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：Administrative restructuring is an organizational phenomenon suggested to improve under-represented groups' managerial representation by disrupting networks and institutions. However, extant tests of a 'disruption hypothesis' are collectively inconclusive. We elaborate and test it with a qualitative-to-quantitative study of local health agency managers and mergers across the Italian NHS from 2014 to 2020. Agency leader interviews reveal disruption indicators: number of agencies merging, staff ...

摘要：Although qualitative research is typically seen as working with verbal text, visual representations are frequently used in qualitative research in our field. This paper examines visualization as a research practice, aiming to encourage its reflective use and further development. We contribute to the literature on qualitative research in public administration, first, by discussing key concepts and the work visuals do. Second, we explore the way visualization can enrich the research process by s...

摘要：As governments increasingly digitalize client encounters, there are growing concerns that standardized platforms may reduce bureaucratic responsiveness, particularly for historically underserved communities. We examine whether frontline workers help close that gap through their use of civic-tech platforms. Analyzing 8037 service requests from Newark's Open311 system (2019-2022) using machine learning classification and spatial analysis, we find that frontline workers submitted nearly 25% of al...

摘要：This manuscript systematically reviews 221 peer-reviewed studies on rural public sector organizations published in 15 leading public administration journals between 1980 and 2022. It addresses three core questions: (1) How has rurality been conceptualized and measured? (2) What outcomes are attributed to rurality? and (3) Where is further research most needed? Key trends in publication patterns, geographic focus, citation networks, research design, and measurement strategies are analyzed. Find...

摘要：The racist cop stereotype is one of the most prominent social representations of law enforcement in the United States. Drawing on theories of stereotype threat and stigma, this article suggests that this negative stereotype creates an identity threat that heightens anxiety and stress among law enforcement officers, increasing the risks of their burnout. Using survey data collected from officers in a state-level law enforcement agency in 2021, we find that White officers, as well as those who r...
