IGCESH2018 Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru, Malaysia 13 -15 August 2018 THE EFFECT OF LOCAL ORIGINAL REVENUES, SPECIAL ALLOCATION FUNDS, GENERAL ALLOCATION FUNDS ON THE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT QUALITY AND THE MEDIATING ROLE OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURE IN REGENCY AND CITIES IN SOUTH KALIMANTAN PROVINCE – INDONESIA Akhmad Yafiz Syam* 1, Fahmi Rizani 2, Lisandri 3 , Muhammad Maladi4 1,3,4 Accounting Department, Stie Indonesia Banjarmasin, Banjarmasin, INDONESIA (E-mail: [email protected]) 2 Economic and Business Faculty, Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarmasin, INDONESIA (E-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT This study aims to examine and analyze how local original revenue, special allocation funds, and general allocation funds affect the quality of human development through the role of mediation of capital expenditures in Regency/ Cities in South Kalimantan Province Indonesia. The important contribution of this study is to provide a different perspective, to see the government's financial performance for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) in the context of the quality of human development in the region. Based on the results of the structural equation model (SEM) test, it was found that role of capital expenditure significantly mediating for the quality of human development, except between the general allocation fund and the quality of human development. This indicates ineffective local government performance in utilizing transfer funds for the development of human quality. Key words: local original revenue, special allocation fund, general allocation fund, capital expenditure, human development quality. INTRODUCTION The Paradigm of New Public Management (NPM) has influenced the process of changing public sector organizations comprehensively in almost all part of the world. The emphasis of NPM movement is on the implementation of decentralization, devolution, and modernization of public service delivery [1]. The NPM is the concept of public awareness in the form of autonomy, performance-based budgeting, productivity, efficiency and effectiveness of public services [2], and oriented towards good governance and sustainable development [3-8]. The ability of a region to explore local original revenue depends on the ability of the region to develop creativity and innovation which will affect the quality of governance and services in the public sector, and the allocation together with special allocation fund and general allocation fund in capital expenditures to meet the demands of development on facilities and i n f r a s t r u c t u r e s [ 9 ] ; [ 1 0 ] . T h i s s t u d y a i m s t o e x a m i n e a n d a n a l y z e h o w regional original income, special allocation funds, and general allocation funds affect on the quality of human development through the role of mediation of capital expenditures in the Regency/Cities in SOCIAL SCIENCE 899 South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The contribution of this study primarily provides a different perspective in viewing the financial performance of local governments in their role towards sustainable development goals (SDG's) in the context of human development quality in South Kalimantan. MAIN RESULTS Based on SEM-PLS test concluded that the three main indicators of quality and suitability of the model have met the criteria. The value of Average path coefficient (APC) = 0.221, P = 0.004, means significant at 0.05 and Average R-squared (ARS) = 0.295, P <0.001, indicating significant determinant coefficient at the 0.001 significance level. While the Average block VIF (AVIF) = 1.537, it means acceptable because it meets the criteria are under 5. Similarly, the value of GoF (goodness of fit) 0,544, including the category large> = 0.36. this suggests that the proposed model is supported by relevant and reliable data. Table 1.

Based on the analysis with the VAF method above, it was found that capital expenditure can act as partial mediation between local original revenue (LOR) and human development (HDI), special allocation funds (SAF) and human development (HDI) influence, but mediating between general allocation funds (GAF) to HDI is stated almost no role of mediation [11];[12]. CONCLUSION One measure of the quality of good government spending is the proportion of larger capital expenditure allocations for overall local spending. The allocation of capital expenditure is aimed at building infrastructure that impacts on the improvement of public services, which in the long run improves the welfare and quality of human development. Based on the results of the SEM-PLS model test, it was found that capital expenditure significantly had a role as partials mediation of effect local original revenue, special allocation fund on quality of human development, but not significantly mediated between general allocation fund on quality of human development. This shows that general allocation fund is greater allocated for government financing or operational expenditure, non-capital expenditures. The high allocation of operational expenditures and other expenditures also indicates ineffective local SOCIAL SCIENCE 900 government performance in utilizing transfer funds for the development of human quality. In this regard, it is recommended to pay more attention to the absorption of the general allocation fund budget to the allocation of capital expenditures, especially spending for education, health, environmental services and empowerment programs that encourage local productivity, to ensure the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDG's).
