- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the determinants of the performance of local governments in Indonesia. We hypothesize that organizational commitment, management incentives, monitoring, legitimacy, and institutional incentives have positive effects on local government performance. Organizational commitment is measured by follow-up of all audit recommendations and the number of audit findings, while intergovernmental revenue and proportion of non-routine expenditure is used to measure management incentives. Monitoring is measured by political competition and legislature size. Number of voters is used to measure size, while size and wealth of local government is used as the proxy for institutional incentives. Unit analysis of this study is local governments in Indonesia from 2009??"2012. The results show that follow-up of audit recommendations, level of dependency, proportion of non-routine expenditure, number of legislature members, number of voters and local government wealth have positive effects on the performance of local governments. Based on these results, local governments should increase their commitment to follow-up of all audit recommendations and increase their proportion of non-routine expenditure and own-source revenue in order to improve performance. The legislative board can contribute to improved performance by performing effective monitoring.
