This research analyzes the views of the Indonesian people regarding Covid-19 vaccination through comments on the YouTube social media platform. This study aimed to analyze arguments, discussion patterns, attitudes, and views of the Indonesian people in the YouTube video comments at the start of the Covid-19 vaccination in Indonesia. Academically, this research provides in-depth information about the views of the Indonesian people on Covid-19 vaccination, which comes from online comments. This research is helpful for information providers and governments to make evidence-based policies and campaigns for effective communication strategies for vaccination programs. This study uses mixed methods by combining corpus linguistic methods with critical discourse analysis. Using the help of Antcont software, we analyzed 22,529 comments on the five videos about Covid-19 vaccination. The results showed various public views about vaccines; we found fifteen categories of comments: actors, health, media, rejection, acceptance, state, religious, mass, Islam, other countries, law, economy, region, knowledge, and politics. The contribution of this research is to fill in the gaps in the literature about people's reactions to vaccination in the context of social media. The implication of this research is to contribute to decision makers to take evidence-based policies to communicate Covid-19 vaccination.

Research on policy convergence has developed very significantly in comparative literature. However, little is known about the dynamics of policy convergence under unitary systems, assuming that they have greater convergence than under federal systems. This research maintains that unitary systems present no less intricate dynamics of policy convergence than the federal systems. Looking at a decentralized unitary system, this research argues that the dynamics of policy divergence is primarily driven by a need to pursue responsiveness to local priorities. It assesses the case of Indonesia in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic through qualitative and quantitative exploration, combining documentary and the named entity recognition (NER) methods. The main data were sourced from the selected national newspapers sanctioned by the Indonesian Press Board. The result points to several factors affecting policy convergence, namely, responsiveness, compliance, policy inconsistency, policy clarity, leadership, horizontal learning, and electoral politics. Of these factors, the most important one is policy responsiveness; that is, whether national and subnational policies converge or diverge is affected by the need of a subnational government to respond to local priorities. This research fills the void in the current research by understanding the interplay between domestic factors and policy convergence, thereby extending the debate on the dynamic of policy convergence under a decentralized unitary system. Working with the COVID-19 pandemic adds nuances to the literature on crisis-driven policy convergence dynamics. It also points to a practical implication on the importance of crafting better institutional arrangements on national-subnational relations to better respond to pressing issues in a more convergent manner.

Managerial competency is a fascinating field to continue to develop and study until now. UNDP is still formulating the Competency Framework until 2030 (United Nations, 2018). The popularity of this field stems from the flexibility and dynamic nature of organizational practices that have been born due to global development. Managerial competencies have three components: conceptual skills, human resources skills, and technical skills. In Indonesia, city governments find it difficult to determine the right person based on managerial competence, so the wrong person is placed to occupy a strategic position. Therefore, this research wants to determine the right proportion of the three components of managerial competency and their indicators. That was the background of this study: analyzing the proportion of these skills by taking case studies in 2 regions in Indonesia, namely the Tasikmalaya Regency and Serang City. This study sought to find what managerial competency models apply in Indonesia, especially those represented by the two cities/regencies in Indonesia. This study used mixed methods: quantitative methods for distributing questionnaires to Echelon/ Class III and IV officials in the two cities and qualitative for expert group discussions to validate that would strengthen the analysis. The time needed for this research is about one year (around February 2019- August 2020). The contribution of this research shows that when an area uses an ideal competency managerial model, it is easier to achieve its vision and mission. The study results indicate that the Tasikmalaya Regency is quite good in its managerial competence selection process. It can be seen from the proportion of the three sets of dynamically dispersed managerial competencies compared to the ideal model, in contrast to Serang City, which is still far from ideal conditions. Serang City must improve its managerial competency model to make it more ideal. This is needed so that organizations can deal with changing times, which tend to be exponential to maximize performance achievements.

This research analyzes bureaucratic transformation by optimizing village officials in Gorontalo Regency. Based on the research gap results, this study aims to analyze how bureaucratic transformation optimizes the role of village officials in providing public services. The academic interest of this research is to contribute new knowledge in the bureaucratic transformation field, especially through optimizing village officials. In addition, the practical importance is also quite significant, where this research can guide local governments and related stakeholders regarding strategies and concrete actions that can be taken to improve the quality of public services, bureaucratic efficiency, and responsiveness to community needs. This research uses simple descriptive statistics and is processed using the Nvivo 12 plus application. The community and local government want renewal or transformation in the bureaucratic structure of the village apparatus. The findings in the field are that the local government conducts competency mapping of village officials by conducting Computer Assisted Test (CAT) tests. The test results showed that of the 2089 participants who took part in the selection, only 179 people were ineligible, 50 people did not take the test, while those who passed the selection amounted to 1860. The transformation of the village bureaucracy was carried out through three steps, namely increasing the capacity of village officials, simplifying administrative procedures, and strengthening the supervisory system. The simplification of administrative procedures aims to reduce excessive bureaucracy and speed up public services. Strengthening the supervisory system also plays an important role in improving accountability and transparency.

This study aims to analyze the impact of the e-Government Development Index (EGDI) on the Worldwide Governance Indicator (WGI) in European Union member countries. The EGDI is an index measurement that displays conditions related to the development of e-Government implementation in the member country of the United Nations, while the WGI is a series of governance indicators issued by the world bank that measures six dimensions of governance. The research method used in this research is a mixed method with collecting and analyzing data quantitatively by using Smart PLS 0.3 version, then collecting qualitative data analysis data by using qualitative methods collecting data from relevant scientific articles. The data sources for this research were obtained from the official website of the EGDI, the official website of the WGI, and literature studies of relevant scientific articles. The result of this study shows that the implementation of e-Government based on EGDI data in European Union countries has no impact on the six indicators of WGI as a whole. This is based on the results showing that the influence of the EGDI of European Union member countries on corruption control, government effectiveness, and voice of accountability is accepted, while the impact of the EGDI of European Union member countries on political stability and the absence of violence/terrorism, the quality of regulation and the rule of law is rejected. This research contributes to complement existing research by looking at the impact of implementing e-Government in European Union countries. This research is expected to be a reference in studying the implementation of e-Government in European Union countries so that it can be implemented effectively and efficiently.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hence, cautious intervention in these factors is pivotal to ensure higher citizen satisfaction with public service.","PeriodicalId":32198,"journal":{"name":"Policy and Governance Review","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82283351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
