• Bubbling up or cascading down? Public servants, political advisers and politicization AI翻译
  作者：Shaw, Richard; Eichbaum, Chris

  摘要：One of the strands in the growing scholarship on political advisers in parliamentary democracies proposes that advisers can reduce the risk of civil service politicization by furnishing partisan advice to ministers, freeing civil servants to focus on the provision of expert competence. This benign narrative generates a significant hypothesis, which is that the institutionalization of the partisan role diminishes the risk of civil service politicization. That hypothesis has yet to be fully test...
• Accountability and hybridity in welfare governance AI翻译

  摘要：Hybridity has become a central characteristic of accountability in public governance. Contemporary service delivery is increasingly defined by the mixing and layering of public, market and social accountability regimes operating as overlapping 'hybrid' accountability arrangements. Although hybrid accountability is not a new phenomenon, recent trends have accelerated the process of hybridization, particularly in welfare state governance. In this symposium, we seek to advance our understanding o...
• Reputation management by Chinese universities: Primary profile and comparative features AI翻译

  摘要：In this study, we analyse data from 176 Chinese universities to examine the use of reputation symbols on official websites. We find that Chinese universities prefer professional and performative symbols more than moral symbols. Reputation symbols are mainly observed in teaching, research, history and strategy categories, whereas their use in internal operations and the external environment is limited. A comparison with samples from the United States and Nordic countries indicates that their un...
• What is performance measurement for? Multiple uses of performance information within organizations AI翻译
  作者：Micheli, Pietro; Pavlov, Andrey
  作者单位：University of Warwick; Cranfield University
  摘要：Recent research in performance measurement has focused on the tension between two uses of performance information: 'passive', to ensure compliance, and 'purposeful', to improve services. This article presents an in-depth study of two public sector organizations in England and shows that the main tension may actually lie between a combined purposeful and passive use, and an exclusively passive one. This tension was most pronounced between organizational levels, where a combined use was dominant...

• The effect of fiscal transparency on corruption: A panel cross-country analysis AI翻译
  作者：Chen, Can; Neshkova, Milena, I
  作者单位：State University System of Florida; Florida International University
  摘要：Both academicians and practitioners have advocated for increased fiscal transparency in government as a means of promoting budget discipline, improving functioning of the public sector, fostering greater accountability, and fighting the global menace of corruption. Despite worldwide calls for greater disclosure, empirical analyses of whether and how fiscal transparency actually affects governance outcomes are still limited. This study draws on public choice and principal-agent theories to demo...
• Marketization reforms and co-production: Does ownership of service delivery structures and customer language matter? AI翻译
  作者：James, Oliver; Jilke, Sebastian
  作者单位：University of Exeter; Georgetown University
  摘要：In public services that are tax funded, public goods are sometimes marketized by being delivered using private companies instead of public organizations. In addition, marketization reforms can entail service users being described as customers for the service rather than as citizens. We assess the effects of these aspects of marketization reforms on users' willingness to co-produce public services. First, service delivery using private companies risks reducing users' willingness to co-produce b...
• Does organizational performance affect employee turnover? A re-examination of the turnover-performance relationship AI翻译
  作者：Wang, Weijie; Sun, Rusi
  作者单位：University of Missouri System; University of Missouri Columbia; University of Michigan System; University of Michigan
  摘要：A common problem with using organizational performance as the dependent variable is the ignoring of feedback effect. The current conceptualization of the turnover-performance relationship is mostly unidirectional, focusing on how turnover affects organizational performance. Only a few scholars have investigated the possible reverse relationship between turnover and performance. Aiming to further the research on the feedback effect of organizational performance, this study employed cross-lagged...
• A study of the operationalization of management controls in United Kingdom Private Finance Initiative contracts AI翻译
  作者：Ahmad, Salman; Connolly, Ciaran; Demirag, Istemi
  作者单位：Queens University Belfast; Keele University
  摘要：Utilizing evidence from a United Kingdom (UK) road case study Private Finance Initiative (PFI) project, this article considers how the UK central government's infrastructure strategy is operationalized through accounting-based performance measures and incentive systems, and articulates how the adoption of such systems is moderated by trust practices. The findings indicate that initial government policy objectives, translated as performance indicators in the case study, failed to offer adequate...
