• Connecting governance and the front lines: How work pressure and autonomy matter for coping in different performance regimes AI翻译

  摘要：How frontline employees cope with perceived work pressure may be of direct influence on policy outcomes. This study contributes to the street-level bureaucracy literature in several ways. First, we study both passive client-oriented and active system-oriented coping. Second, we analyse how these coping behaviours relate to work pressure and work autonomy. Finally, this article analyses whether these relationships are conditioned by the performance regime. Using a unique set-up of hospital empl...

  摘要：Political appointees from different parties from that of their ministercross-partisan appointees (CPAs)are increasingly found in the core executive. Ministerial advisory scholarship has overlooked CPAs, while the coalition governance literature sees them as spies' and coalition watchdogs'. This article argues theoretically and demonstrates empirically that this conceptualization is overly limited. The empirical basis is a large-N survey of political appointees from two Norwegian coalitions, an...
• Public or nonprofit? Career preferences and dimensions of public service motivation AI翻译

  摘要：While the foundational claim that PSM attracts individuals to the public sector is well established in the research literature, much uncertainty still exists about its influence on the choice between the public versus the nonprofit sector, which also frequently exhibits a strong public service mission. Little is known also about how discrete dimensions of PSM differ in their effects on such job preferences. This article addresses these shortcomings by drawing on a study that combines the measu...
• Reinforcing public responsibility? Influences and practices in street-level bureaucrats' engagement in policy design AI翻译

  摘要：Previous literature demonstrates that when street-level bureaucrats believe that the policy as designed is not desirable, they utilize various strategies to change the situation. This study suggests that when street-level bureaucrats believe that fixing a policy through the manner in which it is implemented is not enough, they will try to influence the design of the policy directly. Three factors promote this decision: public perceptions revealed in their interactions with clients, professiona...
• Employer engagement in active labour market programmes: The role of boundary spanners AI翻译
  作者：Ingold, Jo
  作者单位：University of Leeds
  摘要：The involvement (or engagement) of employers is critical to the success and effectiveness of active labour market programmes (ALMPs), yet little is known about how street-level organizations (SLOs) delivering them interact with employers. This article draws on interviews with 'employer engagement' staff in SLOs contracted to deliver the UK's principal ALMP, the 'Work Programme'. Conceptualizing these staff as 'boundary spanners' who operated both within SLOs and at the physical boundaries betw...
• Management strategies in response to an institutional crisis: The case of earthquakes in the Netherlands AI翻译
  作者：Schmidt, Arjen; Boersma, Kees; Groenewegen, Peter
  作者单位：Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
  摘要：When a policy sector is confronted with a relatively strong and steep decline in legitimacy, we speak of an institutional crisis. We know little about the causes or consequences of these crises. This article explores how institutional crises are managed. It focuses on the effects of management strategies observed in a case study of an institutional crisis in the Netherlands. While we found that policy elites displayed a tendency to maintain the status quo of a policy sector, we also found that...
• Exploring the durability of community enterprises: A qualitative comparative analysis AI翻译

  摘要：Despite the growing attention given to community-based initiatives in the delivery of public services, little is known about their durability. This article focuses on Dutch community enterprises (CEs) as an emerging form of community-based initiatives in urban regeneration. Due to their self-organizing and (largely) voluntary character, CEs face considerable governance challenges to sustain activities over time. Based on the literature, we examine the interplay of four key conditions in relati...

  摘要：Policy-makers claim to support personalized approaches to improving the employability of disadvantaged groups. Yet, in liberal welfare states, mainstream activation programmes targeting these groups often deliver standardized, low-quality services. Such failures may be related to a governance and management regime that uses tightly defined contracting and performance targets to incentivize (mainly for-profit) service providers to move people into any job as quickly as possible. This article dr...
