This paper examines how digital governance systems enable public administration organisations in Thailand and Indonesia to enhance the effectiveness of their management of migrant populations. It employed qualitative methods, including document assessment and interviews with public administration personnel and migrant community representatives, to conduct a comparative study between Thailand and Indonesia. It evaluates digital governance systems, their associated policies, and execution methods for migrant service delivery. It shows that Thailand uses digital governance to enhance migrant service delivery through comprehensive system integration, real-time data management, and stakeholder participation. The research reveals that Indonesia faces two primary obstacles, stemming from inadequate infrastructure and inconsistent policies. In addition, the research provides essential knowledge about digital governance in public administration, demonstrates its value in addressing the complexities of migration management, and offers guidance to policymakers facing similar challenges.

The Russian Presidential Decree envisages the transfer of 100 mass socially important services into a “proactive mode” by 2030. It is assumed that the relevant changes will lead to a significant leap in the perceived quality of services and in the optimization of their delivery processes. The aim of this study is to develop a methodological approach to the implementation and evaluation of proactive government services. The proposed approach enables the evaluation of proactivity aspects, which previously lacked clear assessment criteria; defines the target state of proactive government service delivery within technological and legal constraints; and systematizes challenges in implementing the proactive regime. The paper addresses the tasks of theoretically substantiating the modern understanding of proactivity of government services, categorizing government services by target levels of proactivity for systematic practical application, developing criteria for assessing the state of proactivity in government services and developing appropriate methodological tools for systematic implementation of proactivity in the sphere of public services. To solve the problems, the research employs a combination of methods: formal legal analysis, analysis of literature and regulatory documents, in-depth expert interviews, and quantitative assessments. The significance and novelty of the work are determined by the development of a universal approach to assessing government service proactivity, applicable for the consistent and systematic implementation of proactive government services in practice, while identifying and addressing challenges in digitalization and proactivity across various sectors of public administration.

The Digital Document on Education (DDE) is one of the means to support the digital transformation of vocational employment and education. The aim of the study is to identify the impact of DDE on the training system and higher education. The analysis of legal acts revealed two forms of DDE, such as electronic document and digital record in the government information system (GIS), and their specific characteristics were systematized. The properties attributed to documents by the electronic form are automated qualification confirmation, preparation and data processing. The digital record as DDE fosters transformation of the relationships between stakeholders in education and employment. DDE leads to the replacement of direct interactions between higher education institutions (HEIs), graduates and employers with digital interactions mediated through GIS. The analysis of DDE in the context of digitization of public administration and economy has shown the high importance of collecting and processing enhanced data on graduates, training areas and educational organizations, as well as generating new data as information support for the management of vocational training system and educational organization. DDE supports the development of platform-based employment through access to complete and reliable information on vocational training of specialists. The influence of DDE extends to public authorities, management of HEI and platform employment of citizens, but does not affect the educational process. The survey conducted among students revealed their unpreparedness for DDE and the need for a transition period to promote the advantages of DDE. The main benefits include analytical data processing which contributes to efficient management of the vocational training system, and creating a legally significant environment for electronic interaction with education documents to improve the quality of employment and the business climate in Russia as a whole.

State control and supervision activities should aim to minimize risks of potential harm to the legally protected values caused by violations of legal norms. All citizens are interested in protecting such values as life, health, rights and lawful interests, environment, cultural heritage. However, neither the Federal Law of 31 July 2020 No. 248-FL nor the practice of its implementation provides for the systemic identification and monitoring of the achievement of this result by the citizens as an indicator of the effectiveness of state control (supervision). The authors argue that this gap may be addressed by using the citizens' safety perceptions of legally protected values. This indicator has been estimated and analyzed in the framework of sociological surveys conducted by RANEPA in the past several years. In order to substantiate the feasibility of employing this indicator, the article explores the data obtained from the All-Russian Sociological Survey conducted by RANEPA in 2024 and compares the results with those derived from similar surveys carried out in 2018 – 2023. Furthermore, the article identifies the factors determining public perceptions regarding the safety of legally protected values. The regression analysis results demonstrate that certain factors, such as the effectiveness of citizens' appeals to state control bodies, the frequency citizens’ encounters with the necessity to safeguard legally protected values from potential harm, and the level of citizens’ trust in regulatory and enforcement authorities have a statistically significant impact on the citizens’ safety perceptions of legally protected values. Therefore, this indicator may be recommended for evaluating the performance of regulatory and enforcement bodies from the public perspective. The authors propose recommendations for defining the official status of this performance indicator and improving public perceptions of the safety of legally protected values.

