This study examines the impact of transformational leadership on citizen satisfaction with public service delivery in Indonesian local government context through a cross-sectional survey of 384 citizens in Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra, selected via stratified random sampling. Data were collected using validated instruments measuring transformational leadership (MLQ) and citizen satisfaction (adapted SERVQUAL), then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings reveal that transformational leadership significantly predicts citizen satisfaction with public service delivery (β = 0.672, p < 0.001), with inspirational motivation (β = 0.284, p < 0.001) and individual consideration (β = 0.267, p < 0.001) showing the strongest effects. The model explains 45.2% of variance in citizen satisfaction, with service responsiveness and reliability emerging as key mediating factors. Results demonstrate that transformational leadership practices significantly enhance citizen satisfaction with public service delivery in local government settings, where leaders demonstrating inspirational motivation and individual consideration achieve higher citizen satisfaction levels. Practical implications suggest that local governments should prioritize transformational leadership training for public officials, emphasizing inspirational communication and personalized attention to citizen needs to improve public service delivery effectiveness, thereby contributing to the growing literature on public leadership effectiveness in developing country contexts.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Suroboyo Bus priority lane sterilization policy in Corridor R1/R2 of Surabaya City. The existence of this mass transportation is expected to unravel urban traffic congestion, but operational reality on the ground shows a significant deviation in waiting times. The approach used is a descriptive qualitative research utilizing the public policy evaluation criteria from William N. Dunn, which includes effectiveness, adequacy, and responsiveness. Primary and secondary data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The research results prove that the policy implementation has not been effective because the fleet waiting time reaches 32 minutes, which exceeds the 15-minute service standard due to the loss of road space autonomy in mixed traffic. The adequacy level of the instrument is considered very weak because visual paint markings have failed to create a psychological deterrent effect without being balanced by the construction of physical barriers and law enforcement. This structural failure impacts the low responsiveness of services, which then triggers a crisis of trust and a shift in commuter behavior towards ride-hailing services. The researcher recommends tactical interventions in the form of integrated law enforcement, the installation of concrete physical separators, and the adoption of transit signal priority technology at intersections.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of e-government at the Jambi Province Cooperatives and SMEs Office and identify the factors influencing its implementation based on George Edward III’s policy implementation theory. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving office personnel and community service users as informants. The findings indicate that the implementation of e-government has not yet been optimal in supporting the delivery of digital-based public services. Several factors contribute to this condition, including ineffective communication and dissemination of information to the public, limited human resources with adequate technological competencies, implementers’ attitudes that are not fully adaptive to technological changes, and a bureaucratic structure that has not supported comprehensive system integration. These challenges affect the efficiency, accessibility, and quality of public services provided by the agency. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of strengthening coordination among stakeholders and improving institutional readiness in implementing digital governance. The study concludes that efforts to improve human resource capacity, enhance public outreach, and develop an integrated information system are essential to optimize e-government implementation and improve the quality, effectiveness, and responsiveness of public services in the digital era.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of public service ethics by front office officers at the Public Service Mall (Mall Pelayanan Publik/MPP) of Samarinda City and its impact on the image of government institutions. As the frontline of public service delivery, front office personnel play a strategic role in shaping public perceptions and fostering public trust in government services. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with a functional licensing officer at the Department of Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services (DPMPTSP) of Samarinda City, supported by direct field observations. The findings reveal that the implementation of service ethics at the Samarinda MPP is guided by the principles outlined in Law No. 25 of 2009 on Public Services and the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Regulation No. 15 of 2014 concerning Service Standards. These regulations emphasize the values of integrity, professionalism, accountability, responsiveness, and inclusiveness in service delivery. Furthermore, effective coordination among service tenants, continuous improvement of employee competencies, and adaptation to digital systems such as the Online Single Submission (OSS) platform have contributed significantly to maintaining service quality. The study concludes that the consistent application of public service ethics enhances citizen satisfaction, strengthens public trust, and positively influences the image of government institutions in the community.  

Public Wi-Fi services (Wifi_STAKat) at the State Catholic College of Pontianak continue to face technical issues, such as network speed and connection stability, as well as non-technical challenges, including the responsiveness of administrators to user complaints. This study aims to analyze user satisfaction based on the five Servqual dimensions and to map improvement priorities using the Importance–Performance Analysis (IPA) method. The relationship between Servqual and IPA is explained by mapping GAP values (perception–expectation) into the four IPA quadrants to determine the urgency level of service improvements. A 4-point Likert scale was used to avoid neutral responses and strengthen the clarity of respondents’ perceptions. The results show that all dimensions have negative GAP scores, particularly responsiveness and reliability, which are directly related to technical indicators (speed, stability, coverage) and non-technical factors (responsiveness to complaints, ease of access. The study recommends integrating an IT-based monitoring system and increasing network capacity to improve service quality.

