Abstract

Employee performance is an important factor in the success ofan organization, especially in the government sector. However, inpractice, various obstacles are still found that affect performance, such asa leadership style that is not optimal and limited work facilities. At theRegional Office of the Ministry of Religion of Gorontalo Province, anumber of performance indicators have not been achieved optimally,which shows the need to evaluate internal organizational factors. Thisstudy aims to determine the influence of transformational leadership andwork facilities on employee performance, as well as analyze whether workfacilities play a role as a mediating variable in the relationship betweenleadership and performance. The research uses a quantitative approachwith an associative descriptive method. Data was collected through aquestionnaire to 32 employees, and analyzed using the Partial LeastSquare (PLS) technique through the SmartPLS application. The results ofthe study show that transformational leadership does not have asignificant direct effect on employee performance. On the other hand,work facilities have a significant effect and transformational leadershipaffects employee performance through work facilities. This means thatdirection and motivation from leaders will only have an impact onimproving performance if they are supported by adequate work facilities.These findings confirm the importance of the role of work facilities insupporting leadership effectiveness. Therefore, organizations need toprioritize the management of work facilities as part of a comprehensiveand sustainable employee performance improvement strategy.

Abstract

Sustainable fisheries management in coastal areas is a challenge as wellas a strategic opportunity in maintaining the sustainability of marine resourcesand the welfare of fishing communities. Bone Bolango Regency, which has quitelarge fisheries potential, especially in the Tomini Bay area, faces variouschallenges in its fisheries governance, ranging from low community participation,limited responsive policy support, to minimal cross-sector collaboration. Thisstudy aims to analyze sustainable fisheries management in Bone Bolango byemphasizing the role of fishing communities, government responsiveness, andmulti-party partnerships. The method used in this study is a descriptivequalitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depthinterviews, field observations, and documentation studies. Data were analyzedusing the Business Model Canvas framework adapted to the Design Thinkingapproach to understand the dynamics of user needs, actor roles, and innovationin governance. The results of the study show that active participation of fishingcommunities has a significant influence on the legitimacy of policies and thesuccess of marine conservation programs based on local wisdom. However, thisinvolvement is still hampered by low environmental literacy and technicalcapacity. In addition, the level of responsiveness of local governments is stillpartial, focusing more on technical assistance than building equal dialoguemechanisms. Meanwhile, collaborative practices between fishing communities,government, and the private sector have not been optimal due to the weaknessof existing partnership institutions. This finding strengthens the arguments of anumber of previous studies that emphasize the importance of environmentaleducation, integration of local knowledge, and inclusive partnerships in coastalresource management. The implications of this study indicate that the success ofsustainable fisheries management is largely determined by an adaptive,community-based governance model supported by strategic cross-sectorpartnerships. Therefore, it is necessary to design policies and programs that aremore responsive to the needs of coastal communities, strengthen communitycapacity, and build participatory and sustainable collaborative institutions.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of bureaucratic ethics in strengthening public trust in government social assistance services at the Bululi Village Office, Asparaga District, Gorontalo Regency. The problems arise due to unequal treatment, lack of fairness in the distribution of social assistance, and low accountability of village officials. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving both village apparatus and community members. The analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that: (1) Equality in service delivery remains limited, with preferential treatment for certain groups; (2) Equity in distributing social assistance is often compromised by bias and lack of transparency; (3) Loyalty of officials to institutional values and regulations is challenged by external pressure and informal practices; and (4) Responsibility has been implemented relatively well, although weaknesses remain in discipline and consistency. The study concludes that strengthening bureaucratic ethics—particularly in fairness, accountability, and discipline—is crucial to restoring and maintaining public trust. These findings contribute to the discourse on good governance at the local level and highlight the urgency of ethical reforms in village administration.

