摘要：The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 and the George W. Bush administrations Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) established new routines that were intended to foster performance management practices.

The main exception is that managerial involvement...

The authors suggest that innovative activity is associated with higher public service quality when the level of customer and learning orientation within the focal organization is high. They test this hypothesis by drawing on a novel panel data set covering all public nonspecialist hospital organizations in England. Using dynam...

Frequently, professionals have difficulty identifying with new policies, resulting in diminished policy performance. The author examines this problem using the concept of policy alienation and develops and tests a scale for its measurement. Policy alienation is associated conceptually with five subdimensions: strategic powerlessness, tactical powerlessness, operational powerlessness...
