摘要：During ASPA's first fifty years (1939- 1989), the role of women in the Society evolved from virtual invisibility to token representation, to major participation. In the 1990s, women's role in ASPA continued to expand. They achieved just about full partnership with male colleagues in the organization's governance and they increased their contributions to ASPA's efforts to support the improvement of theory and practice in public administration through research and scholarship. However, women hav...

摘要：Despite the centrality of merit principles to governance in the United States over the past century, scant empirical research examines linkages between institutions, and outcomes in the implementation of merit system protections. We argue that the fate of merit principles depends, at a minimum, on two influences that may compete with neutral competence. The first is partisan responsiveness by counter bureaucracies charged with holding agencies accountable to merit principles. The second influe...

摘要：When Bill Clinton embraced national service as one of his administration's priorities, he took a step forward on two of his key initiatives. Not only was national service a new initiative in ifs own right, but Clinton also held it vp as a model of his efforts to reinvent government. It would be an exemplar of government that is catalytic, competitive, decentralized, and results oriented. This case study examines the theory and reality of reinvention. The Corporation for National Service and it...

When agency performance is evaluated ...

摘要：Undisciplined mongrels are faculty from public administration programs who publish in a wide variety of journals. We expected that undisciplined mongrels would have more successful publishing records than their counterparts-disciplined purists who publish exclusively in public administration journals. This expectation is supported through an analysis of journal publications by a panel of PI junior faculty members. We also expected that the methods that are currently used to rank public admini...
