Abstract

The role of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in public service is quite complex. This is because, in addition to pursuing profitability, SOEs are also required to provide high-quality services to the public. To support efforts to ensure quality public service, the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises issued Circular Letter No. SE-7/MBU/07/2020 in 2020 regarding the Core Values of SOE Human Resources. The objective of this study is to explore the implementation of these values in depth and analyze their implications for service quality. The research methodology is descriptive qualitative, utilizing data triangulation from observation, interviews, and documentation. The “AKHLAK” values are implemented into employees’ daily work; for instance, the value of Integrity is demonstrated by employees through high precision and caution when calculating pension benefits and claims, the value of Competence is applied by allocating budgets from headquarters to conduct employee training and education, the value of Harmony is realized through the principle of equality, the value of Loyalty is manifested in compliance with regulations, the value of Adaptability is realized through the digitization of services, and the value of Collaboration is realized through establishing cooperation with various parties. The conclusion drawn is that the “AKHLAK” values have comprehensive implications for the five dimensions of service quality in the SERVQUAL model by Zeithaml et al. Each “AKHLAK” value does not stand alone but is interconnected and reinforces one another in creating quality service.

Abstract

This study examines the quality of public services in the implementation of the Motor Vehicle Tax Amnesty Program at the Cirebon Regency Samsat. Using a descriptive qualitative method and collecting data through in-depth interviews with the head of the Samsat, front office service officers, and taxpayers who directly benefited from the program. The research analysis framework refers to Campbell's effectiveness theory, which covers five main dimensions: program success, target success, level of satisfaction with the program, the relationship between input and output, and overall goal achievement. The results show that the amnesty program was able to encourage public participation by serving around 8,500–9,000 taxpayers and generating additional regional revenue of approximately Rp 45–55 billion. However, the effectiveness of the program is still influenced by a number of constraints, such as limited infrastructure, relatively long waiting times, and suboptimal human resource capacity. In general, this study concludes that the tax amnesty program is quite effective in increasing tax compliance and regional revenue, but it still requires strengthening of facilities and development of human resources in order to maximize its effectiveness.

Abstract

Inclusive development is the primary objective of the village assistance program. The Next Generation Social Welfare Information System (SIKS-NG) is a solution for improving the accountability of the village assistance program. This study aims to describe the contribution of SIKS -NG in improving the accountability of the village assistance program based on public accountability theory Mahmudi, 2019, regarding the dimensions of accountability that must be fulfilled by public sector organizations, namely Legal and Integrity Accountability, Managerial Accountability, Program Accountability, Policy Accountability, and Financial Accountability. The research method employed a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews and observations, with the main informants being staff from the Social Affairs Office (Integrated Referral Service System) of Cirebon Regency and officers from the Social Welfare Center (PUSKESOS) of Palimanan Timur Village. The research results indicate that SIKS-NG can enhance the accountability of village assistance programs by providing accurate and transparent data, as well as increasing community participation in decision-making. Therefore, as stipulated in Regulation of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia No. 3 of 2025 regarding the updating and use of the National Single Social and Economic Data System for social assistance, social empowerment, and social welfare programs, this study aims to promote inclusive development in Palimanan Timur Village. It is hoped that a digital-based system designed to manage the National Social and Economic Single Data System (DTSEN) can be more transparent, accurate, and efficient in its implementation for the community.

Abstract

The importance of effective public services will be discussed within the Child Identity Card (KIA) program carried out by the Population and Civil Registration Office of Kuningan Regency. The problems analyzed concern the lack of effectiveness of the provision of KIA services promptly due to the technological limitations of the system, insufficient human resources, and lack of public understanding about the need for KIA. The purpose of this research is to provide a demonstration of the effectiveness of KIA services using the method proposed by Siagian (as cited in Nashar, 2020) based on three aspects: timeliness, accuracy, and service style. These results show that the factor of time is still not fully efficient, even though there are SOPs that range from 1 hour to 24 hours, as it is still dependent on the Department of Population and Civil Registration. on changes in the SIAK system, network problems, geographic factors, and human resources. Nevertheless, when it comes to the matter of accuracy and delivery styles, one may notice some very positive aspects here, because it may include such things as comprehensive procedures for issuance, staff attitude, the utilization of digital services, and good and fair services. As a consequence, one may note that there are a lot of ways to enhance the efficiency of KIA. Thus, future research may consider public satisfaction as one of its major elements.

