Abstract

This article examines how open government and electronic government support the localisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Jakarta Provincial Government, Indonesia. Although digital platforms have become central to contemporary public administration, their contribution to sustainable development depends not only on technological availability but also on institutional coordination, data quality, public participation, and accountability. Using a descriptive qualitative case-study design, the article analyses documentary materials, policy instruments, and interview-based evidence from thirteen purposively selected informants representing provincial government units. The study is grounded in the uploaded Indonesian research material on open government and electronic government in the SDGs framework in Jakarta and is strengthened by recent international and Indonesian policy literature on open data, e-governance, and SDG implementation. The findings indicate that Jakarta has institutionalised important elements of open government through Jakarta Open Data, Satu Data Jakarta, smart-city initiatives, and web-based public information services. These platforms increase the visibility of government datasets, strengthen the possibility of evidence-based planning, and create channels through which citizens, researchers, businesses, and civil society organisations can monitor public programmes. However, the impact of these initiatives remains uneven. The main constraints include inconsistent updating of datasets, limited interoperability across agencies, insufficient digital literacy among segments of society, uneven monitoring and evaluation, cybersecurity concerns, and the risk that transparency becomes procedural rather than deliberative. The article argues that open government and electronic government can function as enabling infrastructures for SDG 9, SDG 11, SDG 16, and SDG 17 when they are integrated with participatory planning, high-quality metadata, privacy protection, service co-design, and measurable institutional accountability.

Abstract

This article examines the challenges and opportunities of cross-cultural leadership in Indonesia in the context of Industry 4.0. Indonesia is a particularly important setting for this discussion because its organizational life is shaped simultaneously by ethnic, linguistic, religious, regional, and institutional diversity, while its economic and public sectors are increasingly exposed to digital transformation, automation, artificial intelligence, data-driven decision making, and platform-based coordination. Building on an expanded integrative literature review, this manuscript synthesizes scholarship on cross-cultural leadership, cultural intelligence, digital leadership, transformational leadership, and Industry 4.0, while using an Indonesian-language article on cross-cultural leadership in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era as the foundational source material. The analysis identifies five major challenge clusters: cultural complexity and communication ambiguity, leader self-adaptation and resistance to change, digital capability gaps, tensions between hierarchical leadership traditions and agile innovation, and ethical-trust issues in technologically mediated organizations. The article also identifies six opportunity clusters: diversity-enabled innovation, global and local market responsiveness, inclusive talent development, improved organizational learning, conflict transformation, and long-term sustainability. The central contribution of this article is an integrative framework of culturally intelligent digital leadership, consisting of four mutually reinforcing capabilities: cultural sensemaking, inclusive alignment, adaptive digital orchestration, and ethical learning. The framework suggests that effective leadership in Indonesia's Industry 4.0 context requires more than technical competence or general leadership charisma. It requires the capacity to translate cultural diversity into collaborative intelligence, to govern digital transformation inclusively, and to sustain trust across culturally heterogeneous and technologically mediated work systems.

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

Parliamentary modernisation has become a critical agenda in democratic governance, particularly in contexts where public confidence in representative institutions remains fragile. This study examines how the implementation of Open Parliament contributes to the modernisation of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI). Using a qualitative descriptive design based on documentary analysis and literature review, the study analyses official parliamentary documents, Open Parliament Indonesia materials, digital platforms, and relevant academic sources. The analysis applies two interconnected frameworks: the principles of open parliament, including transparency, participation, accountability, accessibility, and digital communication; and the criteria of a modern democratic parliament, namely representativeness, transparency, accessibility, accountability, and effectiveness. The findings indicate that Open Parliament Indonesia has strengthened the DPR RI’s modernisation agenda through several institutional innovations, including the Public Information and Documentation Officer platform, the Legislative Information System, participatory mechanisms for law-making, the redesign of the parliamentary website, and the use of parliamentary media and social media channels. These initiatives have expanded public access to legislative information and created new opportunities for civic engagement. However, several limitations remain, particularly incomplete information disclosure, uneven data quality, limited budget transparency, weak feedback mechanisms, and low public awareness. The study argues that Open Parliament should be understood not merely as digitalisation, but as an institutional reform strategy that embeds openness, deliberation, and accountability into parliamentary practice. It contributes to scholarship on legislative reform in emerging democracies and offers practical implications for strengthening governance.

