This study aims to determine the effect of work motivation on the performance of public service employees in the Performance Subdistrict, Pandeglang Regency. The sample in this study was all the village employees of Harapankarya and Karya Utama in the Performance Subdistrict, Pandeglang Regency. The sampling technique used in this study was based on the census sampling method, where all members of the population were sampled. The research approach used is descriptive-quantitative. Data collection techniques using a survey method in the form of a questionnaire The data analysis technique used is simple linear regression analysis and hypothesis testing using the SPSS for Windows Release 22 program. Based on the calculation results, if tcount > ttable is 4.133 > 2.073 and Fcount > Ftable is 17.085 > 4.320 with a significant level of 0.00 ˂ 0.05, then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning that variable X (work motivation) has a positive effect on variable Y (employee performance). It can be concluded that work motivation partially has a significant effect on the performance of public service employees in the Performance Subdistrict, Pandeglang Regency. This shows that employee performance is determined by the level of work motivation possessed; the higher the work motivation, the higher the employee's performance.

Excellent service is one of the crucial issues in the implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia. So far, public services still have a bad image in the eyes of the public. Service is considered so bureaucratic that it creates negative impressions and perceptions about bureaucracy. The notion that bureaucracy is irrational, wasteful, unproductive and trapped in ceremonial activities is actually more common in society. Based on the problems described above, this study aims to determine the effect of the implementation of the disturbance permit policy and control on the excellent service of the City of Bandung. The research method used is explanatory survey method. The variables of this study consist of the independent variables namely Policy Implementation and Control, while the dependent variable is Excellent Service. The data was obtained through employee and community respondents who took care of disturbance permits at the Bandung City Integrated Licensing Service Agency. Respondents were determined as many as 87 through the Likert Scale questionnaire questionnaire instrument. The results of data collection will be tested for validity and reliability using moment product correlation techniques and Alpha-Cronbach. The results of the study stated that there was a significant influence between variables. The results of the data prove that policy implementation and control of excellent service at the Bandung City Integrated Licensing Service Agency have a significant influence.
优质服务是印尼实施区域自治的关键问题之一。到目前为止,公共服务在公众眼中仍然有一个不好的形象。服务被认为是如此的官僚主义,以至于它产生了对官僚主义的负面印象和看法。官僚主义是非理性的、浪费的、没有生产力的、被束缚在仪式活动中的观念实际上在社会中更为普遍。基于上述问题,本研究旨在确定干扰许可政策和控制的实施对万隆市优质服务的影响。研究方法为解释性调查法。本研究的变量包括自变量Policy Implementation and Control,因变量Excellent Service。数据是通过在万隆市综合许可服务机构办理干扰许可的员工和社区受访者获得的。通过李克特量表问卷调查工具确定了多达87名受访者。数据收集的结果将使用矩积相关技术和Alpha-Cronbach进行有效性和可靠性测试。研究结果表明,变量之间存在显著的影响。数据结果证明,政策实施与控制对万隆市综合许可服务机构的优质服务有显著影响。

In the current era of industrialization, the hospital is a form of organization engaged in health services. One of the efforts made is to support referrals from basic level services, such as puskesmas. For this reason, the puskesmas is a referral center for basic level health services. Changes that occur in today's society greatly affect this competition, both changes in demography, socio-economics, science and technology, market competition and human resources. One of the factors for decreasing employee performance is thought to be organizational culture. Problems related to organizational culture at Muhammadiyah Bandung Hospital are the habit of lateness of employees, the habit of lateness of employees coming to work after rest hours, the habit of employees waiting for orders from superiors in carrying out tasks and the habits of employees not being on time in carrying out tasks. Therefore this study aims to determine the influence of organizational culture on employee performance. The method used in this study is in accordance with the expected objectives, namely descriptive and verification methods. Organizational culture (X) as the independent variable and employee performance as the dependent variable (Y). The population in this study were all employees at the Muhammadiyah Bandung Hospital. The sample specified in this study amounted to 50 respondents. The data collection used is through literature study, field study (interviews, questionnaires, and observations) with descriptive analysis and quantitative analysis. Data processing was carried out by validation and reliability tests using SPSS. The results of the study state that there is a fairly strong relationship between organizational culture and employee performance, and there is a positive influence between organizational culture on employee performance at Bandung Hospital.

