摘要：Recent years have shown that strategic responses to crises by local governments (LGs) depend on the type of crisis, the institutional environment, but also internal capacities and sensemaking processes. However, such relationships have not been tested widely yet. Based on a survey of managers (n = 590) from cities with more than 15,000 inhabitants in France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, this study explores the role played by specific organizational capacities (critical thinking, bri...

Leveraging data from 17 cohorts of applicants accross four US fellowship programs over 19 years (N = 2141; 31,153 individual-year observations), we employ a staggered difference-in-differences approac...

摘要：Governing arrangements involving public, private, and third-sector actors are increasingly initiated to tackle sustainability challenges. Their value creation relies on the collective efforts of diverse stakeholders, but actors adhering to different institutional logics have divergent opinions on what collaborative value creation should encompass and how it should be measured and managed. This integrative literature review explores the performance measurement and management (PMM) of collaborat...

摘要：The aim of the article is to interpret the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 in light of crisis management theories, seeking to draw from this event some general lessons about the nature of crises, their determinants, and how they are managed. More specifically, the article addresses three questions: (1) Why did Israel underestimate the warning signs and fail to prevent the attack? (2) What decision-making logic did the Israeli government adopt in responding to the attack? (3) What kind of crisi...

摘要：Evidence-based practice (EBP) has become a global public management movement to improve constituents' lives through government decision making. However, how civil servants' decisions are influenced by scientific evidence remains unanswered. In this study, we answer two related research questions: (1) How do different elements of evidence impact civil servants' program preferences? (2) How does the rating of evidence influence their program preferences? Collaborating with major governmental and...

摘要：The characteristics of populations benefiting from collaboration are mostly regarded as contextual factors in collaborative theory and research. Drawing on policy design and distributive justice theories, this study seeks to understand how public support for collaboration varies depending on the characteristics of the target population that benefits from collective action. The analysis demonstrates that collaborative arrangements aiding populations considered deserving are more likely to gain ...

摘要：The growth of rules in modern democracies burdens citizens, businesses, and administrative bodies. To address this, many governments have implemented so-called regulatory offsetting schemes, requiring the removal of existing rules and regulations for each new one introduced. However, systematic knowledge on which countries have adopted these schemes and their specific designs remains lacking. Our study maps regulatory offsetting initiatives across OECD states and offers a first theoretical fra...

摘要：Leveraging a three-state survey of 323 civil servants and 36 interviews, representing blue and red states, this university-government-nonprofit collaborative research project aims to better understand how civil servants access and use evidence in their decision-making process. Our findings show that 54% of respondents find evidence-based practices (EBPs) useful in making budget, policy, and contracting decisions, with 68% of civil servants anticipating future benefits from evidence use. Our hy...
