Smart Governance, Readiness, Communication ClimateAbstrak
Smart governance is one dimension in a smart city that focuses on governance. In its implementation, there are many obstacles faced by local government organizations in Sidoarjo Regency. This study aims to analyze and explain the readiness and communication climate of local government organizations in the Sidoarjo Regency in implementing smart governance. This explanatory quantitative study used a sample of 117 respondents distributed among nine local government organizations. Data was collected through a questionnaire distribution arranged into three variables: readiness, organizational environment, and smart governance. The collected data was coded, processed, and tested for validity, reliability, homogeneity, linearity, normality, and heteroscedasticity. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the study show that readiness and organizational communication climate simultaneously have a positive and significant influence on the implementation of smart governance with an R coefficient of 66.5%. The success of implementing smart governance depends on the readiness of resources and infrastructure as well as a conducive communication climate.Referensi
