• Reducing Minority Discrimination at the Front Line-Combined Survey and Field Experimental Evidence AI翻译
  作者：Andersen, Simon Calmar; Guul, Thorbjom Sejr

  摘要：Despite laws of universalistic treatment, bureaucrats have been shown to discriminate against minorities. A crucial question for public administration is how bureaucracies can be organized in ways that minimize illegitimate discrimination. Especially, since theories suggest that prejudices happen unintentionally and particularly under high workload, bureaucrats' working conditions may be important. Four randomized experiments support the notion that bureaucrats discriminate as a way of coping ...
• Mixed Methods in Public Administration Research: Selecting, Sequencing, and Connecting AI翻译
  作者：Mele, Valentina; Belardinelli, Paolo

  摘要：Over the last decades, the use of mixed methods (MMs) has been burgeoning across social sciences. MMs have also been recommended as a viable research strategy for conducting studies in Public Administration. Through a systematic review conducted on seven journals, the article explores the extent to which the field has seized this opportunity and how it has done so. The review is organized around a framework that offers guidance on the analysis and design of MMs and is based on three pillars: s...

  摘要：Replication is an important mechanism through which broad lessons for theory and practice can be drawn in the applied interdisciplinary social science field of public administration. We suggest a common replication framework for public administration that is illustrated by experimental work in the field. Drawing on knowledge from other disciplines, together with our experience in replicating several experiments on topics such as decision making, organizational rules, and government-citizen rel...
• A Reviewer's Guide to Qualitative Rigor AI翻译

  摘要：Institutions are useful for advancing methodologies within disciplines. Through required coursework, doctoral students are indoctrinated into basic guidelines and frameworks that provide a common foundation for scholars to interact with one another. Lacking such forums in many of our doctoral granting institutions (Stout 2013), the field of public management continues to struggle with an ambivalence toward qualitative approaches. Lack of shared understanding concerning basic tenets of qualitat...
• Public Goods, Private Partnerships, and Political Institutions AI翻译
  作者：Bertelli, Anthony M.
  作者单位：Bocconi University
  摘要：Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have become an essential vehicle for infrastructure development worldwide. Theoretical arguments primarily focus on build-operate-transfer (BOT) agreements as a canonical form of PPP, though they rarely discuss the political underpinnings of governments decisions to enter such agreements. How does a governments longevity, stability, and its capacity to raise revenue make BOTs more attractive than other types of partnerships? Extending recent theoretical advan...

• Are Public Sector Managers a Bureaucratic Burden? The Case of English Public Hospitals AI翻译
  作者：Veronesi, Gianluca; Kirkpatrick, Ian; Altanlar, Ali
  作者单位：University of Bristol; University of Warwick; University of Leeds
  摘要：Although managers are, globally, a central part of the new public management reform agenda, in recent years, policy makers and the media have raised concerns about their effectiveness and contribution. In some countries, notably the United Kingdom and the United States, this debate has been heavily influenced by Public Choice Theory (PCT), which depicts bureaucrats as rent seeking, self-serving individuals. In this study, focusing on the case of acute care hospital trusts in the English Nation...
• Using Large-Scale Social Media Experiments in Public Administration: Assessing Charitable Consequences of Government Funding of Nonprofits AI翻译

  摘要：In this article, we introduce and showcase how social media can be used to implement experiments in public administration research. To do so, we pre-registered a placebo-controlled field experiment and implemented it on the social media platform Facebook. The purpose of the experiment was to examine whether government funding to nonprofit organizations has an effect on charitable donations. Theories on the interaction between government funding and charitable donations stipulate that governmen...
• Antipolitics and the Hindrance of Performance Management in Education AI翻译

  摘要：Performance management reforms are a popular way to try to create responsive and improving government. These types of reforms have become commonplace in education policy and the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) has been one of the leading venues for research on these topics. However, under-analyzed are the ways in which performance management policies represent antipolitical bent to education reform. We outline an argument that avoiding political decisionmaking in f...
