Daftar Isi:
  • This paper presents the experiences of women leaderships in Indonesian Public Service. More especially, it is concerned with the type of leadership that is practiced by women leaders after they have succeeded gaining power and legitimation as a mayor and a regent. This paper is based on an on-going two years research that is focused on women leadership and innovations in East Java, Indonesia (2019-2020). The research is driven by the increasing number of women elected as mayors or regents in East Java. Using qualitative descriptive study involving observation, analysis of document and interviews with 50 informants; this research reveals the success and the challenges that arise from women leaderships in two local governments in East Java, following the victory of five female candidates as mayor and regent in East Java. This research highlights some interesting, but often difficult platforms for women leaders to be professional, effective, efficient and 'clean' (uncorrupted) leaders. That is, being a good, professional, effective, efficient and 'clean' leader in Indonesia; one often has to face uneasy challenges. Ultimately, this research leads to a significant inquiry into what constitute good women leadership specifically, and the future generation of leaders in Indonesian public service, more generally.
