摘要：Climate change is a management and governance challenge requiring diverse potential responses. This article highlights the critical role public managers play in navigating the response diversity of such governance systems. Response diversity is the rule-based set of options available for responding to unexpected service disruptions and is distinguished from ambiguity, which holds a negative valence within public administration. We first develop theoretical propositions about how institutions i...

摘要：The theory of symbolic representation expects that passive representativeness of bureaucrats can heighten agencies' perceived legitimacy and enhance citizen outcomes. Empirical evidence on the consequences of symbolic representation, however, is mixed. By performing a meta-analysis of 286 effect sizes, this study finds a significantly positive, though weak, association between passive representation and its anticipated symbolic outcomes. A meta-regression analysis further examined how the sali...

摘要：Despite widespread support for integrated service delivery (ISD), the challenges of making ISD a sustainable feature of the public sector remain unresolved. This article offers new insights to this persistent challenge by developing a novel theoretical framework, inspired by the perspective of institutional complexity, and applying it to the case of Danish job centers. We demonstrate how the contradictory and layered nature of governance arrangements simultaneously pose demands of service inte...

摘要：E-governance is considered one of the most important factors in delivering and administering public services in modern societies. However, data show that many African countries are currently lagging behind countries in other parts of the world. This manuscript investigates how various factors, including economic prosperity, government effectiveness, and infrastructural support, contribute to the growth and effectiveness of e-governance initiatives in 54 African countries. We specifically analy...

摘要：As urban areas grow, ecosystem extent and condition continue to decline. Some countries have adopted no net loss policies that require compensatory actions for unavoidable ecosystem losses. In the US, mitigation banking has emerged as a means of offsetting losses, but the system remains dominated by private commercial banks and mitigation outside of an urban context. With this in mind, we seek to understand the institutional drivers of innovative finance for urban mitigation projects at the pu...

摘要：The efficiency of decision-making in public organizations is a key area of interest for public administration scholars. Drawing on upper echelons theory, this study examines how top managers' empowering leadership affects decision-making speed and comprehensiveness in public organizations. Through a three-wave questionnaire survey involving 1149 TMT members from 133 public organizations in China, we tested the proposed theoretical model and hypotheses. Our findings reveal that top manager empo...

摘要：Deservingness literature has shown that people, including frontline workers, spontaneously judge whether welfare recipients are responsible for their own situation or are victims of circumstances beyond their own control, and that these judgments shape behaviors and opinions. We contribute to this literature by examining the impact of clients' responsibility for their own sickness on how the clients are treated by frontline workers. Using a pre-registered vignette survey experiment among 1050 ...

摘要：Entrepreneurial leadership in the public sector has attracted the interest of both scholars and policymakers, as it is seen as a key determinant of innovation. This study adopts a contingency view of leadership and examines the entrepreneurial leadership-innovation relationship while also considering the moderating effects of the causal- and effectual-logic processes employed. Based on multisource data across 105 municipal departments in Greece, the findings suggest that entrepreneurial leader...

摘要：Public employees' whistleblowing is an effective anti-corruption means because they can provide rigorous evidence of wrongdoing in public organizations. However, whistleblowing may cause risks to the individuals and their organization, which discourage them from reporting. While the topic has been understudied, a few studies have adopted the theory of planned behavior (TPB) from psychology to gain insights into whistleblowing. However, these studies have overlooked the unique characteristics o...

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 ...
