摘要：Increasing environmental complexity and uncertainty have made organizational resilience a key concern in public administration. Yet its inherent ambiguity calls for a systematic examination of its conceptualizations, operationalizations, and applications. This meta-narrative review synthesizes 49 studies, advancing the discourse by identifying three distinct narratives-maintenance, recovery, and adaptability-and exploring how they intersect when public institutions encounter acute shocks versu...

摘要：Mandated networks, as a distinct form of collaborative governance, have received increasing scholarly attention in recent years. Yet their effectiveness remains debated, and the mechanisms through which mandates shape interorganizational collaboration in crisis response are not well understood. Drawing on institutional and network perspectives, this article examines the direct and indirect effects of mandates on collaborative tie formation during crises. Using social network analysis of collab...

摘要：This study examines whether street-level bureaucrats' preferences toward algorithmic decision support (ADS) induce a unilateral shift of technology-related risks onto clients of the public employment service. Expanding on public value theory and research on moral agency in public service work, we argue that case managers' choices of ADS designs are shaped by a plurality of professional, service, and efficiency values. To test this argument, we conducted a conjoint experiment on a representativ...

摘要：Innovation is desirable for the public sector. Yet understanding what and how some innovation projects survive and thrive in a competitive landscape-or public sector innovation-is often challenging. The challenges not only rest in the invisibility of the features of an innovation to human eyes but also in the lack of their accessibility for analysis. This study showcases a methodological framework using a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) for scale development and synthetic data generat...

摘要：Aggressive use of the administrative power of the presidency is a major source of public administrative concern about the health of American democracy. Many of these powers stem from executive branch reorganization in the late 1930s, which was conceived and implemented by founding figures in the modern field. Fear for democracy defined reorganization. Reorganizers elaborated a working theory about the conditions under which strong presidential administration could preserve and strengthen democ...

摘要：Max Weber's rational-legal bureaucracy remains a vital safeguard amid populist backlash, civil service politicization, and democratic backsliding. This article reframes bureaucracy as a conditional democratic safeguard-one that depends on ethical orientation and professional integrity, not technical capacity alone. When legality is hollowed out through obedience or anticipatory compliance, institutions corrode from within. Evidence from recent cases of executive politicization illustrates how ...
