  摘要：This research explores administrative capacities to explain the variation in the public's experience of administrative burdens. Through a qualitative exploratory case study based on semi-structured interviews in Mexico, the paper argues that administrative capacities can structure or shape administrative burdens. The effect can be either positive, where burdens are alleviated or transferred to the state, or negative, where burdens are amplified or newly created. This study identified six admin...

  摘要：Robustness has recently taken center stage as an emerging paradigm to cope with turbulence and build back better toward new normalcy. Existing literature has shown how robust governance, with its mix of flexible adaptation and proactive innovation, is well-suited to addressing turbulence. However, there remains a gap in understanding the empirical variations within robust governance arrangements. In this article, we address three questions: how (1) structures, (2) coordination mechanisms, and ...

  摘要：Despite the ubiquity of self-reported data in social science and public administration research, widespread concerns persist regarding common method variance (CMV) and its potential to distort observed correlations. In this article, we estimate CMV's biasing effects through five preregistered studies (including eight survey experiments) with UK and Chinese civil servants (N = 3,159), focusing on the relationship between public service motivation (PSM) and job performance-a proposition of PSM t...
• Compliance under distrust: do people comply less when they feel distrusted? AI翻译

  摘要：Several studies indicate that people are less compliant when they feel distrusted. This can pose a challenge for public administration, as some forms of control may signal distrust towards people and could undermine their motivation to comply. In this study, we question whether feeling distrusted is necessarily negative for compliance. In two experiments on tax compliance (N = 239), we examine the case in which the individual is distrusted by the authority. Mediation analyses indicate that dis...
• Anti-corruption efforts and citizen-initiated accountability: evidence from administrative litigation AI翻译

  摘要：Despite widespread recognition that institutional environment shapes citizen behavior, we have limited understanding of how anti-corruption efforts influence citizens' willingness to challenge government actions through formal accountability mechanisms. This study examines how provincial leaders' corruption convictions affect citizen-initiated administrative litigation in China, exploring the mediating role of judicial remedies and the moderating effect of local corruption environments. Drawin...
• Partisan bias and performance improvement efforts in program administration: evidence from unemployment insurance programs in the American states AI翻译

  摘要：One critical way that public agencies can improve administrative performance is through its discretionary efforts at detecting program errors. This requires an alignment between political and administrative objectives within executive branch governance. Specifically, we hypothesize that agency efforts for detecting benefit overpayment errors from state unemployment insurance (UI) programs will be higher under Republican partisan gubernatorial control of state UI agency heads compared to Democr...

  摘要：Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) is promoted as a model that improves results, enhances quality, reduces costs, and increases accountability. It has become a standard element of government contracting worldwide and a key component of newer pay-for-success models. However, scholarly evaluations remain scattered and often lack a solid theoretical foundation. This study conducts a meta-analysis of 740 observations from 38 studies across 10 service areas to evaluate genuine performance. Utilizi...
