  摘要：The study investigates how contractual and relational governance influence partner behaviors and promote sustainability performance of infrastructure public-private partnerships (PPPs). Survey data from 217 Chinese PPP projects were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. This study found that both contractual and relational governance have positive effects on PPP sustainability, with contractual governance having a stronger impact. Contractual governance complements...

  摘要：Organizational learning has long been recognized as a key determinant of success, yet research often overlooks how individual mechanisms initiate and drive collective learning over time. Utilizing policy tourism as an indicator of intercity learning, we construct an interlocal learning network among US cities from 2009 to 2016. Employing a temporal exponential random graph model, our findings suggest that the member duality of local managers can initiate and facilitate self-organizing learning...
• Promoting Citizens' willingness to participate in coproduction in public service through information frames AI翻译

  摘要：Public service provision reform widely calls for coproduction. Based on the framing effect theory, we took waste sorting as a research context and explored the effects of goal frames and temporal frames on citizens' willingness to participate in coproduction through two between-subject survey experiments. We found that citizens' participation willingness was significantly increased when using goal frames or temporal frames. Furthermore, compared with gain frames, the effect of loss frames on c...
• Strategic types, implementation, and capabilities: Sustainability policies of local governments AI翻译

  摘要：The success of strategic plans is dependent on strategy implementation, yet little research has been conducted on strategy implementation relative to the strategy formulation stage. This article casts research questions on how organizational capabilities and resources affect strategy implementation, and how the implementation differs by strategic type. To address the climate change problem, local governments mobilize and allocate capabilities and resources and implement policy actions. Utilizi...
• Exploring collaboration dynamics and representation in environmental justice councils AI翻译
  作者：Ambrose, Graham
  作者单位：Syracuse University
  摘要：A collaboration's ability to convene diverse stakeholders and knowledge is often associated with success. However, a more nuanced evaluation of representation is needed to understand if meeting-level factors (e.g., who attends as well as including facilitators or external technical experts) influence representation. This article examines representation via two-way communication in meetings to explore: (1) patterns of discussion across sectors (i.e., appointed citizens, agency delegates, and ex...
• Enabling boundary spanners in public-private collaboration: The impact of support and role autonomy on reducing role stress AI翻译

  摘要：Boundary spanners are pivotal in developing effective public-private collaboration in public infrastructure projects. As boundary spanners have to account for different interests, perspectives, and ways of working in public-private collaborations, engaging in boundary-spanning activities often comes with role stress, which can negatively impact their job performance. However, despite the significant levels of role stress associated with boundary spanning, there is a dearth of empirical studies...
• A comparative study of governance changes on the perceptions of accountability in Fire and Rescue Services in England AI翻译
  作者：Lakoma, Katarzyna
  作者单位：University of Nottingham; Nottingham Trent University
  摘要：Public organizations are increasingly held accountable by multiple institutions and standards. This study explores how key actors perceive accountability changes in Fire and Rescue Services in England. However, few studies have examined perceptions of accountability where long-established governance arrangements are changing. The UK's Policing and Crime Act 2017 provided for a new model of governance in the form of a single directly elected commissioner to replace the traditional indirectly el...
• Skeptic, enthusiast, guarantor or believer? Public managers' perception of participatory budgeting AI翻译

  摘要：Participatory budgeting (PB) aims to enhance citizens' participation in local government. While there is a significant body of literature on PB, few studies investigate the role of internal actors in its management. This study aims to understand public managers' perceptions of the whole PB process. Using the Q-methodology on a sample of Italian local governments experienced in PB, we analyze the perspectives of public managers, revealing four approaches to PB, which we classify as skeptics, en...
• Which job attributes attract individuals high in public service motivation and self-efficacy to a public service job? AI翻译

  摘要：Which job attributes attract prospective high-performing individuals to a job in the public sector? Research shows that the particular attributes of a job influence perceptions of job attractiveness. Moreover, public service motivation (PSM) and self-efficacy are valuable individual-level traits for public service performance. This article examines how variation within particular job attributes that are generic to many public service jobs may attract (or discourage) potential workers high in P...
• Larger, Not Leaner? Agencification and the Size of the Administrative Overhead in Local Governments AI翻译
  作者：Kartvedt, Leif E.
  作者单位：University of Oslo
  摘要：Governments establish agencies to enhance public service efficiency, aiming to improve government performance. However, agencification makes governments' service delivery more complex by putting service providers at arm's length from governments' control. To retain their capacity to support frontline service delivery, governments may expand their central administrative overhead. Conceptually, overhead constitutes resources available to support primary production processes in the organization, ...
