  摘要：Collaborative governance has emerged as a popular approach to address complex governance problems. In recent years, research within this tradition has studied the linkage between outputs-agreed upon courses of action and outcomes-and the impacts of those actions. Yet, collaborative arrangements (collaboratives) are likely to vary depending on their context and policy domain, making it difficult to draw generalizable insights about the linkage between outputs and outcomes. Furthermore, as colla...
• When Tensions Become Opportunities: Managing Accountability Demands in Collaborative Governance AI翻译
  作者：Lee, Seulki
  作者单位：Singapore Management University
  摘要：Accountability in collaborative governance comprises a tangled web of vertical and horizontal accountability relationships. Although different accountability mechanisms are apparently complementary, they also clash with each other, producing serious accountability tensions. This study explores how actors in collaborative governance experience and manage conflicting accountability demands in the context of a Korean interorganizational network. Using qualitative data based on in-depth interviews...
• Matching to Categories: Learning and Compliance Costs in Administrative Processes AI翻译
  作者：Moynihan, Donald; Giannella, Eric; Herd, Pamela; Sutherland, Julie

  摘要：A perennial task for the state is the creation and policing of categories. State-created categories have real world impacts on the public. The consequences of racial categorizations, for example, are well-documented. We examine a less studied consequence of state categorization, which are the administrative burdens created when individuals attempt to match themselves to state-created categories. Matching requires time and effort, and failure to match to an advantageous category can mean a loss...
• Individual Agency in Street-Level Bureaucrats' Implementation of Policy Reforms: The Role of Their Policy Evaluation and Self-efficacy AI翻译
  作者：Winter, Soren C.; Mikkelsen, Maria Falk; Skov, Peter Rohde
  摘要：This paper develops and tests a parsimonious micro-theory of street-level bureaucrats' individual implementation behavior. By systemizing and synthesizing theoretical insights from Ajzen's theory of planned behavior, from Bandura's theory of perceived self-efficacy, and from implementation literature, we claim that street-level bureaucrats' policy implementation behavior is a function of their individual evaluation of the efficacy of the policy and of their own ability to implement the policy ...
• Resisting or Facilitating Change? How Street-Level Managers' Situational Work Contributes to the Implementation of Public Reforms AI翻译
  作者：Klemsdal, Lars; Andreassen, Tone Alm; Breit, Eric
  作者单位：University of Oslo; Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet); BI Norwegian Business School
  摘要：Managers of street-level organizations play an important role in the successful implementation of public reforms. A prevailing view within the public administration literature is that this work involves the adaptation between reforms and local contexts, where divergence is viewed as a form of resistance to change. The article challenges this prevalent reform-centric view by introducing a situation-centric perspective and coining the concept of situational work as a significant form of manageri...
• The Enduring Role of Sector: Citizen Preferences in Mixed Markets AI翻译
  作者：Witesman, Eva M.; Silvia, Chris; Child, Curtis
  作者单位：Brigham Young University; Brigham Young University
  摘要：What role does sector play in citizens' perceptions of products or services in mixed-market settings? Where governments compete with for-profit and nonprofit vendors, or when governments partner or contract with private-sector providers, do the public and nonprofit sectors have an advantage over for-profit providers? Do the public and nonprofit sectors have an advantage over for-profit providers? Using choice-based conjoint analysis with a nationally representative paid consumer panel, we exam...
• Representative Bureaucracy and Organizational Justice in Mediation AI翻译
  作者：Hibbard, Patrick F.; Amsler, Lisa Blomgren; Jackman, Michael Scott
  作者单位：Oregon Social Learning Center; Indiana University System; Indiana University Bloomington
  摘要：Studies of representative bureaucracy (RB) argue public organizations reflective of the public they serve exhibit better outcomes, especially when serving underrepresented groups. RB theory attributes improved outcomes either to the actions representative bureaucrats take (active representation), or a greater perception of trust and legitimacy toward them by service recipients (symbolic representation), largely treating active and symbolic representation as separate phenomena. We explore the i...
• Linking Organizational Capacity and Performance: The Case of Probation and Medicaid Reform in California Counties AI翻译
  作者：Koerner, Aeric A. H.; Johnston, Jocelyn M.
  作者单位：American University
  摘要：This article examines whether and how the capacity of a street-level organization moderates its ability to perform effectively in the context of a public program reform. We use the case of California probation departments during the phased implementation of the state's Low-Income Health Program, a major Medicaid reform that offered critical new services for many probation citizens/clients, namely, mental health and substance abuse treatment. We exploit six years of monthly California county-le...
• The Dynamics of Sources of Knowledge on the Nature of Innovation in the Public Sector: Understanding Incremental and Transformative Innovations in Local Governments AI翻译
  作者：Zambrano-Gutierrez, Julio C.; Puppim de Oliveira, Jose A.
  作者单位：Getulio Vargas Foundation; Getulio Vargas Foundation; Technical University of Munich
  摘要：Understanding the effects of different sources of knowledge acquisition in public organizations has become widely promoted for overcoming sociotechnical challenges through innovation. This study divided the sources of knowledge into external and internal learning mechanisms to assess their divergent effects on incremental and transformative innovations in 82 local governments involved in green and blue infrastructure projects. First, the study tests whether more diverse external sources of kno...
• The Forest Ranger (and the Legislator): How Local Congressional Politics Shape Policy Implementation in Agency Field Offices AI翻译

  摘要：Research on political control over government bureaucracy has primarily focused on direct exercises of power such as appointments, funding, agency design, and procedural rules. In this analysis, we extend this literature to consider politicians who leverage their institutional standing to influence the decisions of local field officials over whom they have no explicit authority. Using the case of the US Forest Service (USFS), we investigate whether field-level decisions are associated with the...
