摘要：Cross-boundary collaboration is a common strategy used to address environmental issues, but scholars do not yet fully understand what makes a difference in the outcomes of externally directed collaborations. To fill this gap, we examine whether a piece of state legislation that authorizes collaborative watershed restoration projects improves water quality. Using Oregon data from 1980 to 2021 and a regression discontinuity in time design, we find a 5% improvement in water quality after the legi...

摘要：Organizational legitimacy is essential for effective crisis governance. This study analyzes the rapid erosion of legitimacy faced by the German State Office for Health and Social Affairs (LAGeSo) during the 2015 refugee crisis, triggering cascading failures in public service delivery. Analyzing news articles and press statements, the study traces stakeholders' interactions with the LAGeSo, reconstructing key events and reactions to identify critical public governance failures. The findings sho...

摘要：Forums play a crucial role in how polycentric governance systems adapt by allowing actors to deliberate on how to respond to exogenous change. However, the exact role of forums remains unclear, as prior studies on polycentric governance often examine different types of actors and network structures separately. To address this issue, we combine insights from actor and network level analyses to compare how actors in three Dutch metropolitan areas use forum shifting, shopping, and linking as stra...

摘要：Law enforcement agencies are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools. While prior work emphasizes the technological features driving public opinion, we investigate how public trust and support for AI in government vary with the institutional context. We administer a pre-registered survey experiment to 4200 respondents about AI use cases in policing to measure responsiveness to three key institutional factors: bureaucratic proximity (i.e., local sheriff versus national ...

摘要：Over the past three decades, the amount of quantitative data in general and performance indicators specifically within street-level organizations has increased immensely. Although quantitative data is often perceived as information about and for practice, it must also be seen as part of practice itself. Through a bottom-up approach to numbers using ethnographic data from Danish public employment services targeting vulnerable clients, this article examines what happens when numbers are put on t...

摘要：This research investigates the configurations of openness and policy conditions influencing the implementation of environmental justice (EJ) open government data (OGD) dashboards across U.S. states. EJ dashboards represent a shift from a civic-tech approach to OGD, which emphasizes the public release of vast amounts of data, to a problem-centered approach where government agencies release and curate selected data to address a policy-specific issue. Because of their differences, problem-centere...

摘要：Illegitimate tasks are duties that violate established role expectations, such as assigning urban planning officers to manage traffic hotlines. In the public sector, bureaucratic structures, resource constraints, and leadership limitations often contribute to the proliferation of such tasks, yet their impact on public servants' behaviors remains unclear. This study examines how and when illegitimate tasks inhibit public servants' innovative work behavior through the mediating role of cognitive...

摘要：This paper examines the moderating effects of socio-political factors on the influence of issue salience and prosocial values on citizen activism in different governance contexts. While the literature on citizen activism has examined the emergence, motivations, and channels of activism, we still lack a broader understanding of how different social (membership of social groups and sense of attachment to local communities) and political (ease of citizen involvement and trust in government) conte...

摘要：Mission statements are common instruments for the strategic positioning of universities. However, there are few large-scale, cross-national studies examining the factors that influence the content of universities' mission statements. We address this research gap, exploring the content of 413 mission statements from European universities by applying correlated topic modeling (CTM). Moreover, relying on institutional theories of organization, we study factors that explain differences in the cont...

摘要：This study focuses on the prevalence of nonprofit sector support organizations (NSSOs)-a form of nonprofit organization (NPO) devoted to providing services and resources to support grassroots development. Contrary to previous studies that emphasize the importance of institutions in shaping the NPO population through their effect on citizens and nonprofit managers, this study links three institutional pressures-coercive, mimetic, and normative pressures-to the decisions of public agencies to es...
