  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...
• In the eye of the storm: Frontline supervisors and federal agency performance AI翻译
  作者：Brewer, GA
  作者单位：University System of Georgia; University of Georgia
  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...

• Diversity, representation, and performance: Evidence about race and ethnicity in public organizations AI翻译
  作者：Pitts, DW
  作者单位：University System of Georgia; Georgia State University
  摘要：In the past twenty years, the growing percentages of racial and ethnic minorities in the United States have led scholars to pay increased attention to the issue of diversity. However, very little research using the public organization as the unit of analysis has sought to understand the true impact of workforce diversity on work-related outcomes. This study seeks to understand the impact of one type of diversity-race and ethnicity-on organizational outcomes in public education. Using data from...

• 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...
• Representative bureaucracy, organizational strategy, and public service performance: An empirical analysis of English local government AI翻译
  作者：Andrews, R; Boyne, GA; Meier, KJ; O'Toole, LJ; Walker, RM
  作者单位：Cardiff University; Texas A&M University System; Texas A&M University College Station; University System of Georgia; University of Georgia; University of Hong Kong
  摘要：The theory of representative bureaucracy suggests that organizations perform better if their workforces reflect the characteristics of their constituent populations. The management literature implies that the impact of representative bureaucracy is contingent on organizational strategy. Our empirical evidence on English local government is inconsistent with the basic theory of representative bureaucracy but supports a moderating effect of organizational strategy. Representative bureaucracy is ...