Issues were identified in the areas of human resources, facilities, coordination, supervision, as well as low levels of empathy and service responsiveness. The study concludes that the performance management system does not yet fully support improvements in the quality of healthcare services; therefore, an evaluation based on service outcomes and patient satisfaction is required.

This study is motivated by the importance of improving the performance of police officers as the frontline of public service, which is influenced by transformational leadership, organizational communication, and work discipline. In practice, variations in officer performance are still observed at police precincts under the Solok Police Department, as evidenced by differences in case resolution rates, service responsiveness, and the effectiveness of task execution. These conditions are suspected to be related to the suboptimal implementation of transformational leadership, organizational communication, and work discipline among officers. This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership and organizational communication on police officer performance, as well as to test the role of work discipline as a moderating variable. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a field research design. The study population consisted of all 126 members of the police stations under the Solok Police Department, with a sample size of 124 respondents. Data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires to police officers, which were then analyzed using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results of the study indicate that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on member performance, with a coefficient of 0.754, a T-statistic of 3.550 (>1.96), and a P-value of 0.000 (<0.05); thus, the first hypothesis is accepted. Organizational communication has a negative and significant effect on performance with a coefficient of -0.615, a T-statistic of 2.509 (>1.96), and a P-value of 0.012 (<0.05). Work discipline does not moderate the effects of transformational leadership or organizational communication on performance, as both show insignificant results. In conclusion, improved police officer performance can be achieved through the implementation of effective transformational leadership and the strengthening of organizational communication.

This research specifically examines how the involvement of the community in the process of digitizing services at the population and civil registration office of Gorontalo City. Co-production is a collaboration between the government and the community to improve the quality, effectiveness, and satisfaction of services. The main problems in this study are the low participation of the community in population administration and challenges in the efficiency of services and the use of digital technology. The method used is qualitative descriptive through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that co-production has been implemented through community involvement in data verification, the use of digital services, and active communication between officers and the community. However, there are still obstacles such as low digital literacy and limited human resources. In addition, technology infrastructure and internet access factors also affect the optimization of digital services. This study concludes that co-production is able to increase the effectiveness, responsiveness, and accountability of public services, although efforts are still needed to increase institutional capacity and community participation in a sustainable manner as well as a more inclusive digital education strategy.

This research is motivated by the importance of strengthening a professional public service culture through the integration of public administration values, norms, and ethics. Although various regulations and codes of ethics have been established in public organizations, gaps remain between formal norms and service practices in the field, such as low levels of responsiveness and professionalism among civil servants. This study aims to analyze the relationship between values, norms, and ethics in shaping public service culture, and to examine the role of organizational ethics and codes of ethics in strengthening public administration professionalism. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design through a literature review of relevant journals, books, and policy documents. Content analysis techniques were used to identify patterns of relationships between concepts. The results indicate that the internalization of ethical values ​​such as integrity, accountability, and transparency significantly influences the quality of public services. An organizational code of ethics serves as a formal instrument that clarifies standards of conduct for civil servants and strengthens a professional work culture. Consequently, public organizations need to strengthen ethics training, oversight mechanisms, and the integration of ethical values ​​into performance evaluation systems to build responsive and public-interest-oriented services.

This study examines the application of innovation in public services based on digital technology as a strategic approach to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and overall quality of government services. The digitization of service delivery through e-government initiatives, smart governance frameworks, and various applications such as SEPP, E-Lapor, JAKI, and OpenSID has been proven to accelerate administrative processes, simplify complex bureaucratic procedures, and significantly expand public access to services. In addition, these digital platforms contribute to more inclusive and user-oriented public service systems. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of technology in improving service delivery and to identify strategic steps that can be taken to address the challenges associated with service innovation in the public sector. Qualitative research methods were applied, utilizing data collection techniques through an extensive literature review of relevant academic and policy sources. The findings illustrate that technology-based innovation not only supports improved service performance but also strengthens accountability, responsiveness, and public participation in governance processes.

This study aims to evaluate the quality of public services at the Department of Population and Civil Registration of West Sumba Regency following the implementation of digitalization through the use of electronic signatures. A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method to identify gaps between the level of importance and service performance. The results indicate that, overall, service quality can be categorized as fairly good, as reflected by performance levels that are relatively close to public expectations. However, several service attributes remain in the priority quadrant, particularly in terms of system usability, service stability, and accessibility. Meanwhile, attributes such as service speed, data security, and staff responsiveness demonstrate satisfactory performance and should be maintained. These findings suggest that the implementation of electronic signatures has improved service efficiency and effectiveness, although further improvements are still required, particularly in technical aspects and system usability. Therefore, continuous improvement efforts are necessary to enhance public service quality, making it more responsive and oriented toward user satisfaction.

