• Saving the Salmon: Examining the Cost-Effectiveness of Collaboration in Oregon AI翻译
  作者：Mehdi, Qasim; Nabatchi, Tina
  作者单位：Syracuse University
  摘要：Environmental collaboration has become an increasingly common approach to the management of natural resources. Scholars and practitioners have tried to understand how collaborative structures impact performance using a multitude of single case studies and comparative studies. However, despite calls for the evaluation of collaborative performance, minimal quantitative research explores the connections between collaborative structures and performance using a large sample for analysis. We address...
• Activating the Big Man: Social Status, Patronage Networks, and Pro-Social Behavior in African Bureaucracies AI翻译

  摘要：Public service delivery by African states is often characterized as particularist, favoring ethnic, personal or political networks of those inside the state over universalist, pro-social services to citizens. One explanation for particularist service delivery focuses on societal patronage norms, with Big Men providing for members of their networks. Despite the prominence of this line of reasoning and the anecdotal prevalence of Big Men in politics and society, hardly any research has quantitat...
• Should I Stay or Should I Go? Why Participants Leave Collaborative Governance Arrangements AI翻译

  摘要：What drives collaborating participants to leave collaborative arrangements? Collaboration is a dynamic and emergent process rather than a static condition. Previous studies focus on collaboration's emergence and performance; few empirical studies examine why participants stop collaborating. We address this question by studying how the history and structure of the Illinois enterprise zone program relate to local governments' renewing enterprise zone arrangements. We formulate hypotheses and pro...
• Honor List and Shame Roll: Quasi-Experimental Evidence of the Effect of Performance Feedback under Political Control AI翻译
  作者：Wei, Wenchi; Wang, Chengwei; Zhai, Wenkang; Li, Wenzhao

  摘要：This article examines how the use of an honor list and shame roll as a means of performance feedback can influence governments' future performance improvement, focusing on a prominent performance management reform implemented in Chinese local governments. We draw upon classic behavioral theories of organizations to propose testable hypotheses. The empirical analyses use 3,300 observations based on the 333 grassroots governments of the capital city of China as the unit of analysis. Regression d...
• Shared Positions on Divisive Beliefs Explain Interorganizational Collaboration: Evidence from Climate Change Policy Subsystems in 11 Countries AI翻译

  摘要：Collaboration between public administration organizations and various stakeholders is often prescribed as a potential solution to the current complex problems of governance, such as climate change. According to the Advocacy Coalition Framework, shared beliefs are one of the most important drivers of collaboration. However, studies investigating the role of beliefs in collaboration show mixed results. Some argue that similarity of general normative and empirical policy beliefs elicits collabora...
• Do Vacancies Hurt Federal Agency Performance? AI翻译
  作者：Piper, Christopher; Lewis, David E.
  作者单位：Vanderbilt University
  摘要：The combination of the high workload associated with keeping top executive branch positions filled and political dysfunction has led to longer and more frequent periods of vacancies in the U.S. executive branch. While scholars commonly claim that such vacancies are harmful for performance, this claim has been difficult to evaluate because of theoretical disagreement, conceptual confusion, and measurement challenges. In this article, we evaluate the relationship between vacancies and performanc...
• Democratic Stakeholder Representativeness AI翻译
  作者：Jastram, Sarah Margaretha; Berberyan, Zara
  作者单位：Leuphana University Luneburg
  摘要：Stakeholder theory has been advocating the inclusion of affected parties in organizational processes to increase the legitimacy and effectiveness of organizational governance. However, organizations can fail to achieve these objectives if there is no systematic link between stakeholders and their constituency. Based on democratic notions of representation, we argue that democratic stakeholder representativeness is an essential virtue of stakeholder governance processes. We conceptually derive ...
• Theorizing Multilevel Closure Structures Guiding Forum Participation AI翻译

  摘要：Understanding how stakeholders choose to participate in different policy forums is central to research on complex, polycentric governance systems. In this article, we draw upon the Ecology of Games Theory (EGT) to develop theoretical expectations about how four incentive structures may guide how actors navigate the world of policy forums. We test these expectations using unique data on a three-mode network of actors, forums, and issues related to climate change adaption in the state of Ohio, i...
• Dismantling or Disguising Racialization?: Defining Racialized Change Work in the Context of Postsecondary Grantmaking AI翻译

  摘要：Grantmaking organizations (GMOs) exert considerable influence on education systems, public policy, and its administration. We position the work of GMOs-in the distribution and management of funds for the public good-as a form of public management. Using recent work on racialized organizations from sociology, critical theories of race, and institutional theory, we address the role of GMOs in dismantling or reproducing inequalities. In doing so, we develop a new construct-racialized change work-...
• How Communities Benefit from Collaborative Governance: Experimental Evidence in Ugandan Oil and Gas AI翻译

  摘要：This paper reports the results of a field experiment to assess the collaborative effects of community participation in the Ugandan oil and gas sector. Our research design assesses collaborative impacts as relational between community members and different decision-makers in the sector and measures these impacts from the point of view of local people. Local people often face power imbalances in collaborative governance. Decision-makers are increasingly attempting to mitigate such imbalances to ...
