摘要：New research argues that robust governance based on flexible adaptation and proactive innovation is needed in order to uphold core public functions, purposes, and values in times of societal turbulence. However, we have limited knowledge of the conditions for enhancing robust governance. To fill that knowledge gap, we ask: How can multi-level governance, hybrid governance, and societal intelligence contribute to the development of robust responses to the proliferation of complex and turbulent ...

摘要：Citizens' participation and direct initiatives are on the rise, including in assessing public service performance. Performance measurement and government-citizen interactions have been traditionally studied separately in public administration scholarship. To bridge this gap, this article integrates these two bodies of literature, proposing a typology of approaches to government-citizen interactions in public service performance assessment and highlighting their features. It also discusses the ...

摘要：This paper examines how contractual governance in a public-private partnership evolved over a 16-year period. It adopts a novel approach by revisiting an earlier analysis of Ireland's first PPP contract for school's infrastructure. We examine contractual governance at two distinct levels: the contract management level (between government and contractor) and the operational level (between school principals and facilities managers). We find that contractual governance between contracting parties...

摘要：Embracing participatory budgeting in meaningful ways gives the citizenry an increased voice in allocating local government funds. Using an integrated social equity framework, we compare ten communities in the U.S. that have implemented participatory budgeting. Qualitative interviews of public managers involved in participatory budgeting revealed that, when designed with equity in mind, PB can promote access, fairness, and quality, leading to meaningful outcomes for marginalized groups, such as...

摘要：Many studies have sought to identify the contingency factors of success in various network governance mechanisms. Despite the relevance of their results, the contingency factors that determine the establishment of specific governance forms remain unclear. Through a qualitative comparative analysis of 13 networks of health and social care integration in Milan (Italy), we explore how diverse configurations of contingency factors produce different governance forms. The results highlight three mod...

摘要：Behavioral public administration research has provided empirical evidence of several perception biases when individuals process information. Building on these findings, we seek to advance the literature by analyzing politicians' financial perceptions of their own government. Drawing on the theory of motivated reasoning, we examine the context of Swedish municipalities and find financial perception gaps associated with politicians' party affiliation (establishment or anti-establishment), parlia...

摘要：There is considerable investment by government policymakers in supporting pilot innovation in public services, following which pilots prove difficult to sustain. Our 4-year longitudinal study of three pilot innovations in England, which seek to support the transition of care leavers into adulthood, provides insight into how such pilots can be sustained. Conceiving innovation as a journey, our study first identifies the dynamics of innovation around five key ingredients: the role of senior mana...

摘要：The implementation work of street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) is becoming more complex due to concurrent imperatives. While previous research has focused on SLBs' discretion decisions and coping strategies, this study adds to existing literature by suggesting that their perceptions of the job are changing. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 87 US police officers, we found that SLBs are influenced by the great emphasis on public value, understanding their job in terms of assuming general responsi...

摘要：Social justice is often theorized as fairness and expressed in equity as part of public administration and associated budgeting practices. Whereas much literature contrasted deontological positions, emphasizing a procedural justice with fairness based on rules, with consequentialist theory that emphasizes a distributional justice based on outcomes, this paper addresses lack of social justice research into practices. As politics of the budget process is fundamental to who gets what, calling upo...

摘要：The study aims to contribute knowledge about how we can understand control of digitalization and why digitalization becomes a dispersed practice. The study offers two main contributions. First, we introduce the metaphor chasing digitalization to describe the observed mode of control of digitalization. Control involved chasing after digital solutions-getting hold of things-and chasing in, which entails facilitating activities to ensure organizational adoption. The second contribution deepens ou...
