Methodology of thesis 'research barriers in the implementation of reverse log...Irfan iftekhar
These are the barriers in the implementation of reverse logistics due to lack of interest and knowledge of top decision makers of the organizations. Besides when an entity's organizational capabilities are strong, it can progress smoothly, but when they are weak it can find it difficult to get the job done, making errors due to underestimating the problems. An organization's capability is its ability which can win over the barriers in the implementation of RL practices. This consists of the strategy of a company, its strategic plans, its commitment, employees' hiring and skills development, a working system of performance appraisal and supporting programs.

GA-CFS APPROACH TO INCREASE THE ACCURACY OF ESTIMATES IN ELECTIONS PARTICIPATIONijfcstjournal
This paper proposes a combined GA-CFS approach to increase the accuracy of predicting participation in elections by identifying and removing noisy features. The approach uses genetic algorithm as a search method to select important features for election participation based on correlation-based feature selection, which evaluates feature subsets. When applied to a dataset on election participation factors, the combined method improved the predictive accuracy of classification algorithms compared to using the full feature set. The results demonstrate that the GA-CFS approach is effective at identifying and removing irrelevant and noisy features to enhance predictive performance.

Framework for opinion as a service on review data of customer using semantics...IJECEIAES
At opinion mining plays a significant role in representing the original and unbiased perception of the products/services. However, there are various challenges associated with performing an effective opinion mining in the present era of distributed computing system with dynamic behaviour of users. Existing approaches is more laborious towards extracting knowledge from the reviews of user which is further subjected to various rounds of operation with complex procedures. The proposed system addresses the problem by introducing a novel framework called as opinion-as-a-service which is meant for direct utilization of the extracted knowledge in most user friendly manner. The proposed system introduces a set of three sequential algorithm that performs aggregated of incoming stream of opinion data, performing indexing, followed by applying semantics for extracting knowledge. The study outcome shows that proposed system is better than existing system in mining performance.

a b s t r a c t : The purposes of this study are to construct an instrument to evaluate service quality of mobile valueadded services and have a further discussion of the relationships among service quality, perceived value,
customer satisfaction, and post-purchase intention. Structural equation modeling and multiple regression
analysis were used to analyze the data collected from college and graduate students of 15 major universities
in Taiwan. The main findings are as follows: (1) service quality positively influences both perceived value and customer satisfaction; (2) perceived value positively influences on both customer satisfaction and post-purchase intention; (3) customer satisfaction positively influences post-purchase
intention; (4) service quality has an indirect positive influence on post-purchase intention through customer
satisfaction or perceived value; (5) among the dimensions of service quality, ‘‘customer service and
system reliability” is most influential on perceived value and customer satisfaction, and the influence of
‘‘content quality” ranks second; (6) the proposed model is proven with the effectiveness in explaining the relationships among service quality, perceived value, customer satisfaction, and post-purchase intention in mobile added-value services.

The Effectiveness of E-Government Initiatives in Improving Public Service Del...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: E-government initiatives have become increasingly popular as a means of improving public
service delivery and citizen engagement. However, there is a need for a comprehensive understanding of the
effectiveness of e-government initiatives and the factors that influence their success. This literature review aims
to synthesize empirical studies published between 2010 and 2021 on the effectiveness of e-government
initiatives in improving public service delivery. The review identified 42 studies that examined various aspects
of e-government initiatives, such as access to services, service quality, citizen satisfaction, trust, participation,
and impact on governance. The review found that e-government initiatives have the potential to improve public
service delivery by enhancing access, quality, and citizen engagement. However, the success of e-government
initiatives depends on several factors, such as adequate infrastructure and resources, effective governance and
leadership, stakeholder involvement and collaboration, and user-centered design and evaluation. The review also
identified several challenges and barriers to the implementation of e-government initiatives, such as digital
divide, data privacy and security, legal and regulatory frameworks, and citizen resistance and skepticism. The
review suggests the need for more research that adopts interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches and
attends to the ethical and social implications of e-government initiatives. This review provides insights into the
current state of knowledge on e-government initiatives and their impact on public service delivery.

