Abstract

Existing studies on academic service management in higher education have mainly emphasized digitalization, administrative efficiency, and service quality improvement. Less attention has been paid to how leadership, technological innovation, organizational culture, and human resource development interact as an institutional mechanism for sustaining academic service transformation in Indonesian public universities. This study aims to explain how these four dimensions operate together in transforming academic service governance. A theory-guided qualitative case study was conducted at the State University of Gorontalo, selected as a theoretically relevant case because it has implemented SIAT, e-office, chatbot-based information services, cloud-based archives, and mobile service monitoring. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using hybrid thematic analysis combining deductive and inductive coding. The findings show that academic service transformation is not driven by technology alone. It emerges through a sequential and mutually reinforcing process in which: visionary leadership generates institutional legitimacy; digital innovation redesigns service routines and improves transparency; collaborative culture facilitates coordination and acceptance; and human resource development sustains implementation through competence, motivation, and service commitment. The study contributes to higher education governance literature by proposing the Integrated Academic Service Transformation Model. The model conceptualizes academic service reform as an institutional change process that links leadership-generated legitimacy, digital service redesign, collaborative institutionalization, and human resource learning to support organizational change and student success.

Abstract

Although dynamic capability theory has been widely applied in private-sector organizations, its use in non-Western public-sector contexts remains limited. Existing studies have paid limited attention to how culturally embedded norms shape the microfoundations of sensing, seizing, and transforming in public problem-solving processes. This study examines how institutionalized interpretations of Javanese norms, particularly unggah-ungguh (hierarchical subordination) and sendiko dawuh (obedience to authority), influence the enactment of dynamic capabilities in local government bureaucracy. Using an explanatory qualitative multi-case study of 17 sub-districts (Kapanewon) in Sleman Regency, Indonesia, this research draws on document analysis, focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and field observations conducted between 2021 and 2025. The findings revealed uneven enactment of sensing, seizing, and transforming capabilities across sub-districts. Hierarchical cultural norms tend to encourage reactive, complaint-driven sensing rather than proactive environmental scanning, constrain seizing by prioritizing procedural compliance over innovation, and limit transforming to incremental structural adjustments that emerge mainly under strong and legitimate leadership. This study contributes to the public administration literature by demonstrating that culture functions not merely as a contextual background but also as a conditioning mechanism that simultaneously enables bureaucratic coordination and constrains organizational learning and bottom-up innovation. The study extends dynamic capability theory by incorporating culturally mediated hierarchy as a conditional factor that shapes adaptive governance in public bureaucracies. It also enriches street-level bureaucracy scholarship by highlighting the role of meso-level leaders (Panewu) as cultural brokers navigating tensions between authority and adaptive responsiveness.

Abstract

Despite growing recognition of UNESCO Global Geoparks as instruments of local economic development, existing studies largely focus on geotourism potential or aggregate economic impact, leaving a gap in comparative, policy-focused analyses that explain why benefits are unevenly distributed within a single geopark area. This study examines public policy strategies to improve MSME competitiveness in the Ijen UNESCO Global Geopark through a comparative analysis of Bondowoso and Banyuwangi Regencies in East Java, Indonesia. Although both share the same geopark designation, Banyuwangi demonstrates stronger MSME integration and tourism branding, while Bondowoso faces persistent structural governance challenges. Drawing on Dunn's (2018) integrated public policy analysis framework, this study applies formal problem structuring and policy recommendation through the non-dominated alternatives method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, observation, and document analysis involving MSME actors and key government stakeholders. Findings revealed that the performance gap is driven primarily by institutional design differences, specifically the absence of a lead agency and ad hoc inter-agency coordination in Bondowoso, rather than budget disparities. Evaluating twelve policy alternatives across three feasibility criteria, this study recommends One-Stop Integrated Services for MSMEs as the priority strategy, functioning as a governance hub that enables complementary interventions to operate in an integrated manner. Empirically, this study provides the first comparative evidence that geopark status alone does not determine MSME competitiveness. Conceptually, it operationalizes the policy-economy mismatch thesis in the Indonesian geopark context. Methodologically, it advances the field by producing evidence-based, ranked policy recommendations replicable in other geopark settings.

Abstract

Land conflict constitutes one of the most prevalent forms of conflict in Jambi and ranks among the most significant agrarian conflicts in Indonesia. Existing land conflict resolution approaches pay limited attention to multi-stakeholder governance. This research aims to examine the dynamics of land conflicts and to explore the application of the pentahelix governance framework in conflict transformation. This study employs a qualitative case study design. The research area is East Tanjung Jabung Regency. This is one of the representative areas of land conflict in Jambi. The research data was obtained through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. The selection of informants was purposive, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns and relationships. The findings reveal that land conflicts possess a complex nature and exert a significant impact on nearly all aspects of the local community. This conflict is intricately linked to the dynamics of political power. In the context of conflict transformation, the pentahelix governance framework provides an effective governance mechanism for transforming land conflicts. Grounded in transformative principles, it promotes multi-stakeholder collaboration through inclusive governance. The framework facilitates collaborative engagement, reshapes stakeholder relationships, and strengthens institutional interactions in complex agrarian conflicts. This study contributes to the development of land conflict resolution strategies by demonstrating the applicability of the pentahelix model, both in Jambi and in broader contexts across Indonesia.

