Local decision-making within the concept of governance in Jordan

Present study determines how public policy is made at local level in the country's public sector. The primary data was gathered in the form of questionnaire responses from 281 randomly selected personnel working in local administration within the Kingdom of Jordan's public sector. The findings indicate that there are various actors involved in the public policy process in Jordan. These actors include local councils, municipal councils, governorate councils and executive councils as well as citizens, local donors, foreign aid, and civil society organisations. Furthermore, inflexibility, mystery, unresponsiveness, and centralisation are the most common characteristics that overwhelmingly dominate local planning in Jordan. The existence of the effect is statistically significant at the level of significance = (α ≤ 0.05) for the actors' roles (local citizens, local donors, foreign aid, and civil society organisation) related to roles affecting local decisions-making.
