Governance Practices

This chapter analyzes the connection between CEO hubris and corporate governance contingencies, including a case study of an Italian bank for which the state of financial distress shall be linkable also to bad governance. The main objective is to verify whether, in presence of hubristic CEO, the internal control mechanisms, set to ensure the board vigilance and limit the overconfidence of the leader, are implemented, and if so, whether such mechanisms, even when formally respected, may be not so appropriate to guarantee a good governance. Particularly, the existence of a CEO hubris could neutralize their positive expected balancing effects on the power dynamics between CEO and board, such as to give prevalence to substance over form. Therefore, it may occur that some governance mechanisms (e.g., independence, non-duality), even if formally implemented, are unable to stem the managerial entrenchment of the CEO, who succeeds in enhancing immoderately his substantial power in the decision-making process.

Stock options are used only sparingly in Japan. Japanese firms are more likely to adopt new stock option plans when they are more (less) owned by arms-length investors (stable and controlling shareholders). Those firms have significantly more independent boards and pay higher dividends surrounding the adoption year than their industry peers. These results suggest that firms adopting stock options endeavor to meet demands for good governance practice from arms-length shareholders and to follow good governance practices in other dimensions. The coexistence of arms-length, stable, and controlling shareholders generates a situation in which stock options are not widely used in Japan.

Purpose The paper aims to introduce the reciprocal expectations (RE) approach to co-leadership and outlines the complex environments within which public services operate. Design/methodology/approach A case study of two government departments is undertaken to apply the RE approach within a public services context. Findings The application of the RE approach to co-leadership resulted in the mending of broken relationships, thereby providing the basis for stable, effective government, and restoring Ministerial confidence in the government departments. Practical implications Strong and effective co-leadership can be achieved when attributes of trust, honesty, and clear expectations are facilitated and mutually adopted. Originality/value The organizational context of elected and professional leaders in government is complex, unique, and requires special attention. The RE approach is original, and the case studies contribute to the knowledge of co-leadership and the benefits of the RE approach to good governance practice.

The purposes of this research are to describe; the condition of civil servants (PNS), the implementation of recruitment and development of civil servants, also problems and policy solutions for good governance practices in the recruitment and development of civil servants in Central Lombok. The result of research, there is surplus (excess) of the number of civil servants who have to occupy the position on Echelon III, those are 4,241 people and echelon II are 73 people. The implication is unhealthy competition to obtain structural positions, which then disturbs the health of bureaucratic organizations. Recruitment of civil servants is guided by Government Regulation (PP) No. 98 of 2000 which constructs six stages of work; planning, announcement, application, screening, appointment of  CPNS up to appointment to be civil servant. The position of Regent as the officer of the regional staffing authority gives him authority in the appointment of echelon IV to Echelon II without any sides’ consideration. As the result, practices of civil servant development policy create three conditions; the growth of spoils system practices, the improper use of the work of Baperjakat, and ultimately the practices disturb the independence of Baperjakat work. Good governance practice in civil servant recruitment has practiced aspects of efficiency, transparency and equity, but it has not been seen in the development aspect. Based on the above conditions, this research offers policy solutions to local governments.

ABSTRACT Objective: to know how the nurse's "use of self" occurs in a surgical in-patient unit from the perspective of ergology. Method: a qualitative case study based on historical and dialectical materialism and the theoretical reference of ergology. The study participants were 12 nurses working in a surgical unit of a high complexity hospital. The evidence sources for the data production were systematic observation, document analysis and semi-structured interview. The data were produced between March and September 2015. Data were analyzed according to the thematic content analysis. Results: The thematic category: Dramatic "use of self" in the work of the nurse in a surgical in-patient unit, emerged from the analysis. It was evidenced that nurses organize themselves in different ways to carry out the work process, concretizing the use of themselves in several situations, which is related to the management of care. It should be noted that, although there is prescribed work, the knowledge, experience and values influence the use of self by these workers, with a view to renormalizing work. Conclusion: the nurses in a surgical in-patient unit develop their work based on previous norms, as well as their knowledge, experience and subjectivity, effective use of self, aiming to renormalize activities, exercising autonomy for the improvement of care.

This study sought to assess the practice and challenges of good governance in Bonga Town Administration. A descriptive research method was utilized. Respondents are selected by purposive and convenience sampling techniques. Quantitative data was gathered through a questionnaire. Pertinent to qualitative information, structured interview, and FGD are employed. Then, data analyzed through quantitative and qualitative methods. Finally, the study disclosed a low level of accountability and transparency in the town administration. Pervasive corruption is also perceived as a key governance problem in the town; however, due to fear of reprisal citizens lack experience in exposing corruption. In sum poor service delivery, the gap between local government representatives and the town people, high level of rent-seeking, weak political leadership, lack of timely response for a public interest, and public disengagement in shared affairs were found to be challenges of good governance. Henceforth, based on the findings, it is concluded that the current good governance practice in Bonga Town Administration is weak and identified with a high level of rent-seeking among public servants as well as appointed and elected authorities. This research argues for the existence of governance which ensures public engagement in decision making and prioritization of shared problems, accompanied by transparent and accountable administration.