ABSTRACT This article identifies and analyses sources of administrative burden in the context of developing countries. We explore the case of Bangladesh’s online birth registration system, which has been causing inconveniences for its citizens. By employing qualitative research techniques such as netnography, interviews, and newspaper text analysis, this study analyses and identifies sources causing administrative burden in Bangladesh, and categorises them into two broad groups: state-generated (e.g., strict screening policy, partial digitalisation, redundant documentation, mistakes and correction hassles, and corruption) and citizen-generated problems (e.g., delay in submitting a certificate and broker dependency). When these two sources are acute, they can impose “deprivation costs” on citizens.

Hofstede (2007) argues that the Asia context is special enough to merit more Asia management research. Indeed, public management lessons from the Asia Pacific region may open new windows that allow scholars to improve public management theory and practice. One example is the response of Asia Pacific countries to the COVID-19 pandemic. States in Asia Pacific region took measures that greatly differ from those in North America and West Europe, but their performance in combating the pandemic was no less effective than Western countries. Scholars argue that high performance in many Asian states can be attributed to people’s high trust in government, which is embedded in Confucian culture’s submission to authority (Chen & Hsieh, 2017). However, research that systematically examines Asia Pacific public management remains lacking. As Hofstede (2007) claims, Asian scholars should have more confidence in developing their own research agenda. In our view, the agenda for scholars in the Asia Pacific region should address the following themes. First, it should propose concepts or phenomena tailored for the Asia Pacific context. Many cultural or institutional concepts that cannot be found in the Western context, but meanwhile affect administrative behaviour and public management practices in Asia Pacific region, need to be treated seriously. For example, 2015) propose the concept of “guanxi”, a behavioural pattern grounded in the Confucian culture, and test whether promotion in the Chinese public sector is guanxi-based or merit-based. Second, it should compare public management across the borders, either between the East and the West or among Asian states. Comparative public administration has long been an important branch in public administration research. For example, Chen et al. (2019) find that people’s interest in and attraction to a public service career differs greatly among New Zealand, the United States, and Taiwan, with New Zealand being the lowest and Taiwan being the highest. Reasons for this variation in the attractiveness of public careers has been attributed to radical administrative reform in New Zealand and the high prestige of public servants in Taiwan. Additional research is needed to fully understand the differences across these countries. Finally, it should examine the applicability of propositions developed in the West. For example, in Western countries, most scholars agree that those who are high in public service motivation (PSM) tend to prefer a public-sector than a private-sector career. Some scholars in Asia Pacific countries, however, have failed to reach the same conclusion (Lee & Choi, 2016). In addition, facing competitive public service exams, high-PSM individuals in the East Asian countries are more likely to be “winnowed out” from public service (Chen et al., 2020). We
Hofstede(2007)认为,亚洲的背景足够特殊,值得更多的亚洲管理研究。事实上,来自亚太地区的公共管理经验可以为学者们改进公共管理理论和实践打开新的窗口。亚太国家应对新冠肺炎疫情就是一个例子。亚太区域各国采取的措施与北美和西欧的措施大不相同,但它们在防治这一流行病方面的表现并不逊于西方国家。学者们认为,许多亚洲国家的高绩效可归因于人们对政府的高度信任,这植根于儒家文化对权威的服从(Chen & Hsieh, 2017)。然而,系统考察亚太地区公共管理的研究仍然缺乏。正如Hofstede(2007)所言,亚洲学者应该更有信心制定自己的研究议程。我们认为,亚太地区学者的议程应涉及以下主题:第一,提出适合亚太地区的概念或现象。许多在西方环境中找不到,但同时又影响亚太地区行政行为和公共管理实践的文化或体制概念需要认真对待。例如,2015年)提出了“关系”的概念,这是一种基于儒家文化的行为模式,并测试了中国公共部门的晋升是基于关系还是基于绩效。其次,它应该比较跨国界的公共管理,无论是在东方和西方之间还是在亚洲国家之间。比较公共行政一直是公共行政研究的一个重要分支。例如,Chen et al.(2019)发现新西兰、美国和台湾对公共服务职业的兴趣和吸引力差异很大,其中新西兰最低,台湾最高。公共事业吸引力差异的原因被归因于新西兰激进的行政改革和台湾公务员的高声望。需要进一步的研究来充分了解这些国家之间的差异。最后,它应该考察西方发展的命题的适用性。例如,在西方国家,大多数学者都认为公共服务动机高的人倾向于在公共部门而不是私营部门工作。然而,亚太国家的一些学者未能得出同样的结论(Lee & Choi, 2016)。此外,面对竞争激烈的公共服务考试,东亚国家的高psm个体更有可能被公共服务“淘汰”(Chen et al., 2020)。我们

