摘要：Despite a resurgence of interest in social equity, citizens' inclusion in public services has attracted limited attention in the public administration literature so far, having often remained in the background of studies focusing on citizens' participation and representative bureaucracy. To fully comprehend and enhance the role of public administration in promoting inclusive public services and building inclusive societies, it is necessary to prioritize citizens' inclusion in public services a...

摘要：Despite the growing number of minority elected officials, extant research has yet to understand if minority political representation improves social equity of budget allocation. This study tests whether having more minority representatives on county legislative bodies is associated with higher government redistributive spending, a key indicator of equitable resource distribution. Drawing on Peterson's (1981) classification of government programs into developmental, redistributive, and allocati...

摘要：Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly being integrated into public sector decision-making processes, with public managers relying on them to enhance their capabilities. As AI adoption becomes more widespread, discussions about its advantages and drawbacks intensify, alongside growing external expectations and pressures. However, the extent to which these pressures influence AI adoption remains unclear. Drawing on institutional theory, we conducted a randomised between-subjects ...

摘要：Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in public decision-making; yet existing governance tools often lack clear definitions of harm and benefit, practical methods for weighing competing values, and guidance for resolving value conflicts. This paper presents a five-step framework that integrates moral philosophy, trustworthy AI principles, and procedural justice into a coherent decision process for public administrators. The framework operationalizes harm and benefit through multidi...

摘要：Many promises have been made about digitalization in the public sector, from its potential to revolutionize government to its emancipating properties as a new conduit for democracy. In this paper, the case of a leading Supreme Audit Institution (SAI), the UK National Audit Office, is examined. SAIs are essential to the ways in which government is managed and held to account. The paper examines the paradox that despite the promises made about digitalization, the digitalization of audit has prog...

摘要：Using a survey experiment approach, we collected responses from 1244 public employees in a Chinese context. This study examines how two types of accountability obligations (horizontal and hierarchical) and two accountability orientations (learning and control) influence public employees' adoption of high-effort coping strategies. The findings reveal that, contrary to conventional expectations, a learning orientation is associated with a decreased intention among public employees to adopt high-...

摘要：A whole community strategy is central to disaster management and community resilience in the United States. However, the specific means by which community-level stakeholders in the private and nonprofit sectors function as partners with government agencies in providing key disaster-related services are currently underexamined. Here, we present unique data assessing one significant community stakeholder category: US universities and colleges. Doing so presents a useful opportunity to examine ho...

摘要：According to existing strategic management literature certain sets of alignments between the content and key elements of strategy enhance organizational performance. While local governments are increasingly adopting strategic approaches to manage digitalization, research that examines such alignments in strategy for digital change is scarce. To introduce such a relational perspective, we develop a framework for analyzing digitalization strategy. We show through a comparative case study that mu...

摘要：Amidst 21st-century climate-related threats, municipal elected officials (EOs) may outsource public services to third parties to avoid the political costs of adopting unpopular sustainability policies-a strategy known as political decoupling. However, decoupling raises accountability concerns and may not improve sustainability, leading some municipalities to recouple services. To help understand the political impacts of these decisions, we assess how public scrutiny toward EOs in US municipali...
