摘要：This paper examines socioeconomic status (SES) as an indicator for decision-making among frontline professionals in healthcare, focusing on general practitioners (GPs). Aside from research on stereotypes, we know little about how frontline professionals reason about SES in decision-making. This study addresses this gap by investigating how GPs use SES to develop care for patients with varying SES backgrounds. Based on qualitative interviews, the study identifies three SES reasonings that are c...

摘要：Democratic Weberian bureaucracy is facing great challenges upholding public values as we see turbulent party politics disrupt merit-based systems, causing bureaucrats' goal displacement and conflicting compliance under multiple accountability mechanisms. Using vignette experiment design, 555 Taiwanese public employees were surveyed to explore how legal, administrative, and social accountabilities influence the perception of black, gray, and white corruption. While respondents accurately identi...

摘要：We provide a fuller account than previously available of the extent of change in the social backgrounds of the British civil service elite from 1945 onwards. We consider our findings in relation to questions of meritocracy in recruitment to the elite and of the representativeness of the elite of the population at large. We also address the question of whether a generalist orientation persists within the service. We show that there have been changes over time in the social class origins, school...

摘要：As the public sector increasingly adopts AI-powered automated decision systems (ADS), understanding how citizens experience and value ADS use in public decision-making is both normatively and practically important. Therefore, we examine and compare the effects of seven attributes of public values on citizens' support for ADS adoption in two real-world policy areas: healthcare and criminal justice. The results of an online conjoint experiment with approximately 1500 American adults reveal that ...

摘要：Despite the growing interest in expert involvement in policymaking, we lack a comprehensive and detailed understanding of how experts engage across both direct and indirect arenas, and which experts are most likely to be consulted. This study offers one of the first comparative analyses of academic expert involvement across multiple arenas, offering a unique view on how scientific expertise functions in policymaking. Focusing on three key arenas in Belgium-parliament, government, and the media...

摘要：This study uses a budget game experiment to study the effects of active engagement with performance information on citizens' trust in public services and voice behavior regarding those services. Participants reviewed performance information on two fictional schools, one low-performing and one high-performing, after which some participants played the budget game. Participants who participated in the game expressed lower trust in and higher subjective voice regarding both the low-performing and ...

摘要：Social justice is often theorized as fairness and expressed in equity as part of public administration and associated budgeting practices. Whereas much literature contrasted deontological positions, emphasizing a procedural justice with fairness based on rules, with consequentialist theory that emphasizes a distributional justice based on outcomes, this paper addresses lack of social justice research into practices. As politics of the budget process is fundamental to who gets what, calling upo...

摘要：The study aims to contribute knowledge about how we can understand control of digitalization and why digitalization becomes a dispersed practice. The study offers two main contributions. First, we introduce the metaphor chasing digitalization to describe the observed mode of control of digitalization. Control involved chasing after digital solutions-getting hold of things-and chasing in, which entails facilitating activities to ensure organizational adoption. The second contribution deepens ou...

摘要：Creative discretion-defined as street-level bureaucrats' use of their discretion to generate novel and useful ideas for customizing services to meet the needs of service users, superiors, and themselves-is vital as governments shift from traditional public management to a more user-centered approach, emphasizing responsiveness over technocracy. Central to this shift is creative discretion, which fosters innovative solutions tailored to citizens' needs. However, literature suggests the public s...

摘要：In this paper, I explore factors that shape citizens' agreement with street-level bureaucrats' decisions to either follow agency rules or break them for the explicit purpose of benefitting their clients (i.e., pro-social rule breaking). I use data collected via an original survey experiment (n = 3485) to assess the relative effects of information about a street-level bureaucrat's compliance with agency rules and the outcome their client experienced, asking whether the ends (e.g., a positive cl...
