• Achieving collaborative innovation by controlling or leveraging network complexities through complexity leadership AI翻译

  摘要：Recent innovation research in the public sector demonstrates the advantages of collaborative innovation, but also recognizes the complex character of collaborative innovation processes. These complexities might both stimulate and hinder collaborative innovation. Through a qualitative comparative analysis of empirical data from 19 public-private innovation partnerships (PPIs) in five European Countries, we show how particular types of complexity leadership (i.e., generative leadership and admin...

  摘要：A key question of public sector innovation (PSI) scholarship is: which factors influence innovation? This paper focuses on managerial practices as drivers of PSI and addresses two research questions. First, how have the main types of managerial reforms-pertaining to marketization, results-orientation, and collaboration-influenced PSI? Second, how have different features of public sector reform strategies influenced PSI? Using survey data from 19 European countries, we show that reforms focusin...

  摘要：While policy design scholars have made significant conceptual and empirical advances in identifying and evaluating procedural tools, there has been a little focus on understanding how they interact with the more traditional substantive elements of a policy mix and their critical functions in policy mix designs. As a result, there is uncertainty about how procedural tools affect policy effectiveness-at adoption or over time. To address this gap, we propose a framework for deconstructing policy ...
• Learning to govern: A typology of ministerial learning styles AI翻译

  摘要：A quirk of the Westminster system is that Ministers invariably have to learn on the job. Yet learning has been surprisingly understudied in work on executive government in Britain especially. In this paper, we offer a systematic account of Ministerial learning based on a comprehensive analysis of the Ministers Reflect archive-the largest dataset of research interviews with former Westminster ministers ever assembled. We identify six distinct learning styles-incremental, risk-averse, managerial...

• The consistency of question-order bias in a changing political context Six large-scale surveys on trust and perceptions of pandemic governance effectiveness AI翻译

  摘要：Question-order bias is a well-known weakness of surveys commonly used in public administration research. However, most research on question-order bias uses question-order experiments that are relatively small, performed in one context, and rarely replicated. We carry out six question-order experiments in six large-scale Belgian surveys conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. All experiments vary whether the respondents see questions regarding the effectiveness of pandemic governance or trust i...
• Can details depoliticize? An examination of the formalization strategy AI翻译
  作者：Hansen, Jesper Asring
  作者单位：Aarhus University; Aarhus University
  摘要：Political superiors bestow legitimacy on decisions when delegating authority to agencies. Yet, research convincingly demonstrates that the delegation of authority to agencies does not guarantee depoliticized decisions. political principals with the intent of signaling depoliticization may limit agency discretion by invoking a formalization strategy: a strategy where the principal details what constitutes a legitimate decision. The argument of this study is that this strategy falls short in ach...
• Disentangling the separate and combined effects of privatization and cooperation on local government service delivery AI翻译

  摘要：Inter-municipal cooperation is often regarded as an alternative to privatizing local public services. But cooperation and privatization can also be combined into a dual reform package in which several municipalities jointly issue contracts relating to multiple jurisdictions. Evaluation of these mixed cooperation-privatization reforms rests on disentangling the separate and combined effects of each strategy. This we undertake for the case of solid waste collection in Catalonia, using environmen...
• Getting what you expect: How civil servant stereotypes affect citizen satisfaction and perceived performance AI翻译

  摘要：This study tests whether civil servant stereotypes affect how citizens experience public service delivery. Using a pre-registered survey vignette experiment (n = 1130), we activate civil servant stereotypes (negative, positive, or control) and assess whether this affects subsequent perceptions and evaluations of public services. Results indicate that stereotypes shape experiences, with the activation of negative stereotypes leading to lower levels of satisfaction and perceived performance, com...
• Applying an intersectional understanding of extra work behavior and emotional exhaustion in local public service AI翻译

  摘要：In recent years, public administration scholars have started paying attention to intersectionality of government workforce identities and its implications for diversity management. This study unpacks how the intersection of multiple identities increases the transaction costs inherent to under-representation by looking at employee engagement in uncompensated extra-role behaviors and its effect on emotional exhaustion. Using a structural equation model, we analyze original survey data of Los Ang...
