摘要：The second Trump administration saw the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a group of outsider technologists given extraordinary power to pursue a massive downsizing of the federal government. They also displaced an alternative approach: the civic tech movement. Civic tech for government applies technology, data, and human-centered design to improve policy implementation, fueled by prosocial motivation, promising to increase state capacity in a way that centers attention on public ser...

摘要：Responsible algorithmization refers to the use of algorithms in the public sector while safeguarding public values. Approaches to responsible algorithmization suggested by the EU, OECD, and others depart from a rational perspective and highlight formal structures and procedures. This paper complements this perspective by adding a natural perspective, which emphasizes sense-making and actual practices. This natural perspective is used for a set of ethnographic studies of algorithmization in thr...

摘要：Gender inclusion and diversity have become increasingly important in local governance as a tool to improve equitable public decision-making. Despite these efforts, the representation of women in leadership roles, particularly those heading initiatives such as social equity budgeting (SEB), varies greatly by municipality. Using a survey of North Carolina municipal governments, this study investigates the determinants of women's leadership in budget and finance offices. The paper examines three ...

摘要：Government adoption of AI opens the pandora's box of accountability, a core aspect of public value. Despite the centrality of governmental AI accountability, citizens' concerns and preferences in holding governments accountable for AI usage remain poorly understood. To address these puzzles and advance knowledge on AI accountability in non-Western democracies, we conducted a mixed-method study using data collected from Chinese citizens. A story-completion study (N = 50) suggested concerns over...

摘要：Coproduction is an established element in public service provision, linked to positive outcomes such as increased service quality and quantity. Realizing these outcomes requires skills and motivation from street-level professionals and lay actors alike. Nevertheless, research has long questioned professionals' willingness to engage in coproduction because lay input challenges their professionalism. However, existing research often treats lay input as a uniform, challenging factor, overlooking ...

摘要：While public administration research has begun exploring the impact of women's representation in top leadership positions in public organizations, the conditions under which women's representation in top management teams (TMTs) produces policies specifically benefiting women remain underexamined. Using a panel dataset covering 276 Chinese municipalities (2010-2018), this study examines how women's representation in mayoral teams affects women-sensitive policy adoption. Fixed-effects Poisson re...

摘要：This paper investigates the attitudes of public servants toward government-mandated equity-focused public sector hiring. We study this in the context of the Federal Character Principle (FCP) in Nigeria, which exists to ensure ethnic, gender, and religious representation in the federal civil service. Utilizing in-depth interviews of mid-level employees in select ministries, we ask: (1) do Nigerian public servants value the FCP? (2) do they experience a sense of diversity and inclusion within th...

摘要：This study investigates the intergenerational transmission mechanisms of policy feedback, focusing on how past policies influence citizens' behavioral intentions across generations in the context of China's fertility policy changes. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies, we investigate how experiences with the one-child policy affect individuals' intentions under the current pro-natalist policy. Logistic regression analysis reveals that individuals whose parents complied with the one-...

摘要：Public organizations increasingly use digitally enabled platforms such as 311 (a nonemergency service in the United States) to facilitate coproduction and improve service delivery. While prior research has examined coproducers' motivations, we know little about motivations for digital coproduction. This study examines whether residents who engage in digital coproduction are motivated by self-interest or community orientation, and whether motivations vary by neighborhood-level income. Using sup...

摘要：How do the strategies that governments employ when they encounter crisis-induced turbulence affect the robustness of the political regime in which they operate? Comparative studies of the connection between government strategies and political regime robustness under different cultural and institutional conditions are few and far between. This article studies the vaccination strategies that governments in Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Hungary, and Italy employed in their respective responses to th...