Abstract

Enforcement of local regulations (Perda) is one of the strategic functions of local governments in maintaining public order and community peace. The Civil Service police unit (Satpol PP), as a local government agency, plays a key role in enforcing these local regulations. However, in practice, the performance of Satpol PP offices in Cirebon City still faces various challenges, particularly those related to human resource management. This study aims to analyze the human resource management (HRM) functions of the Cirebon City Satpol PP, identify the inhibiting factors affecting them, and analyze the issues of staff shortages and mismatched backgrounds. This study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. The theoretical framework draws upon Dessler’s (2017) theory of Human Resource management, specifically focusing on HR planning, training and development, and performance management. Data were collected through interviews and observations of Cirebon City Satpol PP personnel, then analyzed descriptively using triangulation techniques to ensure data validity. The results of the study indicate that the performance quality of Cirebon City Satpol PP personnel is not yet optimal, due to limited personnel numbers, low staff competence, and training and development programs that have not been fully implemented. Therefore, a planned and sustainable strengthening of human resource management is required to improve the effectiveness of local regulation enforcement.

Abstract

The Teacher Professional Education Program (PPG) is a government policy aimed at enhancing teacher professionalism, as mandated by Law No. 14 of 2005 on Teachers and Lecturers. However, in its implementation, the PPG still faces a number of challenges, including coordination among policy stakeholders, institutional readiness within schools, and teachers’ ability to balance the demands of the PPG with their workload at educational institutions. These conditions indicate that the success of the PPG is determined not only by the policy design but also by the implementation process. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the PPG policy using Grindle’s policy implementation theory, specifically focusing on the dimensions of policy content and implementation context. This study employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques involving in-depth interviews with education officials and PPG-participating teachers, supplemented by documentary analysis. The results indicate that, in terms of policy content, the PPG program provides benefits in enhancing teachers’ pedagogical and professional competencies and strengthening professional recognition. Regarding the implementation context, the success of the PPG program is influenced by coordination among policy actors, school leadership support, alignment of administrative systems, and teacher commitment. Overall, the implementation of the PPG program can be effective if supported by institutional synergy and the professional accountability of all policy actors.

Abstract

This study examines how incentive structures in academic publishing shape authorship practices in contemporary performance-oriented academic systems. Growing reliance on publication counts, citation metrics, journal rankings, and authorship positions has made academic authorship a strategic mechanism for allocating institutional rewards. In this context, practices such as reciprocal authorship, honorary authorship, guest authorship, and strategically motivated collaboration have become increasingly visible in scholarly publishing. Drawing on rational choice theory and non-cooperative game theory, the study develops a theoretical model that conceptualizes academic authorship as a strategic interaction shaped by publication pressure, incomplete information, asymmetric monitoring, contribution costs, ethical risks, and reputational incentives. Rather than assuming that academics are purely economically motivated actors, the model treats rational choice as a stylized analytical framework for examining how institutional reward systems may alter the relative attractiveness of honest and strategic authorship practices. The model suggests that reciprocal authorship may emerge as a rational equilibrium under specific conditions, particularly when publication-related rewards are high, genuine contribution costs are substantial, monitoring mechanisms are weak, and ethical or reputational costs remain limited. At the same time, the study emphasizes that this equilibrium is conditional and may be altered by stronger transparency mechanisms, contribution disclosure systems, disciplinary norms, professional identity, and ethical enforcement. The findings suggest that problematic authorship behaviors should be understood not only as individual ethical failures but also as structurally embedded responses to institutional incentive systems. The study argues that sustainable reform requires multidimensional evaluation systems that combine contribution-based assessment, transparent disclosure, institutional accountability, and qualitative judgments of scientific quality, rather than simply replacing authorship counts with new quantitative contribution metrics.

