  摘要：Although there has been a resurgence of interest in red-tape research, much of this research has the limited focus of testing for public private distinctions and has used a wide range of concepts and measures. In some ways, progress on substantive issues surrounding how to contend with red tape is stymied by the multiplicity of theoretical specifications and operational measures for red tape. Relatedly, the concept of red tape continues to be confounded with formalization. Therefore, this arti...
• Representative bureaucracy in the federal executive: Gender and spending priorities AI翻译

  摘要：With women's growing presence across all branches of government, scholars recently have begun to assess whether or not female political elites alter the substantive policy outputs of government. Despite clear and convincing evidence that officials in the fourth branch of government influence policy making (Meier 1993b; Rourke 1984; Aberbach, Putnam, and Rockman 1981), most research on women's distinct impact has focused on those in legislative office. Very little is known about female represen...
• Bureaucratic entrepreneurship and institutional change: A sense-making approach AI翻译
  作者：Baez, B; Abolafia, MY

  摘要：This study develops a model for the analysis of institutional change in public-sector organizations. We use sense-making theory to explore the role of bureaucratic entrepreneurial action in institutional change. Metaphors from music composition illustrate the pace and depth of institutional change. We elaborate this analytic model by examining a major institutional change: housing for the developmentally disabled. The data trace changes in the institutionalized practices of a large state agenc...
• Bureaucratic discretion, agency structure, and democratic responsiveness: The case of the United States attorneys AI翻译
  作者：Whitford, AB

  摘要：Structural choices have fundamental and continuing effects on the democratic responsiveness of public agencies. In contrast to popular accounts of the United States Attorneys' splendid isolation, I provide structural evidence of routes to the national political oversight of the prosecution of federal crimes in the field. I will examine U.S. Attorneys' data on the prosecution of regulatory crimes and present statistical tests of local justice, lone justice, and overhead democratic control accou...
• Does the perception of red tape constrain IT innovativeness in organizations? Unexpected results from a simultaneous equation model and implications AI翻译
  作者：Moon, MJ; Bretschneider, S

  摘要：This study posits a theoretical model in which both red tape and information technology (IT) innovativeness have reciprocal causal effects on one another The primary model suggests that perceived red tape is not necessarily a constraining factor to IT innovativeness but could he a facilitating factor High levels of perceived red tape might lead organizations toward innovative solutions to their organizational problems through information technology This study also finds that top managers' risk...
• The plot that failed: The Republican revolution and congressional control of the bureaucracy AI翻译
  作者：Hedge, D; Johnson, RJ
  作者单位：State University System of Florida; University of Florida
  摘要：The Republican capture of the US. Congress following the 1994 midterm elections provides a unique opportunity to examine congressional control of the bureaucracy. Under the leadership of House Majority Whip Tom Delay (R-TX), Republicans waged an all-out assault on regulation reminiscent of the Reagan years. Toward that end, House leaders relied on a mix of control mechanisms including budget cuts and a variety of deck stacking strategies. While the bulk of the Republican regulatory agenda fail...
• Effective contract implementation and management: A preliminary model AI翻译
  作者：Romzek, BS; Johnston, JM
  作者单位：University of Kansas
  摘要：Using data derived from an initial case of state contracting for social services for the elderly, this article builds. a theoretical model to explain variations in the effectiveness of the implementation and management of state contracts. Contracts for complex social services often present unforeseen challenges and administrative consequences that make for difficult transitions for both the state agencies and their nongovernmental contractors. We expect that these challenges can compromise the...
• Public-sector work motivation: A review of the current literature and a revised conceptual model AI翻译
  作者：Wright, BE
  作者单位：State University of New York (SUNY) System; University at Albany, SUNY
  摘要：This article reviews the literature on work motivation in the public sector, with careful attention to the underlying theoretical assumptions of this body of work and the empirical evidence it has generated. The topic of work motivation has received relatively little attention in the public sector; the research that does exist has been largely data driven, guided at best by theories that have not incorporated more contemporary research. In this article I will draw on current psychological rese...
