“…The second 'meso' level of government concerns particular organizations and institutions associated with the delivery of specific public services, such as police or the Internal Revenue Service. Hence, trust in these two levels of government may be more sensitive to performance with respect to public service provision [28,29], vary across policy area and institutions, and as such constitute more of a specific percpetion of government [20,30].…”

Information plays a formative role in citizens’ decision to trust their government. Given an increasingly diverse information environment, which is attributable to the diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICT)s, the Internet, and social media, we hypothesize that citizens’ use of a particular medium for information (online vs offline, and government source vs. non-government source) about their government plays an important and distinctive role in shaping citizens’ satisfaction with government information provision and trust in government. To address this central hypothesis, we analyze data from the 3068 citizen respondents. The findings of our study reveal that citizens’ use of the online medium for information about their government, such as information from local government web-media, lacks a strong relationship with their levels of satisfaction with government information provision and trust in government, while citizens’ use of different sources on the offline medium for information about their government, such as information from local government meeting or official gazette, is found to have a stronger association with citizens’ trust in government and satisfaction with government information provision.

Do civil servants in some countries have higher organizational commitment? Is there any substantial cross-national variation in the form and degree of commitment? Good governance studies show a positive link between Weberian bureaucracy and favourable macro-level outcomes. However, previous comparative research is silent regarding cross-national differences of individual bureaucrats' attitudes and their relationship with national bureaucratic structures. Employing social exchange theory, we argue that closed civil service systems produce higher commitment in senior public officials than open systems do. Using two large data sets in 20 European countries, we find closed systems are associated with continuance and normative commitment.

Indonesia is a large country with the fourth highest population globally. Moreover Indonesia is estimated to become a high income country and be reckoned economically competitive with other countries by 2025. However, bureaucratic governance and performance have not been able to put Indonesia in a strategic position to compete. This is due in part to the fact that the merit system has not yet been fully implemented. As an effort to reform and improve the performance of the public sector in Indonesia, the Indonesian Civil Service Commission (KASN) was established and given the authority to supervise and monitor implementation of the merit system. The KASN has, under this mandate, developed indicators to improve the bureaucratic system from a spoil system towards a merit system. This paper explores challenges with implementation of the merit system in the process of open recruitment, especially for government high positions in Indonesia. Moreover, this paper explains the factors that influence effectiveness with implementation of the merit system in open recruitment. Data was obtained from a number of ministries and local government agencies, using: government documents, official websites, media and other resources. There are three main results of the study, namely (1) indicators to assess implementation of the merit system in open recruitment, epecially for high positions in central and local governments; (2) challenges with implementing the merit system in open selection processes; (3) factors influencing implementation of the merit system in open recruitment.
