摘要:Although the influence of government regulation on organizations is undeniable, empirical research in this field is scarce. This article investigates how the understanding of and attitudes toward government regulation among public, nonprofit, and for-profit managers affect organizational performance, using U.S. nursing homes as the empirical setting. Findings suggest that managers' perceptions of regulation legitimacy-views of regulation fairness, inspectors' effectiveness, and internal utilit...

摘要:What effect does bureaucratic responsiveness have on citizen participation? Since the 1940s, attitudinal measures of perceived efficacy have been used to explain participation. The authors develop a calculus of participation that incorporates objective efficacy-the extent to which an individual's participation actually has an impact-and test the model against behavioral data from the online application Fix My Street (n = 399,364). A successful first experience using Fix My Street is associated...

摘要:Citizen satisfaction with public services has been shown to depend on citizens' expectations and their perceptions of performance. If performance exceeds expectations, satisfaction is likely; if performance falls short of expectations, dissatisfaction is likely. The existing evidence on this process covers the United States and the United Kingdom. The authors generalize the idea of expectation-driven citizen satisfaction (the expectancy-disconfirmation model) theoretically and empirically to a...
