study focuses on the implementation of the municipality's duties and functions in the general government affairs of the Sleman district. There are three major issues with the district's implementation of general government affairs. First, the sub-district as a regional government agency that has territorial aspects but does not hold a position as the authority or regional head of the territory and is not a sectoral administrator such as technical government agency or department in the regional government structure. Second, public service authorities in the sub-district sector have been greatly reduced by using digital government platforms. Third, the village's government functions are geographically located within the sub-district area. Among these issues, it is important to know the performance of the general government affairs in the sub-district of Sleman in order to strengthen the strategic role of sub-districts in regional government. The study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach by collecting data on the implementation of general government affairs in 17 (seven) sub-districts in the Sleman Regency during the period 2021–2023, through observations, surveys, and in-depth interviews. Data analysis techniques use describtive analysis methods to describe and analyze research results. The study's findings indicate that the sub-district's performance of the implementation on general government affairs was lower when compared to the performance of the sub-district as government agency. The performance of sub-distric general government affairs is influenced by collaborative leadership and the implementation of mitigation, facilitation, mediation, supervision, and advocacy functions.

Abstract

Although dynamic capability theory has been widely applied in private-sector organizations, its use in non-Western public-sector contexts remains limited. Existing studies have paid limited attention to how culturally embedded norms shape the microfoundations of sensing, seizing, and transforming in public problem-solving processes. This study examines how institutionalized interpretations of Javanese norms, particularly unggah-ungguh (hierarchical subordination) and sendiko dawuh (obedience to authority), influence the enactment of dynamic capabilities in local government bureaucracy. Using an explanatory qualitative multi-case study of 17 sub-districts (Kapanewon) in Sleman Regency, Indonesia, this research draws on document analysis, focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and field observations conducted between 2021 and 2025. The findings revealed uneven enactment of sensing, seizing, and transforming capabilities across sub-districts. Hierarchical cultural norms tend to encourage reactive, complaint-driven sensing rather than proactive environmental scanning, constrain seizing by prioritizing procedural compliance over innovation, and limit transforming to incremental structural adjustments that emerge mainly under strong and legitimate leadership. This study contributes to the public administration literature by demonstrating that culture functions not merely as a contextual background but also as a conditioning mechanism that simultaneously enables bureaucratic coordination and constrains organizational learning and bottom-up innovation. The study extends dynamic capability theory by incorporating culturally mediated hierarchy as a conditional factor that shapes adaptive governance in public bureaucracies. It also enriches street-level bureaucracy scholarship by highlighting the role of meso-level leaders (Panewu) as cultural brokers navigating tensions between authority and adaptive responsiveness.
