<![CDATA[Maladministration in public service delivery remains a critical issue in establishing a responsive and accountable bureaucracy. The Indonesian Ombudsman serves as an oversight institution tasked with addressing public complaints related to suspected administrative misconduct.

The research was conducted at the East Java Regional Office of the Indonesian Ombudsman. Field findings indicate that the effectiveness of maladministration complaint handling still encounters several challenges, including limited resources, low public participation, and suboptimal coordination among related institutions.
