Pemanfaatan sistem algoritmik dalam pelayanan publik digital memunculkan persoalan mendasar mengenai transparansi, akuntabilitas, keadilan prosedural, dan kepercayaan warga, khususnya ketika keputusan otomatis maupun keputusan yang dibantu algoritma memengaruhi akses masyarakat terhadap pelayanan publik. Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh dua dimensi transparansi algoritmik, yaitu accessibility dan explainability, terhadap kepercayaan pada algoritma, kepercayaan pada aparatur publik, persepsi akuntabilitas algoritmik, dan keadilan prosedural dalam konteks pelayanan publik digital di Kota Bandung. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan behavioral public administration melalui dua eksperimen survei berbasis skenario dengan desain faktorial 2 × 2 yang memanipulasi tingkat accessibility rendah–tinggi dan explainability rendah–tinggi pada konteks keputusan berdiskresi rendah dan tinggi. Karena belum tersedia data lapangan aktual, naskah demonstratif ini menggunakan reconstructed pilot/simulated experimental dataset yang terdiri atas 960 profil partisipan sintetis dan 1.920 observasi skenario. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pada keputusan berdiskresi rendah, explainability meningkatkan kepercayaan pada algoritma secara signifikan (B = 0,559; p < 0,001), sedangkan accessibility tidak memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap kepercayaan algoritmik. Namun, kedua dimensi transparansi secara signifikan meningkatkan persepsi akuntabilitas dan keadilan prosedural. Pada keputusan berdiskresi tinggi, accessibility (B = 0,422; p < 0,001) dan explainability (B = 0,418; p < 0,001) sama-sama meningkatkan kepercayaan pada algoritma, sedangkan explainability juga meningkatkan kepercayaan terhadap aparatur. Efek paling kuat ditemukan pada persepsi akuntabilitas. Analisis lintas konteks menunjukkan bahwa nilai tambah accessibility semakin penting ketika tingkat diskresi meningkat, sementara pengaruh explainability relatif konsisten. Keadilan prosedural juga memediasi sebagian hubungan antara transparansi dan akuntabilitas. Temuan menegaskan bahwa tata kelola algoritmik yang akuntabel membutuhkan kombinasi akses audit, penjelasan yang dapat dipahami, answerability, contestability, pengawasan manusia, koreksi data, dan mekanisme pemulihan.
