摘要:Publishing is a source of capital and power in academia, and coauthoring is a common way to publish. However, studies in public administration have not yet examined the structure of coauthorship patterns, how these patterns have evolved over time, or the extent to which these patterns are gendered. We use bibliometric data to examine coauthorship in public administration scholarship over four decades with a particular focus on gendered patterns. Descriptive statistics, regression, and social n...

摘要:Global reports indicate that 307 million women have suffered physical or sexual intimate partner violence during the last 12 months. Yet, chronic underreporting of domestic violence (DV) is still a reality in the United States and worldwide. The process of going to a police station and reporting DV is extremely burdensome, leading to numerous psychological effects on the victim and lost opportunity cost of stopping the violence cycle. This study investigates the impacts of bypassing police con...

摘要:The emergence of the administrative burden literature has generated new theoretical, conceptual, and empirical knowledge. However, the accumulation of comparable knowledge is limited by the lack of validated measurement of core concepts. This article validates a four-item scale of burden tolerance, that is, people's acceptance of state actions that impose administrative burdens on citizens and residents interacting with government, using data from seven countries and 12 surveys. We illustrate ...

摘要:Organizations worldwide are concerned about workers using generative pretrained transformers (GPTs), which can generate human-like text in seconds at work. These organizations are setting rules on how and when to use GPTs. This article focuses on street-level bureaucrats' (SLBs) intentions to use GPTs even if their public organization does not allow its use (tech rule-breaking). Based on a mixed-methods exploratory design, using focus groups (N=14) and a survey experiment (N=279), we demonstra...

摘要:Public encounters are an essential element in citizen-state interactions. Yet, we know very little about the interactional dynamics between clients and street-level bureaucrats. By analyzing data from interviews and participatory observations of public encounters in a social security administration context, we propose a typology of public encounters based on clients' and employees' preparedness that affects the dynamics and outcomes of services. Encounters can either be characterized by Confli...

摘要:A new mayor's transition period is widely regarded as important to their overall success, yet mayoral transitions have received little research attention. This exploratory, mixed-method study of 15 newly elected U.S. mayors combines primary survey data of time use with two waves of mayoral interviews to illuminate the nature and purposes of mayoral activities during the transition period. Analyses of the survey data suggest that mayors' activities vary significantly and are associated with a r...

摘要:Public administration research has increasingly turned to network analysis to understand complex inter-organizational and interpersonal dynamics. While the discipline has made significant progress in analyzing networks, it has yet to adequately address causality. This gap limits our ability to provide evidence-based insights to practitioners who must make strategic decisions within networks. This article calls for the systematic integration of causal design into network research. We identify c...

摘要:Drawing on the literature on bureaucratic discretion, this study conducts a large-scale, nationwide causal analysis of the effects of body-worn cameras (BWC) in the United States (US). It employs a staggered difference-in-differences (DiD) approach using 12 years of panel data (2008-2019) covering 697 local police agencies. The findings indicate that BWC adoption had no significant effect on White arrests but led to an approximately 5.5% decrease in Black arrests. Importantly, the reduction in...

摘要:What factors influence refugees' perceptions of justice in bureaucratic institutions? As global migration movements draw increasing attention, migrants' experiences as constituents in destination countries merit further research. Drawing evidence from the 2018 survey of refugees participating in the German Socio-Economic Panel, this article examines the role of legal status in shaping perceptions of justice at government offices. Our findings highlight a stark contrast: refugees with unstable ...
