摘要:This article brings together resource-based theory and contingency theory to analyze organizational capability in the public sector. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis is used to identify configurations of organizational attributes (department size, structural complexity, agencification, personnel instability, use of temporary employees), associated with high and low organizational capability in UK central government departments. Findings identify a single core configuration of organiz...

摘要:This article examines the relationships among task goal clarity, task significance, and individual-level task performance. While both goals and task significance are important in extant public-management research, a theoretical integration of the variables is needed. This study makes the theoretical contribution of explaining how these variables might work together in a public organization. In addition to examining the relationship between task goal clarity and performance, we consider how tas...

摘要:Based on the models proposed by Provan and Milward and Provan and Kenis, this article employed a mixed-methods approach to study the determinants of the effectiveness of governance networks. The article is based on 22 neighborhood governance networks in Beijing with each network consisting of public, business, and civic organizations. Linear regression was used to identify independent variables that exert statistically significant influence over network effectiveness, and the fuzzy set Qualita...

摘要:Despite considerable evidence indicating that racial minorities are more likely to reside in communities surrounding the sources of environmental risks or live with higher levels of pollutant emissions, relatively little research focuses on how broader political and institutional contexts pertaining to people of color impacts routine environmental policy implementation at the state level in the post-facility-siting period. Drawing on theories of group-centric, degenerative policy, and the poli...

摘要:Two central governance challenges are directing leadership attention to performance data and the management of diversity. This article examines connections between the two, asking if the introduction of diversity, as a form of organizational change, is associated with greater leadership use of performance data. Diversity is theorized as a double-edged sword for organizations, generating greater innovation, creativity, and performance, but also conflict. We propose that leaders will be motivate...

摘要:This study examines the relation between executive succession and corporate capacity. Drawing on theory on executive succession, it is argued that corporate capacity is likely to increase following succession as new executives need early support to succeed in the job. The effect of succession is expected to decrease over time as the new executive settles in. These effects are expected to be most pronounced following outside successions. My expectations are tested in a longitudinal study of exe...

摘要:Leadership has been recognized as one of the most critical elements to successful community collaboration. However, to date, we have limited knowledge of what drives people to embrace voluntary leadership roles. In this study, we investigate the intersection and relative contributions of two other-regarding motivational constructs in predicting peer nominations of leadership in community collaboratives: public service motivation (PSM) and psychological sense of community responsibility (SOC-R)...
