Research Methods: This research adopts a quantitative approach with an explanatory design to conduct hypothesis testing, aiming either to strengthen or to reject existing theories and prior research hypotheses. In addition, this paper provides an outline of the research methods and the data employed in the study. The research population as a collection of all units of analysis in this research includes all 118 in Public universities Indonesia. Thus, it can be stated that the total population and sample used is 118 State University entities, consisting of Legal Entity Universities, Public Service Agency Universities, and Work Unit Universities.
