Models of field administration and its contribution to future research agenda: A systematic literature review

Abstract

This study aims to review the concept of field administration as it exists and is applied in the current government of a nation-state. Therefore, the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach is appropriate for this study. As a methodological process, this study uses the PRISMA framework by establishing a protocol in the form of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of this study successfully identified aspects that influence the form and model of field administration implementation in a country and presented recommendations for future research related to the transition of the shift in the field administration model from Fragmented Field Administration (FFA) to Integrated Field Administration (IFA), or vice versa, including the shift from the Integrated Prefectural System to the Unintegrated Prefectural System.
