  摘要：This article is positioned at the confluence of two literatures that deal with policy implementation and intergovernmental relations. We specifically seek to answer the following question: what contextual, attitudinal, and administrative characteristics explain higher level(s) of perceived welfare reform accomplishments in implementing welfare reform in the local setting? We examine county officials' perceived achievement of the primary and secondary policy objectives of welfare reform in Nort...
• Managing uncertainty: The bias and efficiency of federal macroeconomic forecasts AI翻译
  作者：Corder, JK

  摘要：Several federal agencies generate forecasts of future economic performance. How accurate are these projections? The article compares actual and projected outcomes for four macroeconomic indicators across three federal agencies. The bias and efficiency of the forecasts are estimated using tests drawn from the macroeconomic literature on private forecast performance, and some alternative explanations for observed bias are considered. The tests indicate that many of the short-term forecasts are u...
• Street-level bureaucrats and intrastate variation in the implementation of temporary assistance for needy families policies AI翻译

  摘要：This article examines the impact of street-level bureaucrats on the implementation of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families policies in the State of Michigan. Michigan's welfare programs are highly centralized, leaving counties very little formal discretion to run their programs. The formal signals sent by Michigan officials around welfare reform revolve around work first-immediate job placement over human capital investment. In a two-step analysis, including Analysis of Variance techniques,...

  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...
• Red tape and public employees: Does perceived rule dysfunction alienate managers? AI翻译

  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...
