  摘要：Public administration finds itself in an era of government by performance management, which is reflected in the widespread assumption that management is a key determinant of performance, and that it is reasonable to expect managers to measurably improve organizational effectiveness. This article joins a growing literature in seeking to conceptualize and empirically test how external environmental influences and internal management factors combine to create performance, relying on data from the...
• Individual-level factors and organizational performance in government organizations AI翻译
  作者：Kim, S
  摘要：in this journal, Rainey and Steinbauer proposed a theory of effective government organizations, and Brewer and Selden conducted an empirical study with data from the 1996 Merit Principles Survey that confirmed most hypothesized relationships in the theoretical model of organizational performance. Following these studies, this study focuses only on the individual-level factors, such as job satisfaction, affective commitment, public service motivation, and organizational citizenship behavior. It...

  摘要：Observations that government organizations have particularly high levels of organizational goal ambiguity, and that this goal ambiguity has major influences on their other characteristics, abound in the literature on public bureaucracy. Few researchers, however, have developed quantified measures of goal ambiguity and tested these frequent assertions with large samples of government organizations. We develop measures of four dimensions of goal ambiguity: mission comprehension ambiguity, direct...
• Best practices research: A methodological guide for the perplexed AI翻译
  作者：Bretschneider, S; Marc-Aurele, FL Jr; Wu, J
  作者单位：Syracuse University
  摘要：Like many applied fields, public administration has a long-running love affair with the idea of best practices research. Although occasional reviews and critical examinations of approaches to best practices research have appeared in the literature (Overman and Boyd 1994), very little critical examination and reflection have been devoted to core methodological issues surrounding such work. The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we critically examine the underlying assumptions associated...
• Multiple public service performance indicators: Toward an integrated statistical approach AI翻译
  作者：Martin, S; Smith, PC
  作者单位：University of York - UK
  摘要：Public service organizations usually produce multiple outputs, measured on different scales, giving rise to a suite of performance indicators. The traditional approach to statistical analysis of organizational performance has been to develop a separate regression model for each performance indicator. This piecemeal approach, the article argues, may discard valuable information, as it ignores potentially important relationships between individual performance measures. We therefore propose model...
• Red tape and public employees: Does perceived rule dysfunction alienate managers? AI翻译
  作者：DeHart-Davis, L; Pandey, SK

  摘要：This study explores the relationship between organizational red tape and work alienation. While bureaucratic controls have long been considered sources of worker detachment, the relationship between red tape and managerial alienation has not been explicitly tested. When managers encounter rules, regulations, or procedures that seem pointless yet burdensome, these encounters may simultaneously trigger the key psychological ingredients of alienation-powerlessness and meaninglessness. These in tu...
• The evolution of dyadic interorganizational relationships in a network of publicly funded nonprofit agencies AI翻译
  作者：Isett, KR; Provan, KG
  作者单位：Columbia University; University of Arizona
  摘要：This article addresses a gap in the extant literature on networks by assessing how interorganizational relationships evolve in a public sector network setting. The context for the research was a network of publicly funded health and human service agencies involved in service delivery to people with serious mental illness. Longitudinal data were collected from a single community. The analysis suggests that public and nonprofit sector relationships evolve differently than private sector partners...
