Abstract

Manuscript type: Research paper
Research aims: This research examines the influence of Academic Services
(AS), Regulatory Compliance (RC), and Fund Allocation (FA) as part of
Management Performance on the Good Public Governance (GPG) of
higher education institutions in Java, Indonesia.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Drawing upon stakeholder theory, this
research employs Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling
(PLS-SEM), analysed using SmartPLS 4.0. The research involves 15 higher
education institutions, three government agencies, and one regional
leader.
Research findings: The findings indicate that AS and FA demonstrate a
measurable effect on GPG, aligning with stakeholder theory by addressing
the dynamic needs of stakeholders, while RC shows no measurable
influence.
Theoretical contribution/Originality: These results highlight the
importance of aligning management practices with stakeholder needs to
improve public governance in higher education.
Practitioner/Policy implication: The research offers practical insights for
university administrators and policymakers to enhance GPG through
integrated strategies, ultimately contributing to the improvement of public
governance.
Research limitation: The study’s limited sampling, subjectivity, and
respondent biases.
