With the growing significance of public services in developed countries, there is an increased interest in the role of service innovation in governments. While most studies provide empirical analysis on how innovation serves as a promising means of improving public services, little attention has been paid to recognizing which assets and dynamic capabilities are at the heart of service innovation and how successful examples can be identified or classified. The view on this subject remains fragmented, reflecting the need to explore how institutional incentives affect public service innovation. Therefore, the focus of this study is to theorize the concept of service innovation in the public sector to achieve a consensus regarding what types of competitive strategy are the main components of innovation-based public services and to what extent their emergence can be set in motion by institutional design or policy interventions. Based on applications of the public service innovation awards launched by the central government in Taiwan, this paper illustrates the trajectory of innovation through the different approaches of public management. The methods of data collection and analyses of the award-winning agencies are outlined, followed by cluster analysis. The results of the analyses and findings are discussed, and finally, implications for theory and practice are provided.

Public service can be defined as providing services (serving) the needs of people or communities who have an interest in accordance with predetermined basic rules and procedures. Public services view the public as a service target so that they are expected to be able to provide the best dedication in serving a more selective and educative public, as well as managing public policies run by the public bureaucracy. In order to create this, an application of innovation is needed. Innovation is an application or an effort to bring new ideas into implementation with a fairly large change of steps, lasts quite a long time and is quite general in scale. Padang Pariaman Regency is one of the rice producers in West Sumatra Province. Not only that, Padang Pariaman also has agricultural potential such as food crops, plantations, and so on. The agricultural sector is a sector that is able to survive and is utilized by the government to overcome the global economic crisis. For this reason, in addition to making innovations related to health and administration, the West Sumatra Provincial Government is focusing on increasing public service innovation in agriculture. This study aims to identify innovations in the West Sumatra Provincial Government related to improving public services within the Government. This research uses descriptive quantitative method. As a result, the Padang Pariaman Regency Government can improve food security, improve agricultural market information services, farm business administration, and increase plantation yields, which can facilitate and improve the lives of farmers. Suggestions for increasing public service innovation in the agricultural sector of Padang Pariaman Regency are expected that the Government can continue to evaluate the innovations that have been implemented.

Abstrak Pelayanan publik adalah segala kegiatan dalam rangka pemenuhan kebutuhan dasar sesuai hak dasar setiap warga negara dan penduduk atas suatu barang, jasa dan / atau pelayanan administrasi yang disediakan oleh penyelenggara pelayanan  yang  terkait dengan kepentingan publik. Masyarakat sebagai pelanggan memiliki kebutuhan dan harapan pada kinerja penyelenggara pelayanan publik yang profesional. Tugas Pemerintah Pusat maupun Pemerintah Daerah adalah memberikan pelayanan publik yang mampu memuaskan masyarakat. Implementasi kebijakan desentralisasi dan otonomi daerah di Indonesia mengakibatkan pemerintah daerah mempunyai tanggung jawab dan kewenangan dalam menentukan standar pelayanan minimal. Permasalahan mendasar dalam proses pelayanan publik di Indonesia adalah tentang etika. Tidak ada standar universal tentang norma atau etika serta sanksi yang mengatur secara khusus untuk pelanggaran yang dilakukan aparat dalam pelayanan publik. Kata Kunci : Pelayanan publik, Etika, Norma     Abstract Public services are all activities in order to fulfill basic needs in accordance with the basic rights of every citizen and resident of an item, service and / or administrative service provided by service providers related to the public interest. Communities as customers have needs and expectations in the performance of professional public service providers. The task of the Central Government and Regional Government is to provide public services that are able to satisfy the public. The implementation of decentralization and regional autonomy policies in Indonesia has resulted in regional governments having responsibility and authority in determining minimum service standards. The fundamental problems in the process of public service in Indonesia are about ethics. There is no universal standard on norms or ethics and sanctions that specifically regulate violations committed by the authorities in public services. Keywords : Public Service, Ethic, Norm

Preeprint: ABSTRAKPelayanan publik pada dasarnya menyangkut aspek kehidupan yang sangat luas. Dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara, maka pemerintah memiliki fungsi memberikan berbagai pelayanan publik yang diperlukan oleh masyarakat, mulai dari pelayanan dalam bentuk pengaturan ataupun pelayanan-pelayanan lain dalam rangka memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat dalam bidang pendidikan, kesehatan, utilitas, dan lainnya. Berbagai gerakan reformasi publik yang dialami oleh negara-negara maju pada awal tahun 1990-an banyak diilhami oleh tekanan masyarakat akan perlunya peningkatan kualitas pelayanan publik yang diberikan oleh pemerintah. Peningkatan kualitas pelayanan publik mutlak diperlukan mengingat kondisi sosial masyarakat yang semakin baik sehingga mampu merespon setiap penyimpangan dalam pelayanan publik melalui gerakan maupun tuntutan dalam media cetak dan elektronik. Apalagi dengan adanya persaingan terutama untuk pelayanan publik yang disediakan swasta membuat sedikit saja pelanggan merasakan ketidakpuasan maka akan segera beralih pada penyedia pelayanan publik yang lain.Hal ini membuat penyedia pelayanan publik swasta harus berlomba-lomba memberikan pelayanan publik yang terbaik. Ini yang seharusnya ditiru oleh penyedia pelayanan publik pemerintah sehingga masyarakat merasa puas menikmati pelayanan publik tersebut.Kata kunci : pelayanan publik di provinsi riauABSTRACTPublic service is basically about a vast aspect of life. In the life of nation and state, the government has a function to provide various public services needed by the community, ranging from services in the form of arrangements or other services in order to meet the needs of the community in the field of education, health, utilities, and others. The various public reform movements experienced by developed countries in the early 1990s were much inspired by public pressure on the need to improve the quality of public services provided by the government. Improving the quality of public services is absolutely necessary given the improved social conditions of the community so as to respond to any deviations in public services through the movement or demand in print and electronic media. Especially with the competition especially for public services provided by the private makes little customers feel dissatisfaction it will soon switch to other public service providers.This makes private providers of public services must compete to provide the best public service. This should be imitated by government public service providers so that people feel satisfied to enjoy the public service.Keywords: public service in riau province

