This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of public administration and policy implementation in Indonesia from 2009 to 2025, following the PRISMA framework. Drawing on 44 peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus, the review examines the impact of decentralization, digital transformation, and governance innovation on policy outcomes and administrative reform. The findings indicate that decentralization has enabled local experimentation and improved service responsiveness. However, it has also resulted in uneven policy capacity and governance disparities across regions. Sectoral implementation, especially in health, welfare, and food safety, remains inconsistent, largely due to institutional fragmentation, political interference, and capacity limitations. Although efforts to implement New Public Management (NPM) principles and digital tools have been made, bureaucratic inertia, coordination failures, and limited flexibility hinder reform progress. The rise of e-government and agile governance shows promise in enhancing efficiency and public participation. However, these advancements are still hampered by digital divides and regulatory uncertainties. The COVID-19 pandemic further exposed critical vulnerabilities in policy execution, underscoring the need for resilient, adaptive governance models capable of responding to unforeseen crises. This review contributes to the understanding of Indonesia’s evolving administrative landscape and offers several practical recommendations. These include strengthening intergovernmental coordination, investing in local administrative capacity, fostering participatory governance, and institutionalizing agile, collaborative practices. The study highlights the importance of integrated, inclusive, and data-driven governance to improve public sector performance and ensure democratic accountability. By focusing on these areas, Indonesia can better address the challenges of public administration and policy implementation, driving long-term sustainable development and effective governance in the country.

This study aims to analyze the factors that affect passenger satisfaction at the airport through three main perspectives, namely: service, technology, and operations. The approach used is a literature study of ten scientific journals that discuss airport service quality from various aspects. The results of the study show that service quality, especially those covering SERVQUAL dimensions such as reliability, responsiveness, empathy, assurance, and physical evidence, plays a major role in shaping service user perceptions. The technology perspective, through the implementation of self-service such as self check-in, Flight Information Display Sistem (FIDS), and digital service applications, is proven to increase efficiency and convenience, even contributing up to 96.8% to user satisfaction according to one study. Meanwhile, from an operational perspective, aspects such as queue time at check-in counters, public facilities, and accessibility to the terminal also have a significant impact on the overall passenger experience. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of integration between the three perspectives in designing strategies to improve airport service quality. Suggestions are given to airport managers to continue to improve services, expand technology adoption, and reorganize operations to create a safe, comfortable, and satisfying travel experience for all service users

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing passenger satisfaction at airports through three main perspectives: service, technology, and operations. The background of this research is based on the increasing competition between airports in providing an optimal travel experience amidst the development of the aviation industry and the increasing passenger demands for service quality. This study uses a literature study approach by analyzing ten selected scientific journals that specifically discuss airport service quality from various perspectives. The results of the study indicate that the service perspective, specifically those encompassing SERVQUAL dimensions such as reliability, responsiveness, empathy, assurance, and tangibles, has a significant contribution in shaping the perception and satisfaction of airport service users. The technology perspective also plays a significant role, particularly through the implementation of self-services such as self-check-in, Flight Information Display Sistem (FIDS), e-gates, and digital service applications that simplify the travel process. One of the studies analyzed shows that the application of technology can contribute up to 96.8% to user satisfaction, indicating the significant role of digitalization in this industry. From the operational side, factors such as speed of service at the check-in counter, queue time management, completeness and cleanliness of public facilities, and ease of access to the terminal have an equally important influence. These findings underscore that passenger satisfaction is influenced not only by service quality at the point of direct interaction, but also by the smoothness of the overall operational flow. The study's conclusions emphasize the importance of integrating these three perspectives in strategic planning for airport service improvement.  

