• Denying public value: The role of the public sector in accounts of the development of the Internet AI翻译
  作者：Rogers, JD; Kingsley, G

  摘要：The development of the Internet has required the combined efforts of government agencies, universities, and private corporations. The system as we came to know it in the 1990s is to a great extent the result of the interaction of technical considerations and the peculiar interfaces among the public, private, and hybrid sectors. Yet the stories of the creation of the Internet by participants are largely of a system that sprung wholly from the private sector. In this study we explore the distanc...

• Privatization and its reverse: Explaining the dynamics of the government contracting process AI翻译
  作者：Hefetz, A; Warner, M

  摘要：Empirical evidence shows local government contracting is a dynamic process that includes movements from public delivery to markets and from market contracts back to in-house delivery. This reverse contracting reflects the complexity of public service provision in a world where market alternatives are used along with public delivery. We develop a methodology to link responses to national surveys and create a longitudinal data set that captures the dynamics of the contracting process. We present...
• What do they know, and whom do they hold accountable? - Citizens in the government-nonprofit contracting relationship AI翻译

  摘要：Devolution and pressures from elected officials and citizens to reduce government involvement in service provision have increasingly led many public agencies to contract with nonprofits for service delivery. in this article we consider the effects of the changing institutional arrangements governing the delivery of publicly funded social services on citizens' satisfaction and ability to hold service providers accountable. Specifically, we consider whether citizens are able to accurately identi...
• Public management in intergovernmental networks: Matching structural networks and managerial networking AI翻译
  作者：O'Toole, LJ Jr; Meier, KJ

  摘要：While there is considerable consensus on the importance of intergovernmental management for the performance of many public programs, theoretical work has been slow to develop, and systematic empirical research on the topic has been rare. This article explores intergovernmental management in the field of public education by testing parts of a model developed in earlier work. In an examination of many school districts over a multiyear period, the study focuses in particular on how structural fea...
• Framing moves: Interpretive politics at the federal reserve AI翻译
  作者：Abolafia, MY
  作者单位：State University of New York (SUNY) System; University at Albany, SUNY
  摘要：Interpretive politics is a contest over the framing of ideas. In the context of closed-door, elite policymaking groups, interpretive politics shapes the thinking of both group members and the wider community of stakeholders. This article identifies a temporal structure to interpretive politics in group policymaking settings and a related set of framing moves. Framing moves are actions taken by meeting participants to challenge existing policy frames and to project new ones. These moves corresp...
• Comparing the Stewart-Sprinthall management survey and the defining issues test-2 as measures of moral reasoning in public administration AI翻译
  作者：Rizzo, AM; Swisher, LL
  作者单位：Tennessee State University; State University System of Florida; University of South Florida
  摘要：Studies of moral reasoning in public administration have used James Rest's Defining Issues Test (DIT) and the Stewart-Sprinthall Management Survey (SSMS), both derived from Lawrence Kohlberg's work, to assess the moral reasoning of government managers and personnel with disparate results. For example, in previous research with public administrators the SSMS has found higher levels of law and order or maintaining norms moral reasoning than the DIT. The purposes of this article are to (1) summar...
• Testing a multi-dimensional model of organizational performance: Prospects and problems AI翻译
  作者：Selden, SC; Sowa, JE
  作者单位：University of Lynchburg; University of South Carolina System; University of South Carolina Columbia
  摘要：Scholars have been preoccupied for generations with identifying the best measure and model of organizational performance. Drawing on previous work focused on the development of multi-dimensional frameworks or models of organizational performance, this article presents our perspective on organizational performance, discussing a multidimensional model that emphasizes the importance of assessing the two primary dimensions of performance, management and program performance. We advocate for the use...
• The middle aging of new public management: Into the age of paradox? AI翻译
  作者：Hood, C; Peters, G
  作者单位：University of Oxford; Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education (PCSHE); University of Pittsburgh
  摘要：As New Public Management enters middle age, scholarly attention has moved to some degree from descriptive mapping and a priori critiques to the analysis of surprises and paradoxes associated with recent and contemporary public service reforms. Some standard analytic lenses for examining such paradoxes, explored here, are the Mertonian tradition of analyzing unintended effects of social interventions, cultural theories of surprise, and the analysis of discontinuities and unexpected couplings in...
