Analisis Kegagalan Public Service Motivation sebagai Instrumen Pencegahan Korupsi pada Aparatur Negara Indonesia

Abstract

Corruption among Indonesian state apparatus remains a serious problem that damages bureaucratic integrity and hampers public service. Although Public Service Motivation (PSM) is designed to encourage public employees to act ethically and serve the public with integrity, its implementation in the Indonesian context has proven ineffective in preventing corrupt behavior. This study aims to understand the factors that cause PSM to fail as an instrument for preventing corruption in the Indonesian bureaucracy. Using qualitative research methods based on secondary data, this study analyzes reports, studies, and relevant literature related to the implementation of PSM in the context of preventing corruption. The research findings identify five main factors that hinder the effectiveness of PSM: weak internal supervision, an organizational culture that is permissive of corruption, inadequate compensation and welfare, social influence and external pressure, and the absence of a strong ethical infrastructure. These factors collectively create a work environment that does not support integrity, thus affecting public service motivation. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of organizational culture reform, increased supervision, and the development of an incentive system that supports ethics and integrity to optimize the role of PSM in preventing corruption.
