  摘要：This study investigates the determinants of local governments' decisions to privatize public nursing homes. According to the Online Survey, Certification, and Reporting (OSCAR) 2004 data, more than 100 counties in the United States have recently divested their nursing facilities through change of ownership to nonprofit or for profit or through termination. The theoretical model used in this study proposes four broad categories of antecedents of the privatization decision: market failure, gover...

  摘要：This article examines the interaction between bureaucratic red tape and intranet usage in state human service agencies. We propose a sociotechnical model for the relationship between intranet usage and bureaucratic red tape that takes into account the complexities of causal linkages including bidirectional causal relationships and a range of internal and external influences. This model is tested with data from the National Administrative Studies Project, Phase II. While we are not able to corr...
• Performance targets and public service improvement AI翻译

  摘要：Theories of rational planning suggest that organizational performance improves if targets for future achievements are set. We test this proposition using panel data for 147 English local education authorities between 1998 and 2003. The dependent variables in the analysis are exam results for school pupils. We find that, controlling for other variables, the extent of performance improvement is influenced positively by the presence of a target. Thus, the results are consistent with the view that...
• Toward a relevant agenda for a responsive public administration AI翻译

  摘要：The relevance of the concept bureaucratic responsiveness has been questioned in recent years. One reason for the questioned relevance is the apparent environmental changes that are occurring in public administration. Globalization and devolution have infiltrated the halls of bureaucracies. Public agencies are being asked to collaborate with actors in other sectors of society, including, and especially, citizens and citizen associations. In addition to these environmental changes, administrator...
• Resource tangibility and patterns of interaction in a publicly funded health and human services network AI翻译

  摘要：This article examines a publicly funded mental health services network, focusing on the patterns of interaction in five resource-based subnetworks. We argue that the structure of network relationships can be explained by the nature of the resources that are at the source of the interaction. Depending on whether a particular resource is tangible or tacit, subnetwork structures will differ in predictable ways. We found that the pattern of interactions among network organizations in resource-base...
• Strategic management and the performance of public organizations: Testing venerable ideas against recent theories AI翻译

  摘要：Miles and Snow, among others, argue that strategy content is an important influence on organizational performance. Their typology, applied recently to public organizations in the United Kingdom, divides strategic actors into four general types: prospectors, defenders, analyzers, and reactors. This article begins by integrating work on strategy content or strategic management into the O'Toole-Meier formal theory of public management. This study shows that strategy content is a subset of general...
