Abstract

This article aims to compare public administration systems in Indonesia and the United States through a literature-based study. Using a descriptive-comparative approach, the study analyzes bureaucratic structures, systems of government, administrative reform trajectories, and their implications for public service delivery. The United States represents a mature federal and liberal administrative tradition, while Indonesia reflects a developing democratic system with a strong legacy of centralized bureaucracy. Data were collected from classical public administration literature, international academic journals, and official government documents from both countries. The findings show that differences in constitutional structure, political systems, and administrative culture significantly influence bureaucratic organization and public service performance. While the United States emphasizes decentralization, managerial autonomy, and accountability, Indonesia continues to balance bureaucratic control with ongoing reforms toward transparency and service orientation. The study concludes that administrative reform must be contextual and institutionally grounded, and that cross-national learning should be adapted rather than directly adopted. This article contributes to comparative public administration literature by highlighting structural and governance-based explanations for variations in public service outcomes.

Abstract

This article examines the comparative characteristics of higher education administration in Indonesia and the United States from the perspective of public administration. Using a library research method with a descriptive-comparative approach, this study analyzes bureaucratic structures, systems of governance, administrative reforms, and their implications for public service delivery in higher education. Indonesia represents a centralized-decentralized hybrid model with strong ministerial control, while the United States reflects a decentralized and market-oriented governance system. The findings show that differences in bureaucratic traditions, political systems, and administrative reforms significantly influence institutional autonomy, accountability mechanisms, and service quality. The Indonesian system emphasizes national standardization and equity, whereas the U.S. system prioritizes institutional autonomy, competition, and innovation. This study contributes to comparative public administration literature by providing insights into how administrative structures shape higher education governance and public service outcomes.

Abstract

Public administration reforms have become a strategic agenda for many countries in response to growing demands for effective governance, accountability, and quality public services. Indonesia and Malaysia, as neighboring Southeast Asian countries with shared historical and cultural backgrounds, have implemented different models of public administration reform shaped by their political systems and institutional arrangements. This study aims to comparatively analyze the dynamics of public administration systems in Indonesia and Malaysia during the era of bureaucratic reform, with particular attention to bureaucratic structure, systems of government, administrative reform initiatives, and their implications for public service delivery. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method, drawing on classical public administration theories, international academic journals, and official government documents. The findings reveal that Indonesia emphasizes decentralization and participatory governance as key reform strategies, while Malaysia prioritizes centralized coordination, bureaucratic professionalism, and administrative efficiency. These differences significantly influence administrative performance and service delivery outcomes. This study contributes to comparative public administration literature by offering contextual policy lessons for strengthening bureaucratic reform in developing countries. The dindings indicate that Indonesia emphasizes decentralization, democratization, and participatory governance as core elements of its bureaucratic reform agenda. While this approach encourages local innovation and citizen involvement, it also creates challenges related to coordination, capacity disparities, and service quality inconsistency across regions. Malaysia, on the other hand, prioritizes centralized coordination, bureaucratic professionalism, performance-based management, and digital governance. These strategies contribute to relatively uniform service standards and administrative efficiency, although they may limit local participation and flexibility. This study contributes to the literature on comparative public administration by providing contextual insights into bureaucratic reform in Southeast Asia and offering policy recommendations for strengthening governance and public service delivery in developing countries.

Abstract

Environmental policy and sustainable development have become central issues in modern governance as ecological pressures from development activities continue to intensify. This article aims to analyze and compare environmental policy and sustainable development in Indonesia and Germany using a descriptive–comparative approach based on a literature review. Indonesia, as a developing country with abundant natural resources, faces serious challenges in environmental management, while Germany, as a developed country, is widely recognized as a pioneer in environmental policy and sustainable energy transition. Drawing on classical public administration literature, international academic journals, and official government documents from both countries, this article examines policy frameworks, institutional arrangements, policy instruments, and the implications of environmental policy for sustainable development. The findings indicate that differences in political context, economic structure, and institutional capacity significantly influence policy effectiveness. This study is expected to contribute conceptually and practically to the development of environmental policy in Indonesia through comparative policy learning.

Abstract

The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the public sector has become the main engine of bureaucratic efficiency by 2026. This research aims to critically dissect the regulatory readiness and public administration capacity of Indonesia and the Philippines in welcoming ASEAN leadership 2026. Using a qualitative-comparative approach, this study compares policies such as Presidential Decree No. 82 of 2023 in Indonesia and the National AI Strategy Roadmap 2.0 in the Philippines. The results show that Indonesia excels in the availability of large public datasets through the SPBE system and the INA Digital portal, but still faces the challenges of rigid cross-sectoral coordination and AI regulations that are not yet legally binding. In contrast, the Philippines has demonstrated regulatory agility through a networked governance model and has mandated an Algorithmic Impact Assessment to mitigate the risk of algorithmic bias. The study concludes that synchronization between data sovereignty and international collaboration is crucial for modern bureaucracies in Southeast Asia to protect citizens' rights amid technological disruption.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the comparison between the education systems of Indonesia and Japan, focusing on aspects such as curriculum structure, teacher quality, teaching methods, evaluation systems, technology integration, school culture, and government policies. The research uses a qualitative approach with a comparative study method through literature analysis from various sources such as scientific journals, government policy documents, and international organization reports for the period 2020-2024. The theories used include George Bereday's Theory of Comparative Education, Bronfenbrenner's Theory of Educational Ecology, and Michael Lipsky's Theory of Policy Implementation as the analytical framework. The results of the study show fundamental differences between the two education systems, where Japan has a more structured, consistent, and coherent system with highly selective teacher recruitment, proven effective Lesson Study and Problem-Solving-based learning methods, and a strong school culture that instills values of discipline and responsibility. Meanwhile, Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum offers greater flexibility and autonomy, but faces challenges such as disparities in quality between regions, gaps in teacher competence, and inconsistencies in policy implementation. Japanese students consistently outperform Indonesian students in international tests such as PISA, reflecting the effectiveness of their education system. However, the Japanese system also has weaknesses in the form of extremely high academic pressure due to intense entrance exam competition. This study recommends that Indonesia can learn from Japan's best practices by improving teacher recruitment selectivity, developing a culture of professional collaboration, strengthening integrated character education, and equalizing the quality of education, while still considering Indonesia's unique social, cultural, and geographical context. Smart and gradual adaptation is more important than the direct application of the Japanese system, which may not be suitable for local conditions in Indonesia. Educational transformation requires a long-term commitment from all stakeholders and should not be influenced solely by political dynamics.