Efficiency of Women’s Technical Institutions By Using Bcc Model Through Dea A...IOSR Journals
This paper conducts an application of the DEA Methodology in the assessment of the performance of JNTUH Colleges the indicators included the Faculty, Students, Infrastructure and Placements of the technical Institutions. The results reveal those institutions that more efficiently carry out these activities. The proposed method has been used for selection of quality attributes in technical education setting the performance of an institute is likely to be influenced by quality of teacher, quality of students, infrastructure administration, extent of training and placement and many others. It is felt that quality and performance evaluation is necessary not only for appraisal but it is also required to improve overall service quality. Finally we discuss about the existence of differences in the strengths and weaknesses between the technical institutions.
The feature selection or extraction is the most important task in Opinion mining and Sentimental Analysis
(OSMA) for calculating the polarity score. These scores are used to determine the positive, negative, and
neutral polarity about the product, user reviews, user comments, and etc., in social media for the purpose
of decision making and Business Intelligence to individuals or organizations. In this paper, we have
performed an experimental study for different feature extraction or selection techniques available for
opinion mining task. This experimental study is carried out in four stages. First, the data collection process
has been done from readily available sources. Second, the pre-processing techniques are applied
automatically using the tools to extract the terms, POS (Parts-of-Speech). Third, different feature selection
or extraction techniques are applied over the content. Finally, the empirical study is carried out for
analyzing the sentiment polarity with different features.

INTEGRATION OF IMPORTANCEPERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND FUZZY DEMATELijcsit
This document discusses integrating importance-performance analysis (IPA) and fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) methods. It proposes a modified IPA model that uses multiple regression analysis to establish relationships between quality attributes and overall satisfaction/importance. It also employs fuzzy DEMATEL to analyze causal relationships and degrees of influence among attributes. This allows modifying attribute importance and improvement priorities based on traditional IPA. An empirical study on a Taiwanese bank illustrates applying the integrated fuzzy DEMATEL-IPA approach.

TITLE : The relationships among service quality, perceived value, customer satisfaction, and post-purchase intention in mobile value-added services
a b s t r a c t : The purposes of this study are to construct an instrument to evaluate service quality of mobile valueadded services and have a further discussion of the relationships among service quality, perceived value,
customer satisfaction, and post-purchase intention. Structural equation modeling and multiple regression
analysis were used to analyze the data collected from college and graduate students of 15 major universities
in Taiwan. The main findings are as follows: (1) service quality positively influences both perceived value and customer satisfaction; (2) perceived value positively influences on both customer satisfaction and post-purchase intention; (3) customer satisfaction positively influences post-purchase
intention; (4) service quality has an indirect positive influence on post-purchase intention through customer
satisfaction or perceived value; (5) among the dimensions of service quality, ‘‘customer service and
system reliability” is most influential on perceived value and customer satisfaction, and the influence of
‘‘content quality” ranks second; (6) the proposed model is proven with the effectiveness in explaining the relationships among service quality, perceived value, customer satisfaction, and post-purchase intention in mobile added-value services.

A model to improve service quality through integration ofAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that examined the impact of integrating e-government and total quality management (TQM) on service quality in the Jordanian public sector. The study developed a model with three variables: e-government implementation as the independent variable, TQM dimensions as the intermediate variable, and service quality as the dependent variable. A questionnaire was distributed to managers at five government institutions. The results revealed that the institutions implemented some aspects of TQM and e-government. A positive correlation was also found between TQM, e-government, and service quality. The study concluded that integrating e-government and TQM improved service quality in the Jordanian public sector.

The Effectiveness of E-Government Initiatives in Improving Public Service Del...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: E-government initiatives have become increasingly popular as a means of improving public
service delivery and citizen engagement. However, there is a need for a comprehensive understanding of the
effectiveness of e-government initiatives and the factors that influence their success. This literature review aims
to synthesize empirical studies published between 2010 and 2021 on the effectiveness of e-government
initiatives in improving public service delivery. The review identified 42 studies that examined various aspects
of e-government initiatives, such as access to services, service quality, citizen satisfaction, trust, participation,
and impact on governance. The review found that e-government initiatives have the potential to improve public
service delivery by enhancing access, quality, and citizen engagement. However, the success of e-government
initiatives depends on several factors, such as adequate infrastructure and resources, effective governance and
leadership, stakeholder involvement and collaboration, and user-centered design and evaluation. The review also
identified several challenges and barriers to the implementation of e-government initiatives, such as digital
divide, data privacy and security, legal and regulatory frameworks, and citizen resistance and skepticism. The
review suggests the need for more research that adopts interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches and
attends to the ethical and social implications of e-government initiatives. This review provides insights into the
current state of knowledge on e-government initiatives and their impact on public service delivery.

abstract - knowledge sharing in public sectorBakhari Ismail
This study aimed to develop and validate an integrated model examining how knowledge sharing among public sector employees impacts their performance and service delivery. A survey of 428 employees and interviews with 9 employees at 3 government agencies found that trust, awareness, culture, rewards, and IT tools significantly influence knowledge sharing quality. High-quality knowledge sharing was then found to positively impact employee performance and public service delivery. The developed model linking these factors was supported by empirical evidence. This helps address the need to improve Malaysian public sector service delivery by identifying ways to encourage knowledge sharing.

