Press) and others have argued that government and nonprofit human service organizations work in partnership to address poverty, with government funding the efforts of nonprofits that provide services to the poor.

Collaborative partnerships are often touted as a type of decision-making forum that generates more learning than typically occurs in more adversarial forums. This study develops and tests hypotheses from the collaborative learning literature, using survey data from 121 participants in 10 partnerships that focus on marine aqua...

  摘要：Drawing on the theory of representative bureaucracy, specifically the theory of symbolic representation, we examine whether or not gender representativeness in a police department's domestic violence unit influences how citizens judge the agency's performance, trustworthiness, and fairness. To examine this question, we use an online survey experiment in which we vary the representation of female police officers in a hypothetical domestic violence unit as well as the agency's performance. Resul...

Past researches on antecedent variables of social loafing tend to focus on the impacts of the personal and job characteristics within organizations, but few have considered the impacts of external factors on social loafing. This study takes as its object of investigation the tax collectors of Taipei National Tax...
