This study mirrors the increasing importance of network management and also looks at about the devolution of elderly services or social services in general. This survey research was to develop a structural equation model of network management in elderly services. The sample consisted of 556 elderly service providers in Southern part of Thailand. Data were collected using a questionnaire. Findings show the structural equation model had a good fit with the empirical data (χ 2 = 767.53, df = 279, RMSEA=0.064, CFI=0.98, SRMR=0.058). The model confirms that 6 factors: trust, mutuality, governance, administration, autonomy and, antecedents possessed effects on network performance. Trust had the highest positive direct effects on network performance, followed by mutuality, governance, and administration respectively, autonomy had negative direct effects and, antecedents only had indirect effect. Therefore, when governments have to work together with partners in elderly services, the problems become more complex so administrators should be concern about these constructs to provide service provisions so that a functional capacity can be maintained for elderly well-being.

Abstrak. This study was aimed at examining in depth the various weaknesses and efforts to improve the format of interregional cooperation better, and examining in depth perception, practice collaboration and document of inter-regional cooperation. To address these objectives, this study applied qualitative research methods: Multiple Case Study. This study will discuss various strategies, actions and opinions of actors cooperation in responding to various constraints and weaknesses in the former format of cooperation. The results showed each region considers that decentralization of regional cooperation is indispensable for the development efforts of regional economic potential. However, the existence of inter-regional cooperation is highly dependent on the commitment of the head of local governments and the support of government agencies in both the provincial and central government, particularly in the form of funding and legislation that is used as an umbrella law for cooperation between regions.Keywords: interregional cooperation, commitment of the head of local government, institutional form Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara mendalam berbagai kelemahan dan upaya perbaikan format kerjasama antar daerah yang lebih baik, dan mengkaji secara mendalam persepsi, praktik kerjasama dan dokumen kerjasama antar daerah. Untuk menjawab kedua tujuan tersebut digunakan metode penelitian Multiple Case Study, dimana kajian ini akan membahas berbagai strategi, tindakan dan opini dari para pelaku kerjasama dalam merespon berbagai kendala dan kelemahan dalam format kerjasama yang telah dirumuskan sebelumnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan masing-masing daerah menganggap bahwa di era otonomi daerah kerjasama antar daerah sangat diperlukan bagi upaya pengembangan potensi ekonomi daerah. Namun demikian, eksistensi kerjasama antar daerah sangat tergantung pada komitmen dari kepala daerah serta dukungan dari lembaga pemerintahan di atasnya baik propinsi maupun pemerintah pusat, terutama dalam bentuk dukungan pendanaan dan peraturan perundangan yang digunakan sebagai payung hukum adanya kerjasama antar daerah.Kata kunci: Kerjasama antar daerah, komitmen kepala daerah, format kelembagaan PendahuluanDalam satu dekade terakhir, kerjasama antar pemerintah daerah di Indonesia telah berkembang sebagai bentuk tata kelola baru dalam era desentralisasi. Sebelumnya, otonomi daerah lebih dipahami sebagai kepentingan otonom daerah yang tidak memperhatikan konteks yang lebih luas atau daerah lain yang berdekatan (Keban, 2009). Padahal, otonomi daerah dapat berperan sebagai sebuah instrumen untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan dan kerjasama yang ideal diantara berbagai pemerintah daerah (Surkati, 2012

“…Because of their role in delivering identical or at least similar services to citizens and companies, public administrations often cooperate to leverage synergies and improve efficiency, with many administrations sharing the responsibility for service delivery and collectively providing services (Bel and Warner, 2015;Kwon and Feiock, 2010;Leroux and Carr, 2007;Wood, 2006). The concepts of shared service centers and shared service networks have emerged as a way to optimize the execution of the internal governmental processes involved in providing services (Niehaves and Krause, 2010;Paagman et al, 2015).…”

PurposeGovernmental institutions must cooperate with other organizations across institutional boundaries to achieve high-quality service offerings. The required cooperation may lead to complex networks, including several of the thousands of public administrations in the many federal layers of a single country. This article addresses the key challenge of the proper management of the information exchange between networked actors, which is generally conducted by means of forms. Design/methodology/approachFollowing the design science research paradigm, this research develops a method that assists in the design and maintenance of forms in public administrations. FindingsDiscussions in the project's focus groups add evidence to the researchers' expectation that the method developed in this study improves the quality of forms while reducing the effort required for their design and maintenance. Research limitations/implicationsThis article includes an evaluation of the approach based on qualitative feedback from the project's stakeholders, although the implementation of the workflows and procedures is subject to future work that evaluates the approach in a variety of practical settings. Practical implicationsThe method developed in this article allows public administrations and legislative authorities to design and manage forms in a cooperative way. Software developers can assume the existence of information structures. The approach extends the BOMOS standardization framework to the operational level. Originality/valueThe main contribution of this article is the development of a novel method that will change how information exchange is managed in public administrations.
