In the main, the demends on public services providors for resources and capabilities will be increasingat a time when their flexibility to maneuver and to respond will be increasingly constrained. Anyway, there are two mains ways to provide public sevices: directly, by the services included into authorities of public administration structures, and a delegated-out way, to the other service providers. While there are many diferences between the countries in the extent and the ways in which public sevices are delegated-out, the main factors that will influence behavior are common to all the countries. The public service sector in Europe is vast and complex, because there is no general consensus on what constitutes a „public service”, and the activities included under the term can vary significantly between contries.

Informal Service

Abstract Street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) nowadays provide services under conditions of increased demand for public services coupled with scarcer financial resources. The literature that focuses on how workers adapt to this situation mainly examines their provision of formal resources as part of their job. What researchers have not systematically examined is the delivery of informal personal resources (IFRs) by street-level workers to clients. Understanding the provision of IFRs is particularly important when “no one is fully in charge” of public services. Drawing on 214 in-depth qualitative interviews with SLBs who provide education, health, and welfare services in the public sector in Israel, we found a remarkable range of IFRs they provided to clients. We also found that four main factors influencing the provision of IFRs: lack of formal resources; professional commitment; managerial encouragement; and a work environment whose values combine old and new approaches to public service. The findings contribute to the public administration literature by exposing how public service function in a somewhat vague reality, and they contribute to the SLB literature by highlighting the unrecognized component of informal service provision.

Public Administration Reform

Public services represent an important dimension of quality of society, as they create the contextual conditions for people to further their quality of life. Romanian public administration reform has brought about a constant institutional transformation, which has influenced both the specific features and the quality of the services. This article aims to analyse trends regarding the perceived quality of public services in Romania, in European comparative perspective, using the data of the European Quality of Life Survey (2003–2016). The article aims to understand the low satisfaction with public services in Romania against the background of the public service reform measures taken by government in this period. The article describes the context of Romanian public administration and public service reform, the most important public policy measures adopted and the most important challenges. The lack of vision in the public service reform, the partial introduction of reform elements, the permanent and, sometimes, conflicting changes are issues that may have influenced the way in which the population perceives the quality of public services. The decentralisation process of public services and the insufficient allocation of public funds for delivering such services at local level might have an impact on their quality and quantity perceived by the population. Keywords: public services; public administration reform; citizens’ satisfaction; New Public Management; New Weberianism.

The Government

This study examined the supervision of public services as stipulated in Law 25 of 2009, namely regarding public services and Law 23 of 2014 concerning regional government. Supervision carried out in the law is to give authority to each of the existing institutions or institutions, causing overlapping existing authority. Giving authority to officials will give birth to the rights and obligations to achieve the goals and intentions specified in the legislation. The rise of corruption cases occurs because of the weakness of existing supervision of government administration, especially in public services. In this case corruption will foster public distrust of public services. The form of maladministration carried out by public service providers is always associated with behavior in services performed by public officials and the norms of behavior of officials in public services. In addition, these problems are also caused by the opportunities and authority given to be abused and the low quality of public services in various service sectors. Supervision of public services can provide certainty about the public services provided by the government whether it has been running according to targets and objectives and is a way to find out as early as possible maladministration that might occur so that effective and accountable government can be realized.

The Status

The issues of public service sector development have remained current since the sector was overhauled and reformed in the late 1990s and the early 2000s. The authors identify the following reasons for problems in the public service sector: a failure to force public service providers from the semishade sector and to provide opportunities for cost-effective operations in the newly created market. Currently, the major problems in the sphere of public service provision are largely connected with quality characteristics. Public service shapes the service space in modern urban areas, and provides adequate living conditions, which is a key criterion for quality-of-life evaluation. The authors’ working hypothesis focuses on developing a new format of public service companies’ development on the basis of complexity/integrity and maximal accessibility. The format is seen by the authors as suitable for a network of mini public amenities centers located in functionally diverse urban zones. The authors’ conclusions rest on the results of the authors’ marketing research into the status and development prospects of the public service sector in Mytishchi, Moscow Region. The essence of the concept proposed by the author is the different lines of mini public amenities center development: creating a business environment, priority-based resource allocation, cooperation in information support activities, as well as implementation mechanisms.

