“…The conditions of the organization, like ease of decision making, control of funds, lateral communication and reward schemes, inspire innovators to put more effort into new the organization's innovation activities and remain in the organization [40]. Investing in employee welfare by improving work safety, easing communication and giving employees more decision-making roles may improve the organization's innovation readiness score.…”

The public sector plays a pivotal role in setting the pace for climate action innovation through policy development and inter-organization collaborations for sustainable energy solutions. There is generally a lack of a proper understanding of innovation in the public sector compared to the private sector, with the public sector being considered slow, bureaucratic adopters of innovation. This study investigated the understanding and approach to innovation in public energy organizations, determining if and how these organizations innovate and their ability to innovate, especially towards climate action, in Kenya while comparing them with Iceland, a developed economy with equivalent geothermal energy potential. A questionnaire survey was conducted in public energy organizations in Kenya and Iceland. Statistical analysis was used to validate and evaluate the collected data. The study findings revealed that innovation collaboration systems in organizations positively predicted the employees’ innovation awareness, confirming that energy sector innovations shall require public–private sector collaboration in developing innovative, incremental, and disruptive energy solutions. Employee knowledge and skills, on the other hand, were found not to be a predictor of an organization’s innovation awareness. Furthermore, employees’ motivation to innovate, as well as organizational innovation strategy, management structure and leadership, were found to positively predict an organization’s readiness to innovate. Finally, the Kenyan energy sector was benchmarked against the Icelandic energy sector indicating some noteworthy differences in the prioritization of energy sector climate action initiatives, with most organizations identifying themselves as innovation generators and innovation adopters and the least being innovation imitators, showing the organizations’ commitment to developing new technologies, markets and policies towards sustainable energy solutions.

“…Namun Cunningham dan Kempling (Cunningham & Kempling, 2009) justru menyebut bahwa perubahan sektor publik mungkin tidak lebih sulit daripada perubahan yang terjadi di sektor swasta. Hal ini sejalan dengan optimism birokrasi yang disebutkan oleh Aykac & Metin (Aykac & Metin, 2012).…”

“…Masa depan organisasi public (The future of public organizations) menunjukkan bahwa organisasi publik sebagai komponen terpenting dari administrasi publik sangat dipengaruhi oleh proses perubahan, dan terkait hal tersebut maka Aykac dan Metin (Aykac & Metin, 2012) (Kuipers et al, 2014). Sedangkan konteks yang menjadi latar belakang perubahan berupa kekuatan sosial ekonomi, karakteristik sistem politik, pengambilan keputusan elit mengenai keinginan dan kelayakan perubahan, serta terjadinya peristiwa perubahan seperti skandal dan karakteristik sistem administrasi (Kuipers, et.al, 2014).…”

Every organization cannot be separated from change. Change management is also an important aspect of public organizations or bureaucracy in local governments. One of the phenomenal changes implemented by the local government is the concept of employee promotion or widely known as job auctions. Central Java Provincial Government became one of the pioneers in the implementation of open promotion through the concept of talent scouting for the position of administrator and supervisor. Context, content, process, leadership and results are important indicators of change to see the extent to which talent scouting has been successfully implemented by the Central Java Provincial Government. Basically, the changes implemented must be inline with the vision of change and with other related concept changes.

“…The specificity of public organisations is defined by the essence of their goals (other than commercial profit) and by the complex environment these organisations operate in (Boyne et al 2005;Wytrążek 2011). Public organisations are established to meet new challenges and deal with permanent social issues, their task being to develop and implement effective solutions to complex problems that often change rapidly and take unexpected directions (Boin, Christensen 2008;Aykac, Metin 2012). Therefore, regional development and protection of the natural environment can be included in the catalogue of goals and challenges faced by public organisations that should seek to provide solutions to effective regional development management and natural environment protection (Conyers 1983;Hawrysz, Foltys 2016).…”

Cohesion Policy and environmental protection: The attitude of Polish public organisations

The quality of public organisations, which is highly dependent on the institutional quality, is one of the fundamental factors determining policy effectiveness and socio-economic growth trajectories in a long-term perspective. The article provides an insight into the topic of the informal institutions characterising Polish public organisations by paying special attention to informal institutions referring to the awareness of the need for sustainability and an attitude towards Cohesion Policy implementation in the field of environmental protection. Therefore, the main research goal was to verify the following hypothesis: “The staff of Polish public organisations are characterised by the awareness of the need for sustainability and a positive attitude towards Cohesion Policy implementation in the field of environmental protection”. To this end, a direct research technique (e-questionnaire) involving representatives of organisations responsible for Cohesion Policy implementation and for natural environment protection was applied. This made it possible to gather unique data and to elaborate the structure indicators describing the beliefs of staff employed in public organisations. Overall, their positive attitude towards the directions and assumptions of Cohesion Policy in the field of environmental protection was proved. The examined groups of organisations were characterised by a similar way of thinking about Cohesion Policy funds as an environmental protection factor, which seems to be an important institutional building block affecting Cohesion Policy effectiveness. Some of the respondents demonstrated critical thinking, and they developed their own ideas regarding the most important environmental protection factors including mainly both formal and informal institutional elements, such as legal regulations or ecological education.
