摘要：While art should be for everyone, public institutions like museums are not always inclusive to all members of society. Arts participation varies by sociodemographic characteristics despite the numerous benefits of the arts. To date, much of the research has focused on how visitor characteristics influence museums, but how do museum characteristics influence arts participation? We employ a conjoint experiment where respondents assess how they value different art museum attributes. In particular...

摘要：Public service motivation (PSM), public service values (PSV), and public service ethos (PSE), we argue, constitute theoretically complementary dimensions of public service psychology. Using multi-dimensional scaling (MDS), we also empirically map the three constructs to identify their interrelationships as constituent parts of a public service topology. Using a survey of public and private employees, we determined which of the PSM, PSV, and PSE instruments most strongly correlate with (1) sect...

摘要：Political issues sometimes display an intriguing combination of high degrees of complexity, low political saliency, and high levels of administrative autonomy. This article investigates how this type of issues shapes the relationship between politicians and the public service. More specifically, we advance the notion of administrative action space to describe the emergence of collaborative governance when directives from the political level are intermittent or absent. Using an illustrative cas...

摘要：Health crises, climate change, and technological hazards pose serious managerial and equity challenges for local governments. To effectively navigate the uncertainties and complexity, municipalities are increasingly collaborating with one another and sharing data and information to improve decision-making. While data sharing fosters effectiveness in responding to threats, it also entails risks. One major concern is that local government managers often lack the knowledge and technical skills re...

摘要：Administrative burdens appear to influence citizens' perceptions of welfare policies and attitudes toward beneficiaries. However, empirical evidence that has disentangled different state actions' effects on policy perceptions is scarce. We applied a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial survey experiment and manipulated the conceptually distinct state actions implemented in German unemployment benefits. We investigated whether and how exposure to learning demands, compliance demands, and sanctions affected citi...

摘要：Networks are increasingly seen as promising generic solutions to complex public problems. This article analyzes network-building in action within a specific regional setting as an attempt to cope with increasing and varied demands for older person care, studying everyday organizational and policy activities of actors. Drawing on a qualitative in-depth case study of a regional network in Zeeland-the most aging region in the Netherlands-our findings illuminate how this network is created, nurtur...

摘要：Administrative burdens are widespread and likely to generate unequal opportunities in access to government programs and other important entitlements. Whereas a large body of research has examined administrative burdens in citizen-state encounters, little is known either theoretically or empirically about burdens in business-government interactions. In this article, we argue that private businesses, just like individual citizens, experience administrative burdens in encounters with the governme...

摘要：Representative bureaucracy theory posits that the presence of less-advantaged social groups in public leadership positions is an important driver of social equity among the recipients of public services and the public servants who provide them. To evaluate whether active representation can lead to improvements in social equity within arms-length public service organizations, this article presents an analysis of the relationship between women in the boardroom and the gender pay gap in 102 large...