PUBLIC OFFICIALS' ATTITUDES
TOWARD SUBJECTIVE
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
XIAOHU WANG
GERASIMOS A. GIANAKIS
University of Central Florida
GJovernments have employed measures of agency since the 1940s (Mikesell, 1995).
Recently, there has been a renewed emphasis on institutionalizing this tool (Gore,
1993; Governmental Accounting Standards Board, 1990; Osborne & Plastrik, 1997).
Unlike any of the previous performance measurement reforms, however, this new
effort is mainly a response to external pressures from elected officials, citizens, and
service clients for management results and accountability rather than an internal man-
agement tactic for the efficient or effective use of resources (Cope, 1997; Gore, 1993;
U.S. General Accounting Office, 1997). Consequently, the focus of performance
measurement is shifted from traditional output and outcome indicators to service quality
and citizen/customer satisfaction measures. An increasing number of governments have
been using citizen surveys to assess service quality (Poister & Henry, 1994; Poister &
Streib, 1998; Streib, 1990).
Despite this shift of focus in performance measurement, critical questions in using
citizen evaluations have not been addressed in the public management literature. The
literature focuses almost exclusively on anecdotal discussions regarding the utilities of
citizen/customer evaluations (Gore, 1993; Osborne & Plastrik, 1997), technical
designs of citizen evaluation measures (Hatry et al., 1992; Miller & Miller, 1991), and
the influence of service delivery activities on citizen evaluations (Brudney & England,
1982; Stipak, 1979, 1987). Few studies explo ...
Exploring the behavioral intention to use e-government services: Validating t...Mark Anthony Camilleri
This study explores the online users’ behavioral intention to utilize the governments’ websites and their electronic services. The research methodology validates the measuring items from the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to better understand the participants’ attitudes toward their performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social norms, facilitating condition and behavioral intention to use the electronic government (e-gov) services. The findings from the structural equations modeling approach reported a satisfactory fit for this study’s research model. The results suggest that there were highly significant, direct effects from the UTAUT constructs, where the utilitarian motives predicted the online users’ behavioral intentions to use e-gov. Moreover, there were significant moderating influences from the demographic variables, including age, gender and experiences that effected the individuals’ usage of the governments’ online services. In conclusion, this contribution identifies its limitations and suggests possible research avenues to academia.

This document summarizes a research study that examined the key factors and generation mechanisms that influence the performance of open government data (OGD) programs in China. The study used a mixed methods approach, combining regression analysis and qualitative comparative analysis. The regression analysis found that organization arrangement, legal and policy factors, and horizontal pressure from other governments had direct positive effects on OGD performance. The qualitative comparative analysis identified different configuration paths or combinations of factors that could lead to better OGD performance for cities in different regions and of varying administrative ranks. The study provides insight into both the direct influences on OGD performance as well as the complex relationships and generation mechanisms involved.

Common Problems Encountered by Selected Cooperatives in Cabanatuan City: Basi...IJAEMSJORNAL
This particular article aims to analyze and describe: the complexity of realizing good governance in public services. The research method used is the qualitative method. The data analysis in the qualitative research uses an interactive model comprising three analysis components which are: 1) Data reduction, 2) Data presentation, and 3) Data verification and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that punctuality in service delivery is affected by apparatuses’ physiological (physical and mental) abilities. Physiological abilities can be measured through 1) Attitudes. The success in service delivery rests on all people engaged inservice delivery. Either directly or indirectly, the image of Samsat Gorontalo will be depicted by its service delivery. Taxpayers will judge by the first impression when communicating with the people engaged in service delivery and 2) Attention. When delivering services, staff should consistently pay attention to and understand what is expected by taxpayers. If the public hasy shown enthusiasm in paying taxes, Samsat staff should make the required action immediately to respond to the public enthusiasm.

Gas agency management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The project entitled "Gas Agency" is done to make the manual process easier by making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock. The Gas Agencies get the order request through phone calls or by personal from their customers and deliver the gas cylinders to their address based on their demand and previous delivery date. This process is made computerized and the customer's name, address and stock details are stored in a database. Based on this the billing for a customer is made simple and easier, since a customer order for gas can be accepted only after completing a certain period from the previous delivery. This can be calculated and billed easily through this. There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This can be easily maintained and charged accordingly.

