Abstract

Health workers are often exposed to health risks and danger in the discharge of their duties. This is especially distressing during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study employs a multiple case study design to investigate the COVID-19 emergency management of frontline workers in South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria. The findings from the study reveal that governments in the selected countries prioritize the response phase of the emergency management theory over the mitigation and preparedness phases. The response phase was meted with inevitable consequences. Health workers feared risking their lives, and the majority threatened to abandon their jobs due to insufficient personal protective equipment (PPE) and welfare support. The study concludes that the government should prioritize all the phases of emergency management instead of focusing on the response phase, which involves the use of both human and financial resources on an overwhelming pandemic. They should have prepared the frontline workers adequately and equipped their health systems in preparation for any impending epidemic.

Abstract

Promising industrial profiles of Southeast Asian emerging economies have met their developmental limits in the face of the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s. However, following the crisis, they have not been successful in upscaling the technological competitiveness of their industries. By applying the national innovation system approach originally developed in advanced western economies as an institutional mechanism of policy innovation in light of developmentalism, I seek to explain these persistent developmental limits in Malaysia and Indonesia. My qualitative research examines literature discussing policy coordination mechanisms in innovation policies and policy documents containing coordination mechanisms involving firms, universities, and government agencies; then, how these issues implicate innovation policies in the two countries. I employ a comparative institutional analysis between them focusing on institutional characteristics of the national innovation systems, specifically their institutional obstacles occurring within development paths amidst prevailing political environments. I suggest that persistent developmental limits in Malaysia and Indonesia result from systemic failures of achieving developmental aims regardless of their politico-administrative regimes. Existing institutional frameworks of the national innovation systems, entrenched in the socio-economic prevalence of the two countries, have not fit the nations’ developmental aims pursued upon innovation upgrading.

Abstract

This research describes the policy formulation of the odd-even traffic restriction system in DKI Jakarta from the perspective of an evidence- based policy. The odd-even policy seeks to solve congestion and environmental problems due to using private vehicles that have not been fully resolved. The researchers used the concept of evidence-based policy (Head, 2008) to understand three dimensions of evidence, namely political knowledge, scientific (research-based) knowledge, and practical implementation knowledge. The researchers used the post-positivist paradigm in this study to obtain a holistic analysis and to understand the possibility of other variables not discussed in previous theories through in-depth interviews and literature studies. The results show there was stakeholder involvement in the systemic-participatory process limited to NGOs and academics. Meanwhile, business interest groups were reactively involved through mass media support. The Transportation Department of DKI Jakarta had used data and information in the traffic restriction policy formulation with the odd-even system. Limitations in data resulted in the inability to provide a holistic picture related to traffic conditions and the effects of the odd-even policy implementation in DKI Jakarta. Practically, the odd-even policy formulation had shaped the preparedness of the implementing instruments in the odd-even policy implementation. Meanwhile, theoretically, this study found two determinant factors in the formation of political knowledge not stated by Head (2008), namely legal certainty and mass media role.

Abstract

Energy policy recently became an issue that has been highlighted by various parties, including academics in Indonesia. This coincides with the signs of the climate crisis, and the environmental damage that is affected by energy management. Although, there have been many studies discussing it, so far, there has been no research showing the direction of energy policy in Indonesia. Thus, this paper aims to map the trends in the literature. Bibliometric analysis is used to map topics raised from various research article by looking at the most common keywords, and identifying the most cited and productive sources. Per the results, the discussion of renewable energy and related topics became the dominant issue in the mapping of this main topic from 2003 to 2021. Then Energy Policy Journal the most cited reference, and the Iop Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science became the most productive source. The results of this study indicate indirectly, how far Indonesia's energy policy has developed periodically. Including how Indonesia amid various countries has been campaigning for renewable energy that pays attention to the environment. Besides, this research also provides future research agendas for others to examine energy policy in Indonesia from various perspectives that have not been studied previously.

Abstract

Resource-based theory (RBT) has gained its maturity as a theory, and it has heavily shaped the path of research in the organization and management field. However, RBT has been criticized due to its quality and deemed to be a theory that is tautological. This study explores the evolution of resource-based theory (RBT) using the Thomas Kuhn cycle. Employing a critical literature review approach, this study identifies all articles related to RBT in the organization and management field from 1959 to 2021 and finds 141 articles. The findings have demonstrated that RBT has evolved, and it has become a better ‘puzzle solver’ as it provides a more comprehensive theoretical lens to analyze broader phenomenon of organization, particularly concerning its competitive advantage. Nonetheless, the study also sheds some light on the potential weaknesses of RBT. Inclusiveness of RBT is suggested to be a sign of tautology as the theory has a very broad definition of resources hence can embrace all phenomena in the field of organization’s strategic management. In addition to that, scholars find difficulty to define or operationalize several key concepts in RBT leading to obstruction in its ability to be tested empirically. And the vagueness of concepts creates a tautology problem in RBT that the theory cannot be verified or falsified. Thomas Kuhn suggests that theories can be developed, thus, despite its current weakness, RBT can still be improved by increasing accuracy of its key concepts. From the analysis, this study develops a theoretical recommendation regarding the use of RBT theory particularly in public administration research.

