Entrepreneurial Government Attitude Towards the Performance of Local Government Officials

Public demand for the implementation of good governance in the public sector for several years has been increasing because the performance of public services does not seem to meet public expectations. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of entrepreneurial mental attitude on the performance of the government apparatus in the district of Sitaro Islands. The analytical method used is associative and relies on multiple linear regression. The results show that both simultaneously and partially, entrepreneurial government mental attitudes including innovator, brave and creative attitudes, creating value and recognizing opportunities, communication skills, human mobility, and resource have a positive and significant impact on the performance of government officials. The results also show the attitude of innovators has the lowest variable value which means that the leaders should enhance the attitude of Mental Entrepreneurial by improving the employees' attitude of innovators, either through leadership training, entrepreneurship, or education quality improvement, therefore the performance of the officials may be enhanced.DOI: 10.15408/etk.v16i2.4968


INTRODUCTION
People's demand for the implementation of good governance in the public sector throughout the recent years has increased. This is learned from the experiences of many public organizations that have poor performance. White (2000) argues that the private sector and the public sector face the environmental challenges more or less the same.
While the government bureaucracy organization is the organization of the forefront (street level bureaucracy) that provide services to the community (Yusrialis, 2012).
The environmental changes that covers all aspects of life, whether they are economic, social, cultural, and political aspects influences the demands of the community.
The determination of the law (UU) No.32 of 2004 and Law No.33 of 2004 concerning regional Governments and Financial Equalization Between the Central Government and the regions, implies a broader autonomy demands and accountability of the public service, in the era of regional autonomy (Idris, 2012).
The quality of public services in Indonesia does not provide satisfaction for the society as users of services. Society as users of services should pay more expensive (high cost economy) for getting the public service. Uncertainty of time and cost make people have a negative perception toward the bureaucracy (Ghina, 2012). While the process of decentralisation was intended to make local governments more effective and responsive to the local population, and may have opened a way to achieve such purposes, serious downsides to decentralisation are also reported. Particularly in developing and transitional countries, monopoly on power by local elites is the frequently reported problem (Charlick, 2001;Devas and Grant, 2003;Litvack et al., 1998;Peters, 2001).
The public sector executive reviews and corrects the ways work, for example by introducing a new system, reorganization, adopting new work methods and so forth including making management changes (Ulupui, 2002). Performance seen from the speed, quality, service and value the meaning of speed in the process of working that have reliable quality and good service and value is seen from the achievement of a performance or not.
The public sector also needs to make efficiency and effectiveness in the management by cutting government spending (Walsh, 1995). It shows the current public sector is expected to show the characteristics possessed the private sector, including in the field of entrepreneurial behavior (Leadbetter, 1997in White, 2000. To meet the challenges that arise from changes in the global environment, society today requires a bureaucracy that has the soul of an entrepreneur/ entrepreneurial government (Winarno, 2004). This is due to the challenges of globalization, both in the context of administrative and political context will never be implemented effectively if local government officials failed to adequately develop its capacity to manage the development process. In this context, it is significant for reinventing government to be applied at the right moment. In this context, reinventing is interpreted as a reinvention of bureaucracy by relying on selfemployment system, which is to create organizations and public systems that are used to updates, continuosly, improve its quality without needing a boost from the outside.
Reinventing means creating a public sector that has the inner urge to correct in a way "that renews the system independently". In other words, make reinventing government is ready to face the challenges that may not be anticipated "economic turbulance". In addition, reinventing not only improve the effectiveness of the current government, but also be able to build organizations that are able to improve its effectiveness in the future at the time of the organization's environment changes rapidly (Osborne and Plastrik, 1992).
There are at least seven competence that must be possessed by entrepreneurial bureaucracy, namely (Winarno, 2004): (1). Sensitive and responsive to new opportunities and challenges that arise in the market; (2). Not fixated on regular activities related to the functions instrumental bureaucracy, but must be able to make a breakthrough (breakthrough) through creative and innovative thinking; (3). Having a futuristic insight and systematic; (4). Having the ability to anticipate, calculate, and pose a risk; (5).
Observant of the potential sources and new opportunities; (6). Having the ability to combine resources into a resource that has a mix of high productivity; (7). Having the ability to optimize the available resources, by shifting the source of low productivity activities towards high-productivity activities.
In an era where the market is very dynamic/ volatile, high competition among competitors to capture market share are the same, as a result consumers are becoming accustomed to excellent service, high product quality, plenty of choice and enjoying competitive prices. Such changes have demanded an appropriate response from the organizers of the public bureaucracy (Osborne and Gaebler, 1992), so that the business climate remains conducive for the bureaucrats keen in regulating the market. Sitaro Islands District as a new autonomous region of the division, is currently in full swing carrying out the development in accordance with the spirit of regional autonomy, with the orientation of the progress of regional development that is consistent with national policy, through breakthroughs by both the regional government bodies, the business sector, and the community to absorb the opportunity and build the area so that it does not lag behind other autonomous regions which are divided based on the principles of wealth management area, based on the rules established between the center and regions, with the aim to improve service, and oriented towards improving people's welfare.
The mental attitude of the government apparatus as a bureaucrat, must be changed. Schuller (1990)  The negative traits are quite contrary to the opinion of Osborne and Gaebler (1992), among others: 1) competitive government officials and 2) the government apparatus that is driven by the mission (the organization is driven by regulation). The same opinion was delivered (Winarno, 2004) that in order to apply entrepreneurial government, then government officials should have the orientation: 1) Preventing problems before they start. 2) focus the energy to be productive, 3) decentralizing authority 4) Liking market mechanisms rather than bureaucratic mechanisms (dynamic) 5) Catalyzing all acts of public sector, business and the public to attempt to solve the problem.

