Abstract
This study analyzes the relationship between the characteristics of the regional head towards the level of responsiveness in completing the recommendations of the examination results. The characteristics used in this study were age, education level, educational background, bureaucratic experience and entrepreneurial experience. This study also examined the effect of the level of responsiveness in completing recommendations on the results of examinations on performance using the EKPPD score. This study used purposive sampling, with samples used were 314 districts/cities in Indonesia in 2014-2016. The results of the study prove that the characteristics of the regional head seen from age, education level, educational background, bureaucratic experience and entrepreneurial experience have no influence on the level of regional responsiveness in completing the recommendations of the examination results. This study did not succeed in proving a positive relationship between the level of responsiveness of completion of recommendations to performance, but instead found a negative influence between the level of regional responsiveness in completing the results of the examination recommendations on the performance of local governments.
