Apakah Efektivitas Pemerintah Dan Transparansi Anggaran Memengaruhi Pekerjaan Layak Dan Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Secara Global?

This study examines whether government effectiveness and budget
transparency affect the achievement of Sustainable Development
Goal 8 (SDG 8), which focuses on promoting decent work and
sustainable economic growth across countries. Drawing on public
financial governance and good governance perspectives, this study
employs a quantitative approach using panel data from 115 United
Nations member states, comprising 442 observations over the period
2017–2023. Government effectiveness is measured using the
Worldwide Governance Indicators, while budget transparency is
captured through the Open Budget Survey, with the natural
logarithm of GDP included as a control variable. Panel regression
techniques are applied to ensure consistency with the cross-country
and time-series structure of the data. The results indicate that
government effectiveness and budget transparency have positive and
statistically significant effects on the achievement of SDG 8. These
findings highlight the importance of transparent budgeting practices
and effective public sector governance in improving resource
allocation efficiency and supporting labor market and economic
growth outcomes. This study contributes to the accounting and
public sector literature by providing cross-country empirical
evidence on the role of public financial governance in advancing
sustainable development outcomes related to decent work and
economic growth.