Abstract

Digital government is a form of digital technology transformation in the public sector, implemented by the National and Political Unity Agency of Bogor Regency through a digital correspondence system. This system is designed to efficiently manage the inflow and outflow of information. The innovation was initiated in response to issues such as slow correspondence processes, excessive paper usage, time inefficiency, and high costs. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the digital government system in the correspondence process at Bakesbangpol Bogor Regency. The research method used is descriptive quantitative, with data collected through questionnaires and interviews. The sample consisted of 73 members of the public and 27 civil servants (ASN). Data analysis was conducted descriptively using effectiveness indicators based on the dimensions of bureaucracy, neoinstitutionalism, networks, and governance. The results show that the implementation of the digital government system is generally considered good. From the perspective of civil servants, effectiveness is rated very good with an average score of 4.71, while from the public, it is rated good with an average score of 3.91. However, the overall effectiveness score is still considered moderate, at 2.95. The bureaucracy dimension received the highest score from ASN, while the public rated the neoinstitutionalism dimension as the best. Conversely, the network dimension received the lowest rating from the public. This study concludes that although the digital government system has been implemented well, improvements are still needed in terms of bureaucracy and network aspects, enhancement of infrastructure, and inter-agency coordination to increase theeffectiveness of the digital correspondence system at Bakesbangpol Bogor Regency.

Abstract

This study explores the work behavior of government officials in delivering public services in Dutuno Village, Paleleh District, Buol Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation, the research focuses on three behavioral dimensions: politeness, caring, and discipline. Findings indicate that while officials often display politeness in interactions, issues such as lateness, unresponsiveness, and occasional discrimination reduce service quality. Caring is reflected in efforts to assist citizens with administrative needs, yet delays and limited initiative remain challenges. Discipline emerged as the most pressing concern, with irregular attendance affecting efficiency and public trust. The study concludes that improving service delivery requires strengthening discipline, enhancing communication and service ethics, and adopting New Public Service principles that emphasize accountability and citizen-oriented governance.

Abstract

The supervision of 3-kilogram Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) distribution in Banggai Regency remains problematic, particularly in achieving equitable access and effective regulatory enforcement. This study aims to analyze the implementation of supervision policies and identify factors affecting their effectiveness. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, seven key informants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observation, and document analysis, and examined using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana’s interactive model. The findings reveal that several policy implementation indicators—such as communication between stakeholders, the availability of supervisory personnel, access to information, and bureaucratic coordination—are still suboptimal. These issues reflect broader national challenges in distributing subsidized LPG, a critical energy source for low-income households and micro-enterprises in Indonesia. The study highlights the need for better policy communication, increased supervisory capacity, clearer Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and stronger coordination among government agencies and PT Pertamina. In addition, innovative, technology-based monitoring tools such as app-based reporting systems are recommended to improve transparency and accountability. These recommendations not only address local weaknesses in Banggai Regency but also provide insights applicable to other regions with similar challenges. Strengthening policy implementation at the regional level is key to improving the distribution of subsidized energy nationwide.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine how social conflict mitigation was implemented in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections in Bogor Regency, including identifying obstacles and efforts from various related institutions. The background of this study was based on the high potential for election vulnerability in West Java Province based on the Election Vulnerability Index (IKP) of Bawaslu RI, with Bogor Regency categorized as moderately vulnerable. This study used a quantitative descriptive method with a disproportionate stratified random sampling technique for employees and simple random sampling for the community, with 145 respondents. Data were collected through literature studies, observations, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires and analyzed using the Weight Mean Score (WMS) method based on the seven dimensions of the Collaborative Conflict Resolution theory. The results of the study showed that social conflict mitigation was categorized as "Good" according to employees (average score 4.17) and the community (average score 3.82). Mitigation strategies were carried out by mapping vulnerable polling stations, security simulations, coordination between institutions, and socialization with the community. The obstacles faced include technical coordination, limited training of party cadres, and challenges of media neutrality. Mitigation efforts were carried out through internal training, information verification, and cross-institutional communication. This study emphasized the importance of multi-party collaboration in creating peaceful and participatory regional elections in conflict-prone areas.
