Pekerja Ekonomi Gig: Pengalaman Kerja Pengemudi Ojek Online Maxim dan Grab di Wilayah Timur Indonesia

This study aims to examine the work experience of online Ojek drivers in Kupang City who use the Maxim and Grab platforms. This research is motivated by the rapid development of online ojek services in Indonesia, including in Kupang City, as well as its important role in providing new economic opportunities.

Transparansi Birokrasi dalam Pengelolaan APBD di Kota Kupang

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan Pemerintah Kota Kupang kurang transparan atas informasi Pengelolaan APBD miliknya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian studi kasus Instrumental dan prosedur pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara mendalam, dan studi dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat sekresi/kerahasiaan informasi pengelolaan Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah (APBD) Pemerintah Kota Kupang tergolong cukup tinggi, sehingga sulit diakses oleh publik (over secrecy). Alasannya, dokumen keuangan seperti dokumen Rencana Kerja dan Anggaran (RKA), Dokumen Pelaksanaan Anggaran (DPA) dan Laporan Realisasi Ang- garan (LRA) merupakan dokumen rahasia negara sehingga perlu mendapatkan persetujuan/rekomendasi dari kepala daerah atau sekretaris daerah jika akan diakses oleh publik. Hal ini disebabkan beberapa hal, di antaranya permasalahan sosialisasi, ketiadaan perangkat hukum yang mengatur mengenai infrastruktur di bidang keterbukaan informasi publik, dan ketiadaan sumber daya serta adanya persepsi yang dimiliki oleh sebagian besar birokrat Pemerintah Kota Kupang mengenai kerahasiaan dokumen pengelolaan APBD

Bibliometric Analysis of Public Sector Innovation

This article systematically reviewed the academic research surrounding public sector innovation (PSI) to deliver an overview of PSI development in public administration (PA). This study analyzed 289 articles published between 1970 and 2020 using a bibliometric meta-analysis with HistCite software and a qualitative approach. This study found four primary research streams in PSI literature: (1) nature of public sector innovation; (2) strategy and innovation capacity; (3) adoption and diffusion of innovation; and (4) implementation and impact of innovation. Our analysis also revealed that the strategy and innovation capacity cluster has the fastest growth in publications. While the nature of the PSI stream is the least published research area, leadership, and organizational culture were the highest frequent antecedent and identified impacts in the empirical PSI studies. Finally, we offer 20 future research directions for these four research streams. This study may be the first to use HistCite bibliometric and qualitative analysis to make detailed information about each research stream of PSI literature in the PA discipline by measuring the number of publications over 50 years. The results of our review are limited to PSI publications in the PA field, which stemmed from the web of science database

The Impact of Bureaucracy Delayering Policy on Government Employees: Insights from Eastern Indonesia's Vertical Institutions

This article explores the impact of top-down delayering policies on government employees in vertical institutions in Eastern Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with government employees in three vertical agencies in East Nusa Tenggara. Four main dimensions are explained: job suitability with competencies, future career patterns, innovative work behavior, and employee welfare. Findings indicate a significant mismatch betsween employee competencies and the demands of the new position, resulting in decreased efficiency, role confusion, and low morale. Concerns about unclear future career patterns were also identified, affecting employee motivation and morale. On the other hand, the transition to a more functional structure contributes to an increase in innovative work behavior, with employees feeling more empowered to make creative contributions. Apart from that, this policy also positively impacts the economic welfare of employees through increasing benefits and performance. This research underscores the importance of effective change management, adequate preparation, and communication in implementing bureaucratic delayering policies. Limitations of the study include the limited sample and focus on individual perceptions
