Abstract

Since the implementation of decentralization, the quality of public services in Indonesia has not been improving. In this sense, people still face illegal pratices and inefficiency in governmental bureaucracy. The government has tried to resolve the problems by designing faster, cheaper and more transparent services in public services based on ICf or e-government. However, the implementation of c-government had not worked as expected. This is because the lack of competencies or skills of human resources in managing e-government. To handle such problems, based on President Instruction (INPRES) Number 312003, the government tried to improve all of the government staffs quality, and encourage them to utilize the distance learning system through e-learning.
