The Influence of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) Implementation on the Youth Information and Counseling Centers (PIK-Remaja) Effectiveness in Surakarta

Abstract

This research focuses on the influence of implementing Good Corporate Governance (GCG) on the effectiveness of the Youth Information and Counseling Center in Surakarta. The aim is to understand more deeply the relationship between aspects of GCG and the effectiveness of the PIK-Remaja organization. The research was conducted in several areas in Surakarta, including Serengan, Banjarsari, Jebres, Pasar Kliwon, and Laweyan. This research uses quantitative methods by collecting primary data through interviews using questionnaires. The results show that aspects of GCG such as transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness have a significant influence on organizational effectiveness. These findings underscore the criticality of imbuing robust governance protocols within PIK-Remaja's operational framework to augment its efficacy in catering to the needs of the youth demographic across Surakarta. Consequently, the implications extend beyond organizational realms, permeating policymaking spheres and stakeholder engagement strategies, thereby fostering a conducive environment for nurturing youth-centric initiatives anchored in sound governance principles to flourish and yield profound societal dividends
