摘要：Attracting talent to public administration is a highly relevant issue of practical concern and scholarly debate. Building on unique survey data of 424 individuals who switched jobs to join public administration, this study explores public employer attractiveness in a multi-incentive setting, accounting for the experiences of a less explored population (i.e., job switchers) that may have different preferences regarding public sector employment compared with the more commonly investigated studen...

The research takes a metasynthetic approach to a traditional systematic review by incorporating ethnographic methods to synthesize the state of the dissent and guerrilla government research. The findings suggest that dissent plays a critical role in the public sector, such as promoting transparency and accountability and fostering a learning culture through feedback. Howeve...

摘要：Do populist politicians increase the number of political appointments when they assume power? While the existing literature identifies politicization and political appointments as leading populist strategies, empirical evidence remains limited. Given the elusive nature of political appointments, it is challenging to assess their true extent in various contexts. Our research highlights how exemptions from a merit-based process are a major indicator of politicization. Through a systematic analys...

摘要：How do informal actors achieve rapid bureaucratic dismantlement without formal authority? Analyzing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, this article argues that when performance-based legitimacy displaces procedural legitimacy as the dominant evaluative framework, informal actors can bypass established safeguards and reshape government institutions. Three concepts capture this process: advisory capture, legitimacy regime transition, and constrained coercion. The analysis...

摘要：Literature on value developed along two influential interpretations: public values as normative expectations about policymaking and governance and public value expressing added or lost benefits experienced through public action. Although normatively linked, these interpretations evolved as separate streams, limiting conceptual clarity and cumulative analysis. In response, this article develops value as praxis as an analytical framework that treats the relationship between public value and publ...

摘要：How people are treated in the workplace is of increasing concern, with many scholars arguing that the government, as an employer, should set the standard for equitable treatment. While attention to equity in public administration has grown in research and practice, minimal work has comparatively explored discrimination in the public and non-public sectors. Drawing on data from the 2018 European Social Survey, this study explores possible differences in how public and non-public employees perce...

摘要：The current movement for evidence-based policymaking advocates the use of scientific knowledge in government. However, in practice, civil servants often prioritize different types of knowledge depending on their decision-making roles and the context. Using survey responses from 259 civil servants across three US state governments and 36 semistructured interviews, we employ a mixed-method approach to understand how civil servants strategically utilize various types of knowledge to meet differen...

摘要：Taxpayers often have conflicting views on what constitutes fair taxation and how tax revenues should be allocated. We work with Vermont legislators on the policy concern of sentiment in a property tax setting, given the Vermont Supreme Court ruling around the principle of educational equality. To explore tax sentiment in a complex and highly regulated environment, we use a behavioral public administration approach for our experiment. Our findings are threefold: (1) we identify four central the...
