And Performance

This chapter describes how public managers contribute to public service performance. First, the chapter investigates three critical contextual factors for how public leadership can make a difference to organizational performance: managerial autonomy, capacity, and ability. Second, three leadership strategies are introduced which have been positively related to organizational performance in the public sector: goal-oriented, relational, and non-leader-centered leadership. Third, a new concept with particular relevance for public management is presented—reputation management—and this points to the relevance of considering the nexus between reputation and performance. It is argued that an organization’s reputation and performance may be more or less aligned. However, more importantly, an organization’s reputation per se also provides an important but less studied contextual factor of relevance for public managers’ ability to improve organizational performance. Finally, the chapter discusses how to develop leadership skills that increase public managers’ ability to contribute to public service performance.

THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES THE PATTERN OF SIMILARITIES AND differences in Britain and France with regard to public service charterism: that strand of recent public service reform designed to reconstruct relations between the state and the citizen on the basis of new or revitalized principles of public service, epitomized by the Citizen's Charter (1991) in Britain and the Charte des Services Publics (1992) in France. Despite the appearance of increasing convergence in the rhetoric of public management reform in the two countries during the 1990s, especially during the incumbency of centre-left governments in the latter part of the decade, there is evidence of continuing divergence in the philosophy and practice of public service charterism. This article argues that variation is a function of the existence of country-specific public service regimes, embodying different ideals of citizenship, which have shaped the emergence and implementation of charter policy in Britain and France.

Artikel ini bertujuan pada eksaminasi kesesuaian agenda kebijakan sertifikasi pelayanan publik dengan mempertimbangkan kinerja pemerintahan daerah saat ini. Studi dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data secara intensif yang menimbang spesifikasi konteks lokal menurut kebijakan desentralisasi yang menjadi arus utama reformasi struktural tata kelola pemerintahan di Indonesia. Meski standar pelayanan publik diberlakukan berdasarkan peraturan-peraturan turunan Undang-Undang Pelayanan Publik No. 25 Tahun 2009, upaya lebih lanjut oleh pemerintahan daerah tak pelak diperlukan. Studi ini dijalankan secara kualitatif di Surabaya, memperhitungkan posisinya pada papan atas pemerintahan daerah yang reformis dan inovatif. Studi ini terdiri atas analisis dokumen kebijakan dan wawancara mendalam untuk pengumpulan datanya. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa implementasi sertifikasi pelayanan publik sekiranya bisa mengarah pada penyesuaian struktural. Terlepas dari kategorisasi layanan pemerintah menurut karakternya masing-masing, berbagai penyesuaian struktural diperlukan menurut konteks masing-masing daerah. Pelibatan berbagai komunitas lokal perlu pengembangan lebih lanjut sebagai cara standar memastikan bahwa sertifikasi tidak hanya relevan tapi juga menjadi bagian integral dari strategi peningkatan pembangunan daerah. The article aims at examining the suitability of the policy agenda of public service certification for the prevalence of local governments' performance. I conduct qualitative approach with intensive data collection, considering of local context specificities upon which decentralization has been mainstreaming in the state structural reform in Indonesia. Although the public service standard takes into effects based on certain regulations derived from the Public Service Act 25/2009, efforts made by local government is deemed necessary. To make the study manageable, I conduct a case study qualitatively in Surabaya considering its prominence in local bureaucracy reform and innovation. I conduct a series of policy document analysis and in-depth interviews for data enquiry. I suggest that the implementation of public service certification is likely to lead to various adjustments towards strengthening the standards to be applied. Apart from categorizing the government services according to the different characteristics of each type of service, various structural adjustments are necessary according to the local context of each region. The local community involvement mechanism still needs improvements as standard enforcement in all regions so that public service certification is not only relevant but also an integral part of the local development improvement strategy.

Political transformation has led to public management reform in Indonesia. Theoretically, the aim of public management reform is to make a systematic adjustment for public sector organizations to be more adaptive and responsive to the dynamics of the current political situation, especially the needs and demands of citizens and market participants. To strengthen the implementation of public management reforms we need to explore more varied ideas through academic discussions. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the adaptation of the seven basic values of New Public Service (NPS) in the practice of public management reform. This paper uses an exploratory method intended to obtain a valid understanding of the NPS and its translation into the practice of Indonesian public management reform. The results of this paper show that to carry out public management reforms we need three high-performance functioning components: citizen empowerment, the professionalization of bureaucracy and strategic leadership.   Transformasi politik telah mendorong terjadinya reformasi manajemen publik di Indonesia. Secara teoritik, tujuan reformasi manajemen publik adalah untuk membuat penyesuaian sistematis bagi organisasi sektor publik agar lebih adaptif dan responsif terhadap dinamika situasi politik saat ini, terutama kebutuhan dan tuntutan warganegara dan pelaku pasar. Untuk memperkuat pelaksanaan reformasi manajemen publik kita perlu untuk menggali ide yang lebih variatif melalui diskusi akademis. Oleh karena itu, paper ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tentang adaptasi tujuh nilai dasar New Public Service (NPS) dalam praktik reformasi manajemen public. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode eksplorasi yang dimaksudkan untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang valid tentang NPS serta penerjermahannya ke dalam praktik reformasi manajemen publik Indonesia. Hasil dari makalah ini menunjukkan bahwa untuk melakukan reformasi manajemen publik kita memerlukan tiga komponen yang berfungsi dengan kinerja tinggi yaitu: pemberdayaan warga negara, profesionalisasi birokrasi dan kepemimpinan strategis.
