摘要：The United Nations' fifth Sustainable Development Goal calls for gender equality and empowerment. Gender budgeting (GB) has been proposed as a potential mechanism to reduce gender disparities. This is a novel approach to budgeting that considers the impact of public spending on women and other underrepresented groups. Despite its growing popularity, spreading to over 80 countries since its launch in the 1980s, the effectiveness of GB remains less understood. This study tests whether GB has led...

摘要：The complex nature of top public managerial work is widely acknowledged in theory but rarely examined empirically. Existing research has mostly analyzed bivariate relationships among core components of top managerial work in government, including managers' attributes, practices, outcomes, and contexts. Drawing on a systems-based framework, we investigate how effective top managerial work unfolds as a complex relational practice. We analyze seven cases of long-serving, distinguished Chilean sen...

摘要：Artificial Intelligence (AI) is adopted in public organizations as a transformative innovation, yet how value prioritizations unfold in AI adoption processes remains underexplored. Therefore, we ask: How do public values unfold in AI adoption processes in public organizations? We conducted a qualitative case study of an AI adoption process at the radiology department of a Dutch academic hospital after the decision to adopt is made and before implementation, using ethnographic fieldwork, interv...

摘要：Existing research on citizen participation in co-production has largely focused on instrumental factors, with limited attention to value-driven motivations. This study investigates the role of value-driven factors in shaping citizens' willingness to engage in co-production, specifically examining benefit creation and responsibility-driven motivations. It develops an analytical framework and tests it through a survey experiment on community environmental governance. Results show that both publi...

摘要：Regulatory instruments to manage the COVID-19 pandemic have been the object of rich scholarly debates, primarily focused on early national responses to the crisis. We investigate variation in sub-national regulatory approaches when a crisis is normalized, its association with competing political ideas about the health-economy trade-off and the coercion-persuasion continuum, and the specificities of the socio-economic context to be regulated. We systematically compare the regulatory approaches ...

摘要：AI systems in public administration challenge the premise that value creation arises from managers' strategic mediation among the vertices of Moore's strategic triangle: Public value, legitimacy, and operational capacity. AI imposes new logics that reshape vertices and their interaction dynamics. Critically, these transformations become entrenched through what we term algorithmic public value lock-in: the crystallization of contingent value definitions into durable technical infrastructures re...

摘要：The representative bureaucracy literature asserts that minority personnel in public organizations can promote their social group either through their own behavior or by influencing other staff members or focal citizens. However, these phenomena have not been examined in wartime settings in ethnically homogeneous and heterogeneous organizations. Through the qualitative paradigm, we compare ethnically homogeneous schools (with only Jewish or Arab students and staff) and ethnically mixed schools ...

摘要：Collaborative governance is becoming a practical imperative. At the same time, resolving complex public affairs could offer opportunities to overcome bottlenecks, while Artificial Intelligence (AI) could help. This study draws on polycentric governance theory and multilayer network theory to explain why collaborative governance could occur and how it could be influenced by AI, respectively. Mathematical deductions from both micro and macro perspectives are employed to reinforce this theoretica...

摘要：Democratic governments can legitimately expect permanent civil servants to undertake functionally politicized tasks, such as providing political-tactical advice. However, safeguarding the neutrality and legitimacy of a permanent civil service in the context of functional politicization necessitates that political considerations do not override professional judgment or impede the delivery of free, frank and fearless advice. Although existing research has documented functional politicization in ...

摘要：Participatory budgeting can encourage meaningful community engagement in all phases of the budgeting cycle to promote social equity. However, participatory budgeting administrators often experience administrative and political challenges in establishing participatory processes that effectively promote social equity. Using an integrated social equity framework that builds on the concept of sustainable governance, we create an implementation framework to evaluate PB systems and guide practitione...