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

Robin Pakudu
Pascasarjana, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, Gorontalo, Indonesia
Abstract— Public services operated by the government agencies in Gorontalo were not in accordance with
procedures. People almost were not informed about public services they could obtained. They were also
reluctant to complain about the poor services. In fact, public services by government agencies had been
regulated in Law of 2007 on The Second Amendment to Regulations Number 3 of 2005 on Duties and
Authorities of Regents and Deputy Regents as well as Regional Government Officials in Performing
Technical Tasks. The objective of this research was to find effects of bureaucratic behavior, organizational
culture, and leadership on public services in the local government of Gorontalo. This research used survey
method. Data were collected using several instruments i.e. observation, interview, documentation,
questionnaire, and literature review. Validity test was conducted using the value of Standardize Loading
Factor (SLF); while reliability test was using the value of Cronbach Alpha (CA). The research findings
showed that bureaucratic behavior, organizational culture and leadership simultaneously provided positive
effects for public services in the government agencies of Gorontalo.
Keywords— bureaucratic behavior, organizational culture, leadership, public services.
I. INTRODUCTION
Today, public services complying with procedures
are still unable to meet the public’s expectation. Public
hardly has any idea of how they access public services in
accordance with the standard procedure set out by the
government. They are also reluctant to complain about bad
services they got, just accepting the modest services
willingly. Employees in the service department should
provide equal services for all people. Public services are
run by an individual or group of people or particular
agency to provide assistances and facilities for public.
Therefore, it must be operated indiscriminately and equally
for all people to achieve particular goals. As a result,
professional services can be provided.
Service problems have been normatively set out
under the Law Number 25 of 2009 on Public Services and
Reagent Regulation Number 4 of 2007 on Second
Amendment over Reagent Regulation Number 3 of 2005
on Tasks and Authorities of Reagents and Deputy Reagents
as well as Regional Government Officials in Performing
Technical Tasks. Nevertheless, problems of the
government bureaucracy in providing services for public
are still unsolved. The problems are is related to not only
issues of power relation, but also various negative sigma
attaching to the government bureaucracy that still remains
as the most concerned problem. Based on the result of
assessment of local government compliance with the Law
Number 25 of 2009 on Public Services, in 2018, the
government of Gorontalo was only able to stay in the
yellow zone despite the zone insufficiency. Therefore, the
ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia repeatedly
provided policy options for local leaders that were still in
the yellow or red zone by giving reprimand and
encouraged all leaders in public service units regarding the
implementation of standardized public services to.
The issues had made me interested in proving to
what extent the bureaucratic behavior, organizational
culture, and leadership improved public services. The
objective of this research is to find whether or not
bureaucratic behavior, organizational culture, and
leadership simultaneously affect public services in the
government of Gorontalo.

II. RESEARCH METHOD
The research used survey research method.
Information was collected from respondents using
questionnaires. Generally, the notion of survey was limited
to the notion of sample survey where information was
collected from a half of population to represent all
population (Singarimbun and effendi, 1982:14). In term of
the type of research, it was explanatory research using a
quantitative approach. Quantitative approach was
performed in the inferential study (to test hypothesis).
However, in term of the level of explanation, it was
associative research. According to Sugiyono (2002),
associative research was research aimed to find the
correlation between two or more variables.
The research population was civil servants in ten
offices and agencies carrying out public services in the
local government of Gorontalo. Samples collected in this
research were 98 civil servants selected using proportional
random sampling. Meanwhile,the public was only used as
supporting samples (second opinion).
Data Collection Technique
In this research, survey was performed by
collecting data from samples. Instruments used in this
research were observation, interview, documentation,
questionnaires, and literature review. There were two types
of data used in this research i.e. primary and secondary
data. The primary data were respondents’ response to
questionnaires we distributed. Meanwhile, the secondary
data were documents in the local government of Gorontalo
obtained from the literature review.
Data analysis was performed by converting
response categories into score and determining the
categories Likert scale. According to Sugiyono,
(2011:147), the Likert scale was used to measure attitude,
opinion, and perception of an individual or a group of
people towards social phenomena. The response of each
questionnaire was ranged from very positive to very
negative.
Table 1. Likert Scale Category
No. Scale Criteria
5 Excellent (SB)
4 Good (B)
3 Average (CB)
2 Adverse (K)
1 Bad (TB)
Validity Test
Validity test was performed to find whether or not
questions in the questionnaire used as the data collection
instrument were valid and able to measure the construct in
this research. Validity of the variables with reflective
indicators was tested by referring to Standardize Loading
Factor (SLF). Igbaria et al. in Wijayanto (2008) suggested
that a good SLF score was ≥ 0.30. Hair (2010) suggested
SLF score ≥ 0.5 showing that convergent validity had been
achieved or SLF ≥ 0.7.
Reliability Test
Reliability test was used to test whether or not
respondents’ responses on the question were consistent or
stable from time to time. The measurement of reliability in
this research was performed using one shot method by
referring to cronbach alpha score. The questionnaire was
considered reliable when respondents’ responses to the
question were consistent or stable from time to time. In this
research, reliability test was performed in the construct
indicators that had passed validity test and validated.
According to Latan and Temalagi, (2013) a construct or
variable was considered reliable when the Cronbach Alpha
score was > 0.70.
Statistical Data Analysis Technique
Data analysis used to prove the proposed
hypothesis was Partial least square-path model (PLS-PM)
analysis. According to Yamin(Kurniawan et al., 2011),
PLS-PM was data analysis technique used to analyze the
correlation between a set of variable blocks.
III. FINDINGS
Validity and Reliability Tests for Reflective Indicators
For the reflective construct, several measurement
types were used i.e. (1) convergent validity that could be
seen from Standardized Loading Factor (SLF); (2) square
root of average variance extracted (AVE); (3) Composite
Reliability (CR); and (4) Cronbach Alpha (CA). Based on
validity and reliability tests of a construct, we found that
SLF score of all items in the indicator of public service
variable was (Y) > 0.5. Therefore, correlation between
each measurement item (indicators) and the construct was
valid. CR score of public service variable was 0.965. If CR
> 0.8, the construct had a high reliability or was reliable.
Moreover, if CR was > 0.6, it was quite reliable ((Yamin
and Golesorkhi, 2010). CA score of public service variable
was 0.96. If CA was ≥ 0.5, it was good; whereas if it was ≥
0.3, it was sufficient.

