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：Representative bureaucracy studies have explored the potential impact of symbolic representation on clients' attitudes and behaviors, even in the absence of direct action by bureaucrats. Through four original conjoint experiments conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1600 participants in China, we analyze the symbolic representation effects of five most commonly observable identity signals, including gender, age, accent, party affiliation, and human voice (versus AI chatbot), ac...

摘要：The Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, with their shared political histories, have confronted the compounded challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war. These difficulties spurred the emergence of public-nonprofit collaboration in all three countries, each taking distinct paths. Our study aims to unravel these divergent trajectories of public-nonprofit collaboration through the lens of historical institutionalism. Using this lens, we attribute this divergence to the influence o...

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：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...

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...
