摘要：A central aim of contracting is to introduce competition into public service delivery. Public organizations are facing calls to generate more competition for their contracts, yet there is conflicting evidence about the effects of competition in practice. This research aims to explain some of those mixed findings by investigating the effects of different levels of competition on contract management. It examines two crucial elements of contract management that previous literature has shown can s...

摘要：Few regulatory reforms are as celebrated or emulated as the performance measurement system of Sunnyvale, California, which inspired the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 and countless other national and local efforts. This study presents the first longitudinal, cross-programmatic analysis of a performance measurement system, introducing a digital archival approach to analyze 152 performance indicators across 35,000 pages of documents from 1984 to 2023, supplemented with interviews...

摘要：Recent developments in also established democracies have made clear that public administration and management research alike have neglected giving scholarly attention to public organizations as institutions. Drawing upon research on leadership of institutions and leadership in public organizations we suggest a theory of public institutional leadership. Public institutional leadership reconnects public management with democracy by suggesting three central dimensions of leadership behaviors that...

摘要：Support for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is a core public value and central to public administration. Yet, as diversity is realized through shifts in employee representation, organizational norms, and implementation practices, some members of socially privileged groups (e.g., White employees, men) experience discomfort and anxiety in intergroup interactions and perceive status or resource threat. This creates a gap between diversity-as-communicated (how organizations communicate the ...

摘要：Inclusive leadership has become a central theme in public management research to foster equity and workplace inclusiveness. While prior studies demonstrate its potential to enhance inclusiveness, psychological safety, and performance, existing conceptualizations and measures remain fragmented, emphasizing leader attitudes rather than observable behaviors. This article addresses these gaps by advancing a behavior-focused conceptualization of inclusive leadership, grounded in an inclusivity pers...

摘要：Local governments offer untapped insights into public organizational change. Despite their large number and variety, internal departmental dynamics are poorly understood, with implications for information processing, service delivery, and democratic accessibility. Using data from 272 municipalities collected 5 years apart (2014-2019) analysis finds that 88% changed at least one department name and 69% experienced an increase or decrease in the total number of departments. To understand what co...

摘要：The personal background and traits of top organizational leaders matter for organizational strategies, policymaking, and outcomes. Drawing on upper echelons theory, imprinting theory, and scholarship on managerial decision-making and the transferability of private-sector management approaches to the public sector, this study examines the relationship between US governors' top business experience and budgetary outcomes. Competing hypotheses are proposed and tested to assess whether governors wi...

摘要：Implementation programs, such as demonstration programs (DPs), have garnered significant attention in both research and practice. Existing literature on DPs predominantly focuses on their impact on participant performance, overlooking the mechanisms through which DPs shape policy implementation processes. This study investigates how DPs are systematically constructed to facilitate broader implementation by disentangling their core design requirements. Through a mixed-methods analysis of China'...
