<![CDATA[The performance of leadership is important in determining the quality of public services, especially around family planning programs that require good coordination and delivery of services oriented to citizens. Yet, empirical evidence on how leadership performance contributes to the quality of public services at the local government level is still limited. This study aims to examine the effect of leadership performance on public service quality in family planning services at the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for Population Control, Family Planning, Women's Empowerment, and Child Protection in Bongas District, Indramayu Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative explanatory approach was applied, with a survey of 85 respondents who were service users. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests and path analysis. The results of the description indicated that the performance of leadership was perceived as good with a mean score of 3.77 in total. The quality of public service also achieved a good category with a mean score of 3.95 in total. The results of hypothesis testing show that leadership performance has a positive and significant effect on the quality of public services (F = 85.412, p < 0.001). The contribution of leadership performance to the quality of public services is 94.7% (R2 = 0.947). The results show that improving the leadership capabilities in work planning, implementation, work quality and target accomplishment can significantly improve the quality of public services. The study provides empirical evidence to justify leadership development as a strategic strategy for improving the effectiveness of family planning services in local government institutions.]]>

<![CDATA[The motivation of employees is a known factor of organizational performance. However, there is still a lack of empirical evidence on the relative contribution of different motivational dimensions to employee performance in public sector organizations. This study examines the role of five dimensions of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, i.e. physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs to employee performance in the Department of Education and Culture of Indramayu Regency, Indonesia. The study used a quantitative research design where data was collected through survey, structured questionnaires from 54 employees. The validity and reliability of the research instrument was established before data analysis. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the contribution of each motivational dimension to employee performance. The results indicated that the five dimensions of motivation together contribute to employee performance, with esteem needs having the highest contribution among the motivation dimensions. The findings pointed out the importance of applying comprehensive motivational approaches that address the employees’ physiological, safety, social, esteem and self-actualisation need to improve employee performance. This study is a contribution to the application of Maslow's motivational theory in the public sector and has practical implications for human resource management in government institutions.]]>
