Ten years after the implementation of the Public Service Obligations (PSO) scheme in Greece, the mechanism has not led to the desired results. Among others, the state has imposed PSOs onto a number of routes that are either of questionable social value or which could prove financially self-sustainable without the need for a PSO after appropriate consultation with key stakeholders. In this context, and given the dearth of resources during a period of severe economic recession, it is necessary for the government to reconsider the structure of the PSO programme and adjust it to the new reality in Greece. In fact, as a first step towards this direction, the present paper seeks to gather all necessary information using the tools of marketing research, to study customer satisfaction and fulfilment of passenger needs on the PSO routes from/to Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece. Based on the results of primary data research, the paper aims at contributing to the effective communication of the value of the PSO routes to the passengers and set the fundamentals for a subsequent undertaking of a full marketing plan on how to render such routes financially viable.

This article highlights the importance of a dialogic relationship between government and society in the effort to build more participatory service system innovations. The idea of dialogic innovation itself arises as a logical consequence of the open government system, which replaces outdated service practices. This new idea emphasizes accountability, transparency and participation from the community as the spirit of the public service system. Thus, public service innovation is produced by absorbing bottom-up innovation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study model. Data collected through observation, depth interviews and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the Malang Online Service System (SINGO) implemented in the village of Sawojajar, Malang is evidence of the success of dialogic innovation between the community and the government. The android application-based public service system was conceived and created by the Sawojajar community itself, supported by the local government. SINGO’s innovations have succeeded in becoming champions and pioneers for other villages. This shows that dialogical and participatory public services have succeeded in changing the old pathological bureaucratic paradigm into emancipation. Artikel ini menyoroti pentingnya relasi dialogis antara pemerintah dengan masyarakat dalam upaya membangun inovasi sistem layanan yang lebih partisipatif. Gagasan inovasi dialogis sendiri muncul sebagai konsekuensi logis dari sistem open government, yang menggantikan praktik pelayanan yang telah usang. Ide baru ini menitikberatkan pada akuntabilitas, transparansi serta partisipasi dari masyarakat sebagai ruh dari sistem pelayanan publik. Sehingga, inovasi pelayanan publik dihasilkan dengan cara menyerap aspirasi dari bawah (bottom-up innovation). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan model studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, depth interview dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa Sistem Pelayanan Malang Online (SINGO) yang diterapkan di kelurahan Sawojajar, Malang merupakan bukti dari keberhasilan inovasi dialogis antara masyarakat dengan pemerintah. Sistem pelayanan publik berbasis aplikasi android digagas dan diciptakan oleh masyarakat Sawojajar sendiri, didukung oleh pemerintah setempat. Inovasi SINGO sendiri berhasil menjadi juara sekaligus pionir bagi kelurahan lainnya. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pelayanan publik yang dialogis dan partisipatif berhasil mengubah paradigma birokrasi lama yang patologis menjadi emansipatif.

Previous planning for rural revival in towns has emphasized construction and government-led policies. However, we argue that the dilemmas of peri-metropolitan rural areas, such as Desakota in China, are far more complex faced with rural super village and hollowed village transformations. Rural revival planning needs to coordinate with the development of urbanized and rural areas towards multifunctional goals and plans as a whole. Therefore, we selected the town master plan of Lijia, a typical peri-metropolitan village in China, as a case study. Through a historical–interpretative approach involving analysis of planning policies, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews with the key stakeholders involved, we structured the process and mechanism of rural revival in Lijia into three phases: resource identification, capitalization, and financialization. In different phases, different stakeholders adopt different roles. The government takes a leading role in resource identification and capitalization, while firms take a leading role in the process of financialization. “Market-dominant and government-guided” planning stimulates villagers to participate in rural revival. We highlight the importance of multifunctional land-use in terms of rural revival in the master planning of peri-metropolitan villages and provide a practical reference for uniting multiple stakeholders, including governments, firms, and villagers.

Nowadays, organizational innovation constitutes the government challenges for providing better and more efficient services to citizens, enterprises or other public offices. E–government seems to be an excellent opportunity to work on this way. The applications that support front-end services delivered to users have to access information systems of multiple government areas. This is a significant problem for e-government back-office since multiple platforms and technologies coexist. Moreover, in the back-office there is a great volume of data that is implicit in the software applications that support administration activities. In this context, the main requirement is to make available the data managed in the back-office for the e-government users in a fast and precise way, without misunderstanding. To this aim, it is necessary to provide an infrastructure that make explicit the knowledge stored in different government areas and deliver this knowledge to the users. This paper presents an approach on how ontological engineering techniques can be applied to solving the problems of content discovery, aggregation, and sharing in the e-government back-office. This approach is constituted by a specific process to develop an ontology in the public sector and an ontology-based architecture. In order to present the process characteristics, a case study applied to a local government domain is analyzed. This domain is the budget and financial information of Santa Fe Province (Argentine).

Purpose This paper aims to examine different hypotheses concerning the effects of public service motivation (PSM) and other attitudinal or institutional dimensions on organizational performance (OP). Specifically, based on the experience of Chinese provincial governments, this study provides new evidence about how PSM may affect OP. Design/methodology/approach This study collected data from a survey of different provincial government departments in Sichuan Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province and Chongqing Municipality in 2011. Using data from 761 respondents, Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to explore the relationships between related factors. Findings PSM, job satisfaction, affective commitment and job involvement have statistically significant effects on OP, and these results are consistent with the findings of previous researches that PSM positively affected OP at a significant level. The results suggest that, if civil servants have a strong PSM, the performance of their organizations will be high. Research limitations/implications Future research should look for additional factors that affect OP, comparing employees’ perceptions of an organization’s performance with objective data to determine whether, and to what degree, subjective measures of performance are valid measures of OP in the public sector. Practical implications In the process of improving government performance, it is significant to give attention to the government employees’ mentality. The government training and promotion system should encourage civil servants to care about the public interest. A more flattened organization should be considered as part of the next steps in government reform, and more opportunities should be provided to involve more government employees in policy making. Originality/value This study helps to clarify the effects of individual factors of PSM on OP in China in a tightly controlled bureaucratic environment, where related data are hardly accessible.
