Abstract

A performing public sector can enhance the image of citizens of the public administration and consequently their trust in government. However, to be able to carry out its functions, the government must have good governance. With a case study approach, this study aims to determine how good governance can improve the performance of the Indonesian Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, which runs in a tight budget environment. This study contributes to increased understanding of how implementing a strict budget system such as that applied in Indonesia can facilitate good governance to improve performance in the public sector. From the data analyzed, it can be seen that with the implementation of good governance, there is an increase in performance as indicated by an increase in fishermen exchange rates.
