  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...
• How ensembling AI and public managers improves decision-making AI翻译

  摘要：Artificial intelligence (AI) applications transform public sector decision-making. However, most research conceptualizes AI as a form of specialized decision-support tool. In contrast, this study presents a different form of human-AI collaboration, the concept of human-AI ensembles, where public managers and AI tackle the same decision tasks, rather than specializing in certain subtasks. This is particularly relevant for many public sector decisions, where neither human nor AI predictions have...
• Why are policy actors so distrustful of each other, and how? Cognitive, behavioral, and endogenous relational sources of perceived distrust in governance networks AI翻译

  摘要：In the age of collaboration and shared governance, paradoxically, distrust manifests frequently in government and political institutions and is seen as dysfunctional to democracy, making governing networks challenging. Yet, previous studies emphasize the significance of promoting trust more than addressing distrust in networks. Distrust differs from the absence of trust. It involves relationships characterized by doubt, suspicion, or opportunism. Relatively little is known about why distrustin...
• Tax salience and citizen evaluation of government AI翻译
  作者：Schwegman, David J.; Kim, Yusun
  作者单位：American University; Seoul National University (SNU)
  摘要：This paper examines how tax salience-or how aware individuals are of their property tax payments that finance local public services-correlates with citizens' evaluation of their local government. Drawing on theories of expectation formation for public services and fiscal illusion, we hypothesize that reduced tax salience is associated with lower normative expectations, which will correlate with increased reported satisfaction with their local government and a higher willingness to support addi...
• When does employee turnover matter? Analyzing the role of organizational memory in the federal IT workforce AI翻译
  作者：Hong, Ji Hyeun
  作者单位：University System of Georgia; University of Georgia
  摘要：This paper proposes a theory of organizational memory predicting that task knowledge retained in organizational structures (i.e., agency centralization and task standardization) buffers the disruptive effects of employee turnover. Using a dataset of information technology (IT) projects implemented by 94 US federal agencies between FY2015 and FY2021, estimates from fractional panel probit models reveal that both centralized authorities under chief information officers and task standardization r...
• Navigating ambiguity in crisis: the impact of organizational goal ambiguity on public sector performance in the wake of exogenous shocks AI翻译
  作者：Jeong, Youkyoung; Song, Jongdae
  作者单位：Korea University; Gyeongkuk National University
  摘要：This study advances a deeper understanding of the antecedents and mediators of goal ambiguity within public organizations. Expanding upon the established notion of the negative relationship between goal ambiguity and performance in public organizations, this study goes one step further by exploring how exogenous shocks may exacerbate this adverse impact. Focusing on the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent responses taken by the South Korean government, this study aims to offer a...
• The weakness of weak ties: do social capital investments among leaders pay off during times of disaster? AI翻译
  作者：Nowell, Brand; Steelman, Toddi
  作者单位：North Carolina State University; Duke University
  摘要：The theoretical literature on social capital and disasters, as well as conventional wisdom, suggests the importance of pre-disaster relationship building among leaders of responding organizations and agencies for disaster readiness and response. Often implied, but rarely tested empirically, research presumes a positive and linear relationship associated with investments in social capital for effective disaster response. Any amount of relationship building is better than none, but more is bette...
• Cross-sector collaboration in cities: learning journey or blame game? AI翻译

  摘要：The success of cross-sector collaborations (CSCs) in cities is mixed, and important questions remain about what distinguishes effective from ineffective collaborations. This comparative case study examined nine CSCs in three US cities, focusing on three public policy areas: education, economic development, and public safety. Nine group interviews, 110 individual interviews, and analysis of archival documents revealed common patterns that allow us to build grounded theory about the roots of CSC...
• Does enforcement style influence citizen trust in regulatory agencies? An experiment in six countries AI翻译

  摘要：Establishing and maintaining citizen trust is vital for the effectiveness and long-term viability of regulatory agencies. However, limited empirical research has been conducted on the relationship between regulatory action and citizen trust. This article addresses this gap by investigating the influence of various regulatory enforcement styles on citizen trust. We conducted a pre-registered and representative survey experiment in six countries (n = 5,765): Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Israel, th...
• Financial performance of state-owned enterprises: does political ideology play a role? AI翻译
  作者：de Pilla, Leonardo Henrique Lima; Peci, Alketa; Leite, Rodrigo de Oliveira
  摘要：Corporatization in the public sector entails decentralizing the provision of public goods and services to more autonomous entities, including state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Research indicates that the decision to corporatize is driven, among other factors, by the pursuit of financial sustainability in public organizations. A continuing debate revolves around whether the political ideology of incumbents is linked to the creation of SOEs. However, limited attention has been given to understandi...
