摘要：Public services in Latin America face persistent challenges that affect access, quality, and fairness, particularly for women and marginalized groups. This study examines gendered differences in public service perceptions in Chile, focusing on quality, equality of treatment, and corruption in education, health, and law enforcement. Using data from the Index of Perceptions of Governance Quality at the Regional Level, we investigate whether women perceive public services more negatively than men...

摘要：Governments at all levels are grappling with AI's implications for public administration. Because federal actions often establish the principles guiding wider governance efforts, this study asks how US federal AI policies reflect-or fail to reflect-core public values. Drawing on a dataset of US federal AI policies from 2020 to 2023, we systematically analyze the risks, harms, and governance strategies employed across government-issued and enacted policy documents. Specifically, we analyze 120 ...

摘要：The emergency management profession and discipline is increasingly embracing social equity as a core value, yet limited attention has been paid to whether local emergency management organizations possess the capacity to implement equity-focused practices. Drawing on the Capacity Building Framework, this exploratory study analyzes data from a national panel survey of US emergency managers to examine the organizational capacity to advance social equity through the lens of adaptive capacity. The ...

摘要：This study compares governance structures, policy formulation and implementation of administrative digitalization at the local level in three countries with different administrative traditions: France, Germany and the United Kingdom. A new analytical framework is developed that allows for a systematic comparison of administrative digitalization in different national contexts. To this end, we draw on concepts from comparative public administration and public policy analysis and assess whether a...

摘要：While the digital transformation (DT) literature has acknowledged the relevance of collaboration, recent contributions have highlighted how governments are increasingly relying on centralization to address digitally induced change in the public sector and the adverse effects brought about by an overemphasis on collaboration. This research aims to contribute to the debate by answering the following research question: To what extent does public digital transformation rely on collaborative dynami...

摘要：Considering prior ways of seeing and practical mobilisations of Social Equity Budgeting (SEB), we suggest that prior conceptualisation, research and practice can be advanced by reflecting on insights from the philosophical and political literature on equity and justice. Here, we pursue such an approach and specifically contribute by considering how the writings of the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) provide critical insights informing possibilities for SEB. Our critical historic...

摘要：Understanding how local governments set goals when confronted with conflicting objectives is of crucial importance. Few studies have examined how pilot policies reshape local governments' goal-setting processes. This research takes China's Low-carbon city pilot policy as a case study to analyze how central pilot policy influences the prioritization of local government goals. The analysis yields three key insights: First, the pilot policy induces strategic shifts within local governments, leadi...

摘要：Do the same management practices lead to greater job satisfaction in poorer and richer countries? Despite the centrality of this question, prior research has not statistically assessed it through multi-country studies. We address this omission for one quintessential OECD country management reform: linking rewards-pay and promotion-to performance. We argue that performance rewards matter more for job satisfaction in richer than in poorer countries-for instance, because of fewer concerns with pa...

摘要：Recent scholarship on administrative burden has increasingly focused on psychological costs, design interventions, and digital burdens. This study combines these interests and examines the psychological costs of negative emotions during administrative encounters at varying levels of digital maturity. Building on affective events theory and employing facial coding in a controlled experiment, the study demonstrates that negative emotions rise during bureaucratic encounters, with frustration resu...

摘要：In an era of time constraints and publication pressures, scholars risk becoming entrenched in familiar approaches. Christopher Hood's public administration scholarship reminds us that excellence often arises from a broad exploration of ideas. This paper identifies three core elements of Hood's research practice. First, a deep skepticism toward dominant narratives, which often revealed hidden complexities. Second, careful selection of temporal frames: this often meant adopting remarkably long t...