The Development Agencies were established in 2006 in Türkiye to support regional development, with the budget transferred from the central government. The Development Agencies collaborate with public administrators, local governments, provincial administrations, universities, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to adopt an effective governance model. The work of agencies in exceptional situations is also distinctive compared to other actors. It is crucial to evaluate the efforts of the Development Agencies in mitigating the social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and draw conclusions about their effectiveness in the region. The impact of a pandemic outbreak on the Development Agencies has not yet been researched. This study aims to evaluate the work of the Serhat Development Agency and the effect of this new process on the local development of the region during the pandemic period, which continues its activities in the provinces of Agrı, Ardahan, Kars and Iğdır covering the TRA2 region of Türkiye. The study was conducted using the qualitative method. In-depth interviews were utilized during the field research in the agency between 19–29 October 2021 and 18–22 Jan uary 2023. The results obtained show that the pandemic process has reduced the interaction of the agency with its stakeholders and new projects have not been supported, which had a negative impact on the development of the region. Agriculture continued without any interr uption during the pandemic. Negative effects were seen in the tourism, food, and service sectors, but no additional efforts were made to remedy them.

This study examines the influence of change leadership on employee support for an intentional organizational change in the Delta State Ministry of Education Asaba, Nigeria. The study employed a cross-sectional research methodology and a self-administered Likert-type questionnaire. Data for the study were obtained from employees who were undergoing through significant upheaval. The data collected was evaluated using structural equation model. The study found that essential change leadership qualities including communication and involvement aid in building employee support for change initiatives. The cognitive and behavioral reactions of the employees to the planned change was influenced by change leadership. Employees' cognitive assessments of and emotional reactions to the planned change event served as a mediating factor in the relationship between change leadership and behavioral intentions to support the planned change. When assessing planned organizational transformation efforts, leaders frequently pay more attention to how employees respond to the change than to the causes of those reactions. The significance of addressing employee attitudes as the first step toward desired change activities was emphasized by this study. This study adopted a multidimensional approach to attitudes and examined their hierarchy of impacts in order to more accurately describe the influence of change leadership on employee support for change. The study makes a number of suggestions, one of which is that leaders should boost employee morale prior to initiating change projects in order to increase the likelihood of success. In a world of rapid change and cultivation of adaptable mindsets, change leadership is essential.

To assess the effectiveness of managing the impact of society on the environment, politicians and researchers use modeling of socio-economic processes with regard to environmental challenges and effects. The current paper explores the “pressure-state-response” model (PSR): human activity impacts the natural environment (pressure) and affects its quality and quantity of natural resources (state); society responds to these changes through policies as well as through changes in consciousness and behavior (response). Based on the theories of practice, we considered the element of “pressure” that shows the anthropogenic impact on the natural environment as a set of social practices, by changing the elements of which we can effectively manage the current state and possible responses. As a result, we selected the ideas that may help overcome the limitations of the “pressure-state-response” model. Besides, we described social practices as an element of “pressure”, focusing on the connections of social practices with the elements of “state” and “response” to explain how social meanings, competencies, and infrastructure determine the use of natural resources and how the anthropogenic impact on the natural environment should be reduced. We also identified possible approaches to developing indicators that characterize the components of the “pressure-state-response” model. The article may be of interest to researchers studying the processes of greening, scientists using the “pressure-state-response” model, and authorities developing more effective responses to the degradation of the natural environment.

Over the past decade, environmental stability has become a priority on the international agenda. To prevent climate change, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including from agricultural production. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of subsidizing and price support for the production of individual agricultural products on increasing greenhouse gas emissions. For the first time, emissions from the production of certain agricultural products in the Russian Federation were analyzed using the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) methodology; the level of support and social value of products were calculated. The analysis revealed that the livestock sub-industries produces the largest portion of anthropogenic gases emissions, and they who receive the largest transfers through market prices support and direct budget payments. The paper explores state support measures to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.

This study aims to identify the critical factors for enhancing the government performance management system in Indonesia. The research was carried out in three major provinces: Yogyakarta, South Sumatra, and West Java Province. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study utilized descriptive research with both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The quantitative analysis involved multivariate regression analysis conducted using R-Studio, while the qualitative aspect included insights from selected key informants. The findings of the study highlight that leadership commitment and internal policy support are the most influential factors in sustaining the government performance management system in Indonesia. Additionally, such factors as organizational structure stability, working culture, conformity to national policies, clarity of performance cascading, and quality of human resources showed positive correlations. However, the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) was found to have no comprehensive correlation in supporting performance management systems.

The city’s strategy should take into account not only the priorities of increasing investment competitiveness and the improvement of citizens’ well-being, but also the issues of sustainable development. Sustainable development of cities has been the subject of active discussion in recent years. This article proposes four modernized directions for sustainable urban development, which correspond not only to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (particularly SDG 11), but also to the original directives of local authorities. These directions include affordable housing, accessible and sustainable transportation systems, sustainable urbanization, and the environmental impact of cities. We developed a methodology for estimating synergies and trade-offs between and within these directions using correlation network analysis with the causality of the indicators and the lags of years. We tested this methodology by estimating the synergies and trade-offs in the sustainable development of the thirteen largest cities between 2015 and 2019. The results of the correlation network analysis are offered as a weighted directed network correlation graph. Our findings could be implemented by local authorities in the form of a Gantt chart for the optimal order of sustainable urban developmentthat could be based on the network correlation graph.
