摘要：Strategic improvisation often occurs in fast-paced decision-making environments. Yet, improvisation has received little scholarly attention in public administration and management. This knowledge gap leads to the study's research question: what drives strategic improvisation in the emergency services of a developing country? To answer this research question, the article examines the socio-structural pathways to strategic improvisation by drawing on survey questionnaire data collected from serv...

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：Public employees are expected to treat all citizens equally; however, due to limited resources and increasing demands, they often simplify their decisions by prioritizing based on social categories. Whereas previous studies have often focused on a few or even a single category at a time, this article employs a broader framework consisting of six citizen prototypes that public employees apply simultaneously in their assessments. The results of a choice-based conjoint experiment reveal that the ...

摘要：Regulatory instruments to manage the COVID-19 pandemic have been the object of rich scholarly debates, primarily focused on early national responses to the crisis. We investigate variation in sub-national regulatory approaches when a crisis is normalized, its association with competing political ideas about the health-economy trade-off and the coercion-persuasion continuum, and the specificities of the socio-economic context to be regulated. We systematically compare the regulatory approaches ...

摘要：While public administration research has begun exploring the impact of women's representation in top leadership positions in public organizations, the conditions under which women's representation in top management teams (TMTs) produces policies specifically benefiting women remain underexamined. Using a panel dataset covering 276 Chinese municipalities (2010-2018), this study examines how women's representation in mayoral teams affects women-sensitive policy adoption. Fixed-effects Poisson re...

摘要：This paper investigates the attitudes of public servants toward government-mandated equity-focused public sector hiring. We study this in the context of the Federal Character Principle (FCP) in Nigeria, which exists to ensure ethnic, gender, and religious representation in the federal civil service. Utilizing in-depth interviews of mid-level employees in select ministries, we ask: (1) do Nigerian public servants value the FCP? (2) do they experience a sense of diversity and inclusion within th...

摘要：We investigate the impact of women's representation in bureaucracy on corruption. In this study, we demonstrate how women bureaucrats' experiences in male-dominated workplaces contribute to curbing corruption. To do this, we investigate three dimensions of women's representation (average share, average rank, and hierarchical dispersion) in South Korean regional governments. Empirical evidence shows that the higher women bureaucrats are ranked, the more bureaucrats are disciplined against misbe...

摘要：How do the strategies that governments employ when they encounter crisis-induced turbulence affect the robustness of the political regime in which they operate? Comparative studies of the connection between government strategies and political regime robustness under different cultural and institutional conditions are few and far between. This article studies the vaccination strategies that governments in Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Hungary, and Italy employed in their respective responses to th...

摘要：This paper examines socioeconomic status (SES) as an indicator for decision-making among frontline professionals in healthcare, focusing on general practitioners (GPs). Aside from research on stereotypes, we know little about how frontline professionals reason about SES in decision-making. This study addresses this gap by investigating how GPs use SES to develop care for patients with varying SES backgrounds. Based on qualitative interviews, the study identifies three SES reasonings that are c...

摘要：Public servants who monitor and supervise the administrative and political systems must consider the extent to which they are willing to stretch the boundaries of their role for holding public servants accountable. We develop an analytical framework of the factors that influence the decisions of such officials, focusing on state auditors. Using new institutionalism, we suggest that the social, cultural, and political context figures more prominently in state auditors' strategic calculations th...
