摘要：Politically motivated personnel turnover affects government bureaucracy's legitimacy and performance. To understand the conditions of meritocracy, the article explores how variability in hierarchy moderates the effect of government transitions on bureaucratic turnover. Event history analysis of the careers of 948 Norwegian senior bureaucrats (1884-2024) reveals that the organizational layers separating bureaucrats from ministers moderate the effect of government change differently depending on...

摘要：Public officials are traditionally thought to be more risk-averse than private sector employees, yet consistent empirical evidence is lacking. Prospect theory posits that individuals' risk decision preferences are influenced by the framing of gains or losses, but it does not distinguish whether gains and losses pertain to personal or public interests. This study incorporates the type of interest with gain-loss framing to construct decision scenarios and compare risk preferences between public ...

摘要：This article examines blame shifting, where elected officials attempt to deflect blame for negative outcomes onto other actors. While prior research suggests that citizens generally disapprove of this tactic, this study re-evaluates how contextual factors shape these reactions, focusing specifically on cases of public service failure. In many areas of public management, service delivery is delegated or contracted out to public or private organizations, raising the question of whether such inst...

摘要：Top managers hold a significant position in the functioning of public organizations. While existing studies have predominantly investigated the impacts of individual characteristics of top managers on public organizational outcomes, limited attention has been given to heterogeneity, especially nondemographic heterogeneity, among them. This study focuses on the impact of language dissimilarity among top managers in public organizations and proposes that the dissimilarity can negatively influenc...

This study explores how leaders manage this institutional complexity through a multilevel framework, drawing on a case study of a tri-sector partnership developing technology for disaster management. Based on evidence from 27 interviews, observations, and documentary material, we identify the leadership repertoire and, as our core contribution, uncover...

摘要：What makes accountability work? To answer this question, public administration research has long focused on formal mechanisms--rules, audits, and performance indicators-intended to ensure that public employees answer for their actions. Yet these mechanisms alone rarely determine how accountability plays out in practice. Rather, it depends on how they are recognized, internalized, and enacted by those expected to comply. This realization has spurred growing interest in how employees perceive an...