ABSTRACT Scholarship examining public service motivation (PSM) in multi-incentive settings is still insufficient. Though previous studies have extensively tested the nomological networks of PSM, they paid less attention to differences between individual preferences. Drawing on latent class analysis (LCA), this study addresses this gap by focusing on these differences in a multi-incentive setting instead of merely investigating relationships between variables. The analysis established a four-class model that classified 1286 Chinese respondents into four groups based on their PSM level and responses to three types of rewards (i.e., intrinsic, intangible extrinsic, and tangible extrinsic rewards). Results demonstrated that: among the respondents, (1) 32.49% with low PSM preferred tangible extrinsic rewards; (2) 19.3% with moderate PSM showed a preference for intangible extrinsic rewards; (3) 35.94% with high PSM reported a desire for tangible extrinsic rewards; and (4) 12.26% with high PSM showed a preference for all three types of rewards. Findings support the argument that PSM may be compatible with tangible and intangible extrinsic rewards.

This editorial makes the case that religion is a significant influence on public administration (PA) and religious factors should usefully be considered in researching PA, for purposes of both advancing knowledge and drawing practical implications. The starting point for our argument is the assumption that context does matter for PA, and religion is a neglected part of the context. Religion – broadly defined as a set of coherent answers to the core existential questions that confront any human group and pertain to the relationship of the human to the divine and their codification in creedal forms, and involving a ritual dimension and piety – is interwoven with societal, cultural, political and administrative elements, which constitutes the context that affects PA in a given jurisdiction. Including religious factors in PA studies would therefore contribute to the advancement of the field. The influence of religion has so far been overlooked in PA research. It is worth examining why religion has been overlooked in PA, at least the English-language literature, for a better understanding of the contribution that can derive from encompassing religious factors into theory and empirical research about PA. One reason lies in narrow interpretations of secularisation, which has at times been seen – in the West – as an irreversible trend in history. This consideration may have driven away the attention of PA scholars to religious factors. We would counter that these narrow interpretations do not consider that, first, processes of secularisation have occurred in a differential way around the world. Societies in the Asia Pacific region, for instance, may have secularised less than the West. In addition, secularisation may flow and ebb over time rather than linearly growing. Second – and more crucial, is that secularity is compatible with religion and religiously informed consciences still playing a role as social forces. Another reason for overlooking religion is that religious factors may fit problematically into certain epistemological approaches, like forms of neo-positivism, which have been ascendant in recent decades. We counter that this need not be the case, and that there is room in the field of PA – which is interdisciplinary and characterised by epistemological and methodological pluralism – for researching the influence of religion on key aspects of PA through a multitude of approaches and methods. Thus, the influence of religion on PA could and should be investigated more systematically, thereby adding to our capacity of generating knowledge to address PA-problems. In a recent contribution to this purpose (Ongaro & Tantardini, 2023 to our knowledge, the only book-length scholarly work devoted to this topic, although a number of journal articles and book chapters have been published that address different specific theoretical and empirical aspects of the relationship between religion and PA), we work out a theoretical framing of the relationship be
这篇社论认为,宗教对公共行政(PA)有重要影响,在研究PA时应有效地考虑宗教因素,以促进知识和得出实际意义。我们的论点的出发点是假设环境对PA很重要,而宗教是环境中被忽视的一部分。宗教——广义上被定义为对任何人类群体所面临的核心存在问题的一套连贯的答案,这些问题与人与神的关系以及它们在信条形式中的编纂有关,涉及仪式维度和虔诚——与社会、文化、政治和行政因素交织在一起,这些因素构成了影响特定管辖范围内PA的背景。因此,在PA研究中纳入宗教因素将有助于该领域的发展。宗教的影响在PA研究中一直被忽视。为了更好地理解将宗教因素纳入到关于PA的理论和实证研究中所能产生的贡献,有必要研究一下为什么宗教在PA中被忽视了,至少在英语文学中是如此。原因之一在于对世俗化的狭隘解读,在西方,世俗化有时被视为历史上不可逆转的趋势。这种考虑可能已经把PA学者的注意力转移到宗教因素上。我们会反驳说,这些狭隘的解释没有考虑到,首先,世俗化进程在世界各地以不同的方式发生。例如,亚太地区的社会世俗化程度可能不如西方。此外,世俗化可能会随着时间的推移而起伏,而不是线性增长。第二,也是更关键的一点,世俗主义与宗教是相容的,而宗教信仰的良知仍在发挥着社会力量的作用。忽视宗教的另一个原因是,宗教因素可能与某些认识论方法(如近几十年来兴起的新实证主义形式)相矛盾。我们反驳说,情况并非如此,在个人关系领域——这是跨学科的,以认识论和方法论多元化为特征——有空间通过多种途径和方法研究宗教对个人关系关键方面的影响。因此,宗教对个人情感的影响可以而且应该进行更系统的调查,从而增加我们产生知识来解决个人情感问题的能力。在最近对这一目的的贡献中(据我们所知,Ongaro & Tantardini, 2023年,这是唯一一本书长度的学术著作,致力于这一主题,尽管已经发表了许多期刊文章和书籍章节,讨论了宗教与PA之间关系的不同具体理论和实证方面),我们制定了宗教与PA之间关系的理论框架,并组织了可用的ASIA PACIFIC journal of PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION 2023, VOL. 45, NO。1,1 - 6 https://doi.org/10.1080/23276665.2022.2155858