Technological developments have penetrated various sectors of life, including in the transportation and communication lines in Indonesia. KAI Access is a digital service issued by PT Kereta Api Indonesia in the form of an application. This application is present as a strategic innovation to improve the convenience and comfort of customers in accessing various train services, from ticket bookings, schedule information, to cancellations and refunds. However, from the complaint data submitted by customers, there are two biggest problems that are often experienced, namely related to responsiveness and action from KAI Access which is considered slow in handling user complaints and technical problems. When quick response services are not accompanied by concrete settlement actions, customer trust tends to decline. This research is based on service theory with a service quality and excellent service approach, where the variables of responsiveness and action are the main focus in the analysis of customer loyalty. Using a quantitative approach, with data collection techniques in the form of questionnaires, interviews, and literature studies, the respondents in this study were KAI Access users from the Edan Sepur train loving community. The results showed that the action variable had a positive and significant influence on customer loyalty, while the responsiveness variable did not have a significant influence directly. An important conclusion from this study is that in the context of digital applications such as KAI Access, customers prioritize concrete problem solving rather than just quick response. Therefore, PT KAI needs to strengthen concrete actions in handling complaints to increase long-term loyalty. Therefore, PT KAI needs to strengthen concrete actions in handling complaints to increase long-term loyalty, especially in the era of digitalization of public services that continues to grow rapidly.

This study aims to analyze the role of the Terminal Inspection Service (TIS) Unit in supervising landside facilities at Minangkabau International Airport. Landside facilities include passenger terminals, drop-off areas, parking lots, and other public spaces that serve as key interaction points between airport services and users. Effective supervision of these areas is essential to ensure safety, comfort, and order within the airport environment. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed in this research, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with TIS personnel and related stakeholders, as well as documentation analysis of existing regulations and supervision procedures.The findings reveal that the TIS Unit plays a strategic role in maintaining service quality and the security of landside facilities. This role is carried out through regular monitoring activities, early detection of potential disruptions, and the handling of various violations in public areas. However, the implementation of TIS duties still faces several challenges. These include limited personnel, which restricts comprehensive supervision of all areas; slow response from relevant units when operational issues are reported; and low discipline and compliance among service users, which further complicates enforcement efforts.To enhance the effectiveness of supervision, this study proposes several recommendations. These include strengthening inter-unit coordination within the airport, providing ongoing training for TIS personnel to improve competency and responsiveness, and implementing an integrated digital reporting system to streamline reporting and follow-up processes. Such measures are expected to support more optimal and sustainable supervision of landside facilities at the airport.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of compensation for flight delays at Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan International Airport, Balikpapan. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collection techniques through direct observation, in-depth interviews with airline staff, and documentation during On the Job Training (OJT) activities. The main focus of the study is to evaluate the extent to which passenger rights have been fulfilled by airlines in accordance with applicable regulations, specifically the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia Number PM 89 of 2015 concerning Handling Flight Delays. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of compensation by several airlines is still not optimal. There are discrepancies between regulatory provisions and implementation in the field, such as late delivery of information, disproportionate compensation, and uneven service among airlines. Passengers often do not receive clarity regarding their rights, and complaint mechanisms are still limited. Factors causing delays include technical problems, bad weather, inefficient operational management, and limited number and capacity of human resources on duty. This study emphasizes the need to improve the internal and external communication systems of airlines so that information related to delays and compensation can be conveyed transparently and in a timely manner. In addition, airlines need to conduct regular evaluations of standard operating procedures (SOPs), strengthen customer service training for staff, and foster synergy between work units to improve responsiveness to unforeseen situations. Regulators and airport authorities need stricter oversight and the implementation of strict administrative sanctions for violations of passenger rights. These findings provide important contributions to the formulation of public policy in the air transportation sector and provide input for improving services that are more humane, accountable, and oriented toward customer satisfaction.

Gunung Kijang Subdistrict in Bintan Regency is one of the areas still facing various socio-economic challenges, particularly related to poverty issues. The problems faced include low income, limited access to education and healthcare, lack of employment opportunities, and low quality of life. Therefore, the Family Hope Program (PKH) is present as a social policy intervention from the government to help reduce the impact of poverty both directly and in the long term in Gunung Kijang by fulfilling basic needs, increasing participation in education, raising awareness of the importance of health, and empowerment through social assistance. This study aims to determine the extent of PKH’s effectiveness in reducing poverty rates in Gunung Kijang Subdistrict, Bintan Regency. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include interviews, direct field observations, and documentation. In its analysis, this study refers to William N. Dunn’s public policy evaluation theory, which includes six main indicators: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results show that PKH has a positive impact on beneficiary families (KPM). The program increases school attendance of children from poor families in primary and secondary schools, as attendance is an important component in the disbursement of aid. In addition, PKH encourages poor communities to be more active in accessing health services, such as community health centers (puskesmas) and integrated health service posts (posyandu), especially for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, toddlers, and the elderly. The Family Hope Program (PKH) contributes to reducing the impact of poverty in Gunung Kijang Subdistrict. Although it has not fully resolved the root problems, PKH has the potential to be a tool to break the cycle of poverty and improve the quality of life of poor communities sustainably.  