Abstract

transmitting cultural heritage. National costume terminology reflects not only lexical meanings but also the historical development, cultural identity, social values, and worldview of a particular nation. This study investigates the linguocultural characteristics of national costume names in Uzbek and English through a comparative linguistic and cultural analysis. The research examines semantic structures, etymological origins, symbolic meanings, and cultural connotations associated with traditional clothing terminology in both languages. A qualitative comparative methodology was employed using descriptive, semantic, etymological, and linguocultural approaches. Lexical units such as chapan, doppi, atlas, adras, paranja, and belbog' in Uzbek were compared with English cultural equivalents including cloak, robe, bonnet, veil, shawl, and waistcoat. The findings reveal that Uzbek costume terminology is deeply connected with ethnic traditions, family values, social hierarchy, craftsmanship, and ceremonial customs, whereas English costume vocabulary reflects historical evolution, class distinctions, regional identities, and Western cultural transformations. Although certain lexical items possess functional equivalence, many concepts remain culturally specific and require explanatory translation because of their unique ethnocultural significance. The study demonstrates that national costume terminology represents an essential component of cultural memory and linguistic identity. The results contribute to comparative linguistics, ethnolinguistics, intercultural communication, translation studies, and cultural heritage research.

Abstract

Verbal vocabulary constitutes one of the most dynamic components of poetic discourse, serving not only as a grammatical category but also as a powerful means of expressing movement, emotion, cognition, and artistic imagery. In modern linguistic research, the study of verbal lexicon integrates semantic, stylistic, and quantitative approaches to reveal how poets construct conceptual meanings and aesthetic effects through verbal choices. This article investigates the semantic, stylistic, and linguostatistical characteristics of verbal vocabulary in the poetry of Olzhas O. Suleimenov. A qualitative descriptive method combined with comparative semantic analysis and elements of linguostatistical observation was employed. The corpus consists of selected poems from different collections of Olzhas O. Suleimenov. A small annotated corpus was created for frequency analysis and verb classification. The analysis focuses on the semantic groups of verbs, their stylistic functions, metaphorical potential, and communicative roles in poetic discourse. The findings indicate that Suleimenov's poetic language is characterized by a predominance of dynamic action verbs, cognitive verbs, and expressive verbal constructions that intensify imagery and emotional impact. The study demonstrates that the poet's verbal system contributes significantly to the formation of national identity, historical memory, and philosophical reflection. The results may be applied in linguistic stylistics, cognitive poetics, comparative linguistics, literary criticism, and translation studies.

Abstract

ICD-11 is a multilingual digital classification in which a stable conceptual identifier is accompanied by language-specific diagnostic labels. This article argues that Russian-Uzbek ICD-11 comparison should be evaluated through three interrelated levels: conceptual preservation, nominative realization, and pragmatic suitability. A stratified exploratory sample of 148 Russian-Uzbek diagnostic pairs from the 2025-01 release was analysed through comparative, structural-semantic, componential, frame-based and register-oriented pragmatic procedures. Formally international correspondences constituted 55.4% of the sample; structural calques and mixed forms, 29.7%; conventional national forms, 8.1%; descriptive-explicative forms, 5.4%; and abbreviation transformations, 1.4%. Nine cases of variation and nine nominative lacunae were identified. Conceptual lacunae were not recorded within the sample because all compared pairs were aligned through the same ICD-11 entity. The proposed map links the ICD-11 identifier, preferred terms, variants, frame slots, register and patient-oriented explanation. It is presented as an analytical procedure rather than as a statistically universal typology.
