The Effect of Communication and Resource on Policy Implementation: Empirical Study from Indonesia

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of two key factors, namely communication and resources, on policy implementation in the educational environment. The main objective of the research is to examine the impact of communication and resources on policy implementation, with a specific emphasis on the moderating role of resources in the relationship between communication and policy implementation. The method utilized in this research is partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), analyzing data from 324 research samples obtained from 9 schools in Indonesia. The research results indicate that communication has a significant and positive influence on policy implementation, while resources do not have a significant positive impact on policy implementation. A more interesting finding is that resources cannot enhance the positive influence between communication and policy implementation. This finding contributes significantly to our understanding of the complexity of factors influencing policy implementation in the educational environment, particularly from the interaction perspective between communication and resources. The implications of this research can form the basis for the formulation of more effective and contextual policy strategies in the future.