Laburpena: Azterlan honen helburua da administrazio publikoaren eredu berriari buruzko ikuspegia ematea, bi ardatz oinarri hartuta: berrikuntza eta adimen artifiziala. Alde batetik, berrikuntza delako administrazioak bilatu behar duen balio erantsia, bere jarrera tradizionala alde batera utzita, eta, bestetik, teknologien abangoardiarekin bat egiteko premia larritik abiatuta (adimen artifiziala) kasu honetan, gainera, berrikuntzaren eragile izanik . Hori guztia, sortzen diren eztabaida etiko sakonak ikuspegi juridikotik aztertuta, eta erronkei aurre eginez, bai zerbitzu publikoa bermatzeko eta bai herritarrek beren eskubideak libreki baliatzeko eta administrazioarekin dituzten harremanetan bazterketarik ez jasateko. Resumen: En el presente estudio pretende ofrecerse un enfoque del nuevo modelo de administración pública sobre dos ejes: innovación e inteligencia artificial. Por un lado, desde la perspectiva de la innovación como valor añadido que la administración debe buscar frente a su posición tradicional y, por otro, desde la imperiosa necesidad de sumarse a la vanguardia de las tecnologías en clave de inteligencia artificial, en este caso, además, como motor de innovación. Todo ello desde un análisis en perspectiva jurídica, desde los retos que se plantean para garantizar no sólo el servicio público, sino el libre ejercicio de sus derechos por la ciudadanía y la no discriminación en su relación con la administración, ante los profundos debates éticos que aparecen. Abstract: In the present study, we intend to offer an approach to the new model of public administration on two axes: innovation and artificial intelligence. On the one hand, from the perspective of innovation as an added value that the administration must seek in the face of its traditional position and, on the other, from the imperative need to join the vanguard of technologies in the key of artificial intelligence, in this case, also as an innovation engine. All this from an analysis in legal perspective, from the challenges that are posed to guarantee not only the public service, but the free exercise of their rights by citizenship and non-discrimination in their relationship with the administration, before the profound ethical debates that appear.

And Function

ABSTRAKPemerintah pada hakekatnya menyelenggarakan fungsi pelayanan publik kepada masyarakat. Karena itu pemerintah berkewajiban dan bertanggungjawab untuk memberikan pelayanan publik yang baik dan professional, namun pelayanan publik yang diberikan oleh penyelenggara pelayanan publik di rasa masih belum maksimal, hal ini di tandai dengan masih banyaknya praktik-praktik Maladministrasi dan pengaduan dari masyarakat. Ombudsman Republik Indonesia yang dibentuk dan disahkan dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 37 Tahun 2008 Tentang Ombudsman Republik Indonesia, yang memiliki tugas dan fungsi untuk mengawal proses pelayanan publik yang efisien, efektif, dan terlepas dari kolusi, korupsi, dan nepotisme (KKN). Selain itu Ombudsman juga memiliki wewenang dalam menyelesaikan sengketa pelayanan publik dengan cara mediasi, konsiliasi dan ajudikasi khusus atau ganti rugi yang dapat di putus oleh Ombudsman. Kenyataannya Ombudsman hanya mampu memberikan rekomendasi kepada terlapor, untuk tindakan selanjutnya tergantung dari itikad baik terlapor, karna rekomendasi yang di berikan oleh Ombudsman tidak bersifat mengikat. Selain itu terdapat ketidak relevasian antara Undang-Undang Pelayanan Publik dan Undang-Undang Ombudsman sehingga perlu adanya pembaharuan dalam kedua Undang-Undang tersebut, dan perlu di atur lebih lanjut terkait Peraturan Presiden Tentang mekanisme dan tata cara pembayaran ganti rugi ajudikasi khusus.Kata kunci: ajudikasi khusus; ombudsman; pelayanan publik; urgensi. ABSTRACTThe government is essentially carrying out the function of public services to the community. Therefore the government is obliged and responsible to provide good and professional public services. However, the public services provided by the public service providers are felt still not optimal, this is marked by the many practices of maladministration and complaints from the community. The Ombudsman of the Republic Indonesia which was formed and approved in UUD (Indonesian constitution) Number 37 of 2008 concerning of the Ombudsman of the Republic Indonesia, which has the duty and function to oversee the process of public services that is efficient, effective, and free from collusion, corruption and nepotism. In addition, the Ombudsman also has the authority to resolve public service disputes by means of mediation, conciliation and special adjudication or compensation that can be decided by the Ombudsman. In reality the Ombudsman is only able to provide recommendations to the reported, for further action depends on the reported good faith, because the recommendations given by the Ombudsman are not binding. In addition, there is an irrelevance between the Public Service Act and the Ombudsman Law, so there is a need for reforms in both of these Laws, and it needs a renewal to the both of the Act, and also needs to be regulated further related to the Presidential Regulation concerning the mechanism and procedures for paying special adjudication compensation.Keywords: ombudsman; public services; special adjudication; urgency.
