摘要：We draw from the Theory of Fundamental Causes to examine social equity and community resilience in public administration. We analyze the effect of social capital and social vulnerability on COVID-19 vaccination rates in United States' counties, as well as social capital's influence in counties with varying social vulnerabilities. Findings show that bonding social capital and socioeconomic status (SES) vulnerability negatively predict vaccine uptake. Bonding's negative association is most prono...

摘要：In recent years, criticism facing Business-Type Management within the state has led governments to call for new management models. In many cases, this ambition has not been accompanied by concrete actions signaling a clear break with BTM. There has been limited capacity for critical reflection, learning, and innovative thinking. Why is this? In this article, this question is discussed from a historical-institutional perspective. Using Sweden as a case, it is argued that the inertia largely can...

摘要：According to existing strategic management literature certain sets of alignments between the content and key elements of strategy enhance organizational performance. While local governments are increasingly adopting strategic approaches to manage digitalization, research that examines such alignments in strategy for digital change is scarce. To introduce such a relational perspective, we develop a framework for analyzing digitalization strategy. We show through a comparative case study that mu...

摘要：Amidst 21st-century climate-related threats, municipal elected officials (EOs) may outsource public services to third parties to avoid the political costs of adopting unpopular sustainability policies-a strategy known as political decoupling. However, decoupling raises accountability concerns and may not improve sustainability, leading some municipalities to recouple services. To help understand the political impacts of these decisions, we assess how public scrutiny toward EOs in US municipali...

摘要：In practice, multiple policy instruments are often combined to achieve complex goals. However, predicting whether policy mixes will have complementary or conflicting effects remains a theoretical challenge, especially in those aimed at changing individuals' cognition and behavior. We provide novel theoretical and empirical insights into policy mix effectiveness by defining and differentiating the behavioral assumptions embedded in policy instruments, arguing that outcomes depend not only on th...

摘要：Herbert Simon's pioneering developments on bounded rationality and artificial intelligence (AI) have had a profound and lasting impact on public administration. This paper systematically examines Simon's legacy, exploring how his concepts have shaped scholarship in three core areas: decision-making, human performance, and organizational knowledge. By connecting Simon's insights into contemporary advancements in AI, we highlight several avenues for further research. We uncover opportunities to ...

摘要：Scholars of responsive forms of governance tend to analyze agreements, arrangements, and architectures. Yet, these forms of governance also require actual actors to act and interact, something that has been scarcely empirically studied. Taking a practice-theoretical approach, I explore how responsive governance is accomplished in and through meetings. This study is based on participant observation, interviews, and document analysis of governance of child and family services in the Netherlands....

摘要：Drawing on the power struggles of executives and legislators in a kingship budget setting, the study sheds light on the role of informal power in budget decisions and what makes one of the key actors more powerful than the other in the budgeting process. The study employs a qualitative case study collecting data through face-to-face interviews, observations, and documentary analysis. The paper advances the research stream of budget politics in public administration literature, highlighting the...

摘要：Research on representative bureaucracy highlights the importance of translating passive into active representation. But what is the motivational basis that underlies this translation? Drawing on theories of social identity and intergroup behavior, we argue that bureaucrats belonging to underrepresented groups actively represent their own group because of a desire for positive distinctiveness. Two large-scale conjoint experiments were performed using a unique sample of 1929 frontline investigat...
