• Learning under pressure: The effects of politicization on organizational learning in public bureaucracies AI翻译
  作者：Dekker, S; Hansén, D

  摘要：When things in the public domain go wrong, government bureaucracies usually face increased political scrutiny and strong demands for reform. The need for organizational learning is high under such circumstances. Conventional theories, however, conceive political involvement as a constraint on organizational learning. This implies a paradoxical challenge for public organizations. On the one hand, the need to learn from mistakes is highest in times of political scrutiny; on the other hand, under...

• The role of work context in work motivation: A public sector application of goal and social cognitive theories AI翻译

  摘要：The present study represents a test of a conceptual model predicting how the organization's work context might influence work motivation. Using the framework provided by goal and social cognitive theories, this model of work motivation assesses whether aspects of the organizational work context, such as greater goal conflict, procedural constraints, and goal ambiguity, may have a detrimental effect on work motivation through their influence on three important antecedents of work motivation: jo...
• The devolution revolution in intergovernmental relations in the 1990s: Changes in cooperative and coercive state-national relations as perceived by state administrators AI翻译

  摘要：The devolution revolution was a central issue in American intergovernmental relations in the 1990s. Judgments about the outcomes of intergovernmental policy changes varied among scholars of American federalism. Some argued that intergovernmental relations shifted substantially in the direction of devolution toward the states in the 1990s. Others were skeptical about the existence or degree of devolution during the decade. This essay examines shifts in state-national relations during the 1990s....
• Using multiple informants in public administration: Revisiting the managerial values and actions debate AI翻译
  作者：Walker, RM; Enticott, G
  作者单位：Cardiff University; University of Hong Kong
  摘要：Evidence is presented from a large-n longitudinal survey of multiple informants to address some of the weaknesses of the extant literature, namely the use of elite, recall, and snapshot surveys together with the direction of causality in statistical models. These weaknesses are illustrated through a first time analysis of variations in management reform values and actions in local government. The empirical results indicate that management reform values and actions are contingent and vary betwe...
• Joined-up government in the Western World in comparative perspective: A preliminary literature review and exploration AI翻译
  作者单位：University of Birmingham
  摘要：In many Western countries, policy makers are making greater efforts toward improving horizontal coordination and integration between departments and agencies within government than seemed to be the case in the mid-1980s. Joined up government is a slogan that originated in the United Kingdom but has been widely picked up elsewhere. However, not all countries are joining up, and those that are are not all doing it in the same way. After setting out some basic definitions of terms, several of the...
• Solidary and functional costs: Explaining the presidential appointment contradiction AI翻译

  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Davis; University of Kentucky
  摘要：How is it possible for presidents to secure real influence from political appointees if these individuals spend so little time on the job before leaving government service? Many empirical studies have noted that once appointees have learned how to do their job and have come to trust the civil servants in their agencies, they are ready to leave these posts. Yet this suggests a dysfunctional bureaucratic structure that apparently does not exist, for many studies also tell us that these same poli...
• Public management and organizational performance: The case of law enforcement agencies AI翻译
  作者：Nicholson-Crotty, S; O'Toole, LJ Jr

  摘要：Investigating the impact of management on performance in public organizations is a key challenge for public administration. To that end, we apply to a national sample of law enforcement agencies a recently developed formal model of public management. The model frames a set of specific expectations about the management-performance relationship. The study estimates the impacts of both internally- and externally-oriented managerial activities on a salient metric of law enforcement outcomes. in re...
