摘要:An enduring challenge of public administration research is examining whether public management affects the delivery of public policy results.

Organizations under stress use substitute managers. We argue that substitute managers' effective...

Drawing on a panel of Canadian public servants, we conducted a survey with both descriptive and experimental dimensions to identify and measure knowledge and confidence in the context of diverse whistleblowing regimes, and how t...

Citizen co-investment has become an important policy tool for governments to finance public services, yet little research has theorized and empirically examined the impacts of community contexts on citizens' willingness to invest their personal resources in public services. As social capital is often viewed as an important determinant of citizen behaviours, we propose two compe...
