The conc...

However, little research has been done that explains how officers' organizational commitment, an essential requirement for above average employee productivity, can be improved.

Proponents of FOI hoped that government would be less secretive, more accountable and more effective; critics feared that civil servants would lose t...

摘要：Network forms of governance enable public managers to exercise considerable agency in shaping the institutions through which government interacts with citizens, civil society organizations and business. These network institutions configure democratic legitimacy and accountability in various ways, but little is known about how managers-as-designers think about democracy. This Q methodology study identifies five democratic subjectivities. Pragmatists have little concern for democracy. Realists r...
