摘要：Recent research has examined various aspects of the government's use of artificial intelligence (AI), including its implications for accountability as well as the policy and management recommendations proposed to address some related concerns. However, two important gaps remain and need further empirical exploration. First, it is unclear why accountability in AI-based system use is viewed as such a critical issue. Second, it is uncertain to what extent existing policy and management recommenda...

摘要：With fewer young people entering public service, public employers and the corresponding trade unions aim at signaling that they offer attractive working conditions. However, in the struggle for attractive conditions, labor market conflicts occur between public employers and public sector unions when bargains fail. According to signaling theory, such conflicts could serve as negative signals and thus decrease attraction to the profession. We investigate the signaling effects of two large-scale ...

摘要：Faced with diverse and complex demands from citizens, the government has consistently sought ways to enhance its ability to respond. Metaphorically, citizens' needs can be viewed as locks, and the government requires keys to unlock them. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an innovative new key offering a fresh paradigm for unlocking the door to high citizen satisfaction. Drawing on government responsiveness theory, this study applies a 2 & times; 3 between-subjects survey experiment to explore th...

摘要：Existing research on public network effectiveness has largely overlooked the issue of performance stratification in hierarchical systems, failing to adequately answer the critical question, effective for whom? Focusing on China's business environment governance (BEG) networks (2016-2022), this study employs panel fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (Panel fsQCA) to identify which governance configurations-composed of formalized management strategies, network structure, and resource carr...

摘要：The recent decriminalization of abortion marked a crucial step toward improved reproductive care on the island of Ireland. However, this has not translated into fully accessible abortion provision-barriers, including inaccessible services, persist, leaving gaps that public administration has not formally addressed. In response, informal actors, particularly abortion accompaniers, may continue playing a critical role in enabling care. Drawing on asynchronous online discussions with 19 individua...

摘要：A strength of public administration as a discipline is that it is concerned with both the analysis and advocacy. It explores the working of public institutions and wider systems of governance but also proposes reform mechanisms to improve their functioning. But these combined tasks are often conducted as if they were in separate worlds, to the detriment of the advocacy role. This failing, in turn, leads the advocacy arm of public administration regularly down a path of misunderstanding the nat...

摘要：Governments in many democratic countries have the mandate to require local authorities to address failures in the management and performance of the public services that they provide. Such policies often involve the takeover of authorities to implement improvements assumed to result in organizational turnaround. However, critics argue that locally-directed change remains a more reliable means for achieving service transformation. To cast light on these issues, this paper applies a quasi-experim...

摘要：Public service exams are extremely competitive in East Asia. Does a high entry bar impede people with high public service motivation (PSM) from taking the exam? If so, what kinds of people are interested in taking a difficult public service exam? We employ a randomized control trial (RCT) to manipulate perceptions of exam competitiveness, using 1804 survey responses from online advertisements targeting individuals interested in public service careers in South Korea and Taiwan. OLS regression a...

摘要：This study aims to analyze the complexities of paradoxes in digital government. Through a focused analysis of 34 selected articles, adhering to PRISMA guidelines, it codifies seven paradoxes, categorized into internal governance paradoxes and external engagement paradoxes. These paradoxes arise from conflicting values among governments, employees, citizens, and businesses, reflecting both the intricacies of decision-making within government organizations and the dynamics of their interactions ...

摘要：How do policy entrepreneurs change policy when politicians are not directly involved in the process? While public policy scholars have examined the conditions under which politicians refrain from direct engagement in policy design, they have paid less attention to the strategies policy entrepreneurs employ in the absence of political actors. Drawing on textual analysis and 30 in-depth interviews with members of the Roim Rachok (Looking Ahead) program, which facilitates the inclusion of individ...