Statistical Data Analysis
1. Structural Model (Inner Model) and Direct
Relation (Direct Effect) Testing among Variables
Structural model in PLS was evaluated using path
coefficient; while the significance was tested based on
the value of t-statistic and p-values of each path.

2. F Test (Simultaneously Testing)
F test was a test conducted to regression
coefficient simultaneously. This test was conducted to find
simultaneous effects of all independent variables in the
model on dependent variables. F test in this research was
used to test significant effects of bureaucracy,
organizational culture, and leadership on public services
simultaneously.
Table 2 shows that path coefficient of
organizational culture (BO) on public services (PEL PUB),
leadership (KEP) on public services (PEL PUB) and
bureaucratic behavior (PB) on public services (PEL PUB)
were 0.087, 0.083 and 0.084 respectively. All coefficients
were positive, which meant that the direct relation among
variables was directly proportional. Bureaucratic behavior
(PB), organizational culture (BO), and leadership (KP) on
public services (PEL PU) was 61.512. All coefficients
were positive, so they simultaneously provided significant
effects for public services.
T-statistic value among variables was higher than
the value of t-table (1.97). The p-value was below 0.05, so
all variables provided significant effects for public services
in the local government of Gorontalo.
3. Statistical Analysis on Variable Descriptive
In this part, the result of distributed questionnaire
processed using SPSS 17 version was explained
descriptively. The statistical description was as follows:

Table 3 shows the data of the result of analysis on the
indicator of bureaucratic behavior variable (X1). In respect
of the work division indicator (X1.1), employee placement
according to their training or expertise was more
preferable. Employees would have an ability to provide
services optimally. For responsibility indicator (X1.2),
public expected that while providing services, employees
should willingly listen to their complaints. In term of
discipline (X1.3), they expected that employees arrived
punctually because they usually had arrived at the office
prior to the service hour. For the unity of command
indicator (X1.4), the most expected service was that
employees should perform their works according to the
instruction, or the standard operational services. For the
unity of direction indicator (X1.5), employees were
expected to work according to the authority given. Their
tasks were not supposedly overlapping, because each
employee had to work based on his/her authority.

Table 4 shows the data of the result of analysis on the
indicator of organizational culture variable (X2). In term of
involvement indicator (X2.1), employee improvement
provided a huge contribution. The improvement had to be
performed properly and continuously, so employees would
feel satisfied and comfortable with their careers. In the
consistency indicator (X2.2), the second item provided a
greater contribution, in which the score adopted referred to
the essence contained in the organization. In term of
adaptation (X2.3), people expected that employees
understood their intention and character. In the mission
indicator (X2.4), most people expected that employees
were able to build an effective team to provide services.

Table 5 shows the data of the result of analysis on
the indicator of leadership variable (X3). For interpersonal
role indicator (X3.1), face to face interaction between a
leader and subordinate while stating an action, existence,
and experience provided a greater contribution. In
information indicator (X3.2), the first item provided greater
contribution. In providing information, leader should use
straightforward words. In decision role indicator (X3.3),
the most expected improvement was that while making
decision, leader should always carefully consider the
potential effects that might appear.

