MODEL FOR TRANSPARENCY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

The objective of this research is to study the factors that influence the transparency of
local administrative organizations. This is quantitative research. The sample group consists of
400 staffs of local administrative organizations using random sampling. The research
instruments consist of questionnaires and tests. Regarding the data analysis, the researcher uses
the structural equation modeling (SEM). The researcher found that the model of the factors
influencing the transparency of local government organizations is consistent with the empirical
data. It can be considered from the consistency index consisting of χ2= 692.282, df= 356, PValue
= 0.083, CFI =0.934, TLI= 0.920, SRMR= 0.043, RMSEA=0.073 and χ2/df = 1.944.
Most of the latent variables in the model have positive significance at the level of .01. The
variable that has the most influence on the transparency of local administrative organizations is
organizational culture (0.732 **) followed by executive leadership (0.704 **) and participatory
management (0.440 **), respectively. All variables in the model predict the transparency in
operation for 65.90% with statistical significance at the level of .01.
