Public service performance serves as a crucial measure of how effectively government agencies provide services to the public. Rising expectations from the public compel governments to ensure that services are delivered in an efficient, open, responsible, and responsive manner. Within the realm of public administration reform, the standard of public services has emerged as a key issue for governments looking to enhance public confidence and governance. The Indonesian government has created the Public Service Index (Indeks Pelayanan Publik/IPP) as a tool to assess the performance of public services. The IPP functions as an all-encompassing measurement system to evaluate the quality, efficiency, and responsibility associated with public service provision across government entities. This research intends to explore the definition of public service performance, the legal framework that regulates public services in Indonesia, and the metrics employed for calculating the Public Service Index. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method and a literature review approach, evaluating various pertinent books, regulations, and scholarly articles concentrating on public service management and performance evaluation. The results indicate that the Public Service Index plays a vital role in assessing service quality, institutional effectiveness, and the degree of public satisfaction. Additionally, the application of the IPP measurements fosters transparency, bolsters accountability, and encourages ongoing enhancements in public service delivery. Therefore, enhancing public service performance necessitates robust regulatory backing, institutional dedication, and the utilization of clear and quantifiable performance metrics to guarantee enduring improvements in service quality.

Public service is a key indicator in evaluating local government performance; however, various service issues continue to generate increasing public complaints. This study aims to analyze trends in public complaints, identify the most frequently reported institutions, and examine the types of maladministration and the status of complaint resolution through the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia in South Sulawesi Province during 2023–2025. This study offers novelty by providing an integrated analysis of complaint trends, distribution of reported institutions, types of maladministration, and resolution outcomes based on Ombudsman data at the regional level. This research employs a qualitative approach using document analysis, with public complaint reports as the unit of analysis. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that local governments are the most frequently reported institutions (55.1%), with dominant maladministration types including procedural deviations and prolonged delays. Several complaints were proven to involve maladministration and were resolved through the Ombudsman’s supervisory mechanism. These findings highlight that public complaints serve as an important instrument in enhancing accountability and transparency in public service delivery. Therefore, local governments need to strengthen service standards, improve the capacity of public officials, and develop more effective complaint management systems.

Public service quality has emerged as a crucial metric for assessing how well the government functions and the efficiency of its administration. Recently, rising expectations from the public have led gov-ernments to offer services that are open, responsible, effective, and attuned to citizens' needs. Alongside administrative changes and the evolution of governance models focused on efficiency and citizen satisfaction, the appetite for high-quality public services has surged. Nonetheless, numerous public entities continue to struggle with providing reliable and top-notch services due to a lack of defined service norms and systems for measuring performance. The purpose of this research is to investigate ways to enhance public service quality by establishing robust service standards and quantifiable performance metrics. The study employs a qualitative descriptive methodology, drawing on a review of relevant lit-erature from the past seven years. Multiple academic sources were analyzed to uncover essential ideas, frameworks, and empirical evidence concerning public service management, the enhancement of service quality, and the assessment of performance in governmental organizations. The results show that adopting well-defined service standards, along with measurable performance metrics, can greatly en-hance service effectiveness, accountability, and overall public satisfaction. Additionally, merging prin-ciples of service excellence with quantifiable indicators promotes transparency, boosts organizational performance, and fosters ongoing improvements in service delivery. The research concludes that to enhance public service quality, a structured framework for service standards, ongoing performance assessments, and a firm organizational dedication to innovation and service enhancement are necessary.

Along with the rapid growth of digital media, various forms of digital transactions have also developed.1 This development has driven changes in the payment system in Indonesia, one of which is through the implementation of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard). Despite its increasingly widespread use, there are still few studies that systematically examine user perceptions and the effectiveness of QRIS in improving transaction efficiency and strengthening the digital financial system. The purpose of this study is to identify and comprehensively analyze the results of previous studies related to QRIS use through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Data were collected from Google Scholar and Garuda using the keywords "QRIS use", "QRIS payment system", and "QRIS transaction tool". The results show that QRIS can improve the efficiency and convenience of digital transactions, both for consumers and businesses, and facilitate the integration of financial services in a single platform. This study also aims to analyze the use of QRIS in public services. Using a descriptive qualitative research method, research data was taken from the results of searches of reliable sources including official websites, academic literature, theses, and national scientific journals relevant to the research topic. Thus, this may indicate that the success of QRIS is influenced by effective socialization, public awareness of transaction security, and equitable access to technology. The implications of this research provide a useful literature map for policy development and further studies in the field of digital finance.

This study analyzes the application of good governance principles in the context of Islamic financial service management at Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) Islam Berdaya Mandiri Kaitakan. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, collecting data through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of internal documents. The results of the study show that the five principles of good governance transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness have been adequately implemented, albeit with varying degrees of depth. Transparency is realized through routine financial reporting at the Annual Member Meeting, although access to daily information is still limited. Accountability is maintained through internal and external oversight mechanisms from the Cooperative Office, although independent external audits have not been carried out routinely. The institution's responsibility is reflected in its sharia compliance, which is supervised by the Sharia Supervisory Board, and the accuracy of its financial reporting. Independence is realized through a deliberative decision-making process, while fairness is applied in the form of non-discriminatory services and the distribution of financing based on field verification. The findings reveal that the main challenges lie in the digitization of information systems and limited resources for external audits. Overall, the implementation of good governance at BMT has created a governance foundation that is in line with sharia principles and modern public administration values, with room for improvement mainly in the optimization of information technology and institutional capacity building.

Wewewa Timur District is an administrative area in Southwest Sumba Regency that has great potential to improve the quality of public services. However, in practice, services at the sub-district level are still faced with various obstacles, such as slow administrative processes, manual data recording, and lack of coordination between service departments. This makes it difficult for government officials to cause problems and has a direct impact on public satisfaction as service recipients. As a solution, the development of a Web-Based Integrated Service Information System is the right step to address community needs and support government performance in Wewewa Timur District. Through this system, the public can access various services on a single digital platform without having to come directly to the sub-district office, and helps officials in accelerating administrative processes. This study uses a software engineering approach to design and implement a Web-Based Integrated Service Information System in Wewewa Timur District. The method used is the Waterfall method, which is a classic method in software engineering with sequential and systematic stages, from needs analysis to system maintenance. Test results using the black box method showed that the software could identify malfunctioning functions, interface errors, data structure errors, and access to external databases, while also producing expected output. Therefore, this system is considered effective in improving the quality of public services in Wewewa Timur District.

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.

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  

This research was conducted to analyze the process of providing social services for abandoned children at the Sayap Ibu Foundation. Abandoned children are seen as a group with a high level of vulnerability and therefore require special intervention in fulfilling basic rights, protection, and developing their personal capacity so they can develop optimally. The research method applies a qualitative approach that uses interview processes, observations, and documentation studies to obtain the required information. Research findings show that the services provided include aspects of protection, education, fulfillment of basic needs, and psychosocial development which are implemented in an integrated manner by professional staff and volunteers. In its implementation, this service still faces a number of obstacles, including limited human resources, infrastructure, and minimal support from the community, which has an impact on the suboptimal service. However, the Sayap Ibu Foundation still has a significant contribution in improving the welfare of abandoned children through various programs oriented towards social rehabilitation, character strengthening, and empowerment. Therefore, it can be concluded from this study that it is necessary to strengthen comprehensive and sustainable services, as well as closer collaboration between institutions, government and the community in order to increase the effectiveness of handling neglected children by utilizing the functions and roles of foundations to the maximum. Then, the implications of the results of this study can be used as consideration for policy makers and social actors in designing more effective service programs for neglected children.

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.
