• Microfoundations of Active Representation in Public Bureaucracies: Evidence From a Survey of Personnel Recruitment in the Swiss Federal Civil Service AI翻译

  摘要：This article investigates the link between passive (descriptive) and active (substantive) representation in public bureaucracies. Previous studies on this topic mostly focused on the US context, where race and gender are the most salient aspects of bureaucratic representation. In Switzerland, representation of the various cultural communities in the federal bureaucracy is the most salient issue. Active representation is operationalized as administrators preferences for minority origin, as well...
• Public Goods, Private Partnerships, and Political Institutions AI翻译

  摘要：Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have become an essential vehicle for infrastructure development worldwide. Theoretical arguments primarily focus on build-operate-transfer (BOT) agreements as a canonical form of PPP, though they rarely discuss the political underpinnings of governments decisions to enter such agreements. How does a governments longevity, stability, and its capacity to raise revenue make BOTs more attractive than other types of partnerships? Extending recent theoretical advan...

  摘要：Managing for results (MFR) is a performance management system that decentralizes authority to managers in exchange for greater accountability in performance. Although MFR makes much theoretical sense, the evidence of the effectiveness of MFR has not been as conclusive. In this study, we use panel data methods to examine the impact of a particular MFR reform in New York City, the Empowerment Zone (EZ), which focused on providing city public school principals greater autonomy to improve school o...
• Collaboration, Venus, and Mars: The Gender Factor in Intersectoral Relations AI翻译

  摘要：Scholarship across disciplines offers evidence that gender plays a significant role in organizational dynamics. Gender differences in preferences, attitudes, and behaviors affect employee behavior and organizational outcomes. This article extends the gender factor into the realm of interorganizational and intersectoral collaboration to examine not just whether, but also how gender affects the management of these relationships. We analyze these differences in the context of local government-non...
• Finding the Golden Mean: Country Size and the Performance of National Bureaucracies AI翻译
  作者：Jugl, Marlene

  摘要：This article contributes to the debate on environmental determinants of public service performance by analyzing the effect of country size (population size) on public service effectiveness. It theoretically describes and empirically tests a size-induced trade-off between economies and diseconomies of scale in national bureaucracies. The main argument is that public service performance increases with size due to economies of scale, but it decreases after the optimal country size when bureaucrac...
• Acceptance or Disapproval: Performance Information in the Eyes of Public Frontline Employees AI翻译
  作者：Petersen, Niels Bjrn G.; Laumann, Trine V.; Jakobsen, Morten
  作者单位：Aarhus University
  摘要：Public frontline employees are increasingly exposed to performance information, and their acceptance of this information as a valid, legitimate, and useful foundation for decision-making is central to the success of performance management systems. However, despite this, we know very little about what affects frontline employees acceptance or disapproval of performance information as well as their willingness to take causal responsibility for the information. We contribute to filling this gap b...
• A Behavioral Model of Public Organizations: Bounded Rationality, Performance Feedback, and Negativity Bias AI翻译
  作者：Hong, Sounman

  摘要：In this study, we examine organizational responses to performance management in the public sector by studying Korean public agencies responses to their annual performance feedback. In doing so, we employed a regression discontinuity design that exploits the relationship between performance grades and the numeric inputs that determine the grades to uncover the impact of performance management on performance. Evidence suggests that the social and historical aspirations of public organizations si...
