Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the effects of physical and non-physical work environments on employee performance at the Ambon City Environmental and Waste Management Agency and to measure the magnitude of their partial and simultaneous influences on work outcomes. Methodology: This quantitative study employed structured questionnaires as research instruments, a survey method, and multiple linear regression analysis. Data were processed using IBM SPSS Statistics software. Respondents were all employees of the Ambon City Environmental and Waste Management Agency, selected through a census technique, and measured using Likert-scale items. Main Findings: The results show that the physical work environment significantly affects employee performance, while the non-physical work environment also has a positive and significant influence. Simultaneously, both variables strongly predict performance levels. Regression coefficients indicate that non-physical aspects contribute more dominantly, and the model explains a substantial proportion of performance variance among employees in the organization. These findings highlight the importance of improving workplace conditions in public sector institutions to enhance the quality of public service delivery and organizational responsiveness to community needs. Furthermore, a supportive work environment contributes not only to employee productivity but also to broader social welfare by enabling government agencies to perform their public duties more effectively. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers new empirical evidence from eastern Indonesia’s municipal environmental sector by integrating physical and non-physical workplace factors with integrity-related organizational issues. It advances existing knowledge by providing context-specific data for public agencies managing sanitation services and by supplying a practical model for targeted workplace improvement policies.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the effect of service effectiveness on taxpayer satisfaction at the Regional Revenue Agency of Maluku Province, specifically in Motor Vehicle Tax payment services at One-Stop Administration Services Office Waihaong Ambon. The research positions taxpayer satisfaction not only as an administrative performance indicator but also as a reflection of governance quality, institutional legitimacy, and the relational dynamics between government and citizens within a decentralized public administration framework. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative survey approach involving taxpayers who directly accessed Motor Vehicle Tax payment services. Respondents were selected using an incidental sampling technique based on their direct service experience. Data were collected through structured Likert-scale questionnaires measuring service effectiveness (service speed, procedural accuracy, clarity of information, accessibility, and officer professionalism) and taxpayer satisfaction. Instrument validity and reliability tests were conducted prior to analysis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with SPSS software, including hypothesis testing (t-test) and coefficient of determination (R²). Main Findings: The findings indicate that service effectiveness has a positive and statistically significant effect on taxpayer satisfaction. The regression results demonstrate that improvements in service speed, procedural clarity, accessibility, and officer professionalism directly increase satisfaction levels. The coefficient of determination shows that service effectiveness explains a substantial proportion of variance in taxpayer satisfaction. These results confirm that effective public service delivery not only enhances citizen satisfaction but also strengthens public trust, perceptions of administrative fairness, and institutional legitimacy in regional tax administration. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes new empirical evidence from an archipelagic regional context in eastern Indonesia by integrating a quantitative service effectiveness model with a social governance perspective. Unlike prior studies that primarily emphasize technical service quality dimensions, this research conceptualizes taxpayer satisfaction as an indicator of institutional trust and governance legitimacy. The study enriches public administration literature by demonstrating how frontline service performance influences broader governance outcomes within decentralized regional tax systems.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the influence of work discipline and employee performance on the quality of public services at the Department of Environmental Affairs and Waste Management of Ambon City. Public service quality reflects the government’s capacity to fulfill community needs and expectations, particularly in waste management services that directly affect environmental cleanliness, public health, and community satisfaction. Methodology: This research employed a quantitative survey approach involving employees directly engaged in waste management services. Data were collected through structured questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale to measure work discipline, employee performance, and public service quality. Instrument validity and reliability were tested prior to analysis. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression, supported by classical assumption tests to ensure the reliability of the regression model. Main Findings: The results show that work discipline has a positive and significant effect on public service quality. Employee performance also has a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence service quality with a strong coefficient of determination. Disciplined behavior and optimal performance substantially improve reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangible aspects of public services. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides an integrated quantitative analysis of discipline and performance as simultaneous determinants of service quality in the municipal waste management sector, offering empirical evidence to strengthen citizen-oriented local governance.
