  摘要：Despite the growing importance of public management reform around the world, relatively little scholarship evaluates the contributions of public management to government performance, that is, to the character and consequences of service provision by public agencies. One study (Hill and Lynn 2005) evaluated over eight hundred American empirical studies that address issues of public management effectiveness in a wide variety of fields, subfields, and disciplines. In this article we employ the an...

  摘要：In spite of numerous observations that government organizations have high levels of organizational goal ambiguity that exert major influences on their other characteristics, few researchers have measured goal ambiguity and tested these frequent assertions. In previous research, we developed measures of four dimensions of goal ambiguity: mission comprehension ambiguity, directive goal ambiguity, evaluative goal ambiguity, and priority goal ambiguity. Confirming hypotheses developed from the lit...
• The effects of managerial succession on organizational performance AI翻译

  摘要：Boyne and Dahya (2002) posit that the means, motives, and opportunities available to top managers will affect their ability to impact organizational performance. In this analysis, I test the theory posited by Boyne and Dahya and expand the model by exploring whether the performance effects of executive succession differ between an internal promotion and an external hire. Using Texas school superintendents as the managers in question, I use pooled, time-series data to test both the immediate an...

  摘要：Although a vast literature explores government contracting out for the delivery of publicly financed services, comparatively little of this analysis, whether descriptive or explanatory, focuses on the American states. Accordingly, the present research has two primary goals. It first examines the extent of contracting out by state agencies and the perceived effects of this activity on the quality and costs of service delivery. The second aim is to develop a model of contracting out by state age...

  摘要：This study examines the role of frontline supervisors in the twenty-two largest federal agencies and explores their contributions to organizational performance and effectiveness. Specifically, this study develops a measure of federal agency performance and tests a hybrid model that predicts it. Several research questions on the nature and importance of supervisory management are tested within this framework. Data for the study come from the 2000 Merit Principles Survey, U.S. Merit Systems Prot...

• Developing and testing an integrative framework of public sector leadership: Evidence from the public education arena AI翻译
  作者：Fernandez, S
  作者单位：Indiana University System; Indiana University Bloomington
  摘要：In an effort to bring some order to the leadership literature and integrate existing knowledge on the topic of leadership, some scholars have begun to develop integrative frameworks of leadership. Integrative frameworks incorporate leadership skills, traits, behaviors, and styles and situational variables in a single theoretical model to explain a leader's influence on performance. This study advances that line of research by developing an integrative framework of public sector leadership and ...
