• Administrative Centralization and Bureaucratic Responsiveness: Evidence from the Food Stamp Program AI翻译
  作者：Kogan, Vladimir

  摘要：Delegation of administrative authority is commonly thought to involve a tradeoff between the discretion necessary for bureaucratic effectiveness and democratic responsiveness. In many contexts, however, discretion and responsiveness go hand-in-hand: Street-level bureaucrats may adapt their behavior to accommodate local norms and values, even when implementing the identical statutory language. I argue that this type of bureaucratic adaptation can explain local variation in participation rates i...

• Differing Goals of Limiting Autonomy: Legislatures, Governors, and State Ethics Commissions AI翻译
  作者：Rauh, Jonathan
  作者单位：University of North Carolina; East Carolina University
  摘要：Ethics commissions address policies that are external to the policy maker, the enforcement of which may be damaging to the policymaker. Given this potential for harm it is likely that delegation to commissions is transactional with elected officials controlling autonomy based on a set of specific goals. The author tests this argument by examining how executive and legislative control of a commission's autonomy impacts the effectiveness of a commission's oversight. Findings suggest that elected...

• Voices from the Frontline: Network Participation and Local Support for National Policy Reforms AI翻译
  作者：Zhu, Ling
  作者单位：University of Houston System; University of Houston
  摘要：In this article, I explore the determinants of frontline service organizations' support for and implementation of social policy reforms in the context of the US national health care reform. Ascribing to theories of inter-organizational collaboration, I argue that local service organizations, as the frontline agents of policy changes, develop their policy preferences and implementation activities in accordance with the collaborative networks, in which they situated. Network participation reduce...
• Organizational Correlates of Public Service Motivation: A Meta-analysis of Two Decades of Empirical Research AI翻译

  摘要：Public service motivation (PSM) has emerged as a central construct in the public administration literature and understanding its correlates has been a key issue. However, despite the large literature into the correlates of PSM, there is great disparity in findings, which precludes the ability to draw firm conclusions. To address this issue, we conducted a meta-analytic review of the organizational correlates of PSM. Our analysis included correlations derived from 46 studies and 48 independent ...
• Linking Network Structure to Collaborative Governance AI翻译

  摘要：How do social networks differ between highly collaborative and less collaborative forms of governance? Drawing on a prior study that characterized the level of collaboration for three federal hydropower relicensing processes, we develop exponential random graph models of meeting attendance and participation networks. We find that the highly collaborative relicensing process had lower overall density and a propensity for relatively fewer and stronger interactions. Reciprocity is highest in the ...
• The Impact of Empathy-Explaining Diversity in Street-Level Decision-Making AI翻译
  作者：Jensen, Didde Cramer; Pedersen, Line Bjornskov
  作者单位：Aarhus University; University of Southern Denmark
  摘要：This article investigates whether the empathic abilities of street-level bureaucrats have an impact on their discretionary decision-making. The impact of empathic abilities on decision-making is considered an important research question, as our knowledge remains limited as to the importance of personal ability on decisions. The article further contributes to the field of street-level bureaucracy by conducting a discrete choice experiment, an approach highly suitable for examining discretionary...
• Motivated Reasoning about Public Performance: An Experimental Study of How Citizens Judge the Affordable Care Act AI翻译
  作者：James, Oliver; Van Ryzin, Gregg G.
  作者单位：University of Exeter; Rutgers University System; Rutgers University New Brunswick
  摘要：Public performance reporting is often promoted as a means to better inform citizens' judgments of public services. However, political psychology has found evidence of motivated reasoning, with citizens' accuracy motives often supplanted by biased searching for and evaluation of information to defend prior political attitudes, beliefs or identities. We conducted a survey experiment to evaluate motivated reasoning about the performance of the US Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare), whi...
