摘要:Previous evaluations of publicness have focused largely on organizations and organizational behavior. This analysis extends the applicability of publicness one step further, to consider the effect of the publicness of policy environments on resulting individual-level outcomes. Subprime or high-cost mortgage lending was an increasingly dominant strategy in the mid-2000s to deal with the uncertainty of extending mortgages to borrowers with perceived higher risk. However, contrary to efficiency p...

摘要:The nonprofit sector is evolving rapidly as organizations expand their focus on efficiency, sustainability, and accountability. Public agencies are changing as well, embracing collaborative public management and fostering stewardship-based contracting approaches. But how have all these developments influenced government funding for nonprofit organizations? Which types of nonprofits procure public funds, and how do patterns change over time? Based on 200 interviews with leaders of nonprofit org...

摘要:Debates about the merits of publicness have dominated the public administration landscape since the foundation of the modern state. The extent of organizational publicness (ownership, funding, and control) has waxed and waned in developed countries: it rose following the postwar settlement and fell under the policies of New Right government and the popularity of the notions of New Public Management. We argue that publicness effects are likely to diminish in the face of organizational and conte...

摘要:In an era of privatization, government-nonprofit relations largely determine the face of social provision. Yet, little is known about the organizational factors that influence the receipt of government allocations by nonprofit human service organizations. This study examines how the institutional and ecological environments under which nonprofit human services operate along with the political and economic actions they take shape receipt of government funding. Using a probability sample of nonp...

摘要:In the United States, housing policies focused on assisting low-income families toward homeownership have resulted in the creation of publicly subsidized affordable mortgage programs. Private lenders and their employees (loan originators) are often the key point of contact to connect low-income borrowers to public programs. But why would loan originators offer borrowers public loan programs, particularly when such programs provide no additional (and sometimes reduced) direct financial compensa...

摘要:Street-level organizations are pivotal players in the making of public policy. The importance of these organizations is reflected in new public management strategies that aim to influence how street-level organizations work, in part, by steering discretionary practices through performance-based incentives. The underlying assumptions are that if performance indicators provide the equivalent of a bottom line and incentives (or penalties) are attached to them, one can leave it to street-level org...

摘要:This article examines the institutional motivations underlying innovation. Although attention to motivation played a role in early theorizing on innovation, the phenomenon is understudied empirically. A clearer understanding of the relative importance of differing institutional motivations can illuminate why public organizations adopting innovative strategies and programs often fail to replicate the benefits of earlier implementations. We draw on organizational and political theory to identify...

摘要:Public Administration (PA) is a field characterized by great diversity in theoretical approaches and methodological tactics. This wide scope lends itself to potential epistemological and methodological fragmentation, which prevents scholars from adequately appreciating and building on each other's work. Although many scholars value PA's theoretical and methodological diversity, this intellectual diversity brings some important trade-offs that must be acknowledged. We see three future challenge...

摘要:This research examines the role of interest intermediaries in helping to promote environmental regulatory compliance with a particular focus on their activities to facilitate the sharing of regulatory information. Although it is widely accepted that the provision of regulatory information to regulatees is crucial to enhancing compliance, the ability of regulatees to take advantage of the information provided is often limited. The research reported here addresses the gap between mere provision ...

摘要:This article echoes recent calls for public management research to focus on core questions and utilize multiple methods to advance the state of knowledge in the field. In this article, we call for more experimental research on the public/private distinction, which is a core public management research topic. We then conduct a pilot experimental study that provides new insights-and what seem to be major implications-about this important topic. Specifically, we study individuals' vigilance when p...
