The Influence of Knowledge Development on Good University Governance in Indonesian Universities

Abstract : The implementation of Good University Governance (GUG) is anticipated to enhance transparency, accountability, university performance, and elevate the competitiveness of universities to international levels. Despite these expectations, the current implementation of GUG in Indonesia falls short. This research specifically focuses on examining the impact of Knowledge Development (KD) on GUG in public universities in Indonesia, utilizing the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. The study population comprises public universities in Indonesia under the Directorate General of Higher Education of Indonesia (DIKTI). The sampling method employed is cluster sampling. The collected data are processed using SPSS for descriptive analytics and SmartPLS. The results indicate a positive and significant effect of KD on GUG. In essence, these findings align with the RBV theory, asserting that university capabilities contribute to enhancing overall university performance. Additionally, suggestions have been proposed for future research to expand the study’s scope by investigating other variables that may potentially influence Good University Governance (GUG) and university performance.
