摘要：Interest in public values has grown considerably over the past two decades. Much of this attention reflects a growing awareness that public values hold considerable significance for citizens and public employees. Yet, despite the rapid expansion of research on public values, we still know little about the role of race in shaping and determining public employees' values preferences. To begin remedying this gap, this article examines whether minority and white public managers in large US local g...

摘要：Service individualization is high on the agenda of active welfare states. Especially for the long-term unemployed and other people with complex problems, individualized employment and social services are seen as a crucial precondition for social and labour market integration. To achieve tailor-made service delivery, welfare states have introduced new governance mechanisms such as client profiling, performance indicators, game-theoretical incentives or institutionalized discretion. However, com...

This article speaks to the second of these features by applying the Public Service Bargain (PSB) lens to minister/political adviser relationships in new ways.

Focusing on the localism agenda reflected in England's academy schools policy', the article empirically demonstrates the political nature of scale by ...

摘要：Research has long found that high-quality workplace relationships have a beneficial impact on employees and organizations. Although these studies have developed elaborate models to examine high-quality workplace relationships, none were found to explore the association between high-quality workplace relationships and Job stress/exhaustion, commitment, and social impact. To fill this void in the literature, models were developed to explain the expected association that these employee attitudes ...

摘要：By investigating two German inter-departmental committees, this article shows that the policy output of these coordination bodies depends on the specific institutional logic evoked throughout the coordination process. While in one of the groups a policy logic prevailed and a joint coordination output was achieved, the other was dominated by a political logic and proved unable to achieve agreement. The article contributes to research on government coordination by showing that actor orientations...
