摘要：The current study contributes to practice in interagency performance management through a study of the system of federal grants awarded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to local Continuum of Care (CoC). The mixed methods design synthesizes a multivariate analysis of the relationship between grantee performance and funding levels, a national survey of CoCs and follow-up interviews with CoC administrators. Findings reveal little association between reported improvements in syst...

摘要：This article maps and discusses the state of public administration education in the Czech Republic. The main method is the multiple case study, covering three topics. The first case enhances information about the scope and scale of public administration in the country. The data suggest that, especially at public schools, the number of students is continuously falling, and public administration did not develop as a specific discipline. The second case focuses on scientific output and internatio...

摘要：Limited awareness impedes take-up in low-income utility assistance programs, which often suffer from low uptake. This study uses a field experiment to evaluate direct mail as a means of reducing learning burdens and thereby increasing participation in financial assistance programs offered by a large American sewer utility. Employing a conjoint design, we sent customers mailings that varied by medium (postcard vs. letter), frequency, color, sender (government vs. nonprofit), message framing (pe...

摘要：This article develops a typology of illiberal rule by identifying four distinct models of administrative transformation: neoauthoritarian, neopatrimonial, neoreactionary, and neoclientelist. Drawing on cases including Viktor Orb & aacute;n, Donald Trump, Javier Milei, and Andr & eacute;s Manuel L & oacute;pez Obrador, it argues that illiberal leaders reshape bureaucracies through diverse strategies of control, each rooted in specific conceptions of the state and particular modes of bureaucrati...

摘要：Although red tape remains a significant policy concern and despite meta-analytical research showing that it impacts employee and performance outcomes, research elucidating why and under which conditions it does so remains scarce. Using social cognitive theory, we first hypothesize that the relationship between red tape and job satisfaction is mediated by self-efficacy. Second, we argue that red tape is particularly harmful for job satisfaction in high-individualistic cultures. Using a survey d...

摘要：This study examines how the nature of public administration and local and regional governance affects domestic terrorism in 73 mixed and democratic countries from multiple regions and levels of development. In conducting a cross-national statistical analysis from 1991 to 2019 with standard political, economic, and social controls, and controlling for endogeneity, we find that domestic terrorism increases when public administration is more partial, biased, corrupt, and unreliable, and as local ...

摘要：Public administration research has increasingly turned to network analysis to understand complex inter-organizational and interpersonal dynamics. While the discipline has made significant progress in analyzing networks, it has yet to adequately address causality. This gap limits our ability to provide evidence-based insights to practitioners who must make strategic decisions within networks. This article calls for the systematic integration of causal design into network research. We identify c...

摘要：This conceptual study explores the complexity of public sector accountability, traditionally framed by principal-agent theory (PAT), which simplifies relationships through rigid contracts. The findings reveal how PAT's assumptions often misalign with the intricate realities of public sector accountability, which are better explained by complexity theories (CT). Contradictions between PAT and CT assumptions are highlighted, underlining the need for more flexible and dynamic accountability frame...