Public service quality serves as a crucial metric for assessing how well the government meets the needs and expectations of the community. Within public administration, the effectiveness of public services indicates the government's capability to deliver governance that is open, responsible, and focused on the citizens. In Indonesia, one tool for gauging public service effectiveness is the Community Satisfaction Index (Indeks Kepuasan Masyarakat/IKM). This research seeks to examine how community satisfaction in public services is measured by identifying various service components and the approach used to compute the IKM. A descriptive qualitative research method is employed, utilizing a literature review. Information was gathered from books, academic journals, government regulations, and other scholarly materials relevant to public service quality and community satisfaction. The results reveal that the IKM measurement system offers a comprehensive framework for assessing the performance of public services based on several aspects, including service requirements, processes, completion time, costs, the skills and conduct of service personnel, and available facilities. Additionally, the findings demonstrate that enhancements in service quality, transparency, and the responsiveness of public organizations greatly affect community satisfaction levels. As a result, ongoing assessments of public services through the IKM framework are vital for improving governance effectiveness, boosting service delivery, and reinforcing public confidence in government agencies.

Public service plays a fundamental role in fulfilling citizens’ rights and needs within modern governance systems. The increasing complexity of social, economic, and technological changes has encouraged the transformation of public administration paradigms. This study aims to analyze the evolution of public service paradigms from Old Public Administration to Network Governance, identify the key characteristics of each paradigm, and explain the shift in values and the role of the state in public service delivery. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method by examining various academic sources related to public administration theories and public service governance. The analysis was conducted through content analysis and comparative analysis to identify conceptual developments and paradigm differences in public administration. The results indicate that public service paradigms have evolved from hierarchical and rule-based governance toward more collaborative and participatory governance models. Old Public Administration emphasizes bureaucratic hierarchy and administrative control, New Public Management focuses on efficiency and performance-based management, while New Public Service highlights citizen participation and democratic values. The most recent paradigm, Network Governance, promotes collaboration among government, private sector, and civil society in addressing complex public issues. These findings suggest that contemporary public administration increasingly adopts a hybrid governance approach that integrates elements of various paradigms to enhance the effectiveness and responsiveness of public service delivery.

This study examines the effectiveness of public service management in Ponorogo Regency's transport sector, focusing on the performance gap between traffic asset conditions (signs, traffic lights) and formal maintenance policies. This gap indicates a non-proactive maintenance cycle, exacerbated by limited resources and low organisational responsiveness to public complaints. Employing a qualitative case study grounded in a synthesis of Edwards III's Policy Implementation Theory and the New Public Service (NPS) perspective, the core findings confirm that frontline officials' low proactive disposition mediates policy implementation failure. Instead of proactive responsiveness (anticipating minor damage), officials often exhibit passive responsiveness (acting only after major incidents or reports), leading to a critical breakdown in which administrative procedures are completed but the public outcome remains poor. The novelty of this research lies in proposing a Proactive and Participatory Governance Model. This model necessitates the institutionalisation of Public Involvement (Participation) to enhance transparency and shift asset performance evaluation from output-oriented to outcome-oriented. The study concludes that the optimal model for the Ponorogo Transportation Department is the synergy between agile asset management and NPS principles (proactive and participatory) to enhance public service effectiveness.

The structural realignment of public sector governance, catalyzed by rapid technological evolution, has compelled PT Pos Indonesia to institute the Pospay digital ecosystem. Nonetheless, this paradigm shift frequently collides with deeply entrenched sociological resistance in empirical settings. This inquiry endeavors to scrutinize the service quality of Pospay while exploring the systemic challenges posed by conventional transaction habits at the Main Branch Post Office in Surabaya. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach, empirical data were garnered through semi-structured interviews, non-participant field observations, and institutional document analysis. Informants were selected via purposive sampling, encapsulating the operational manager, a front-line service officer, and a service consumer. Data processing adhered to the interactive analysis framework of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014). Framed through Parasuraman’s SERVQUAL model, the analytical results demonstrate that while the responsiveness and assurance parameters operate at an optimal level, the reliability dimension remains disrupted by sporadic system latency. More significantly, a profound cultural lag actively decelerates this technological migration. Service users manifest a chronic reliance on physical counters, structured by marginal digital literacy, a psychological mandate for physical artifacts as transaction validation, and a preference for real-time interpersonal encounters. Adaptive institutional countermeasures specifically on-site digital mentorship and hybrid validation mechanisms have been strategically deployed to attenuate this sociocultural disconnect.
