摘要：Do men and women carry out the same jobs differently? Based on a unique data set from six different Danish public occupations and building on sociological and neurological gender studies together with institutionalism and studies on individual diversity in street-level bureaucrats' behavior, the article argues and empirically demonstrates how the gender of public employees affects their behavior, but that the effect is conditioned by the regulative institutions of the specific task. Next, the ...

摘要：This article examines a process, namely person-organization (P-O) fit, through which public service motivation (PSM) affects work-related stress, quit intentions, and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). Using a sample of 671 professionals in the Egyptian higher education and health sectors, a mediation model is outlined and tested empirically using structural equation modeling. Our results show that PSM positively affected P-O fit, which in turn had significant positive associations w...

摘要：Using a nationally representative survey, this article examines how citizen satisfaction with one public institution, public schools, is shaped by normative expectations regarding what goals schools ought to pursue. We expand extant literature on the role of expectations in shaping satisfaction, which typically focuses on performance expectations, by exploring goal expectations. Using a constant sum allocation exercise, we find that individuals typically express one of two distinct preferences...

摘要：A broad range of procedural mechanisms designed to promote public involvement in regulatory decision making have been instituted at all levels of government. Depending upon the literature one consults, one could conclude that these procedures (1) enhance regulatory stringency by fostering access by previously underrepresented groups, (2) reduce regulatory stringency by institutionalizing access by regulated industries, (3) could either increase or decrease stringency depending on the relative ...

摘要：Scholars have long argued clear organizational goals enhance performance whereas ambiguous goals diminish it. Yet, such arguments often overlook the beneficial aspects of ambiguous goals. Therefore, this study proposes and tests a new goal taxonomy that examines the dynamic, mixed effects of goal ambiguity on employees in public organizations. The taxonomy proposed accounts for varying degrees of goal ambiguity and political support. It also considers how different combinations of political su...

摘要：Communication networks among responders are critical to effective coordination and information transfer across agencies active in a disaster response. Using the theory of embeddedness, we investigate how aspects of relational and institutional embeddedness influence the emergence and efficacy of interactions among responding agencies using network data from three significant wildfire events in the wildland/urban interface. For this study, relational embeddedness is investigated as the degree o...

摘要：Much of the bureaucratic literature suggests that, when staffing the bureaucracy, executives want agents who are both responsive to their political needs and possess the competence needed to fulfill their directives. However, institutional barriers-such as the requirement for legislative confirmation-exist that may make pursuing a strategy of responsive competence difficult, if not impossible. Here, I examine a model of bureaucratic appointments that allows for informationally imperfect agenci...

摘要：We develop a theory of the effect of top management succession on the performance of public organizations. The theory is rooted in the fundamental characteristics of an organization's publicness: ownership, funding, and regulation. We construct the concept of publicness fit-the match between the organization and the leader's previous managerial experience. We argue that the effect of publicness fit on performance depends on the balance of adaptation benefits and disruption costs, which in turn...