Abstract

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) occupy a strategic position in Malaysia’s development trajectory because they contribute substantially to national output, employment creation, entrepreneurial inclusion, and regional economic resilience. Nevertheless, the contribution of MSMEs does not emerge automatically; it depends on the quality of policy implementation, the effectiveness of institutional coordination, the capacity of target groups, and the adaptability of public programmes to changing economic conditions. This article examines the implementation of MSME development policy in Malaysia by focusing on the regulatory architecture, inter-agency coordination, empowerment strategies, access to finance, digital transformation, and partnership oversight. The study uses a qualitative documentary research design based on policy documents, official statistical reports, academic literature, and relevant secondary sources. The analysis is informed by public policy implementation theory, particularly the interaction between idealised policy, target groups, implementing organisations, and environmental factors. The findings show that Malaysia has developed a relatively comprehensive MSME policy ecosystem through institutions such as the National Entrepreneur and SME Development Council, SME Corporation Malaysia, SME Bank, and other ministries and agencies. Policy implementation is supported by long-term national plans, entrepreneurship strategies, capacity-building programmes, financing schemes, digitalisation initiatives, and competition-law enforcement. However, implementation challenges remain, especially in bureaucratic fragmentation, uneven access to financing, digital capability gaps, limited managerial capacity among micro-enterprises, and the difficulty of integrating informal or low-productivity enterprises into higher-value markets. The article argues that Malaysia’s MSME policy implementation is best understood as an evolving governance system rather than a single programme.

Abstract

Disaster communication is a critical component of emergency governance, particularly in countries with high exposure to earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and tsunamis. In Indonesia, the complexity of disaster management is not limited to emergency response and victim assistance, but also includes the accuracy, consistency, and credibility of public information. This study examines the effectiveness of a one-voice disaster press conference policy in Indonesia, with particular attention to the role of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) as an authoritative communication actor. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study draws on observation, interviews, and documentation related to BNPB’s disaster communication practices. Informants include BNPB officials, public relations staff, a media observer, and members of the public. The analysis is guided by four indicators of policy effectiveness: target accuracy, programme socialisation, programme objectives, and programme monitoring. The findings indicate that a one-voice press conference mechanism is essential to reduce misinformation, strengthen public trust, improve coordination between institutions, and ensure that disaster-related information is delivered in a timely, factual, and educational manner. However, the study also identifies several challenges, including fragmented institutional authority, inconsistent media coverage, the rapid circulation of hoaxes on social media, limited public understanding of disaster causes, and the absence of a specific regulatory framework governing one-door disaster press conferences. The article argues that disaster communication in Indonesia requires a more institutionalised, digitally integrated, and legally supported communication model. Such a model should combine official spokesperson authority, media coordination, social media responsiveness, public education, and post-disaster monitoring.

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

Decentralisation has become a central pillar of Indonesia’s post-reform governance architecture, particularly in strengthening regional autonomy and improving public service delivery at the local level. Within this framework, village autonomy occupies a strategic position because villages are the closest governmental units to rural communities and are expected to translate national development priorities into locally responsive programmes. This article examines the implementation of decentralisation in village autonomy as an institutional mechanism for promoting equitable rural development in Indonesia. Using a normative-juridical and conceptual research design, this study analyses statutory provisions, policy documents, and relevant academic literature on village authority, village finance, and governance accountability. The findings indicate that village autonomy has been institutionally strengthened through legal recognition, fiscal transfers, and the delegation of authority to villages. However, its effectiveness remains constrained by administrative capacity, uneven human resources, limited planning competence, regulatory complexity, and weak accountability mechanisms in some local contexts. The study argues that village autonomy can contribute meaningfully to development equity only when legal authority, fiscal capacity, participatory planning, and multi-layered supervision operate as an integrated governance system. The article concludes that decentralisation at the village level should not be understood merely as the transfer of authority and funds, but as a transformative governance process requiring institutional capacity, community participation, transparency, and accountable leadership.

Abstract

The appointment of acting regional heads in Indonesia has generated a significant debate on the quality of decentralised democracy and the implementation of good governance at the local level. Although the appointment mechanism was designed as an administrative solution to fill regional leadership vacancies before the 2024 simultaneous regional elections, it also raised normative and institutional concerns regarding public participation, legal certainty, transparency, and democratic legitimacy. This article examines the role of acting regional heads in implementing good governance principles within Indonesia’s decentralised administrative system. Using a qualitative descriptive and normative approach, the study analyses statutory regulations, constitutional considerations, policy documents, and relevant academic literature. The findings indicate that the appointment of acting regional heads reveals a structural tension between administrative continuity and democratic accountability. In particular, three governance dimensions appear most problematic: limited public participation in the appointment process, weak procedural clarity in upholding the rule of law, and insufficient transparency in the selection and performance evaluation of acting regional heads. The article argues that good governance cannot be reduced to bureaucratic continuity; it requires participatory procedures, transparent institutional design, and accountable exercise of temporary authority. The study contributes to debates on local governance by proposing a procedural governance framework for acting regional leadership based on participation, legality, transparency, and public accountability.
