摘要:Propelled by the New Public Management reforms, the infusion of market values in the public-nonprofit interface is argued to have increased nonprofit organizations' (NPOs) capacity to influence public policy through increased access to government, yet often at the cost of abandoning their critical stance toward the said government. Drawing on cross-country survey data collected from NPOs across three different welfare states (N = 779), this study examines to what extent key aspects of nonprofi...

摘要:Building on recent advances in crowdsourcing research, we argue that, when using crowdsourcing, governments should accurately select the crowd they wish to engage with, depending on the problem to be solved. While targeting a large crowd may be common, it is not always the most appropriate: it can waste significant resources without necessarily producing satisfactory results. We contend that the nature of the problem should determine the crowdsourcing strategy. We propose a typology of problem...

摘要:As shutdowns have increased in frequency and length for the US federal government, such dysfunction may impact the federal government's ability to retain talent. In December of 2018 through January of 2019, the US federal government and its workforce endured the longest shutdown in its history. However, we know little about that shutdown's effects on the US federal civil service labor market. In this paper, we examine the intervening impact of the 2018-2019 government shutdown on personnel sep...

摘要:Despite the recent interest in the deep state topic, the concept remains elusive. This research utilizes bibliometric metadata from 64 articles published between 2009 and 2024 to identify the intellectual structure and origins of the concept. The findings indicate that discussions on the deep state are fragmented across disciplines such as political science, public administration, law, international relations, and history, intersecting with themes like democratization, civilian-military relati...

摘要:As algorithmic decision-making (ADM) becomes prevalent in certain public sectors, its interaction with traditional bureaucratic decision-making (BDM) evolves, especially in contexts shaped by regional identities and decision-making biases. To explore these dynamics, we conducted two survey experiments within traffic enforcement scenarios, involving 4816 participants across multiple provinces. Results indicate that non-native residents perceived ADM as fairer and more acceptable than BDM when t...

摘要:Public managers at all levels of the political-administrative hierarchy take on a dual role as both principal and agent simultaneously. Because of this dual role, it is relevant for public managers to maintain credibility with their agents and remain loyal to their principals. This article develops a theory arguing that public managers can approach their dual role in a given situation utilizing a strategy based on one of four ideal types: Squires prioritize loyalty, Chieftains prioritize credi...

摘要:In politically polarized environments, presidential administrations rely on executive and administrative action to advance their social policy agendas. This article conducts a systematic review of the early Trump and Biden administration's use of unilateral action to influence PK-12 policy. We find that despite President Trump's campaign rhetoric around deregulation, both administrations employed unilateral action to influence education, although they pursued divergent policy priorities. We th...
