Fenomena disinformasi politik disertai dengan peringatan akan sikap negatif yang semakin meningkat terhadap platform media sosial telah memicu perhatian publik secara intens. Pemberhentian 57 pegawai Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) yang telah resmi diumumkan Wakil Ketua KPK Alexander Marwata dalam konferensi pers melalui channel YouTube KPK 15 September 2021 menimbulkan polemik serta kekisruhan opini publik yang berdampak pada proses pembentukan citra lembaga KPK. Fokus dari studi saat ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan pengaruh pemberitaan pemberhentian 57 pegawai pada platform YouTube KPK RI terhadap citra lembaga KPK. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah media sosial dan teori citra. Pendekatan kuantitatif eksplanatif dengan paradigma positivisme serta teknik pengumpulan data melalui Google Form, observasi lapangan, dokumentasi, kajian pustaka dan pencarian informasi serta daya yang relevan digunakan dalam penelitian saat ini. Populasi penelitian berjumlah 96 dan untuk menentukan jumlah sampel digunakan rumus Taro Yamane sehingga diperoleh jumlah 80 orang yang dijadikan responden Lembaga Studi dan Konsultasi Hukum Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta. Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara purposif. Teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis regresi linier sederhana untuk mengetahui perolehan hasil hipotesis praduga yang diajukan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pemberitaan pemberhentian 57 pegawai terhadap Citra KPK cukup berpengaruh terhadap citra Lembaga KPK sehingga teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini cukup mendukung.

“…Since 1998, various administrations have prioritised an anti-corruption policy to pursue transparent and accountable governance (Umam and Head, 2020 ). The positive impacts of such an endeavour can be seen in the positive trend of the country’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) score (see Fig.…”

“…As a corollary to that situation, the government lacks capable policy, decision-makers, and shrewd legislative lawmakers. At constant stake are the quality of laws and regulations and the quality of the anti-corruption regime (Umam and Head, 2020 ). Related to this concern, some argue that the making of the Omnibus Law was in itself corrupt (Sadono and Rahmiaji, 2021 ; TI Indonesia, 2020 ).…”

The importance of institutional quality: Reviewing the relevance of Indonesia’s Omnibus Law on national competitiveness

Institutional quality is significantly relevant in determining national competitiveness when reflected in economic growth and successful development. Quality institutions manifest in robust ‘rules of the game’ reflected by sound governance and policymaking in at least four streams: social, economic, administrative, and political. Policy reforms intended to improve national competitiveness should aim to strengthen the streams simultaneously, whereas partial reforms could instead lead to poorer outcomes. Through the lens of institutional quality analysis, this paper critically reviews the relevance of Indonesia’s Job Creation Law, colloquially known as the Omnibus Law, to improve the country’s national competitiveness as conceptually intended. Declared as an overarching regulatory framework, the Law postulates Indonesia as prospecting for increased foreign investments. However, the Law is a partial policy reform as it overlooks the pivotal aspects necessary to improve institutional quality in Indonesia, such as inter-community relations, intellectual property regime certainty, quality vocational education, and meritocratic political recruitment. Thus, regardless of the opportunities, the Law may bring about, it may weaken national competitiveness instead. The Law is currently ruled conditionally unconstitutional by Indonesia’s Constitutional Court. If it is to be defended by the government, however, further multi-sectoral collaboration is necessary for the future implementation of the Law to enhance Indonesia’s institutional quality. In a more global context, this review indicates how developing nations should be mindful of various non-economic aspects (e.g., cultural and educational levels of the population) when undertaking policy reforms especially to enhance their national competitiveness. There may be future downsides to these implications and as it is too early to critically assess them, there is an opportunity through time and future research to do so.
