摘要：This study examines the relation between executive succession and corporate capacity. Drawing on theory on executive succession, it is argued that corporate capacity is likely to increase following succession as new executives need early support to succeed in the job. The effect of succession is expected to decrease over time as the new executive settles in. These effects are expected to be most pronounced following outside successions. My expectations are tested in a longitudinal study of exe...

The results suggest that although public involvement can improve support from citizens and political leaders for PPPs and improve the tailoring of project designs to local conditions, the proce...

However, the factors that influence the assignment of these functions to specific government agencies or departments are understudied, particularly at the local level. The absence of empirical evidence regarding bureaucratic assignment in local government limits understanding of institutional d...

摘要：Performance is perhaps the most central concept in public administration research, and this article discusses theoretically and investigates empirically how we can obtain more consistent performance measures. Theoretically, we combine existing arguments in public administration with institutional theory and the sociology of professions. Empirically, we ask whether different measures of individual performance produce different results. The investigated performance measures vary with regard to r...
