Libraries play a crucial role in broadening the public's knowledge horizons by improving literacy skills. However, the reality at the Samaturu Library in Jambu Malea Village shows that manual management still dominates, leading to various administrative obstacles such as data irregularities, the risk of losing important information, and inefficiencies in tracking daily activities. This condition demands digital transformation to optimize public services at the village level comprehensively and sustainably. This research focuses on the development of a web-based library information system specifically designed to modernize administrative processes to be more systematic, fast, and organized. Built using the PHP programming language and MySQL database, this platform offers an intuitive interface for both staff and members. Its superior features include book data management, membership, activity agendas, announcements, and digitizing the borrowing and return process. Furthermore, the system is capable of automatically generating periodic reports to facilitate library performance evaluation. Based on the results of comprehensive testing using the Black Box Testing method, all system functionality was proven to operate optimally according to the required specifications. Direct user trials also showed very positive responses regarding aspects of ease of navigation and operational time efficiency. The implementation of this system is expected to improve the effectiveness of internal management, accelerate the quality of services to library users, and become a major catalyst in realizing superior digital literacy governance in rural areas

This study aims to examine the factors that influence students’ interest in learning Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMA Daruttaqwa Dahanrejo Kebomas Gresik. The research applies a qualitative method using a case study approach. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and administrative staff, as well as direct observation of the PAI learning process. The results reveal that students’ learning interest is shaped by both internal and external factors. Internal factors include individual characteristics, intellectual ability, and psychological conditions. Meanwhile, external factors consist of the role of competent teachers, parental support, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, and a supportive learning environment. The implementation of PAI learning involves various methods, such as lectures, storytelling of prophets and pious scholars, question-and-answer activities, the use of social and visual media, assignments, discussions, and role modeling. Factors that enhance learning interest include teacher motivation, family support, a conducive environment, alignment with students’ interests, and the quality of learning materials. The primary obstacle identified is the suboptimal management and scheduling of instructional time.

This research aims to analyze the strategic role of management psychology in enhancing the performance and effectiveness of educational organizations through a systematic literature review. The development of modern educational organizations demands human resource management that is not only oriented toward administrative aspects but also considers the psychological dynamics of individuals, including behavior, motivation, and interpersonal relationships. The research method used is qualitative with a literature review approach, analyzing relevant scientific articles from the Google Scholar database. The results of the study indicate that management psychology contributes significantly to organizational productivity through three main aspects: effective organizational communication to build trust, psychology-based leadership that increases work motivation and satisfaction through recognition and fairness, and constructive conflict management that transforms tension into opportunities for innovation. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the integration of various psychological dimensions, such as organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and self-efficacy, is a key element in creating a conducive work environment. Therefore, leaders of educational institutions are advised to adopt a humanistic leadership style to optimize the potential of human resources and achieve superior educational quality in a sustainable and effective manner within the modern era.

The development of the digital era has significantly transformed government administration, particularly in technology-based public services. This transformation requires strengthening the principles of good governance, which include transparency, accountability, public participation, effectiveness, efficiency, and legal certainty. State Administrative Law plays a strategic role in ensuring that bureaucratic digitalization remains within the correct legal framework and does not deviate from good governance principles. This study employs a normative juridical approach with a literature review method to analyze the role of State Administrative Law in strengthening good governance in the digital era. The findings show that State Administrative Law functions as an instrument of legality, discretionary control, data protection, improved accountability, and enhanced public service efficiency. Thus, State Administrative Law is not only regulatory but also adaptive to technological developments in achieving good governance in the digital era.

ABSTRACT There must be a fair and balanced application of the legal rights and responsibilities that arise from the employment relationship between employers and employees. Employers' continued activities of withholding diplomas from workers, even after the employment relationship has ended, may have negative consequences for workers and limit their ability to find new career possibilities. The purpose of this research is to examine the employment agreement's provisions on the parties' respective roles and responsibilities in the workplace, and to determine whether or not employees have any recourse if their employers choose to retain their diplomas even after the job relationship has ended. Normative legal research using conceptual, factual, and regulatory approaches is the study technique used. Holding workers' diplomas is illegal, violates their human rights, and goes against labor laws and regulations, according to the report. Legislation protects employees both preemptively, via government oversight and normative regulation, and punitively, via processes for resolving disputes in industrial relations and the imposition of administrative, civil, and criminal penalties. Companies cannot legitimately withhold diplomas; thus, this practice must end in order to provide legal clarity and respect for workers' dignity. Keywords : Legal Protection, Workers, Diploma.

The rapid development of corporate business activities in Indonesia has contributed positively to economic growth; however, it also has the potential to cause losses to consumers. In practice, corporations often engage in unlawful acts that harm consumers, including violations of consumer rights, the provision of goods and/or services that do not meet required standards, and actions that contravene statutory regulations. This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection for consumers as well as corporate liability for unlawful acts committed by corporations. This research employs a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials used consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, which are analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that legal protection for consumers has been regulated in various laws and regulations, particularly the Consumer Protection Law; however, its implementation still faces several challenges, such as weak law enforcement, low consumer awareness, and the complexity of proving corporate liability as a legal subject. Furthermore, corporate liability may be imposed through civil, criminal, and administrative sanctions depending on the nature of the violation committed. In conclusion, strengthening regulations and more effective law enforcement are necessary to ensure consumer protection from unlawful acts by corporations. In addition, enhancing the role of supervisory institutions and public legal awareness is essential to create a balance between the interests of business actors and consumers.