This study aims to explain and analyze the quality of public services at the Leihitu Barat District Office. Quality public service is a key indicator in assessing the performance of local governments, particularly at the sub-district level, which directly provides services to the community. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the current service conditions. The informants in this study totaled 10 people, consisting of district officials and community members who use the services. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations of service activities at the sub-district office, and documentation of relevant supporting documents. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis with a case study approach, providing a comprehensive picture of existing problems and potentials. The assessment of service quality is based on Zeithaml’s theory, which includes five main dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The research findings indicate that the quality of public services at the Leihitu Barat District Office has not yet met optimal standards. In terms of tangibles, it was found that physical facilities such as waiting areas, service desks, and supporting equipment are still very limited. The reliability dimension is also not well fulfilled, as the service processes are often inconsistent and not timely. The assurance dimension reflects a lack of professional ability and attitudes among officials in providing a sense of security and trust to the public. However, the dimensions of responsiveness and empathy show relatively positive developments. Some officials have demonstrated responsive and empathetic attitudes in addressing the needs and complaints of the public. Nonetheless, comprehensive improvements are still necessary. These include enhancing the quality of human resources, increasing the availability of physical infrastructure, and improving service management systems. By addressing these areas, public services at the Leihitu Barat District Office can become more effective and better aligned with community expectations.

Reliable internet connectivity is a crucial element in supporting work effectiveness at the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) in Central Lombok. However, users of the internal WiFi network have reported various issues, including inconsistent speed and weak signal stability. This study aims to analyze user satisfaction with the WiFi network services using the Servqual method, which assesses service quality based on five dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. A quantitative approach was employed by distributing questionnaires to employees and staff who utilize the network. Data analysis was conducted by measuring the gap between users’ expectations and their perceptions of the service quality. The results show that most dimensions experienced a negative gap, particularly responsiveness (-0.47) and tangibles (-0.40), indicating inadequate response speed and suboptimal infrastructure conditions. Conversely, assurance (+0.40) and empathy (+0.27) showed positive gaps, reflecting users’ trust in the competence of IT staff and their perceived attentiveness. These findings highlight the need for technical evaluations, infrastructure improvements, and capacity building of human resources through regular training. This research contributes to the understanding of information technology service quality in the public sector and provides a foundation for strategic decision-making to enhance digital services. Moreover, the study encourages further research using mixed methods to gain a more comprehensive understanding of user satisfaction with WiFi services in government institutions.

The study finds that national platforms such as SP4N-LAPOR!, OSS-RBA, and SIPD have contributed to reducing bureaucratic barriers and enhancing public service quality. However, challenges such as digital literacy gaps and infrastructure inequality persist, requiring continuous improvement strategies. The conclusion emphasizes that adaptive policies and human resource capacity development are key to maximizing the benefits of technology in public administration.

