Abstract

This study examines the influence of the Agile Smart Governance (ASG) model on Public Value Smart City (PVSC) through Digital Service Interoperability (DSI) mediation in Yogyakarta City Government. Using a quantitative explanatory approach with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), data were collected from 243 civil servants (ASN) directly involved in digital service management. The results confirm that ASG has a dominant and significant influence on DSI (β = 0.884; T = 35.042; p = 0.000), ASG directly influences PVSC (β = 0.202; T = 2.104; p = 0.035), and DSI strongly influences PVSC (β = 0.643; T = 7.431; p = 0.000). DSI partially mediates the ASG-PVSC relationship with an indirect coefficient of 0.568, representing 73.8% of total ASG effect on PVSC. The model demonstrates high predictive power (R² ILD = 0.781; R² PVSC = 0.684). These findings confirm that governance capability, not technology, is the primary determinant of digital public value creation in smart city contexts. The study contributes a middle-range theory integrating agile governance, digital interoperability, and public value frameworks applicable to Indonesian local governments.