Table 6 shows the data of the result of analysis on the
indicator of public service variable (Y). From transparency
indicator (Y1), the first item provided the greatest
contribution, in which service systems in each department
had already used technology. In accountability indicator
(Y2), the second item provided the greatest contribution, in
which the existing service systems were expected to
comply with the minimal service standards. In term of
conditional (Y3), both items provided equal contributions,
in which employees were expected to have ability in
providing fast services for the community. It was also
expected a compatibility between the result of provided
services and regulation set out. In participatory indicator
(Y4), most people expected that in term of service
provision, there had be compatibility between the service
requirement and the service type. In the right to equality
indicator (Y5), employees were expected to provide
services without discrimination. In the balance indicator
(Y6), employees were expected to meet their obligation in
providing services to the community properly and
according to the procedure.

leadership simultaneously provided significant effects for
public services in the local government of Gorontalo.
IV. DISCUSSION
The Effect of Bureaucratic Behavior on Public Services
The result of hypothesis testing showed that
bureaucratic behavior provided positive and significant
effects for public services in the local government of
Gorontalo (coefficient value of 2.376 and p-value of
0.018). It meant that the better bureaucratic behavior, the
better services provided by the government agencies for
public.
Data in Table 3 show the result of description of
variable with five types of indicators i.e. working division,
responsibility, discipline, unity of command, and unity of
direction.
1. Working Division
Based on the result of interview, it was necessary
for the local government of Gorontalo to pay attention to
the placement of the head of department and employees.
Scientific background was needed in addition to the
academic achievement for employee placement because
neglected scientific background could be an obstacle when
employees did not know their works. Employees could not
focus on their work. When people went to the service
center for administration and needed explanation related to
the administration procedure, they could not give any
proper explanation. This case supported theory proposed
by Fayol (2013) that working division had to be specialized
or divided into smaller elements, so the working outcome
and effectiveness of employees would improve along with
the improvement of their ability and expertise on the work
they carried out.
2. Responsibility
Table 3 shows that in term of responsibility, while
providing services, employees were not good enough
because they could not make response to public’s
complaints properly. When public needed information, a
sense of responsibility to establish communication related
to the service procedure could not be delivered properly by
the employees. Therefore, people who needed service was
not satisfied with the service. They thought that the
employees were reluctant to establish communication with
them, so their complaint could not be responded well.
3. Discipline
The analysis result showed that employees were
expected to be able to come to the office punctually. Local
government of Gorontalo was expected to emphasize
discipline enforcement to employees because it was related
to their responsibilities as civil servants who were required
to be ready to provide services to the public. The public
often complained about employees’ discipline. Services
that had to be provided in the morning and at the
predetermined time were often given late. Even there were
also other service counters that had yet provided services.
Likewise at noon, when services should have been started,
people still needed time to wait the employees in the
service counter.
4. Unity of Command
The questionnaire result showed that the
statement of “doing the work according to instructions”
had a high frequency score. Therefore, it was necessary for
the local government of Gorontalo to remind their staff
continuously. They were required to do their works based
on the standard services regulated in Law No. 25 of 2009,
not based on their own desire. The understanding of public
services should be continuously maintained and evaluated.
The local government should check whether their staffshad
already performed the work according to their work field
or only based on their desires. As a result, there would be
no complain from the people. However, in fact, the
standard had not been met.
5. Unity of Direction
The questionnaire result showed that the
statement of “doing the work according to the authority”
had a higher frequency score. It meant that each employee
had to perform the work based on the agreement, not based
on their desire. Therefore, it required evaluation and
control from the leader. The leader should issue official
instructions for employees to ensure the working
procedures was in accordance with the service standard.
Instructions from the leader to subordinate had to be in
accordance with the procedure because when there was no
instruction, there would be two instructions in one work
and the service could not be provided optimally to the
people. It was in line with the 14 principles of management
according to Fayol (2013) on authorities and
responsibilities between leader and subordinate; authorities
should be equal with responsibilities.
The Effect of Organizational Culture on Public Services
The result of hypothesis testing showed that
organizational culture provided positive and significant
effects for public services in the local government of
Gorontalo with a coefficient value of 2.306 and p-value of
0.022.

