This study examines the political process of bureaucratic reform in Wonosobo regional government from 2011-2015. The article uses political and bureaucratic frameworks to describe the interplay of bureaucrats and politicians in the phases of bureaucratic reform. Data collection for this study employed document review and in-depth interviews with key informants. Results of the study show that the political process of bureaucratic reform mainly involved dialectical interactions between actors in the Wonosobo Regional Government and the Regional House of Representatives. The interplay of actors can then be explained through the actors’ configuration, issues that are confronted by the actors, conflicts of interest between actors, and influence tactics used by actors in managing issues and struggling for their interests. The experience of the Wonosobo regional government shows that bureaucratic reform does not only concern technical and administrative capacities in carrying out institutional arrangement, but it also involves political aspects namely visionary leadership, strong political will to conduct reform, and effective use of influential tactics to gain political supports for the reform.
Abstract-Institutionalization of SATRIYA codes of conduct has been an integral part of Yogyakarta Special Region government's efforts to improve their capacities in delivering public services. SATRIYA is now a subject of massive and intensive socialization and internalization carried out by the Bureau of Organization which covers almost all levels of government units. However, the institutionalization of SATRIYA has not been a satisfaction. Therefore, in 2014 the government formed a group of agents of change which consisted of selected civil servants from all units of government. The forming of the group has been a strategic step promoting SATRIYA codes of conduct in the whole Yogyakarta Special Region government. The Group's job is to put SATRIYA principles into action plans consisting task breakdown structures and a list of activities representing all principles of SATRIYA. All civil servants in Yogyakarta Special Region government are expected to comply with the action plans as a set of what-to-do guidance. The most challenging task of the Group is to facilitate civil servants to orientate their actions to SATRIYA principles. One of the Group's critical success measures is the capacity to develop a conducive-workplace environment for SATRIYA principles to be put into practice accordingly. Therefore, the action plans produced by the Group should provide effective role model, slogans and symbols to promote SATRIYA as a common set of normative standards and value patterns in Yogyakarta Special Region government.
Discussions on public sector ethics essentially cover three main issues. First, how to establish a theoretical argument capable of providing answers to queries about what is considered an ethical and unethical conducts in public sector management. Second, how to develop ethical instruments and standards capable of helping resolve ethical dilemmas that commonly occur in the public sector. Third, how to institutionalize ethical principles and instruments developed in public institutions. Both theoretical studies and empirical experiences indicate that the essence of the various forms of a dilemma in the public sector is the conflict between personal virtue and public virtue. These ethical dilemmas may be subdued by institutionalizing ethical principles in public institutions, and it basically involves two substantial activities, namely integration, and revitalization of ethical principles in public institutions. These ethical principles should be integrated within a system of conducts covering standard values and norms that serve as a reference in conducting oneself and in minimizing unethical conducts and in preventing maladministration in public sector management. Legal instruments remain necessary in order to ensure the effectiveness of ethical principles as a code of conduct for government personnel to carry out their tasks and functions. Of no less importance is the effort to improve leadership that highly reveres ethical principles in the public bureaucracy.
Bureaucratic reform in Indonesia has been developed on the principles of good governance which include efficiency, effectiveness, responsiveness, accountability, and ethical conduct. In Yogyakarta Special Region, the provincial government put emphasis on improving personnel capacity and competence as well as strengthening bureaucratic codes of conduct, which paved the way for the prominence of ethical conduct principles as a key success of bureaucratic reform. The institutionalization of SATRIYA codes of conduct has therefore become provincial government's flagship program since 2008. SATRIYA codes of conduct were formally established through Governor Regulation No.72/2008 on Government Codes of conduct in Yogyakarta Special Region. It also complies with Law No.13/2012 on Yogyakarta's Special Status and Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Decree No.39/2012 on Guides of Work Codes of conduct Development. As a set of codes of conduct, SATRIYA has been promulgated intensively in all units and levels of Yogyakarta Special Region government. The institutionalization of SATRIYA has been evaluated regularly in order to ensure its success and continuity. The institutionalization of good governance principles requires a relevant transmission media value. In conclusion, SATRIYA has a significant contribution in establishing good governance in Yogyakarta Special Region. Moreover, SATRIYA has become a model of best practice at national level.