This study examines the relationship between organizational culture and the sustainability of public service innovation within government bureaucracy. Although many public service innovations show positive results in the initial stages, many do not sustain in the long term. This indicates the presence of fundamental factors affecting innovation sustainability, one of which is organizational culture. Organizational culture plays a role in shaping the behavior, values, and work methods of civil servants in providing services to the public. This study aims to analyze the role of organizational culture in supporting or hindering the sustainability of public service innovations. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this study analyzes 20 relevant scientific articles from 2002 to 2025. The results indicate that hierarchical, rigid, and administratively-oriented organizational cultures hinder innovation sustainability. Other factors such as low leadership support, limited incentives, and resistance to change also strengthen these barriers. Conversely, an open, collaborative, and adaptive organizational culture to change enhances the likelihood of innovation sustainability. In conclusion, the success of public service innovations is greatly influenced by the organizational culture underlying the behavior of civil servants. Therefore, transforming organizational culture to be more innovative and adaptive is a strategic step to strengthen the sustainability of innovation.

The provision of legal aid represents the state’s responsibility to ensure access to justice and legal protection, particularly for impoverished and vulnerable groups. Within the framework of regional governance, this responsibility is carried out by local governments through regional apparatuses with authority in legal affairs, including the Legal Bureau of Central Java Province. This article examines the position and authority of the Central Java Provincial Legal Bureau in the administration of legal aid and analyzes the urgency of its dual role as both facilitator and regulator. This study aims to analyze the legal basis of such authority and the implications of the dual role in the implementation of regional legal aid. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that the Legal Bureau of Central Java Province possesses administrative authority derived from the delegation of authority by the governor, enabling it to perform both facilitative and regulatory functions in legal aid administration. However, the absence of explicit regulatory boundaries between these roles potentially leads to overlapping authority. Nevertheless, as long as these roles are exercised in accordance with their legal basis and the principles of good governance, the dual role may function as an effective administrative instrument to ensure the effective delivery of legal aid and the protection of citizens’ rights.   Keywords : legal aid, authority, dual role.

It enables faster data access, better document organization, and reduced risk of physical damage. Therefore, the system offers a practical solution to enhance administrative efficiency and support digital transformation within the DPRD Secretariat of Southwest Sumba Regency.

Leadership constitutes a critical determinant of organizational efficiency, yet the relationship between leadership styles and administrative effectiveness remains incompletely understood, particularly across different institutional contexts. This comparative study examines how transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles influence administrative efficiency in public and private sector institutions in Indonesia. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected from 428 employees across 28 public institutions and 24 private organizations through validated survey instruments; qualitative data were gathered through 36 semi-structured interviews with organizational leaders and managers. Results reveal significant positive relationships between transformational leadership and administrative efficiency in both sectors (β = 0.54, p < 0.001 for public; β = 0.48, p < 0.001 for private), with transactional leadership showing moderate positive effects (β = 0.32 public; β = 0.38 private) and laissez-faire leadership demonstrating negative relationships (β = −0.28 public; β = −0.24 private). Leadership styles collectively explain 52% of efficiency variance. Mediation analysis reveals that organizational culture (28%), employee engagement (35%), and trust in leadership (22%) partially mediate transformational leadership's effects, together accounting for 62% of total indirect effects. Sector differences emerged qualitatively: transformational leadership leverages public service motivation in public institutions, while transactional leadership's performance accountability resonates more strongly in private organizations. The study contributes theoretical understanding of leadership effectiveness across institutional contexts and provides practical guidance for developing contextually appropriate leadership development programs.

This study aims to analyze the application of good governance principles in the management of ECE grants by regional governments, focusing on aspects of transparency, accountability, public participation, and legal certainty. The study employs a qualitative approach using Qualitative Secondary Analysis (QSA), analyzing various secondary data sources such as policy documents, government reports, previous research findings, and relevant academic literature on education grant management. Data analysis was conducted systematically through data reduction, categorization, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the implementation of transparency in ECE grant management is reflected in the openness of information regarding grant application procedures, recipient selection mechanisms, and fund usage reporting. Accountability is realized through administrative and financial accountability mechanisms that must be fulfilled by both regional governments and ECE institutions receiving the grants. Public participation is evident from the involvement of communities, ECE institution managers, and parents in the planning, implementation, and supervision of the grant program. Meanwhile, legal certainty in grant management is demonstrated by the existence of regulations that clearly govern grant provision mechanisms, fund disbursement procedures, and obligations for reporting and accountability in fund utilization. The study concludes that the application of good governance principles in the management of ECE grants by regional governments plays a crucial role in enhancing transparency, accountability, and effectiveness in educational fund management. Furthermore, community involvement and regulatory certainty serve as key supporting factors in achieving better governance of education grants.

