摘要：Partner selection is critical for interlocal collaboration. However, governments often face challenges in identifying suitable partners, which can undermine the potential gains of collaboration. While previous studies suggest that conforming to peers can reduce uncertainty in decision-making, its role in partner selection remains underexplored. This study explores the effects of peer conformity on interlocal collaboration. We posit that, in collaborative settings with high uncertainty, local g...

摘要：In 2009, the US federal government created the Build America Bond (BAB) program to improve access to the capital markets for state and local governments. While the federal government typically subsidizes subnational capital financing indirectly through tax exemption, the BAB program provided direct cash subsidies to governments. The Budget Control Act of 2011 implemented a sequester that reduced BAB subsidies by 5.7 to 8.7% each year since 2013. This paper estimates previous and potential futu...

摘要：Understanding the use of evidence by public organizations and public officials is a key issue for public administration scholars and practitioners. In this study, we examine how individual- and organizational-level factors relate to evidence informed policy making. Using the Norm of Evidence and Research in Decision-making (NERD), we conduct an online survey to analyze evidence informed policy making perceptions of public officials (n = 438) holding policy responsibilities within the Flemish (...

摘要：Elected chief executives in the United States-that is, governors and presidents-routinely attempt to achieve their domestic policy goals by influencing the decision-making of public agencies. I provide empirical assessments of the two most frequently theorized elected executive influence tactics: political appointments and the centralization of agency decision-making. Using an expansive survey of the leaders in over 1800 state agencies, observational and experimental evidence are used to evalu...

摘要：In the study of policy and administration, emotions are largely conceived as an exogenous factor that impacts on institutions and processes. Still ignored are the emotions felt and performed not just individually by civil servants, but collectively within government organizations. This article turns to insights on emotions from organizational studies to offer a conceptual framework through which to understand the lifeworld of government, or institutional pathos. It then applies this framework ...

摘要：Employee fraud, defined as the misuse of organizational resources for personal financial gain, has long been a serious issue in public organizations, risking deteriorated performance outcomes. Although previous public administration research has discussed organizational cheating related to organizational performance, we need to inquire further about employee fraudulent behaviors across public organizations and other scenarios that cause those behaviors. This study focuses on whether performanc...

摘要：Studies of representative bureaucracy often focus on underrepresented social groups in the public sector and examine the link between passive representation and active or symbolic representation. This study emphasizes that passive representation is not a fixed condition but can be influenced by policy interventions and shaped by historical passive representation. This study proposes hypotheses that affirmative action bans at the state level, which were adopted with an expectation to yield neut...

摘要：Elections are essential for democracy, but the turbulence and uncertainty they bring can disrupt the functioning of public organizations. This study investigates how elections may trigger dysfunctional interpersonal dynamics and behaviors among civil servants. We specifically examine the relationship between elections and both increased interpersonal conflicts within public organizations and heightened counterproductive behaviors among civil servants. Using a longitudinal pretest-posttest desi...

摘要：This study investigates how administrative burden in college admissions affects individuals with criminal records, with attention to racial disparities. Grounded in administrative burden theory and the role of street-level bureaucrats, it examines how admissions representatives respond to applicants with disclosed criminal histories. Through a correspondence audit experiment, fictitious applicants-Tyrone (presumed Black) and Christopher (presumed White)-sent inquiries to institutions of higher...
