• A Hermeneutic Approach to Explaining and Understanding Public Controversies AI翻译
  作者：Lejano, Raul P.; Leong, Ching
  作者单位：National University of Singapore
  摘要：Notwithstanding the growing use of interpretive analysis in public administration and policy research, its fullest potential for evaluating intractable public conflict has yet to be tapped. We develop a mode of narrative analysis, partly based upon Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics, that shows promise for analyzing public disputes. We illustrate this with a case study in Los Angeles involving a contentious proposal to inject recycled wastewater into the city's water supply. The analysis reveals that...
• Accountability in Higher Education: Exploring Impacts on State Budgets and Institutional Spending Patterns AI翻译
  作者：Rabovsky, Thomas M.
  作者单位：University of Oklahoma System; University of Oklahoma - Norman
  摘要：In recent years, performance-based accountability regimes have become increasingly prevalent throughout government. One area where this has received considerable attention in recent years is higher education, where many states have adopted funding policies that seek to tie institutional funding to objective measures of performance. To what extent have these policies been effective tools for restructuring financial incentives and exerting influence over administrative behavior? Using data from ...
• The Tangled Web: Unraveling the Principle of Common Goals in Collaborations AI翻译
  作者：Vangen, Siv; Huxham, Chris
  作者单位：Open University - UK; University of Strathclyde
  摘要：This article addresses a goals paradox that suggests that both congruence and diversity in organizations' goals influence success in collaboration. Using extensive empirical data, we develop a framework that portrays goals as an entangled, dynamic, and ambiguously hierarchical web of variously perceived, higher- and lower-level goals that can be characterized across six dimensions: level, origin, authenticity, relevance, content, and overtness. We then explore the paradox in terms of the frame...
• Does My Boss's Gender Matter? Explaining Job Satisfaction and Employee Turnover in the Public Sector AI翻译
  作者：Grissom, Jason A.; Nicholson-Crotty, Jill; Keiser, Lael
  作者单位：Vanderbilt University; University of Missouri System; University of Missouri Columbia
  摘要：Substantial literatures exist examining public personnel turnover and the role of gender in public management. We bring these two strands of research together to test hypotheses concerning the impact of manager gender on the job satisfaction and turnover of public sector workers. In particular, we test whether manager gender influences satisfaction and turnover per se versus the competing claim that gender congruence between managers and employees, regardless of gender, is the relevant constru...
• Public Participation, Procedural Fairness, and Evaluations of Local Governance: The Moderating Role of Uncertainty AI翻译
  作者：Herian, Mitchel N.; Hamm, Joseph A.; Tomkins, Alan J.; Zillig, Lisa M. Pytlik
  作者单位：University of Nebraska System; University of Nebraska Lincoln
  摘要：The purpose of this article is to test whether the use of public participation by a local government increases perceptions of procedural fairness among the public and to propose an explanation for why fairness is a strong predictor of satisfaction with governmental decisions. To do this, we draw on the uncertainty management model to hypothesize that indications of procedural fairness can increase public support for government and its decisions and that fairness effects are greater for individ...
• Keeping the Lights On: How Government Funding Concerns Drive the Advocacy Agendas of Nonprofit Homeless Service Providers AI翻译
  作者：Mosley, Jennifer E.
  作者单位：University of Chicago
  摘要：Human service nonprofits have historically played an important role in advocating on behalf of the vulnerable populations that they serve. Growth in privatization has led many scholars and practitioners to wonder if increased dependence on government funds would compromise this role. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between government funding and advocacy participation, goals, and tactics through a qualitative investigation of advocacy involvement in the field of home...
• What Drives Entrepreneurial Orientation in the Public Sector? Evidence from Germany's Federal Labor Agency AI翻译
  作者：Meynhardt, Timo; Diefenbach, Fabian E.
  作者单位：University of St Gallen
  摘要：Along with the introduction of private sector management tools, public servants are expected to act more entrepreneurially-as public managers. However, research lacks quantitative evidence on what drives entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in this context. Our article examines the antecedents of department-level EO in public sector organizations. By integrating different research streams into one study, we combine partly opposing discourses. This deductive study develops and empirically tests hyp...
• To Trust or Not to Trust? What Matters in Local Government-Vendor Relationships? AI翻译
  作者：Lamothe, Meeyoung; Lamothe, Scott
  作者单位：University of Oklahoma System; University of Oklahoma - Norman
  摘要：Relational contracting or collaborative governance has come to the forefront of scholarly studies of government privatization efforts. The concept of trust (between contracting governments and their vendors) is rising in importance as one of the central tenets of this type of governance. What is largely understudied in the midst of this increasing attention to the topic is identifying how and under what conditions trust is formed and sustained. Borrowing from economic, organizational, sociolog...
