The Effect of Strategic Collaboration Approach on the National Educational Standards Achievement and Service Quality in Basic Education at Local Government in Indonesia

“…Inter-organizational collaboration strategy (ICS) refers to the relationship of collaboration strategic capacity of education institution, schools, and education formal agency formally to address some problems in basic education to achieve the objectives. The variable has involved at least five indicators, such as connectedness of each actor or stakeholders in the collaboration of basic education, coordination, mutual trust, sharing communication, and innovation alliance (Geisler, 1995;Kapucu & Demiroz, 2013;Oliver & Ebers, 1998;Ritter & Gemünden, 2003). Based on the result findings we argue that the strategic collaboration approach is a pivotal perspective to improve the ENS and service quality in basic education in Indonesia.…”

“…Based on the literature review, we identify that there are six dimensions of strategic collaboration factors that can determine the success of basic education management and the education standard in the local government and the schooling unit. These dimensions can facilitate the education institution as a public organization to get the best of Service Quality such as; (1) organizational learning and the multiples competencies of actors (Kapucu & Demiroz, 2013;Kim & Park, 2020;Popova-Nowak & Cseh, 2015;Saadat & Saadat, 2016); (2) inter-organizational collaboration capacity (Geisler, 1995;Kapucu & Demiroz, 2013;Oliver & Ebers, 1998;Ritter & Gemünden, 2003); (3) intervention strategies (Cusack et al, 2018;Kapucu et al, 2003;Kapucu & Demiroz, 2013); (4) collaborative capacity networks (Fitzgerald, 2004;Kapucu et al, 2003;Kapucu & Demiroz, 2013); (5) Community Capacity Participation (An et al, 2014;Hite & De Grauwe, 2009;Stoll, 2009). (6) Administrative Management Capacity (Barrera-Osorio et al, 2009;Fullan & Watson, 2000;Kodratillah et al, 2019;Komariah & Sunaengsih, 2016;Wohlstetter & Odden, 2016).…”

“…(3) 2.51-3.50 (fair), (4) 3.51-4.50 (enough), (5) 4.51 -5.50 (good), and (6) 5.51-6.50 (very good). We have been built from the theory of strategic collaboration approach (Norris-Terril & Clay, 2010) which have five dimensions: (a) inter-organizational collaboration strategy (Geisler, 1995;Kapucu & Demiroz, 2013;Oliver & Ebers, 1998;Ritter & Gemünden, 2003) collaboration in decision-making strategy (Cusack et al, 2018;Kapucu et al, 2003;Kapucu & Demiroz, 2013;Kapucu & Garayev, 2011). (c) networks collaboration strategy (Fitzgerald, 2004;Foster-Fishman et al, 2001), (d) collaborative planning strategy (An et al, 2014;Kapucu & Demiroz, 2013;Stoll, 2009), and (e) actors' capacity development strategy (Briggs & Wohlstetter, 2003;Kim & Park, 2020;Popova-Nowak & Cseh, 2015;Saadat & Saadat, 2016;Wohlstetter & Odden, 2016).…”

“…The theory of strategic collaboration states to promote the capacity of the public sector to succeed in their performance, it should be given priorities in developing the capacity or the competence of the personal capacity and organization (Kapucu & Demiroz, 2013). There are several studies have been conducted to measure and analyse the minimum service standards and ENS in a variety of approach, for example; the analysis of MMS and ENS in basic education through discrepancy evaluation model (Nababan et al, 2018).…”

Building Capacity: The Case for Values-based Operations

“…Another study by Williams-Gray (2016) suggested that nonprofits that go through a process of evaluating their individual capacity are more likely to build capacity in the future. Finally, Kapucu and Demiroz (2013) found evidence that an organization's capacity can be increased through the use of strong relationships and networks with other nonprofits. Given these findings and the overt focus on a values-framed engagement environment, we investigated the following research question: how does a values-framed engagement environment affect perceptions of organizational capacity?…”
