摘要：Guerrilla government is Rosemary O'Leary's term for the actions of career public servants who work against the wishes-either implicitly or explicitly communicated-of their superiors. This form of dissent is usually carried out by those who are dissatisfied with the actions of public organizations, programs, or people, but typically, for strategic reasons, choose not to go public with their concerns in whole or in part. Rather than acting openly, guerrillas often move clandestinely behind the s...

摘要：Readers are invited to a rendezvous with the meaning of the heart and emotions in public administration.

This is surprising in light of New Public Management voices that stress flexibility, responsiveness, and a focus on the needs and demands of citizens. The functionality of the heart in a mind-oriented bure...

Public managers with private sector work experience report different perspectives when compared to their counterparts who have spent their entire careers in the public sector Though private sector work experience negatively correlates with job satisfaction, it only does so for the new switcher, whose last job was in the private sector. As careers advance, the negative impact seems to wane, leaving ...

摘要：This article examines the funding of two key components of state government total compensation: pensions and other postemployment benefits (OPEB), the latter consisting primarily of retiree health care. A brief overview of the economic, political, and legal environments of state pensions and OPEB is followed by an analysis of the unfunded liabilities for these respective benefits. Regression results suggest the importance of state management capacity, per capita income, and public employee den...
