Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Provincial Government's policy in implementing strategic policies in workforce development. The main focus of this policy includes reducing unemployment, creating harmonious industrial relations, and developing productive transmigration areas. This study uses a comparative descriptive method with a qualitative approach and uses library research to obtain secondary data. The results of the study indicate that in 2022, the number of workers in NTB will reach 2.79 million people, with 2.71 million of them already employed, so that the unemployment rate will decrease to 2.98 percent, exceeding the RPJMD target of 3.17 percent. However, with the addition of more than 50 thousand new workers each year, a special strategy is needed to create more jobs. The NTB Manpower and Transmigration Office has established six strategic steps to overcome unemployment, including workforce planning, improving human resource competency through vocational training, workforce placement and empowerment, social protection for workers, workforce development and supervision, and implementation of presidential regulations regarding the Integrated Plus Workforce Training and Empowerment Program (PePaDu Plus).

Abstract

Internal oversight is an important instrument in ensuring accountability and transparency in regional government administration. The Regional Inspectorate, as the Government Internal Oversight Agency (APIP), has a strategic role in overseeing the effectiveness of governance, particularly through follow-up on audit results. This study aims to analyse the implementation of follow-up actions on audit findings by the Inspectorate in Central Maluku Regency and to identify the determining factors that influence it. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through interviews, documentation, and observation, and then analysed descriptively. .The results of the study show that although the regulatory framework is in place, the implementation of follow-up recommendations has not been optimal. The average follow-up completion rate in Central Maluku Regency is 70-75 per cent, with variations between OPDs. Some OPDs have shown a good response, but others are still below 60 per cent. The implementation of TLHP still faces obstacles in the form of differences in compliance levels between OPDs, which are influenced by the weak commitment of some OPD leaders, limited resources, a lack of technical understanding, and the minimal application of sanctions, where the quality of follow-up is still largely administrative in nature. Factors influencing this achievement include Human Resource Capacity, Internal Administration and Management Systems, Commitment of OPD Leaders, and Sanctions and Rewards (Incentives). These conditions emphasise the importance of strengthening the capacity of the Inspectorate, proactive leadership, and the use of information systems to ensure higher quality and more targeted follow-up, as well as the application of sanctions and rewards, thereby improving the overall accountability and performance of local government. This study confirms that the effectiveness of oversight is not only determined by the quality of audits, but also by political will, organisational culture, and the sustainability of monitoring mechanisms. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the capacity of the Inspectorate, apply strict sanctions, and foster a culture of accountability to encourage improvements in local government governance.

Abstract

This study analyzes the governance of the 2024 elections in terms of transparency and accountability of the Central Maluku Regency KPU. The results show that the governance of the 2024 elections in Central Maluku Regency, from the perspectives of transparency and accountability, can be described as follows. First, the implementation of the elections in Central Maluku Regency has shown a fairly good level of transparency. This is evident from the openness of information to the public, the involvement of various stakeholders, and the ease of public access to data and the processes of each stage of the elections. The Central Maluku Regency KPU has consistently applied the principle of openness from the stage of updating voter data and recruiting ad hoc bodies to the announcement and recapitulation of voting results. Second, the institutional accountability of the election organizers has been carried out in accordance with applicable regulations, through administrative, financial, and ethical accountability mechanisms supervised by internal and external supervisory bodies such as Bawaslu and DKPP. The performance of the KPU and Bawaslu also shows good synergy in monitoring stages and handling violations, although there are still obstacles in technical aspects, especially in reporting and the consistency of monitoring results documentation. However, strengthening is still needed in information systems, internal supervision, and the technical capacity of organizers in the field. Therefore, recommendations for improvement can be made to strengthen the governance of future elections by strengthening regulations and compliance, optimizing public information disclosure, improving human resource competencies, and strengthening participatory oversight and inter-agency collaboration.

Abstract

This study examines a phenomenon that has become increasingly common in recent times—digital-based bullying, or cyberbullying, which frequently occurs on social media platforms. The purpose of this study is to identify the various forms of cyberbullying, explore its underlying causes, and evaluate its impacts on victims—particularly children and adolescents. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observations of social media activities, as well as reviews of academic journals, media reports, and government policy documents. The findings indicate several prevalent forms of cyberbullying, including insults, hoax dissemination, verbal harassment, physical appearance-related comments (body shaming), and doxing. The main contributing factors to these behaviors include the anonymity provided by the digital world, low understanding of digital ethics and literacy, a lack of empathy, peer group influence, and a history of being victims of bullying. The impacts of cyberbullying are quite serious, manifesting in mental health issues, excessive anxiety, heightened insecurity, decreased motivation for life, and lower academic performance. Therefore, addressing this issue requires collaborative efforts among various parties—families, educational institutions, communities, social media providers, and government agencies. Preventive measures can be implemented through digital ethics education and the enhancement of social literacy to create a healthier and safer digital environment for children and adolescents

Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of e-government through public service innovation in Sinjai Regency. Digital transformation is crucial in public services to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of local governments. The research method used is a qualitative approach with an explanatory type. The novelty of this study lies in a comprehensive analysis using six determinant indicators—communication infrastructure, connectivity and IT use, human resources, budget, legal instruments, and paradigm shifts—to dissect the complexity of digitalization at the local government level. The results show that e-government implementation in Sinjai Regency has been realized through various application innovations such as SIPPADAI, SIMPELMI, and SIPAKAINGE. Despite being supported by Regent Regulation Number 48 of 2023 and the commitment of regional leaders, its implementation still faces significant obstacles such as limited ICT infrastructure, low digital literacy, budget constraints, and resistance to digital paradigm shifts among employees. This study provides practical and theoretical contributions as an in-depth evaluation instrument for the implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) at the district level, while also serving as a strategic reference in mapping the structural barriers to digital transformation in the region.

Abstract

The flow of globalization and the development of information technology encourage the government to adopt digital-based public services, including community complaint channels. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the digital complaint system in the Government of Passo Village, Teluk Ambon Baguala District, Ambon City, and to identify the challenges faced. The method used is a descriptive, qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis applies the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results indicate that the digital complaint system has the potential to enhance transparency, accountability, and public participation. This system facilitates reporting access, accelerates follow-up actions, and provides structured data as a basis for policy formulation. However, its implementation still faces obstacles, including limited technological infrastructure, low public digital literacy, suboptimal capacity among officials, and a weak culture of public participation. These findings emphasize that the success of the digital complaint system at the village level requires a holistic approach that strengthens infrastructure, enhances officials' competence, develops digital literacy, and fosters a participatory culture. That integrative strategy is important so that the digital complaint system can function effectively in improving the quality of public services and local governance.

Abstract

This research examines the application of good governance principles in financial management at the BPKAD of Maluku Province, focusing on public participation, transparency, accountability, effectiveness, efficiency, and the rule of law. Conceptually, governance is understood as a collaborative process between the state and non-state actors, with key principles emphasizing transparency, accountability, participation, rule of law, effectiveness, and efficiency. The legal framework refers to Law 17/2003, Law 1/2004, Government Regulation 12/2019, and Minister of Home Affairs Regulation 77/2020. The method used is qualitative, based on interviews, observations, and document analysis, and is analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The study results show that the implementation of good governance has been normatively pursued through the digitization of the financial system, the application of e-budgeting and e-procurement, and BPK supervision. However, practices remain predominantly procedural: low fiscal independence, routine spending dominance, weak audit follow-up, limited public literacy, and participation tends to be formalistic as per Arnstein's concept of tokenism. Obstacles are also related to technological readiness, the apparatus's capacity, and the pattern of incremental budgeting. In conclusion, the regional financial governance in Maluku shows structural progress but is not yet substantively optimal. Strengthening human resource capacity, consistency in law enforcement, expanding participation channels, and accelerating digitalization are necessary to enhance fiscal integrity and promote public financial reform in the context of regional autonomy.

Abstract

Infrastructure development in the mountainous areas of Elpaputih District, West Seram Regency, faces complex challenges related to geography, institutional capacity, and limited resources. This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by the local government in planning, implementing, and supervising infrastructure development, and to identify the key factors influencing their effectiveness. The research adopts a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, field observations, and a review of planning documents and regional development reports. The findings reveal that the local government's development strategy is combinative, integrating formal, document-based planning (top-down) with emergent strategies derived from community needs and on-site conditions (bottom-up). The capacity of local actors and the quality of cross-sectoral coordination are crucial determinants of implementation success. However, the supervision mechanisms still encounter obstacles, particularly in technical monitoring and reporting systems, especially in remote mountainous villages with limited accessibility. This study concludes that the effectiveness of infrastructure development in Elpaputih District is strongly influenced by the adaptability of local government strategies, the strength of inter-actor collaboration, and the enhancement of local capacity. The study recommends strengthening participatory planning, improving field supervision through technology-based monitoring, and establishing sustainable coordination mechanisms to ensure more responsive and resilient infrastructure development.