Abstract

The growing adoption of digital government has encouraged Muslim-majority countries to integrate technological innovation with religious and socio-cultural values in public governance. However, existing studies largely focus on technological readiness and administrative reforms, while limited attention has been paid to how Islamic governance principles shape smart governance implementation. This study examined the interplay between digital policy, institutional capacity, and Islamic values in the development of smart governance in Türkiye, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Employing a comparative qualitative design, the research utilized a Most Similar System approach to analyze three countries that share Islamic socio-political characteristics but exhibit different trajectories of digital transformation. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with government officials, academics, and civil society representatives, complemented by policy documents, government reports, and scholarly literature. The findings reveal that smart governance performance is influenced not only by technological infrastructure but also by the institutionalization of Islamic governance values. Türkiye demonstrates a technology-driven model characterized by advanced digital integration and administrative efficiency. Malaysia exhibits a value-oriented model in which the principles of amanah (accountability), ‘adl (justice), and shura (consultative governance) are explicitly embedded in public policy. Indonesia represents a regulatory-driven model supported by the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE), although implementation disparities persist across local governments. The study proposes an Islamic Smart Governance Framework that highlights the synergistic relationship between institutional capacity, digital innovation, and Islamic ethical values in enhancing transparency, participation, and public trust. These findings contribute to the literature on digital governance by offering a contextualized perspective on smart governance in Muslim-majority societies.

Abstract

This study examines how Indonesia's experience of receiving extensive international humanitarian assistance following the 2004 Aceh tsunami influenced the government's decision to reject foreign aid during the 2025 Sumatra floods. Although disaster governance research has extensively examined international aid coordination and post-disaster reconstruction, limited attention has been paid to how historical disaster experiences reshape state identity and sovereignty norms, which subsequently influence foreign aid policies. Drawing on Alexander Wendt's constructivist framework, this study conceptualizes disaster response as a socially constructed policy shaped by collective learning and evolving national identity. Employing a qualitative exploratory design, the research analyzes government documents, academic literature, policy reports, and media sources published between 2004 and 2025 using qualitative content analysis and process tracing. The findings reveal that coordination difficulties, legal ambiguities, and dependence on external actors experienced during the 2004 tsunami reconstruction became institutionalized as collective policy memory, reinforcing an autonomy-oriented national identity that informed Indonesia's decision to limit foreign humanitarian assistance during the 2025 Sumatra floods. While this policy strengthened the government's commitment to national sovereignty and domestic disaster-management capacity, it also generated tensions between humanitarian imperatives and political independence. The study advances constructivist disaster governance by demonstrating that major disasters function not only as learning events but also as identity-forming processes that reshape state preferences regarding humanitarian intervention and international cooperation. These findings contribute to broader debates on disaster diplomacy, humanitarian governance, and the politics of sovereignty in developing countries.

Abstract

Direct regional elections have been widely recognized as a cornerstone of Indonesia's democratic decentralization, expanding political participation and strengthening the electoral legitimacy of local governments. Nevertheless, evidence regarding their contribution to public welfare remains inconclusive. Existing studies have primarily examined electoral competitiveness and democratic participation, while paying limited attention to the mechanisms through which elite capture constrains welfare governance. This study investigates how direct regional elections shape welfare outcomes through the interaction between electoral competition, political patronage, and elite behavior after two decades of decentralization in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative comparative political analysis, the study draws on secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Bank Indonesia, the World Bank, government policy documents, and leading national media reports. The findings indicate that although direct elections have enhanced democratic participation and political legitimacy, welfare improvements remain uneven across regions. High campaign costs, patronage networks, and short-term electoral incentives encourage political elites to prioritize political survival over long-term development strategies, thereby weakening welfare governance. The study identifies an electoral governance paradox in which expanded democratic participation coexists with persistent elite capture, limiting the translation of electoral legitimacy into measurable welfare outcomes. These findings contribute to the literature on democratic decentralization by demonstrating that electoral institutions alone are insufficient to improve welfare without stronger accountability mechanisms that constrain elite capture and align political incentives with long-term public welfare. Official website of these institutions and leading online media, such as Kompas, Tempo, and others. Results of the study indicate that the direct regional head elections failed to improve public welfare in the regions, and are busy recovering.

Abstract

Monitorial citizenship is a model of citizenship widely regarded as more realistic, yet the literature on it remains dominated by Western countries, thereby neglecting the specific contexts of developing nations. This study analyzes the potential for the development of the “monitorial citizen” by linking it to the context of asymmetric decentralization in Indonesia. Using a qualitative multiple-case study approach with an embedded method across four asymmetric regions (Papua, Aceh, Yogyakarta, and Jakarta), this study fully utilizes secondary data comprising regional democracy indices, the performance achievements of Regional People’s Representative Councils, and relevant regulations. The study’s findings indicated that asymmetric decentralization does not automatically influence the potential for the development of “monitorial citizens.” Variations in institutional configurations across the four case studies confirm this. Four aspects influence the development of citizen monitoring: the quality of regional democracy, the capacity of representative institutions, the availability of complementary participation channels, and the interaction between existing institutions and the public. This study also provides recommendations that emphasize institutional aspects in discourses on citizen monitoring and asymmetric decentralization.
