摘要：The article argues that recent decades of administrative policy and reform have led to the emergence of a late modern technocracy, defined by the intersecting ideas and principles of connective governance, risk management, and performance management. Connectivity, risk, and performance have remained consistent concerns across the various market-based and/or network-based alternatives to bureaucracy found in New Public Management (NPM) and post-NPM reforms. In contrast to the image of a flexibl...

摘要：In this article we evaluate the relationship between political control and bureaucratic performance using information requested by researchers via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and Congress via congressional committee requests. The information requested was the same, and the timing of requests was similar. We find modest evidence of a relationship between agency politicization and a lack of responsiveness to requests for information from the public and Congress. Politicized agenci...

摘要：Delegation of administrative authority is commonly thought to involve a tradeoff between the discretion necessary for bureaucratic effectiveness and democratic responsiveness. In many contexts, however, discretion and responsiveness go hand-in-hand: Street-level bureaucrats may adapt their behavior to accommodate local norms and values, even when implementing the identical statutory language. I argue that this type of bureaucratic adaptation can explain local variation in participation rates i...

摘要：Ethics commissions address policies that are external to the policy maker, the enforcement of which may be damaging to the policymaker. Given this potential for harm it is likely that delegation to commissions is transactional with elected officials controlling autonomy based on a set of specific goals. The author tests this argument by examining how executive and legislative control of a commission's autonomy impacts the effectiveness of a commission's oversight. Findings suggest that elected...

摘要：In this article, I explore the determinants of frontline service organizations' support for and implementation of social policy reforms in the context of the US national health care reform. Ascribing to theories of inter-organizational collaboration, I argue that local service organizations, as the frontline agents of policy changes, develop their policy preferences and implementation activities in accordance with the collaborative networks, in which they situated. Network participation reduce...

摘要：Public service motivation (PSM) has emerged as a central construct in the public administration literature and understanding its correlates has been a key issue. However, despite the large literature into the correlates of PSM, there is great disparity in findings, which precludes the ability to draw firm conclusions. To address this issue, we conducted a meta-analytic review of the organizational correlates of PSM. Our analysis included correlations derived from 46 studies and 48 independent ...
