Abstract

Indonesia’s aspiration to achieve the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision depends not only on economic growth and demographic advantage, but also on the quality of leadership that will guide public institutions, political processes, and social transformation in the coming decades. As Indonesia approaches the centennial of its independence, the country is expected to benefit from a large productive-age population. However, demographic advantage does not automatically produce national progress. It must be converted into human capital, civic competence, institutional trust, and leadership capacity. This article examines how the younger generation can be prepared as future leaders for Golden Indonesia 2045. Using a qualitative literature-based method, this study synthesises academic literature, policy documents, and conceptual perspectives on youth leadership, political participation, demographic dividend, digital governance, and public sector transformation. The findings indicate that youth leadership readiness requires more than generational replacement. It demands the development of agile, ethical, participatory, innovative, and digitally adaptive leadership capabilities. This article proposes the ADAPTIVE Youth Leadership Framework, consisting of agile governance orientation, democratic participation, accountability and integrity, policy innovation, technological literacy, inclusive collaboration, visionary resilience, and ethical public value creation. The study concludes that youth participation in politics and public governance must be institutionally supported through leadership education, civic engagement platforms, intergenerational collaboration, digital governance mechanisms, and transparent recruitment into strategic public roles. The article contributes to public administration and political leadership studies by linking demographic dividend discourse with youth leadership capacity and democratic governance transformation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Teacher performance remains a central issue in early childhood education because teachers are not merely instructional agents but also emotional, social, and developmental facilitators for young children. In kindergarten settings, professional performance is shaped not only by pedagogical competence and institutional support but also by psychological factors, particularly motivation, emotional maturity, patience, and commitment to child-centred learning. This study aims to explore how psychological aspects, especially teacher motivation, support teacher performance in an Indonesian kindergarten context. Using a naturalistic qualitative approach, the study was conducted at Sakinah I Kindergarten, Sukabumi Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and documentation involving kindergarten teachers and the school principal. The findings indicate that teacher performance was perceived as very good, as reflected in institutional achievements, teacher awards, sustained accreditation performance, adaptive teaching practices during the Covid-19 pandemic, and continuous communication with parents. Teacher motivation emerged through several intrinsic and prosocial dimensions, including enjoyment in teaching young children, creativity, emotional resilience, patience, meaningful relationships with pupils, and a moral sense of educational service. The study argues that motivation functions as an internal psychological resource that enables teachers to maintain performance, adapt pedagogically, and sustain emotional engagement in early childhood education. The findings contribute to discussions on teacher motivation, professional performance, and educational quality in early childhood institutions, particularly in under-researched local Indonesian contexts.

Abstract

This article examines the comparative public administration of Brunei Darussalam and Saudi Arabia, two Islamic monarchies that share important institutional similarities while demonstrating distinctive administrative trajectories. Although both countries are characterised by centralised monarchical authority, Islamic legitimacy, and resource-supported state capacity, their administrative systems differ in scale, historical formation, legal-institutional configuration, and reform orientation. Using a qualitative descriptive method based on documentary analysis and comparative literature review, this study analyses four major dimensions: the form of state, the form of government, the governmental system, and the political system. The article is conceptually informed by comparative public administration and Fred W. Riggs’ administrative ecology, which emphasises the interaction between administrative institutions and their socio-cultural, political, economic, and historical environments. The findings show that Brunei Darussalam institutionalises governance through the philosophy of Malay Islamic Monarchy, which integrates Malay identity, Islamic values, and sultanate authority. Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, derives its administrative legitimacy from the Basic Law of Governance, Sharia, dynastic rule, and consultative mechanisms involving the Council of Ministers, the Shura Council, and religious authority. The study concludes that both countries represent centralised Islamic-monarchical administrative systems, yet Brunei tends to display a smaller-scale paternalistic administrative model, while Saudi Arabia demonstrates a larger, reform-oriented, strategically modernising monarchical administration under Vision 2030.

Abstract

The transition toward low-carbon urban energy systems has increasingly positioned smart grids as strategic infrastructures for sustainability, efficiency, resilience, and public service innovation. However, the implementation of smart grids is not merely a technical matter of deploying sensors, smart meters, distributed energy resources, artificial intelligence, and digital control systems. It is also a governance challenge involving public legitimacy, institutional coordination, social equity, data protection, citizen participation, affordability, and the creation of public value. Many urban communities, particularly low-income and digitally marginalized groups, may experience the smart grid transition unevenly if policy design prioritizes technological optimization while neglecting distributional justice and procedural inclusion. This article develops a conceptual policy framework for smart grid governance that links electrical engineering innovation with public value creation and equitable energy transition. Using an integrative conceptual review, the study synthesizes literature on smart grid governance, energy justice, public value governance, smart city governance, and digital energy systems. The result is the proposed Equitable Smart Grid Public Value Framework, consisting of five interrelated governance pillars: equity-centered infrastructure planning, participatory energy governance, accountable data governance, adaptive regulatory capacity, and resilient public service delivery. The framework argues that smart grids should be governed not only as intelligent technical networks but also as public value infrastructures that must improve fairness, affordability, transparency, resilience, and citizen empowerment. The article contributes to interdisciplinary debate by integrating electrical engineering, public administration, energy policy, and urban governance perspectives. It also offers practical implications for local governments, utilities, regulators, and urban planners seeking to ensure that smart grid modernization supports a just and inclusive energy transition.

Abstract

Equitable access to essential medicines is a central requirement of universal health coverage, yet it remains a complex governance challenge in many middle-income countries. In Indonesia, the expansion of Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN), the implementation of the National Formulary (Fornas), and the use of electronic procurement mechanisms have strengthened the institutional architecture of pharmaceutical policy. Nevertheless, persistent regional disparities, supply-chain constraints, procurement rigidity, and uneven local implementation capacity suggest that medicines access cannot be understood only as a technical issue of price, stock, or logistics. It is also a public governance issue involving legitimacy, accountability, coordination, equity, and public value creation. This article develops a conceptual policy framework for analysing pharmaceutical governance as a mechanism of public value creation in Indonesia. Using an integrative literature-based policy analysis, the study synthesises scholarship on access to medicines, health-system governance, public value theory, and Indonesian pharmaceutical policy. The article proposes the Pharmaceutical Public Value Governance (PPVG) Framework, consisting of seven interdependent dimensions: ethical priority-setting, evidence-based formulary governance, strategic purchasing, supply-chain resilience, quality assurance, citizen-centred accountability, and intergovernmental data coordination. The framework argues that equitable access to essential medicines is achieved when pharmaceutical systems transform public resources and regulatory authority into collectively valued outcomes: availability, affordability, quality, trust, responsiveness, and social justice. The article contributes to public administration and pharmaceutical policy by reframing medicines access as a public value problem and by offering a policy framework for strengthening equity-oriented pharmaceutical governance in decentralised health systems.
