摘要：Most public frontline employees work out of sight of management. Direct management through authority and incentives is therefore often challenging. We argue that managers can rely on change-oriented training as an effective management tool that can affect employee behavior and work as an alternative or supplement to commands and incentives. First, we outline the concept of change-oriented training and explain how it can direct the behavior of public employees towards organizational goals and p...

摘要：Many outputs and outcomes of relevance to public administration research are distributed in a way that escapes simple statistical descriptives. The field of public administration has generally been slow to acknowledge this fact, but in recent years the research field of public budgeting has experienced what we term a distributional turn reflected in a massive increase in publications studying distributions of changes in public budgets. Yet, distributional budget studies still rely on inadequat...

摘要：Public frontline employees are increasingly exposed to performance information, and their acceptance of this information as a valid, legitimate, and useful foundation for decision-making is central to the success of performance management systems. However, despite this, we know very little about what affects frontline employees acceptance or disapproval of performance information as well as their willingness to take causal responsibility for the information. We contribute to filling this gap b...

摘要：Claims that decentralization could improve government accountability and responsiveness led to its adoption as a policy objective across the globe. But recent empirical work finds little evidence of tier effects in practice; instead, significant variation exists even between most-similar bodies. Recognizing the value of Freedom of Information (FOI) in facilitating large-scale data collection, and that the UK's institutional diversity offers an important source of between- and within-tier varia...

摘要：In this study, we examine organizational responses to performance management in the public sector by studying Korean public agencies responses to their annual performance feedback. In doing so, we employed a regression discontinuity design that exploits the relationship between performance grades and the numeric inputs that determine the grades to uncover the impact of performance management on performance. Evidence suggests that the social and historical aspirations of public organizations si...

摘要：Public policymakers and managers use collaborative governance processes strategically to involve relevant stakeholders in developing plans, designing programs, and implementing policies. Although intuitive and normatively popular, such deliberative processes pose a tension between the prospective benefits of broader involvement (both instrumental benefits such as information and support for implementation and normative benefits related to representation) and the challenges of reaching agreemen...