Responsive public service plays a crucial role in building public trust in police institutions, particularly in handling citizen complaints. This study aims to examine the responsiveness level of Mojokerto Police Resort in managing public complaints and the factors influencing it. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing data collection methods such as in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document studies. Participants include officers from the Integrated Police Service Center (SPKT), Women and Children Service Unit (PPA), community members who have filed complaints, as well as community leaders and NGOs involved in overseeing public services. Data analysis was conducted using Miles and Huberman’s model, which includes data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal a varied level of awareness among the community regarding complaint channels, as well as differences in ease of access. Physical channels such as suggestion boxes and direct reporting at police stations are more familiar and accessible but face challenges related to communication effectiveness and evidence collection. Meanwhile, online platforms like social media and the official website are less recognized by the public, compounded by limited digital literacy and internet access in certain areas. Furthermore, the complaint handling process needs to be straightforward, transparent, and professional to ensure that the community feels respected and confident in the service. Factors affecting responsiveness include response speed, ease of access across multiple channels, and the professionalism of officers handling cases. Perceptions of transparency and openness in procedures also significantly influence community trust. Strategically, Mojokerto Police Resort has made efforts to develop digital complaint systems and enhance staff capabilities. However, further improvements are necessary in community education and awareness programs to increase familiarity and confidence in digital channels. The significance of high responsiveness is reflected in its strategic benefits, such as early identification of security disturbances, strengthening police legitimacy, and improving overall public service quality. Effective responsiveness fosters better relationships between officers and the community, enhances trust, and contributes to a safer and more orderly environment. Therefore, adopting modern, innovative, and technology-based complaint systems should be prioritized to reform police services. Overall, the responsiveness of Mojokerto Police Resort’s complaint handling system serves as a key indicator for the success of quality and equitable public services. By improving officer professionalism, infrastructure, and community outreach, it is expected that Mojokerto Police can enhance responsiveness, reinforce community trust, and deliver excellent, transparent, and accountable services. Such efforts not only improve the police institution’s reputation but also strengthen democratic foundations and social justice in the Mojokerto region.    

The adoption of Hospital Information Systems (HIS) is a crucial step toward improving healthcare service delivery, especially in public hospitals in developing countries. RSUD Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe, a referral hospital in Gorontalo, Indonesia, has implemented the SIMRS Khanza system to digitize inpatient registration and medical documentation. However, limited evaluation has been conducted to assess its effectiveness beyond technical performance. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of SIMRS Khanza using the Human-Organization-Technology Fit (HOT-Fit) framework, which examines the alignment between users, institutional support, and system quality. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving in-depth interviews, non-participatory observations, and document reviews with eight informants, including medical record officers, system coordinators, and hospital management. The findings reveal that although most users reported improved efficiency and satisfaction, several issues persist: incomplete training, limited adherence to SOPs, and system performance lags during peak hours. Organizational support was present but inconsistent, and documentation policies lacked specificity for digital contexts. Technologically, the system demonstrated stable output, but responsiveness and integration require enhancement. The synthesis of findings suggests that success in HIS implementation is contingent upon not only system reliability but also continuous user engagement, structured training, and dynamic policy support. Therefore, a holistic strategy integrating human, organizational, and technological components is essential to optimize SIMRS performance and sustainability.

Registration counter services as the main gateway for patient interaction with hospitals play a crucial role in shaping public perception of the quality of health services. However, Kaimana Hospital faces challenges such as long queues, limited physical facilities, and reliance on coordination between units, which have the potential to reduce patient satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the gap between patients' expectations and perceptions of the quality of registration counter services using the SERVQUAL model, focusing on five dimensions: Reliability, Assurance, Tangibles, Empathy, and Responsiveness (responsiveness). The qualitative-descriptive method is applied through direct observation during the workday, semi-structured interviews and analysis of secondary documents. The results of the study showed that officers were considered competent in providing Assurance information  and showed spontaneous empathy for the Empathy vulnerable group. However, the Reliability  dimension is hampered by long queues and reliance on the availability of medical personnel, while Tangibles is limited to physical facilities that are less adaptive during visitor density. Responsiveness is also influenced by fluctuations in the number of patients and coordination between units that are not optimal. The main gap lies in the absence of a digital queuing system, structured inclusive protocols, and standardization of officer competencies. Strategic recommendations include certification-based HR training, integration of digital queue technology, infrastructure optimization, and strengthening operational coordination. This research emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to create an inclusive, efficient, and sustainable service ecosystem, as well as a reference for regional hospitals in improving the quality of services based on the SERVQUAL model.  

The quality of public service is one of the indicators of the success of local governments in the context of regional autonomy. This research examines the implementation of the Integrated Administrative Services Program (PATEN) in Kalidawir District, Tulungagung Regency, as a strategy to bring administrative services closer to the community. This study aims to determine the quality of PATEN services and identify the inhibiting factors in optimizing the conduct of public services. The method used is descriptive qualitative method.