Abstract The prevailing belief is that local governments, which are closer to their citizens, can deliver public goods much more efficiently than a central government can. Yet skeptics argue that fiscal decentralization can be dangerous. The underlying motivation of this article is to review the basic rationale behind decentralizing public services from the perspective of three main controversies emerging from the literature on decentralization: (in)efficient, (un)equal, and (un)accountable service provision at the local level. For illustrative purposes, this review focuses on two complex and socially important sectors, health and education. The overall conclusion is that the dangers of decentralization are highly relevant to local public service provision, although there is evidence supporting both the decentralization-enthusiastic and the decentralization-skeptical views. When decentralizing public services, reformers should know the specificities of the public service, the local context, and the effects of the design of fiscal relations like the backs of their hands. If things go wrong, recentralization should be an option.

Objectives: The new public service theory is a new theory and practice mode of public administration, which provides an important theoretical platform and a new perspective for the construction of government service center. Value pluralism will inevitably make it difficult for a single value appeal to be consistent with the public value of the public. Methods: If the principle of single value supremacy is the only one, it will promote the infinite development of a certain kind of sports social organizations. Results: To improve the supply efficiency of sports public services, social sports services belong to public organizations, and their development aims to provide social sports services for all citizens, which requires a large number of human resources to participate in public sports services and management. The development of sports social organizations is influenced by economic development and the implementation of the national regional development strategy, the understanding of the government and relevant departments, and the development of sports public services. Conclusion: The choice of paths to promote the innovation mode of social services will provide better public services for improving the existing supply mode and system of public services.

This chapter is not an example of comparative politics but of area studies, a field that is descriptive, cultural, historical, and contextual, seeking to analyse a country or region. The chosen area is the dominion countries of the British Commonwealth. The chosen method is the textual analysis of primary sources: speeches, writings, evidence to inquiries, and interviews by heads of the public services. This chapter analyses how the heads of the public services articulate the traditions of ‘constitutional bureaucracy’ found in Westminster systems of parliamentary government and selectively draw on past understandings to understand present-day changes. It describes traditions under challenge that reshape reforms as reforms reshape them. In each case, it is not a question of ‘in with the new, out with the old’, but of ‘in with the new alongside key components of the old’. The myths and legends of yore remain germane to the modern public service.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the influence exerted by a quality management system (QMS) under ISO 9001: 2015 on the quality of public services organizations in Mexico. Design/methodology/approach The methodological design was quantitative, explanatory, observational and transversal, for which a sample of 461 public servants from the state of Guanajuato, Mexico was obtained. To test the hypotheses, a structural equation model (SEM) was developed through the statistical software Amos v.21. For the analysis of the data, software SPSS v.21 was used. Regarding the goodness and adjustment indices of the SEM (χ2 = 720.09, df = 320, CFI = 0.933, TLI = 0.926 and RMSEA = 0.05) which, therefore, proved to be acceptable. Findings According to the results obtained through the SEM model, the QMS under ISO 9001: 2015 is positively and significantly influenced tangible aspects (β1 = 0.79, p < 0.01), reliability (β2 = 0.90, p < 0.01), related to response quality (β3 = 0.93, p < 0.01), guarantees (β4 = 0.91, p < 0.01) and empathy (β5 = 0.88, p < 0.01) of the quality related to public services in Mexico. The study’s key contribution is that it discovered that implementing a QMS in accordance with the ISO 9001: 2015 standard has an impact on the quality of public services, with the most influential quality of response. Similarly, the assurance and dependability of service quality turned out to be important in providing public service quality. Research limitations/implications In this paper, the QMS was only evaluated as a variable that intervenes in the process of obtaining quality in public service under the ISO 9001 standard in its 2015 version. In this regard, the results’ trustworthiness is limited to the extent that the findings may be generalized in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico’s public service. As a result, the scientific community is left primarily focused on service quality to promote new future research. Practical implications The ISO 9001: 2015 standard’s QMS is one of the tools for success in both the commercial and government sectors. However, there are practical limitations, which focus on the time during which managers exercise their vision in the public sector: first, the dynamics that managers play in public policy; second, the length of time they have served in public office; and third, the interest of directors of public institutions to improve the quality of service provided by the government. Other practical consequences concern organizational culture and identity, public servant commitment, senior management or secretaries of government, as well as work and training. Originality/value The findings of this paper are important and valuable because they foster knowledge generation in the public sector through the ISO 9000 quality area. A model that permits the adoption and implementation of a QMS based on the ISO 9001: 2015 standard in public organizations that seek to provide quality in their services offered to the user is also presented to the literature. Similarly, the paper is important because there is currently insufficient research focusing on the variables examined in the context of public service in Mexico.
