Introduces the concept of algorithmic formalization, a new form of formalization induced by the adoption of algorithms, which fundamentally alters administrative workflows. Focusing on COMPAS algorithm used in the US judiciary for risk assessment, the paper illustrates how the algorithm se...

摘要:This study provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of four dimensions (editors, editorial board members, authors, and geographical focus of research) of the internationalization of 45 major public administration journals and examines whether and how one dimension is related to the others. We find that Anglo-American dominance is significant and persistent across all four dimensions in most public administration journals during 2011-2020, with the dimension of editors being the most ...

摘要:Understanding how local governments set goals when confronted with conflicting objectives is of crucial importance. Few studies have examined how pilot policies reshape local governments' goal-setting processes. This research takes China's Low-carbon city pilot policy as a case study to analyze how central pilot policy influences the prioritization of local government goals. The analysis yields three key insights: First, the pilot policy induces strategic shifts within local governments, leadi...

摘要:Issues of accountability are ubiquitous in public governance. Accountability connects with other concerns like legitimacy, power, citizen engagement, and new modes of service production. These issues and connections become all the more poignant given the evolving landscape of public services amidst the backdrop of 21st-century poly-crises. The pieces in this special issue explore these dynamics, particularly concerning shifting governing modes, contractual arrangements, performance management,...

摘要:Do the same management practices lead to greater job satisfaction in poorer and richer countries? Despite the centrality of this question, prior research has not statistically assessed it through multi-country studies. We address this omission for one quintessential OECD country management reform: linking rewards-pay and promotion-to performance. We argue that performance rewards matter more for job satisfaction in richer than in poorer countries-for instance, because of fewer concerns with pa...

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:In this article, we explore how less dominant actors, service users in our case, utilize different types of power to influence more dominant professional groups during processes of co-production. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 48 service users involved in healthcare improvement research, we illuminate the crucial role of normative power during processes of co-production. In contrast to extant co-production literature, which largely focuses on structural or resource power, we show h...

摘要:This study investigates the collaborative factors conducive to co-production in public services, utilizing Ansell and Gash's framework and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) across 18 cases from the Collaborative Governance Case Database (CGCD). It identifies incentive as a necessary condition for co-production, revealing three sufficient pathways to co-production: managed, led, and self-organized co-production. The findings advance our understanding of the specific collaborati...