Bureaucracies worldwide face increasing pressure to innovate due to rising citizen expectations, technological disruption, and fiscal constraints. The digital era offers significant opportunities to transform public service delivery by overcoming traditional administrative barriers. This study employs a multiple case study design, analyzing 18 innovative public service initiatives in Indonesia recognized for service innovation. Data were collected through document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and direct observations. Using Innovation Diffusion Theory and Institutional Theory, the study examines innovation adoption, implementation, and sustainability. The findings show that successful bureaucratic innovations share six key characteristics: strong leadership, citizen-centric design, effective use of digital technologies, incremental implementation, institutionalization through regulations, and external partnerships. However, major barriers include rigid regulations, risk-averse organizational culture, fragmented authority, limited resources, inadequate digital infrastructure, and political influences. Digital technology plays a crucial enabling role, yet it must be supported by organizational change, capacity building, and cultural transformation. This study provides policy recommendations to support regulatory reform, strengthen innovation systems, and foster innovation-friendly public sector environments.

Culinary MSMEs play a crucial role in supporting the regional economy, including in Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. However, sole proprietorships in this sector still face significant challenges, particularly related to limited access to capital. This study aims to explore the relationship between limited capital and the sustainability of sole proprietorships in the culinary sector in Kolaka Regency, considering influencing factors such as family support, local government policies, and local market dynamics. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. Informants were purposively selected from sole proprietorships in the culinary sector who had been operating their businesses for at least two years. The results show that limited capital is not only a simple financial barrier but also directly impacts the business's ability to innovate, maintain product quality, expand market reach, and survive competition. Most entrepreneurs rely on personal capital and informal loans from family, while access to formal financial institutions remains very limited due to complicated administrative procedures and low financial literacy. Business sustainability is heavily influenced by personal adaptation strategies, community support, and the gradual building of customer trust. This study recommends strengthening financial literacy, simplifying credit access procedures, and enhancing local government involvement in building a more environmentally friendly business ecosystem for local culinary MSMEs.

This study aims to explain the ambiguous role of higher education institutions in ensuring the safety and human rights of students as citizens. The increasing number of cases of academic violence, bullying, and excessive pressure indicates that the functions of universities are often limited to purely administrative aspects, thereby neglecting the need for legal protection. This research employs a normative legal method with a conceptual analysis approach to examine how the state, through its legal framework, defines the role of universities as both educational institutions and legal entities in carrying out the delegated responsibility of protecting human rights. The findings reveal that the state has not succeeded in effectively regulating student protection, as there is a significant gap between central regulations and their implementation within autonomous campuses. Although the state normatively requires universities to provide a safe environment for students, the lack of adequate oversight systems has resulted in protection measures that are largely reactive. This condition leaves limited room for preventive actions, indicating that the protection of students’ rights has not yet been implemented in a comprehensive and sustainable manner.

The transformation of public services has become a key priority in public administration reform, driven by growing public demands for government services that are more responsive, transparent, and oriented toward the public interest. In this context, the concept of Public Value Creation has emerged as an approach that emphasizes the creation of social value as the primary objective of public service delivery. This study aims to analyze the role of Public Value Creation as a conceptual framework in public service transformation oriented toward the public interest. The study employs a qualitative approach through a literature review, examining various relevant academic sources on public value theory, contemporary public administration, and public service transformation. The findings indicate that Public Value Creation plays a role in driving a paradigm shift in public service from an administrative bureaucratic orientation toward service focused on creating social benefits for the community. This approach also strengthens a community-centered service orientation, fosters collaboration between the government and various stakeholders, and supports public service innovation, including through the utilization of digital technology. The implications of this research suggest that the concept of public value can serve as a conceptual foundation for the government in designing more inclusive public service policies and innovations

Thus, the implementation of good operational administration is able to support the smooth running of the company's activities as a whole.

Tourism regulations play a critical role in shaping destination competitiveness and influencing tourist travel decisions, yet empirical evidence on their effectiveness across different institutional contexts remains limited. This study investigates the impact of tourism regulations on tourist visit performance through a comparative quantitative analysis of Indonesia and Singapore. Using panel data covering the period 2010–2023, this research employs a fixed-effects regression model to examine the relationship between regulatory quality and tourist arrivals, while controlling for economic conditions and transport infrastructure. The findings reveal that tourism regulations have a positive and statistically significant effect on tourist visit performance in both countries. However, the magnitude of the effect is substantially stronger in Singapore, indicating higher regulatory efficiency and institutional effectiveness in translating policy interventions into tourism demand. These results support institutional and tourism demand theories, emphasizing that regulatory quality, rather than regulatory volume, is a key determinant of tourism performance. The study contributes to the tourism policy literature by providing cross-national empirical evidence on regulatory impacts and highlighting the importance of governance capacity in tourism development. From a policy perspective, the findings suggest that countries should prioritize regulatory coherence, administrative efficiency, and adaptive governance to enhance tourism competitiveness and resilience.

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.
