• Developing the Theory of Pragmatic Public Management through Classic Grounded Theory Methodology AI翻译
  作者：Hafer, Joseph A.
  作者单位：University of Memphis
  摘要：Public administration scholars argue that further research is needed to understand ordinary day-to-day behaviors of the traditional government agency in the era of inter-organization collaboration and governance, including reconciling traditional bureaucratic management theories with modern-day cross-sector governance theories. I answered this call by utilizing classic grounded theory methodology to discover and theorize the latent patterns of behavior of such an agency-the Pennsylvania Bureau...
• Moderating Diversity, Collective Commitment, and Discrimination: The Role of Ethical Leaders in the Public Sector AI翻译
  作者：Moon, Kuk-Kyoung; Christensen, Robert K.

  摘要：Despite public administration's growing interest in personnel diversity and ethical leadership, little is known about the effectiveness of ethical leadership in managing diverse public workforces. Can ethical leadership moderate the relationships between demographic diversity and key organizational outcomes? To answer, we synthesize four theories about demographic diversity, ethical leadership, and inclusion: social categorization theory, social exchange theory, social learning theory, and opt...
• Administrative Groupings and Equality in Public Service Provision AI翻译

  摘要：Scarcity in public service agencies requires a prioritization of resources, and inherent to all prioritizations is a comparison of the cases. Despite the amount of research that has been conducted on the prioritization process, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the underlying comparison. Drawing on insight from the street-level bureaucracy literature, this study suggests that the administrative grouping of citizens in public service agencies influences the comparison so that the a...
• Managing Diversity Differently: The External Environment and Cross-Sector Differences in Diversity Management AI翻译

  摘要：A growing literature identifies the external environment as a key driver of diversity management in frontline public services. With many public services spanning the public, nonprofit, and private sectors, the degree to which ownership moderates the link between the environment and diversity management practice is an important area that has received little attention. Using longitudinal data on nearly 4,000 American hospitals from 2008 to 2012, we explore how public, nonprofit, and private hosp...
• Keeping Kids in Care: Reducing Administrative Burden in State Child Care Development Fund Policy AI翻译
  作者：Jenkins, Jade Marcus; Nguyen, Tutrang
  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Irvine; Mathematica
  摘要：With limited federal requirements for block grants, states have developed very different welfare policies, often with onerous recertification or reporting requirements, creating barriers to continuous program enrollment. Examined through the framework of Administrative Burden, our study examines how changes to burdensome policies in states' Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) programs affect the length of children's continuous enrollment in child care through the CCDF program, known as subsidy ...
• Exit, Voice, and Sabotage: Public Service Motivation and Guerrilla Bureaucracy in Times of Unprincipled Political Principals AI翻译

  摘要：Democratic backsliding has multiplied unprincipled political principals: governments with weak commitment to the public interest. Why do some bureaucrats engage in voice and guerrilla sabotage to thwart policies against the public interest under unprincipled principals, yet others do not? Despite its centrality in contemporary governance, this conundrum has not seen quantitative research. We address this gap with survey evidence from 1,700 Brazilian public servants during the Temer Presidency,...
• Women and Men Municipal Managers Doing and Undoing Gender AI翻译
  作者：Bishu, Sebawit G.; Heckler, Nuri
  作者单位：University of Colorado System; University of Colorado Denver; Harvard University; University of Nebraska System
  摘要：Drawing on the literature from critical gender studies and feminist critiques of bureaucracy, we explore the demands for gender work created when women occupy traditionally masculine roles in municipal government management. The article traces the work performed when municipal managers and municipalities respond to gendered demands, maintain gender perceptions, and negotiate gendered expectations, collectively referred to as gender work. To examine this process, we apply inductive qualitative ...
• Thanks, but No Thanks: Preferences towards Teleworking Colleagues in Public Organizations AI翻译

  摘要：Over the last decades, one of the most significant changes in the workplaces of government agencies around the world has been the introduction of telework. The relatively scant public administration research on this innovation and on its semantic or substantive variations such as telecommuting, home-work, remote work, and smart work has examined its effects on teleworkers and only recently on non-teleworkers. However, scholars have overlooked the relational dynamics triggered by telework. This...
• How Does Public Disclosure of Performance Information Affect Politicians' Attitudes towards Effort Allocation? Evidence from a Survey Experiment AI翻译
  作者：Desmidt, Sebastian; Meyfroodt, Kenn
  作者单位：Ghent University
  摘要：Does relative performance information (PI) still impact politicians' attitudes when the potential for external blame or credit is limited? And, if not, is the active disclosure of PI about government activities with a low propensity for media attention an effective strategy for increasing the effect of PI? Despite the tendency to progressively disclose PI, empirical evidence on the effectiveness of publicly disclosing PI is almost non-existent. Hence, a survey embedded experiment was developed...
• Guiding or Following the Crowd? Strategic Communication as Reputational and Regulatory Strategy AI翻译
  作者：Muller, Moritz; Braun, Caelesta
  作者单位：Leiden University - Excl LUMC; Leiden University
  摘要：A recently emerging literature demonstrates that reputational concerns explain why regulatory agencies strategically communicate and engage with their manifold audience. We complement this literature by examining the potential of strategic communication as a reputational and regulatory strategy. Based on a reputational approach to public agencies, we assume agencies to strategically diversify between proactively or reactively engaging with public concerns raised by their audiences, depending o...