www.ijaems.com Page | 395
Data in Table 4 shows the result of description of
variable with four types of indicators i.e. involvement,
consistency, adaptation, and mission.
1. Involvement
The questionnaire result showed that the
statement “prepared and sustainable employee
improvement” had a higher frequency score. Therefore, it
was important for the local government of Gorontalo to
pay attention to the improvement of their employees. They
should make a plan for prepared and sustainable employee
improvement. Employees had right to improve. They
should be given opportunity to make improvement. To
make a fair and equitable employee improvement,
employee improvement program was made carefully based
on scientific methods rooted in skill and education needed
by agencies relevant to the job needed. The improvement
was for both non-career and career objectives for junior or
senior employees and conducted through training and
further studies. The employee improvement was an activity
required to be performed by the local government of
Gorontalo. It would broaden and enhance employees’
knowledge, ability, and skill suitable with the demand of
their job. It was in line with a theory proposed by Pratt, L.
and Denison, D (2000:168). It argued that involvement was
the key factor in organizational culture. Active
involvement from organizational members affected
organizational performance, particularly management,
strategy, organizational strategy, organizational structure,
transaction costs, and so on.
2. Consistency
Table 4 shows that the statement “organizational
identity externally had a connection with organizational
image” provided a higher frequency score. Therefore, it
was important for local government to pay attention to
employees who did not comply with values and rules. In
term of service, work overlapping often happened. Job
desks of some employees were unclear. For example, one
day, a letter delivered by a customer was received by an
employee. On the next day, when the employee wanted to
check the letter, he/she forgot where he/she put the letter. It
happened because the employee worked in two divisions,
administration and service divisions at the same time.
People assumed that this would slow down the service
process they obtained.
3. Adaptation
The result of analysis result on adaptation
indicator showed that the statement “understanding people
character” had a higher frequency score. It indicated that
people were asking the service procedure operated by the
local government of Gorontalo moved into technological
era. To respond to this challenge, every OPD leader had to
be aware of this era development known as distribution.
Government should try to transform the public service
system into machine. The enforcement would force public
sector to cut off the bureaucratic chains for the government
performance. When public sector was able to manifest this
threat, the government would be able to improve their
public services. When quality of public service increased,
people’s trust in government would be restored.
4. Mission
The questionnaire result showed that the
statement “prioritizing public interest” provided a higher
frequency score. It was important for the local government
of Gorontalo to place public as government partner, so the
government was able to make an interpretation on a source
based on information presented by the source. While
providing services, every agency should presented their
service standard so that the public as the recipient of the
service understood it properly. The standard had to be well
socialized by each employee working in providing services
for people. Therefore, information delivered by the
employee met the service standard known by people.
The Effect of Leadership on Public Services
The result of hypothesis testing showed that
leadership provided positive and significant effects for
public services in the local government of Gorontalo with
standard deviation of .244 and p-value of 0.
Table 5 shows the result of description of variable
with three types of indicators i.e. interpersonal role,
information role, and decision role.
1. Interpersonal Role
The questionnaire result showed that the
statement “in delivering much kind information, the leader
must do it face to face to establish a good open
communication” provided a higher frequency score. It
meant that communication between a leader and
subordinate was not good enough. It was necessary for
each leader in each agency of local government of
Gorontalo to understand that communication was one of
the important factors for people in daily life both
individually and in group or organization. It was also
important for each agency to be able to cover the gap
between a leader and subordinate (employee), employee
and people as the public to establish a better relationship,
especially in public services. It was in line with the theory
of interpersonal relation needs proposed by Li, Lee and Lai
(2009) that each human had three interpersonal needs
which were control, inclusive and affection. The
fundamental of this theory was that human needed other
9. International Journal of Advanced Engineering, Management and Science (IJAEMS) [Vol-6, Issue-8, Aug-2020]
https://dx.doi.org/10.22161/ijaems.68.4 ISSN: 2454-1311
www.ijaems.com Page | 396
people as social beings. This theory explained that the
relation among individuals should present something in a
particular condition to create something satisfying the
needs of interpersonal relation.
2. Information Role
The result of analysis on information role showed
that the statement “leader delivered information with
straightforward words” had a higher frequency score. It
showed that leaders in the government environment of
Gorontalo had to understand that one of the characteristics
of a good leader was being able to communicate with the
subordinate well. Effective communication ability for a
leader was absolute. A leader should be able to give a right
direction to subordinates, to engender work enthusiasm for
subordinates and to make right evaluation of subordinate
performance.
3. Decision Role
The questionnaire result showed that the
statement “appreciating and respecting subordinates’
opinion and being kind, not discriminating” had a higher
frequency score. It was important for leaders in the
government agency of Gorontalo to understand that one of
the functions to achieve the goal required to be performed
by leaders was how the leader could make decision by
carefully considering both potential positive and negative
impacts. In the reality of decision making, the head of
department and agency in the local government of
Gorontalo tended to use their own leadership styles, either
in autocratic or paternalistic style. It caused internal
conflicts affecting employees’ performance and impacted
service provisi for public. It was in line with a theory
proposed by Rasoolimanesh et al. (2016). In making
decision, one had to choose the best among available
various alternatives.
The Effect of Bureaucratic Behavior, Organizational
Culture and Leadership on Public Services
The result of hypothesis testing showed that
public services were strongly affected by bureaucratic
behavior, organizational culture and leadership variables.
Table 6 shows the result of description of variable
with six types of indicators; such as transparency,
accountability conditional, participative, right to equality
and balanced rights and responsibilities.
1. Transparency
The questionnaire result showed that the
statement “service system via internet” had a higher
frequency score. Local government of Gorontalo had to
understand that in this digital era, internet users using
smartphone in Gorontalo continuously increased from year
to year. Besides, access connecting Gorontalo (the
regency) and Gorontalo (the city) was close enough.
Consequently, the local government of Gorontalo was
challenged to transform public services of each agency,
from conventional services into technology-based public
service products. As a result, activities related to service
system could be carried out via internet.
Benefits obtained by the local government of
Gorontalo using technology-based services were:
a. Efficiency in cost and time
b. Increase in output service productivity and
number of service users
c. As the means to socialize government
performance and program
d. Increase in public satisfaction index, so
public trust in government can be restored
Benefits obtained by people using technology-based
services were:
a. Efficiency in cost and time, no need to come
to service counters
b. No need to queue, all procedures and
documents can be processed online
c. Fast and right access because it was already
online based services
d. Information given was all official and
informative
2. Accountability
The questionnaire result showed that people more
expected service system complying with minimal service
standard. This should be considered by each government
agency providing services. They should reconsider their
governance inseparable from the basic principles of good
governance (transparency, participation, and accountability
as the main element). Terminology of good governance
was yet standard, but there were a lot of definitions that
tried to convey the meaning of good governance. However,
it could not be denied that good governance was
considered an important element to promote national
welfare. Therefore, it was important for employees in each
agency to understand that while providing service, they
should meet the governance of service operational
standard. The understanding mattered, because the
government was not serving themselves but the society. As
a consequence, regarding service provision, the service
standards under the Law Number 25 of 2009 had to be
considered. The government should bring benefit for
society. They had to also avoid to be a difficult and
exclusive bureaucracy. The demand of good governance

