• Multiple public service performance indicators: Toward an integrated statistical approach AI翻译
  作者：Martin, S; Smith, PC
  作者单位：University of York - UK
  摘要：Public service organizations usually produce multiple outputs, measured on different scales, giving rise to a suite of performance indicators. The traditional approach to statistical analysis of organizational performance has been to develop a separate regression model for each performance indicator. This piecemeal approach, the article argues, may discard valuable information, as it ignores potentially important relationships between individual performance measures. We therefore propose model...
• Red tape and public employees: Does perceived rule dysfunction alienate managers? AI翻译

  摘要：This study explores the relationship between organizational red tape and work alienation. While bureaucratic controls have long been considered sources of worker detachment, the relationship between red tape and managerial alienation has not been explicitly tested. When managers encounter rules, regulations, or procedures that seem pointless yet burdensome, these encounters may simultaneously trigger the key psychological ingredients of alienation-powerlessness and meaninglessness. These in tu...
• The evolution of dyadic interorganizational relationships in a network of publicly funded nonprofit agencies AI翻译
  作者：Isett, KR; Provan, KG

  摘要：This article addresses a gap in the extant literature on networks by assessing how interorganizational relationships evolve in a public sector network setting. The context for the research was a network of publicly funded health and human service agencies involved in service delivery to people with serious mental illness. Longitudinal data were collected from a single community. The analysis suggests that public and nonprofit sector relationships evolve differently than private sector partners...
• Representative bureaucracy, organizational strategy, and public service performance: An empirical analysis of English local government AI翻译

  摘要：The theory of representative bureaucracy suggests that organizations perform better if their workforces reflect the characteristics of their constituent populations. The management literature implies that the impact of representative bureaucracy is contingent on organizational strategy. Our empirical evidence on English local government is inconsistent with the basic theory of representative bureaucracy but supports a moderating effect of organizational strategy. Representative bureaucracy is ...

• Linking passive and active representation: The case of frontline workers in welfare agencies AI翻译
  作者：Riccucci, NM; Meyers, MK
  作者单位：Rutgers University System; Rutgers University New Brunswick; University of Washington; University of Washington Seattle
  摘要：This research tests the theory of active representation in welfare offices. Relying on a model developed by Saltzstein, the research examines the linkage between social origins and attitudes or values, which are critical antecedents to actions and, ultimately, to policy outcomes. Survey data from eleven welfare offices across four states are relied upon to test for this linkage.
• Devolution, fiscal federalism, and changing patterns of municipal revenues: The mismatch between theory and reality AI翻译
  作者：Krane, D; Ebdon, C; Bartle, J
  作者单位：University of Nebraska System
  摘要：Theories of fiscal federalism, such as those propounded by Musgrave, Tiebout, and Brennan and Buchanan, prescribe assignment of revenue sources among federal, state, and local governments. in this article, we demonstrate that the recent diversification of municipal revenue sources in response to devolutionary forces does not follow the expectations of the fiscal federalism theories. Our analysis suggests that the use of an institutional approach to the study of fiscal federalism would help to ...
• Management as an agent of cultural change in the Turkish public sector AI翻译
  作者：Ates, H
  摘要：This article explores the impact of public sector managerialism, and specifically the government's strategy of encouraging managers to adopt business values and associated behaviors, on cultural change in the Turkish health sector. The Turkish case provides a model of interdependence between managerial initiatives and cultural change, in that the government has tried to win over the hearts and minds of staff to a new attitude and style and has striven to overcome resistance from managers in a ...

• Strategy content and public service organizations AI翻译
  作者：Boyne, GA; Walker, RM
  作者单位：Cardiff University
  摘要：Existing classifications of organizational strategy have limited relevance to public agencies. They confuse strategy processes and strategy content, consist of simplistic taxonomies, and do not take sufficient account of the constraints faced by public organizations. in this article we attempt to remedy these problems by developing a strategy content matrix that comprises two dimensions: strategic stance (the extent to which an organization is a prospector, defender, or reactor) and strategic ...
