  摘要：This essay focuses on the potential of information communication technologies to move the Public Administration (PA) scholarly community into a new information paradigm. We begin with a review of conventional approaches PA scholars use to communicate with each other, students, and practitioners. After illustrating advances in Web applications, we call for an Open PA Scholarship'' in which research, teaching, and engagement are conducted in a more participatory, timely, and effective manner ena...
• The Benefits of Bureaucracy: Public Managers' Perceptions of Political Support, Goal Ambiguity, and Organizational Effectiveness AI翻译
  作者：Stazyk, Edmund C.; Goerdely, Holly T.
  作者单位：American University; University of Kansas
  摘要：Public organizations rely extensively on sources of support-political and otherwise-external to themselves to ensure continued success in meeting policy goals. The resource-dependent nature of political-administrative relations can create performance problems for organizations, especially when perceptions of political support decline. Previous literature demonstrates how low levels of political support may amplify goal ambiguity for organizations in the public sphere. We argue that these organ...
• Testing a Revised Measure of Public Service Motivation: Reflective versus Formative Specification AI翻译
  作者：Kim, Sangmook
  摘要：Public service motivation (PSM) is perceived as a multidimensional construct, as an overall, unobserved latent variable with various latent dimensions. The present study focuses on the relationships between PSM and its dimensions. The purposes in this study are to confirm a set of revised items as indicators of a rational base of PSM, to compare a four-factor model with various three-factor models, and to analyze whether PSM is defined as a formative or a reflective measurement model. Using su...
• Race, Respect, and Red Tape: Inside the Black Box of Racially Representative Bureaucracies AI翻译
  作者：Watkins-Hayes, Celeste
  作者单位：Northwestern University
  摘要：Racially representative bureaucracy theory suggests that black and Latino clients of street-level bureaucracies will uniformly experience the benefits of a racially diverse staff within these institutions and perceive it as working to their advantage. Conversely, street-level bureaucracy theory suggests that racial minorities working within these organizations are under massive constraints that significantly hamstring their efforts to exercise discretion in ways that might benefit minority cli...
• The Behavioral Dimension of Governing Interorganizational Goal-Directed Networks-Managing the Unity-Diversity Tension AI翻译

  摘要：Network management research documents how network members engage in activities to advance their own goals. However, this literature offers little insight into the nature of work that aims to advance the goals of the network as a whole.'' By examining the behavioral dimension of network governance, this article identifies a specific tension that network leaders address to effectively govern networks: although unity and diversity are essential to network performance, each makes contradictory dem...
• The Distinction between Public, Nonprofit, and For-Profit: Revisiting the Core Legal Approach AI翻译
  作者：Stark, Andrew
  作者单位：University of Toronto
  摘要：In studying the characteristics that determine the public, nonprofit, and/or for-profit nature of organizations, public administration scholarship has elaborated upon the dimensional approach (e. g., Bozeman, Barry. 2007. Public values and public interest: Counterbalancing economic individualism. Washington, DC: Georgetown Univ. Press), to the point where it is now furnishing a rich body of theoretical and empirical material on organizational identity. Yet as Bozeman says, there was always ano...

  摘要：The tension between managerialism and legalism in public administration has been a recurring theme at Minnowbrook conferences. This tension, increasingly evident in the literature, is couched in the often-conflicting values of efficiency and performance, on one hand, and legal and democratic values such as accountability, equality, and transparency, on the other hand. Building on conversations we began at Minnowbrook III, we specify a three-part proposal through which the legal and managerial ...
• Why Public Financial Management Matters AI翻译

  摘要：Public administration and management (PAM) scholars have long recognized that financial resources are the lifeblood of public organizations. Less appreciated is how the study of public financial management (PFM) can inform the theory, research, and practice of PAM broadly. In this article, we argue that PFM research brings a variety of conceptual, analytical, and empirical insights to bear on some of public administration and management's timeless questions. To illustrate this claim, we synthe...
• Campaign Contributions, Access, and Government Contracting AI翻译
  作者：Witko, Christopher
  作者单位：Saint Louis University
  摘要：It is clear that corporations seek to use campaign contributions to gain government contracts, but despite anecdotes, whether they succeed has been largely ignored in academic studies. In this article, I discuss how campaign contributions may influence contracting and consider the relationship between the donation of campaign contributions and the receipt of government contracts for a sample of firms politically active between 1979 and 2006. The analysis shows that even after controlling for p...
• Belief Systems and Social Capital as Drivers of Policy Network Structure: The Case of California Regional Planning AI翻译
  作者：Henry, Adam Douglas; Lubell, Mark; McCoy, Michael
  作者单位：West Virginia University; University of California System; University of California Davis
  摘要：This article uses exponential random graph models to investigate the roles of policy-relevant beliefs and social capital as drivers of network structure. The advocacy coalition framework argues that actors with similar policy beliefs are more likely to form coalitions, leading to policy subsystems fragmented into ideological groups. Social capital is defined as trust and norms of reciprocity, which helps cement cooperative relationships. Hypotheses are tested using survey data of policy elites...
