摘要：For over a century, the value of employee protections and limits on direct political control has been the sine qua non of a merit-based bureaucracy for the US public service. Such assumptions are at odds with the desire of populist governments to exert control over institutions of governance. This tension emerged during the Trump administration. Trump's Schedule F Executive Order sought to transform much of the career public service into political appointees, allowing them to be removed if the...

摘要：Based on evidence from a large-scale leadership training field experiment, this article advances our knowledge about the possibilities for training leaders toward more active and effective leadership. In the field experiment, public and private leaders were randomly assigned to a control group or one of three leadership training programs: Transformational, transactional, or a combined program. Employee responses from 463 organizations show that the training can affect leadership behavior posit...

摘要：Evidence for the fundamental presumption that municipal structure matters for government performance is smaller and weaker than many might expect. This research contributes evidence to the literature by focusing on how municipal structure affects government fiscal performance. Municipal structure is operationalized by constructing an index on a political-administrative scale based on seven essential structural characteristics. As the index score increases, the municipal structure becomes less ...

摘要：Public administration has seen an influx of work addressing something that has been called behavioral public administration (BPA); A hallmark of BPA is the examination of public administration from a micro-level perspective with attention to the psychological aspects of human behavior. However, scholars of public administration have long applied a micro-level lens to their research, even from a psychological standpoint. We argue here that the call for BPA is mainly an appeal for greater relian...

摘要：The performance-trust link constitutes an important issue, but the public administration and political science literature has been equivocal regarding how it is influenced by cultural and methodological factors. Meta-analyzing 72 empirical studies, this article finds that the link is stronger in low power distance countries, when outputs are used to measure government performance, or when the focus is on local government. In addition, the performance-trust link holds true regardless of whether...

摘要：Reporting government performance to the public is key tool in improving accountability. Some evidence, however, has shown that individuals' anti-public sector biases may distort performance information about public organizations. Using an experimental vignette on U.S. nursing homes, this study fills four gaps in the literature: (1) the need to include nonprofit organizations rather than just public and for-profit, (2) consideration of the credibility of the source of performance information, (...
