摘要：Research has reported at length on how interorganizational networks can be effectively governed in public service delivery. In contrast, the way such networks specifically organize for reliability is strikingly absent from the literature. We substantiate the idea of High-Reliability Networks (or HRNs) by drawing from the literature on network governance and exploring networked emergency management in a large German city. Herein, we analyze an unprecedented dataset on a network's development, c...

摘要：With the growing body of literature on governance styles in which nonprofit organizations are involved in creating and implementing public services, there is a need for robust evidence on the effects of public funding on nonprofit revenues. This paper systematically reviews previous studies on the crowding-out hypothesis, which holds that private charitable donations are lower in situations of higher government support and vice versa. We find that about two-thirds of previous estimates find a ...

摘要：This study investigates if the collaborative process differs among a group of public programs involved in varying levels of interorganizational activities. Thomson and Perry (2006) suggest five process dimensions underlie collaboration: governance, administration, norms of trust, mutuality, and organizational autonomy. While these dimensions are clearly unique, it is unclear if any of these dimensions are necessary or sufficient for varying degrees of interorganizational involvement. Inventory...

摘要：Public Service Motivation (PSM) is a topic that has generated considerable interest among Public Administration scholars. Research on PSM has mainly focused on either defining what PSM is and how this construct can be measured or on testing how PSM affects individual and organizational variables. However, very little is known about how the motivation to serve the public interest is influenced by personality. We evaluate the psychological antecedents of PSM by distinguishing two classes of moti...

摘要：Policy and public management scholars have long theorized about the fragmentation of policy governance across numerous agencies, yet the effects of concentrated or dispersed governance on outcomes of the target population are largely unknown. Child policy is a policy field where dispersion has raised particular concerns, leading several states to consolidate governance for children's programs in recent years. After presenting arguments both for and against the dispersion of policies across age...

摘要：This article builds theoretical linkages between the political mobility of local officials and the dynamic diffusion of innovation in decentralized authoritarian China. We built two datasets consisting of city-level data on pro-business administrative licensing ( business registration) reform and micro-level data on officials' career histories in 281 Chinese cities between 1997 and 2012. By comparing empirical approaches between traditional event history analysis and piecewise constant exponen...

摘要：How do reputational threats affect agency outputs? We undertake quantitative and qualitative analyses of reputation and outputs data regarding the fight against welfare fraud by the main service delivery agency for the Australian government in the field of social policy. We find that an agency's response to reputational threats is endogenously differential both within the set of agency outputs and between agency outputs and other activities (a pattern we termed responsive change). For the form...

摘要：Performance budgeting schemes in the public sector have to operate with imperfect performance measures. We argue that these imperfections generate incentives for the potential recipients of performance-based funds to use up resources in socially wasteful window dressing. Using a theoretical model, we analyze the trade-off between the efficiency-enhancing effect of performance budgeting (PB) and the social waste it induces. We show that the social waste from window dressing may outweigh the gai...