Abstract

This community service activity focuses on learning the proper recitation and movements of prayer (salat). Understanding and practicing the correct procedures of salat is an important aspect of Islamic religious education. This community service activity was conducted in Tenam Village and aimed at elementary school-aged students as part of the implementation of the Islamic Religious Education course. The community service activity was carried out through three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The preparation stage included identifying problems and analyzing the needs of the target community, determining the activity targets which covered participants, location, and time of implementation, formulating clear and measurable objectives of the community service activity, preparing training materials adjusted to the age of the participants, including the pillars and requirements of salat, recitations, and the practice of prayer movements, and determining appropriate implementation methods by emphasizing direct practice and mentoring. The second stage was the implementation stage, which began with an opening session, followed by the delivery of theoretical material and continued with demonstrations of the correct procedures of salat in accordance with Islamic guidance. The third stage was the evaluation stage, which was conducted to assess the participants’ understanding and ability to perform salat correctly through observation of practice and discussions. The results of this activity showed an improvement in the participants’ understanding and skills in performing salat according to proper guidance. Before the training was conducted, most participants had limited understanding of the requirements, pillars, and correct recitations of salat. After participating in the training, which included material delivery, demonstrations, and direct practice, participants showed positive changes. They were able to mention the requirements and pillars of salat more accurately and improve their prayer movements and recitations in accordance with Islamic guidance.

Abstract

This article analyzes the persistence of bureaucratic patronage in the context of decentralized democracies through a comparative study of Indonesia and the Philippines. Although democratization and merit-based reform are normatively expected to strengthen bureaucratic professionalism, empirical evidence demonstrates that these processes have instead opened opportunities for the consolidation of political dynasty power at the local level. By integrating the framework of neo-patrimonialism and principal-agent theory, this research argues that the primary problem lies in the structural distortion of delegation relationships: bureaucrats formally act as agents of the state and the public, but in practice function as de facto agents of political dynasties that control local executive authority. This study employs a qualitative comparative approach based on secondary data, policy documents, and previous empirical studies to identify key mechanisms of bureaucratic co-optation, including manipulation of recruitment and promotion, post-election mass transfers, and exploitation of legal loopholes in the merit system. Despite differences in institutional design particularly the constitutional position of the Civil Service Commission in the Philippines compared to the State Civil Apparatus Commission in Indonesia both countries exhibit similar patterns of bureaucratic neutrality erosion. To explain this convergence, this article proposes the Archipelagic Patronage Model, which emphasizes the interaction between geographical fragmentation, decentralization, weak horizontal accountability, and the informalization of formal rules in reinforcing political dynasty dominance over local bureaucracy.

Abstract

This research aims to describe and analyze the effectiveness of digital service transformation through the myBCA ecosystem at Bank BCA KCP Ponorogo Cokroaminoto within the framework of Public Administration. As the paradigm shifts from Old Public Administration (OPA) toward New Public Service (NPS), public service institutions are increasingly required to prioritize citizen dignity, transparency, and accountability. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using in-depth interviews, passive participatory observation, and documentation to capture the depth of human perception and social interaction in public services. Informants were selected through purposive sampling, including branch management, frontliners (Customer Service and Tellers), and customers. The results indicate that the migration to the myBCA ecosystem has successfully achieved significant service efficiency by shifting routine administrative burdens from bank counters directly to the customers' hands. Through features like Single ID, customers can manage multiple accounts independently, which is particularly beneficial for high-mobility business actors in the Cokroaminoto area. This phenomenon, identified as debureaucratization, allows frontliners to shift their focus from clerical tasks to high-quality consultative services that require empathy and deep analysis. Furthermore, the study finds that the success of digital adaptation is fundamentally supported by the synergy between E-Service Quality and the responsiveness of bank personnel. While the application provides usability and reliability, the role of staff as "digital educators" remains crucial in bridging the digital divide for less tech-savvy customers. Proactive responsiveness and "digital empathy" demonstrated by frontliners and security personnel enhance public trust by ensuring that professional human support is always accessible. In alignment with Law No. 25 of 2009 concerning Public Services, the transparency and real-time information provided by myBCA minimize information asymmetry and strengthen institutional legitimacy. Ultimately, digital efficiency at KCP Ponorogo is defined by a balance between reliable systems and responsive personnel, creating an inclusive and agile banking ecosystem
