In the context of closed-door, elite policymaking groups, interpretive politics shapes the thinking of both group members and the wider community of stakeholders.

摘要：Studies of moral reasoning in public administration have used James Rest's Defining Issues Test (DIT) and the Stewart-Sprinthall Management Survey (SSMS), both derived from Lawrence Kohlberg's work, to assess the moral reasoning of government managers and personnel with disparate results.

摘要：Although public sector organizations have long been seen as driving the institutionalization of business firms and nonprofit organizations, government agencies themselves have only occasionally been studied as subjects of institutional pressures. This research examines whether public sector organizations, when compared with organizations in the business and nonprofit sectors, are more or less as susceptible to mimetic, normative, and coercive pressures. Using data from the National Organizatio...

摘要：Professional judges receive a fixed salary and are largely exempt from effective sanctions. How can management induce judges to perform well in their professional roles?
