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：Different from common knowledge on central-local information asymmetry, this study focuses on reverse information asymmetry, in which local governments may lack information on the intentions and resolve of the central government. Such information asymmetry can lead to a loss-loss scenario, wherein central-government-designed policies are eroded and local governments are punished. Arguably, with a multiwave inspection scheme, the central government can credibly signal its emphasis on certain po...

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：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...

摘要：Administrative burden is experienced by both individuals and businesses when dealing with government entities. While previous literature suggests administrative burden arises from the deliberate choices of political actors, this study highlights how bureaucratic redundancies also lead to administrative burden. Using a dataset of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in China, this study explored the influence of bureaucratic redundancy on administrative burden, in particular contractors' complian...

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...
