摘要：This article compares the motivations and attitudes of public servants in Kazakhstan (n = 627) and Pakistan (n = 207) by analyzing quantitative and qualitative survey data. A comparison of these two developing Asian countries with distinct administrative traditions and path dependencies contributes to the public administration literature on developing countries. This literature often treats public servants in developing countries as a single category, with little contextualization of findings....

摘要：Recent micro-level research on public sector reform and change highlights the importance of employees' reactions to change. Based on the assumption that intentions determine behaviors, scholars have focused on the importance of understanding how change-supportive intentions are formed. However, how change-supportive intentions translate to change-supportive behaviors over time has received less attention. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior and public administration literature, this stud...

摘要：Cost accounting in public organizations is not often studied from a comparative perspective, particularly at the national level of government. While it is often claimed that factors such as New Public Management (NPM) and fiscal stress are the primary drivers of government cost accounting, an important but understudied factor is the administrative tradition of the government, which may influence the use of cost accounting and tools like it. This article examines the perceptions of top public e...

摘要：The central aim of this article is to examine trends in the municipal government workforce in metropolitan (urban) areas. It explores, from a local public economies perspective, how the intergovernmental organization of municipalities influences their workforce capacities. The article situates the local labor market in state-local systems and examines how local governments respond to fragmentation in a metropolitan area. The main finding is that the employment capacity of municipalities varies...

摘要：Although public administration scholars have long studied discrimination on the basis of race/ethnicity,class,and gender,little to no research exists on whether street-level bureaucrats provide differential services based on the religious identity of their constituents. This article reports the results from a large-scale correspondence study of street-level bureaucrats in the American public school system. The authors emailed the principals of a large sample of public schools and asked for a m...

摘要：Today's globalized world calls for a deeper understanding of how and why administrative practices differ across regions and what that means for theory and practice. However, empirical comparative studies in public administration incorporating local and regional particularities in their design, constructs, and interpretation of results are scarce, with the exception of studies on specific constructs such as public service motivation, professional values, and emerging approaches to non-Western p...

摘要：How do local governments set performance targets under multi-task conditions? This article builds a theoretical linkage between environmental targets and gross domestic product (GDP) growth goals in China. Treating environmental protection and economic development as competitive tasks in China, the author argues that environmental targets constrain GDP growth goals and that this negative relationship is weakened by relative pollutant emission efficiency. The article empirically examines these ...

摘要：Recent developments in the social sciences have demonstrated that we cannot uncritically aggregate the published research on a particular effect to conclude about its presence or absence. Instead, questionable research practices such asp-hacking (conducting additional analyses or collecting new data to obtain significant results) and selective publication of significant results can produce a body of published research that misleads readers even if it contains many significant results. It is, t...
