“…Scheduling development sessions with clients periodically in short time-scale also helps the collaboration for more agile response (24), particularly in giving supports for students, addressing problems, and engaging experts (6,1). (8) argues that collaboration requires clear coordination lines.…”

“…Earlier researches have examined values of agile bureaucracy, such as: bottom-up approach in decision making, ICT employment, trust in collaboration, responsive, and open to change are suitable to address unpredictable targets (5,7,8,9). Agile approach is suggested to be an effective mitigation during a crisis like a pandemic situation (10).…”

“…In the public sector context, previous studies have noted three barriers of agile bureaucracy in governance such as strong hierarchy culture, unpredictability, and the lack of IT infrastructure support. (5,8,13,14) argue that the current bureaucratic culture in government is unlikely to favor agile bureaucracy values because of the strong control and hierarchy. Hierarchy decreases the speed of decision-making and it is suggested that small team autonomy helps to increase the agility (15).…”

“…Previous studies on agile bureaucracy that employed systematic literature reviews indicated that the strength of the evidence is low, lacked of practicality, and lacked of study design details of the papers investigated (8,18). Past studies using different methods such as qualitative method seem to be insufficient in investigating the practicality of agile bureaucracy, the effectiveness, the impact, and how the barriers are solved (3,7).…”

“…(3) suggests future studies to investigate measurement of agility in bureaucracy, factors that support agility, bureaucratic culture adaptation, relevant competence, decisionmaking process, and the outcomes. (8) recommends further studies should focus on describing a model for agile bureaucracy implementation comprehensively in different services. (7,8,9) indicate agile values are possible to be implemented in bureaucracies to increase public values if further examinations could investigate the effect of agile bureaucracy values toward digital government transformations in different countries as public demands changes rapidly in this digital era.…”

E-Learning has been used extensively in the public sector during the coronavirus pandemic. However, the lack of IT capability has led to irresponsive user experience measures. Agile bureaucracy is often mentioned as a set of values to respond to uncertainty during the robust demand of online interactions. Previous studies including systematic literature reviews have suggested that agile bureaucracy in the public sector is hindered by a culture of hierarchy and a lack of IT competency. Using empirical data that was derived from actual experiences, this study aimed to: 1) investigate participant perceptions of agility in e-learning for civil servants in Indonesia; and 2) recommend interventions to deal with the hinderances and prerequisites for agile bureaucracy in e-learning. This research collected data through open-ended interview questions and online surveys, and data were analyzed using the Atlas.ti software. This study considered several agile bureaucracy principles in e-learning, such as continuous improvement, collaboration, merit-based management, responsive and bottom-up decision making, and flexible support. The findings suggested that bottomup decision-making and competency-based human resource management were two critical challenges in agile e-learning provision. Further, this study recommends practical measures that can be taken by e-learning providers to solve these challenges. Keywords: agile bureaucracy, training, competency development, e-learning

When adopting and using a Software Development Method (SDM), it is important to stay true to the philosophy of the method; otherwise, software developers might execute activities that do not lead to the intended outcomes. Currently, no overview of SDM research addresses software developers’ reasoning behind adopting and using SDMs. Accordingly, this paper aims to survey existing SDM research to scrutinize the current knowledge base on software developers’ type of reasoning behind SDM adoption and use. We executed a systematic literature review and analyzed existing research using two steps. First, we classified papers based on what type of reasoning was addressed regarding SDM adoption and use: rational, irrational, and non-rational. Second, we made a thematic synthesis across these three types of reasoning to provide a more detailed characterization of the existing research. We elicited 28 studies addressing software developers’ reasoning and identified five research themes. Building on these themes, we framed four future research directions with four broad research questions, which can be used as a basis for future research.