Abstract

Understanding citizens’ satisfaction with public service is crucial for effective and efficient governance. In this milieu, this paper intended to examine the factors that drive citizen satisfaction with public service. Data on this topic were taken from the Nepal National Governance Survey 2017/18, and analyzed using a logistic regression model. The findings revealed that compliance with the rule, responsiveness, prompt service delivery, receiving service own self, and hassle-free service have a positive effect on citizen satisfaction, whereas paid/asked bribes and service attempts have a negative effect. Hence, cautious intervention in these factors is pivotal to ensure higher citizen satisfaction with public service.

Abstract

The progress of Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) is presumed to pose challenges and implications for Indonesia. This study has the aim to investigate the impact of the recent development of sub-regional cooperation and cross-border economic development within GMS on Indonesia’s industrial development. Using qualitative methods, this study analyzed some variables, i.e., the background of GMS cooperation, infrastructure and investment progress, and Indonesia’s related economic policies and development. Data and information were collected from many sources (i.e., statistical databases, articles, newspapers, websites, un- and published documents, etc.) and presented qualitatively. This study found that GMS economic cooperation and development have lessons learned and implications for the industrial development in Indonesia. The efficiency of the service sector within GMS was contributed by the successful implementation of policies on infrastructure development since the beginning of the 1990s. The flying geese behavior and industrial fragmentation within GMS were contributed by a different stage of industrial development, different comparative advantage, and improvement of the service sector. The implication of GMS cooperation for Indonesia is the importance of public policy stability, more attractive investment of high-end products in GMS than Indonesia, and potential diminishing of Indonesia’s export.

Abstract

The provision of public services in various regions in Indonesia began to be integrated into the public service mall (PSM) or Mall Pelayanan Publik (MPP), an expansion of the Office of Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services (DPMPTSP). The evaluation of public services showed a significant increase in the public service achievement index (Kemenpan RB, 2021). However, this evaluation was based on the perspective of the public as service users, whilst other crucial perspectives, namely internal processes, employee learning, and growth, and finance, are yet to be considered. For the comprehensive performance evaluation, a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) was employed in this study. This study aims to measure the performances of 11 MPP using the scorecard, in which the scores can be used as a basis for improvement and reinforcement of MPP in the future. By using a mix method approach, the results found that two aspects, finance and employee learning and growth, experience the lowest score. Meanwhile, two other dimensions (service quality and internal processes) obtained optimum results. These findings bring a main recommendation to revisit the nomenclature of MPP: expected to adopt data and authority integration, improve management clarity, and enhance organization capacity and capability.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is a multi-faceted crisis with a very high public health risk. The more difficult the pandemic, the greater emphasis must be placed on effective government communications. It will play a major role in responding to the pandemic successfully. Meanwhile, ineffective government communication has resulted in widespread public uncertainty and major blunders in reacting to escalating health dangers have had potentially devastating health and social consequences for society, as well as protracted the outbreak. This paper conducts an empirical and comparative analysis of the determinants of government communication strategies in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea and Indonesia. It aims to explain the success of Korean public communication compared to Indonesia. This study uses a literature review along with a case study using comparable variables. The determining factors used are initial conditions, institutional capacity, transparency, effective coordination, and collaboration between stakeholders. Evidence shows that Korea is better off across all determinants. The lessons from the experience of government communication strategies in responding to the pandemic in these two countries can be used to teach other countries what to do and not to do in government communication services in the midst of a pandemic situation.

Abstract

This article discusses strategic planning implementation of the public sector within Indonesia’s hierarchical administration system. Many studies on public sector strategic planning have been carried out both at the national and local levels. However, the disclosure of various obstacles and challenges in the implementation of strategic planning at the local level is still partial and sectoral. A qualitative strategy was used to explain this phenomenon with participatory observation in 69 regency/municipalities as the main data collection method, in addition to document analysis and in-depth interviews. The key findings from this article are that many strategic planning documents are a mere formality, are not strategic, and are not referred to in executing development activities. The challenges in strategic planning implementation were identified as being poor information and data quality and quantity, weak bargaining position that regencies/municipalities have against higher tiered administration, limited capacity of mid-level managers, limited capacity of planners, formal engagement of stakeholders, and unconducive political environment. Improvement of the evaluation model based on the achievement of outcomes, reducing the ministry's sectoral ego, improving the capacity of evaluators and the need for the involvement of other parties such as credible universities will create a multiplier effect for all stakeholders.
