摘要：Regulatory delay is one of the most cited problems with US administrative policymaking, and lawmakers frequently impose statutory deadlines on agencies to combat it. Using data on federal rules proposed over a 10-year period, we estimate the impact of statutory deadlines on the probability that proposed rules were finalized as well as their impact on the error with which agencies forecasted when rules would be finalized. We find that agencies were more likely to commit to rule finalization by ...

摘要：Multiagency collaboration is widely used in contemporary service delivery systems. This article explores the interpersonal interactions within collaborative systems, among subsystems, and among organizations. Our focus is on illuminating the informal mechanisms that facilitate collaboration, joint production, coordination and integration of service delivery, and sustained effort. Such interactions generate unofficial expectations, discretionary behaviors, and provider communities that can amel...

摘要：This article develops a conceptual framework that connects contextual factors with work situations, enforcement strategies, and self-assessment of street-level bureaucrats. Based on two rounds of surveys of environmental enforcement officials in the City of Guangzhou in 2000 and 2006 and subsequent interviews with enforcement officials and enterprise executives, the article traces the transformation of China's policy implementation process from one that is premised primarily on vertical suppor...

摘要：Few studies have examined the impact of governing board decision processes on board and organizational outcomes. This study draws on research on small work teams in the private sector to develop expectations about the relationship between outcomes and one aspect of board dynamics that affects decision making: intraboard conflict. Using administrative and survey data from school board members and school district superintendents in California, I show a consistent pattern of negative associations...

摘要：This article considers the introduction of a performance measurement reform for private schools serving students who receive state-provided vouchers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Drawing on unique panel data collected both before and after the reform, we show that private sector performance increased significantly when outcomes were publicly reported. We frame these results in the context of third-party provision of public services and argue that our evidence suggests that market-based competition ...

摘要：This article investigates the role of resource dependence in explaining the social structure of policy networks while controlling for the effects of microstructure, such as the tendency for networks to display reciprocity and/or transitive closure. While previous studies have analyzed resource dependence as a factor in decision making in policy networks, surprisingly little is known about the effects of these social factors on the structure of policy networks due, in part, to the statistical c...

摘要：A rich literature focuses on how the external environment constrains managerial practice in large service organizations, much of which overlooks the differences between public, nonprofit, and private organizations. The present study identifies important distinctions between sectors and theorizes how managerial practices differ across sectors under external constraints from the market and politics. Using a national survey of almost 1,000 top-level managers in public, private, and nonprofit hosp...
