摘要：In an effort to bring some order to the leadership literature and integrate existing knowledge on the topic of leadership, some scholars have begun to develop integrative frameworks of leadership. Integrative frameworks incorporate leadership skills, traits, behaviors, and styles and situational variables in a single theoretical model to explain a leader's influence on performance. This study advances that line of research by developing an integrative framework of public sector leadership and ...

摘要：In the past twenty years, the growing percentages of racial and ethnic minorities in the United States have led scholars to pay increased attention to the issue of diversity. However, very little research using the public organization as the unit of analysis has sought to understand the true impact of workforce diversity on work-related outcomes. This study seeks to understand the impact of one type of diversity-race and ethnicity-on organizational outcomes in public education. Using data from...

摘要：This article is positioned at the confluence of two literatures that deal with policy implementation and intergovernmental relations. We specifically seek to answer the following question: what contextual, attitudinal, and administrative characteristics explain higher level(s) of perceived welfare reform accomplishments in implementing welfare reform in the local setting? We examine county officials' perceived achievement of the primary and secondary policy objectives of welfare reform in Nort...

摘要：Punctuated equilibrium is supposed to be a viable alternative to incrementalism, and, indeed, the authors of the model have sometimes made such claims. But punctuated equilibrium was developed to explain change in policy subsystems and does not serve as a complete model of policy choice in the same way that incrementalism has served. This article develops a full-blown and viable model of choice for public policy based on disproportionate information processing. Its dynamics are based in the al...

摘要：Several federal agencies generate forecasts of future economic performance. How accurate are these projections? The article compares actual and projected outcomes for four macroeconomic indicators across three federal agencies. The bias and efficiency of the forecasts are estimated using tests drawn from the macroeconomic literature on private forecast performance, and some alternative explanations for observed bias are considered. The tests indicate that many of the short-term forecasts are u...

摘要：The growing acceptance of governance as an organizing concept for public management reform reflects a widespread, though not universal, belief that the focus of administrative practice is shifting from hierarchical government toward greater reliance on horizontal, hybridized, and associational forms of governance. Recent arguments to this effect, however, make limited recourse to the body of empirical evidence that might shed light on the actual extent of this transformation. in this article w...

摘要：This article asks how Internet use, citizen satisfaction with e-government, and citizen trust in government are interrelated. We first review the literature on trust and explore how radical information technologies may work to alter the production or maintenance of trust. We then develop hypotheses about how citizens' experience with e-government, satisfaction with e-government and government Web sites, and trust in government are interrelated. Moreover, the model for e-government and Web site...
