  摘要：Public corporations have grown in popularity over the last 30 years, but the conditions that lead governments to create them are still debated. In this study, we draw on an original dataset of public organizations at the federal and provincial levels in Canada to test the prevalence of corporatization and the conditions associated with the creation of public corporations. Our results show that corporatization has been an important phenomenon in Canada over the last 30 years, but that the creat...

  摘要：Public corporations have been constantly in the spotlight, with some commentators arguing that they can help governments provide better public services, and others insisting that their governance is simply too complex. Despite this ongoing debate, few studies have researched public corporation performance. The present study offers empirical evidence of the effects of various forms of corporatization on public service costs. In particular, it examines public service costs incurred under four di...

  摘要：Recent health care reforms in England, combined with financial austerity, have accelerated both corporatization and commercialization in the English National Health Service (NHS) and this has encouraged greater public sector entrepreneurialism (PSE). We advance this argument by examining the meaning and experience of corporatization in this sector, illustrating our argument with qualitative data from a specialist hospital at the forefront of this trend. We demonstrate how the policy and practi...
• From business-like to businesses: Agencification, corporatization, and civil service reform under the Thatcher administration AI翻译

  摘要：This paper sets out an archival account of events leading up to the mass agencification of the British civil service by the Thatcher administration (1979-1990). This account holds lessons for contemporary understandings of the ideological roots and institutional structures of corporatization. When Thatcher came to power in 1979, she wanted to make government efficient through the adoption of business-like practices. We show that this project was grounded in her Methodist upbringing and the eme...
• Burdens, Sludge, Ordeals, Red tape, Oh My!: A User's Guide to the Study of Frictions AI翻译

  摘要：Recent years have seen a dramatic growth in the study of frictions that individuals experience, especially in their interactions with the public sector, creating both the potential for new research opportunities and conceptual confusion. We seek to head off the latter by providing, in one place, a definition, description of the development, and comparison of four dominant conceptions of frictions: ordeal mechanisms, red tape, administrative burden, and sludge. In particular, we discuss the fou...

• Personnel governance of corporatized public services: Effects of executive resources and corporation forms on turnover AI翻译
  作者：Papenfuss, Ulf; Schmidt, Christian A.
  作者单位：Zeppelin University
  摘要：Corporatization has potentials for public service provision but also induces far-reaching governance challenges. Appointing executives for public corporations is a powerful personnel governance mechanism for public authorities to manage public service provision and resource dependencies. However, the theoretical understanding of executive turnover is limited. Drawing on resource dependence theory and embedding publicness fit perspectives, Cox regressions for 491 executives of 275 German munici...
• Corporatization and political ideology: The case of hospitals in Spain AI翻译
  作者：Alonso, Jose M.; Clifton, Judith; Diaz-Fuentes, Daniel
  作者单位：Universidad de Cantabria; Cardiff University
  摘要：Corporatization-arguably as important as privatization regarding public service reform-remains an under-researched topic in Public Administration. In this paper, we explore the extent to which the implementation of different types of corporatization strategies can be explained by the ideology of the ruling party in the Spanish public healthcare sector, selected for study because this sector was subject to reform, particularly, decentralization and marketization. To do so, we use count-data reg...
