  摘要：in the summer of 2004, the state of Florida was struck by four major hurricanes consecutively. Using data collected from jurisdictions experiencing hurricanes, this study examines public complacency defined as the tendency to ignore hurricane threat warnings. Results indicate that the public showed signs of complacency under repeated emergency threat warnings and there is a need to manage or reduce such tendency because a complacent public is less prepared for emergencies. Importantly, the stu...
• Exit, voice, loyalty, and pay: Evidence from the public workforce AI翻译

  摘要：We assess Hirschman's theory of exit, voice, and loyalty in the context of voluntary exit from organizations in the public workforce. Specifically, we test the effects of loyalty and voice on the likelihood a person states their intention to leave. We assess these relationships using data from the Federal Human Capital Survey. Our statistical analysis provides evidence that perceptions about voice and loyalty limit exit at all levels of the organizational hierarchy. Yet, dissatisfaction with p...
• Sector perceptions among state-level public managers AI翻译

  摘要：In this article, I investigate whether or not there is variance in public managers' perceptions of worker quality and work life, by sector. Specifically, I investigate whether state-level public managers perceive the public sector or the private sector as having more challenging work and more talented workers, and how those perceptions are conditioned by previous work experience, motivations for taking their current jobs, education, race, and other demographic characteristics. Using multinomia...
• An empirical evaluation of innovation types and organizational and environmental characteristics: Towards a configuration framework AI翻译
  作者：Walker, Richard M.
  作者单位：University of Hong Kong; Cardiff University
  摘要：The purpose of this article is to identify the antecedents of service, organizational process (organization and marketization), and ancillary innovation types. The drivers of the study are twofold: prior research has not adequately addressed how organizational and environmental antecedents may vary by innovation type, and the impact of complementary relationships between innovation types has not been systematically estimated in public organizations. Data are drawn from a 2-yr multiple informan...
• Factors behind organizational learning from benchmarking:: Experiences from norwegian municipal benchmarking networks AI翻译
  作者：Askim, Jostein; Johnsen, Age; Christophersen, Knut-Andreas
  作者单位：University of Oslo; Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet)
  摘要：Benchmarking rests on the assumption that it supports organizational learning and innovation, but the empirical knowledge that underpins this perceived means-end relationship is limited. This article draws on existing research to develop a framework for analyzing organizational learning outcomes from municipal benchmarking. The framework incorporates explanatory factors at different levels (network and municipality), and with different time perspectives (past and present). Empirical results fr...
• The multisectoral trilemma of network management AI翻译
  作者：Herranz, Joaquin, Jr.
  作者单位：University of Washington; University of Washington Seattle
  摘要：This article presents an analysis of different network coordination strategies. The article extends network management scholarship by integrating sector-based differences within a theoretical framework encompassing extant conceptions of network management. Even as the emergent field of network management scholarship advances, current research tends to generalize network management approaches based on assumptions that organizations behave similarly within a network regardless of whether the org...
• Urban e-government initiatives and environmental decision performance in Korea AI翻译
  作者：Lim, Joon Hyoung; Tang, Shui-Yan
  作者单位：University of South Carolina System; University of South Carolina Columbia
  摘要：Although e-government initiatives have been credited as engines of government reform, empirical evidence is insufficient to determine their effects on public sector performance. To explore the impact of e-government on local governance, this article examines how e-government initiatives influence the perceived performance of environmental decision making in an urban context and what organizational and contextual factors affect Web-aided decision performance. Data were collected from the conten...
• Employee turnover and organizational performance: Testing a hypothesis from classical public administration AI翻译

  摘要：Empirical studies of public employee turnover, particularly using turnover as an independent variable, are rare; and most of the literature assumes turnover to have a negative impact on organizations. This study examines a provocative but little supported hypothesis that has recently emerged in the private sector literature-that turnover may provide positive benefits to the organization, at least up to a point. Using data from several hundred public organizations over a nine-year period, we te...
• Transit contracting reexamined: Determinants of cost efficiency and resource allocation AI翻译
  作者：Zullo, Roland
  作者单位：University of Michigan System; University of Michigan
  摘要：National Transit Data from 1993 through 2004 is analyzed to examine the effects of contracting out on the cost efficiency and resource allocation of motor bus and demand response services. For motor bus service, results indicate no difference in cost between in-house and fully contracted operations. Contracting has a weak curvilinear association to total cost, suggesting that the most cost-efficient agencies either fully contract or they provide full in-house service. In contrast, demand respo...
• Network management reconsidered: An inquiry into management of network structures in public sector service provision AI翻译

  摘要：Although policy and collaborative networks have been studied since the 1970s and 1980s, only recently has the management of these entities come under greater scrutiny. Studies of network management are designed to better understand the unique challenges of operating in a context where bureaucracy no longer provides the primary tool for social steering. These studies typically make three assumptions about networks, public managers, and the tasks of network management that empirical evidence fro...