There has been an “institutional turn” in the study of authoritarian regimes (Pepinsky, 2014). That interest in institutions has not extended to public bureaucracies to the extent that seems necessary if we are to understand how these political systems govern. Bureaucracies tend to be the most standardised institutions within political systems. One can travel to all parts of the world and find pyramidal structures within departments, a formal personnel system based (at least in theory) on merit, probably some more or less autonomous agencies, and other standard features. That similarity is often only superficial, and there are fundamental differences among bureaucracies, even with the apparent similarities. Comparing public bureaucracies, therefore, involves getting beneath apparent similarities, and understanding how and why systems differ. One of the crucial factors producing differences among administrative systems is whether they function within a democratic or an authoritarian regime. The diffusion of ideas about public management, and pressures from donor organisations have in many cases produced what Fred Riggs (1964) called “doublespeak” in administration.The public image and pronouncements of the bureaucracy are one thing, and sound like those from a modernised, democratic regime. The reality within the system, and especially the reality of relationships between the state and its citizens may, however, be something else entirely. Simply saying that the bureaucracy is functioning within an authoritarian regime is in itself inadequate to explain differences among administrative systems. For example, there may be marked differences between authoritarian regimes controlled by political parties and those that are more personal (van Soest & Grauvogel, 2017), and both of those will differ from those controlled by the military. In addition, some authoritarian regimes are also developmental, and use the power of the state to direct resources towards economic development (Chibber, 2002), while others may be more oriented merely towards controlling their societies. Also, the ideologies motivating authoritarian regimes may differ, with some being socialist or communist, while others being extremely conservative (including theocracies), and some having little ideology at all except for the maintenance of power. Finally, some authoritarian regimes depend more on validation through elections than do others. These electoral authoritarian regimes (see Schedler, 2013), or competitive authoritarian regimes (Levitsky & Way, 2010), justify themselves through having a mandate from the people, rather than strictly by power or ideology. The hybrid nature
