  摘要：Does board diversity or representativeness influence organizational performance? Though it is understudied in both the public and the nonprofit sectors, learning more about this critical subject can enhance organizational performance within highly collaborative settings. Community mediation centers, which rely on multiple public and private resources to meet their programmatic objectives, provide excellent case studies for analyzing the impact of different kinds of interorganizational linkages...
• Performance Measurement in the Public Sector in England: Searching for the Golden Thread AI翻译
  作者：Micheli, Pietro; Neely, Andy
  作者单位：Cranfield University
  摘要：Despite the significant volume of studies on public sector performance measurement, a paucity of empirical research describes in detail the systems and processes used at different levels of government to measure and manage performance. This study focuses on the experience of Public Service Agreements in the public sector in England. In particular, the impact of a centralized, performance measurement-driven approach on public service delivery is analyzed using case studies in a health care and ...
• The Limits of Administration: A Response to Christopher Hood AI翻译
  作者：Yesilkagit, Kutsal
  作者单位：Utrecht University
  摘要：The development of states coincides with the continuous (re)definition of administrative limits, according to Kutsal Yesilkagit, in this response to Christopher Hood. Hood's thought-provoking essay suggests putting the concept of administrative limits to greater use as an analytical concept and explores the idea of administrative limits from three basic ways of thinking: cybernetics, economics and cultural theory. This author critically analyzes one of Hood's main conclusions-that different ty...

  摘要：Cutback management in the public sector poses unique problems. More than 30 years ago, Charles Levine illustrated these problems by discussing the paradoxes of cutback management in public organizations. Building on Levine's work on cutback management and developments in publicness theory, the author provides a contemporary perspective on cutback management. He asserts that publicness creates paradoxical tensions in different domains such as organizational goals, employee motivation, and organ...
• Woodrow Wilson's Administrative Thought and German Political Theory AI翻译
  作者：Rosser, Christian
  作者单位：University of Bern
  摘要：To what extent were Woodrow Wilson's ideas about public administration informed by German organic political theory? Drawing on the writings of Wilson, Lorenz von Stein, and Johann K. Bluntschli on public administration, and comparing American and German primary sources, the author offers insights into Wilson's general concept of public administration, as well as his understanding of the politics-administration dichotomy. With regard to current administrative research, this study underscores ho...

  摘要：Public administration continues to face an identity crisis that turns on the question of whether the animating principles of the discipline are to be discovered in the political foundations of a given regime, or whether they are to be found in more universal and transcendent principles of scientific management. Herbert J. Storing reframed the identity crisis as a problem arising from America's constitutional system of governance. In doing so, he created an important role for public administrat...
• The Triumph of Loyalty Over Competence: The Bush Administration and the Exhaustion of the Politicized Presidency AI翻译
  作者：Moynihan, Donald P.; Roberts, Alasdair S.
  作者单位：University of Wisconsin System; University of Wisconsin Madison; Suffolk University
  摘要：The most important administrative aspect of the George W. Bush presidency was not its formal management reform agenda, but its attempt to extend the politicized presidency. Efforts to assert tighter political control of the federal bureaucracy, revived during the Ronald Reagan administration, were pursued to an extreme under Bush. Loyalty triumphed over competence in selection, and political goals displaced rationality in decision making. However, the strategy of politicization undermined the ...