www.ijaems.com Page | 397
and society critics for the low quality of public service
forced government to come up with innovation. The
innovation was absolutely required to quickly overcome
problems faced by society.
3. Conditional
The result of data analysis showed that the
statement “the speed of service from employees” and
“employees’ ability in providing services” had an equal
frequency scores. Those statements had to be considered
by each employee in the local government of Gorontalo.
Essentially, service was a series of activities, so the service
process should be performed regularly and continuously,
covering all organizational life of society. The intended
process was carried out by fulfilling needs between service
receivers and providers. For this reason, each employee
had to understand that service was the main activity for
people engaging in service field, both commercial and non-
commercial, where the activity was more intended to
provide service for society (public or general services) that
did not look for profit, but devotion-oriented.
4. Participatory
The analysis result showed that the statement
“services must be provided indiscriminately” had a higher
frequency value. This showed that employees in service
department should provide service for all of people
regardless their ethnicity or religion. The equal service
should be given because public services were carried out
by an individual, a group or an agency to provide
assistance and facility for society. Therefore, the service
provision had to be done indiscriminately to achieve
certain goals. This public service was getting important
because it always related to general public with various
interests and goals. Employees assigned in public services
had to be aware that they worked in a government agency,
a bureaucratic organization operating public services.
5. Right to Equality
The questionnaire result showed that the
statement “a right to provide services” had a higher
frequency score. This should be noted by each employee of
the local government agencies of Gorontalo. In service
provision, the following public service standards should be
met:
a. Service procedures
b. Fulfillment time
c. Service products
d. Service costs
e. Facilities and infrastructures
f. Employees’ competence in service provision
This was in line with a theory proposed by Sinambela
(2010) that public services were a fulfillment of wants
and needs of society by state officials.
V. CONCLUSIONS
According to data analysis, bureaucratic behavior,
organizational culture and leadership simultaneously
provided positive and significant effects for public services
in the local government of Gorontalo. Improvement carried
out in each aspect would improve the quality of public
services in each government agency, which certainly
would satisfy people obtaining the services. In the future,
the local government of Gorontalo is expected to pay
attention to the employee placement and assignment. The
placement and assignment should be done according to
their scientific background. It is important to establish
procedures for assigning and placing leaders and
employees to comply with applicable rules. Employees’
consistency in providing services also has to refer to
applicable values and rules in the government of
Gorontalo.