METHOD
The research type is explanatory or is an explanation that is associative to determine the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. This research is based on the quantitative type of data collected. In this study, the target population is the government apparatus of the Sitaro Islands District with the total sample of 115 civil servants. The research location is in the District of Sitaro Islands. The study was conducted in July to September 2016. The non-probability sampling techniques were used on government officials in the area of Sitaro Islands District, where they have an opportunity and an equal chance to be elected as respondents. In accordance with the characteristics of a particular sample required then the non-probability sampling techniques selected was the purposive sampling technique. Purposive technique is used when the researchers selects a sample based on several criteria (Cooper & Schindler, 2006).
This study uses the Likert scale as a research instrument. The multiple regression analysis is a method that is used to describe the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The analysis techniques used in this research is multiple linear regression, with the following formula:

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The test results of the research instruments are all valid and reliable. All items are valid questions having a value above the value of r count r table , and also the value of r is greater than the critical value that is above 0.30 (> 0.30). While the reliability test shows all variables are reliable because it has Cronbach alpha values above the value of 0.60 or > 0.60 (Malhotra, 2007). The test results shows that all variables in this study are valid and reliable, and may be continued for the multiple linear regression analysis and hypothesis testing. Multicolinearity test results can be seen in Table 2. A significance level of 0.05 was used and the output obtained was t calculate equal to 2.215. The distribution t table be sought at a = 5% (Test 2 sides) with degrees of freedom df = 113, with 2-sided test (significance = 0.025) the results obtained for t table of 1.658.
Obtained t count > t table (2.215> 1.658) Ho is rejected. The conclusion is because t count > t table then Ho is rejected, it means that innovator has partial effect on the performance of the government apparatus. T value is positive, meaning that the effect is positive, meaning that the higher the value of Innovator further improve the performance of government officials. Variable Innovator also has a significance less than 0.05, that is 0.001, meaning the variable Innovator has a significant influence on the performance of the government apparatus.
A significance level of 0.05 was used and the output obtained was t count 2,577. The distribution government officials. Variable Human Resources Mobility also has a significance influence less than 0.05, which is 0.000, meaning variable Mobility human resources has significant effects on the performance of government officials.
This study uses the multiple linear regression analysis to see each of the relationship between independent variables and dependent variable. Then, to obtain a valid test of the regression analysis the classical assumption is performed. The result of the classic assumption test conducted are namely: normality is met, there is no multicollinearity, there are no heteroscedasticity. It can be concluded that the regression model was valid. Partially it is known that: Innovators attitude influences the performance of government officials. T value is positive, meaning that the effect occuring is positive, so the higher the attitude of innovators will further increase the performance of the government Communication Skills has influence on the performance of government officials. T value is positive, meaning that the effect occuring is positive, so the higher the ability of communication will further increase the performance of the government apparatus.
Variable Communication Skills also has a significance less than 0.05, which is 0.000, meaning it has significant influence on the government officials performance. Likewise, Mobility human resources has influence on the performance of government officials. T value is positive, meaning that the effect occuring is positive, so the higher the mobility of Human resources will further enhance the performance of the government apparatus. The variable Human resources mobility also has a significance less than 0.05, which is 0.000, meaning it significantly influences the government officials performance.
Entrepreneurial government (government-oriented entrepreneurs) will always be able to present a policy-oriented citizens. The policies taken has strategic value because it will generate returns in the form of increased support from the lead. Mahsun (2006) states to accelerate and magnification of dividends in the form of support from constituents is a necessity in public service and presenting problem solving regulation so that the agency can focus on three main tasks are: to respond to complaints of its citizens quickly, conduct a routine inspection, and punish who violate the regulations. The main focus of attention on entrepreneurial government is how to think strategically to broaden the perspective and take advantage of the creativity that is responsible, besides that they are not only able to generate brilliant ideas, but also accompanied by the ability to realize those ideas.
Government apparatus-oriented entrepreneurs, will be able and willing to take risks that are scalable and able to explain the steps that are considered strange and innovative (Mahsun, 2006;Sumarhadi, 2002).

CONCLUSION
The enterpreneurial mental attitude is very important for the government apparatus, so that in conducting their duties and job, they are no longer oriented toward cultural centralization, structuralization, formalization and apathy, but oriented on innovation, daring and creative attitude, ability to create value and identify opportunities, skills of communication, and capability of human resources mobility and resources organization. In the context of the interaction strategies between supervisors, peers, subordinates or employees who have a high entrepreneurial mental attitude, will always perform their tasks and job oriented toward empowering, the principles of partnership, functionalization in organization and democratization.
The results shows that both simultaneously and partially, the five independent variables of entrepreneurial mental attitude namely:
