Professionalism of Government Agency Information Service and Management Officers

The government issued a policy of Law no. 14 of 2008 concerning Public Information Disclosure. It aims to create good governance, especially in the transparency of state administration. However, there are many government agencies that have not carried out these regulatory instructions. This unpreparedness can be seen from various factors, including human resources who do not understand the substance of the contents of the law, the limited number of staff and education to the public about the practice of public information disclosure. The implementation of public information disclosure is managed by the Communication and Information Office of Central Java Province as the Main Information Management and Documentation Officer, assisted by the Information Management and Documentation Officer at the Regional Apparatus Organization level as an Assistant Officer. The Department of Communication and Information Technology of Central Java Province has a strategic role as the coordinator of the implementation of public information disclosure, as well as carrying out an evaluation role on the performance of information and documentation managers at the auxiliary level. The main Documentation and Information Management Officer is also obliged to encourage discipline and awareness of all staff at the main and auxiliary levels to implement this policy properly.
