  摘要：Public bureaucracies address challenging and complex problems by applying agile work practices when standard operating procedures or routines fail. In these situations, public managers need to decide whether to exploit existing bureaucratic routines or explore novel solutions through non-routine agile work practices. This study shows how public managers maneuver between different adoption decisions: (1) remain ambivalent and reject agile, (2) accommodate the needs of the bureaucracy and adjust...

  摘要：A survey experiment on US elected local policymakers allows us to test how incumbents strategically use infrastructure projects in their electoral campaigns. Each local official is presented with a scenario in which they are asked to imagine that they are going to run for office again and that a new infrastructure project has just been approved in their district. We manipulate the type of project and whether it is delivered by the local government, private actors, or a mixture of the two. We f...

  摘要：Cross-sector collaborations bring together organizations with different values, missions, and goals to achieve shared outcomes. However, how accountability is attributed across sectors remains unclear, particularly given the potential influence of sector bias on citizen perceptions. Recent research suggests that clear information can mitigate such bias. Using a pre-registered 3 & times; 2 between-subjects experiment (N = 1515), we examine whether information cues about sector contributions (le...

  摘要：Social equity is politically polarized, with advocates contending that it is a governance mandate and opponents claiming that it promotes reverse discrimination and inefficiencies. When implementing policies and programs, local bureaucrats must maneuver within this legal, ethical, normative, and political battlefield. This polarization can also be seen in budgeting processes when municipalities decide what to prioritize within their budgets. While some are leading their budgeting process with ...

  摘要：Strategic improvisation often occurs in fast-paced decision-making environments. Yet, improvisation has received little scholarly attention in public administration and management. This knowledge gap leads to the study's research question: what drives strategic improvisation in the emergency services of a developing country? To answer this research question, the article examines the socio-structural pathways to strategic improvisation by drawing on survey questionnaire data collected from serv...

  摘要：Despite the growing number of minority elected officials, extant research has yet to understand if minority political representation improves social equity of budget allocation. This study tests whether having more minority representatives on county legislative bodies is associated with higher government redistributive spending, a key indicator of equitable resource distribution. Drawing on Peterson's (1981) classification of government programs into developmental, redistributive, and allocati...
• Prioritizing Along Prototypes: Implicit Citizenship Theories in Decision-Making at the Frontline AI翻译

  摘要：Public employees are expected to treat all citizens equally; however, due to limited resources and increasing demands, they often simplify their decisions by prioritizing based on social categories. Whereas previous studies have often focused on a few or even a single category at a time, this article employs a broader framework consisting of six citizen prototypes that public employees apply simultaneously in their assessments. The results of a choice-based conjoint experiment reveal that the ...

  摘要：Recent research has examined various aspects of the government's use of artificial intelligence (AI), including its implications for accountability as well as the policy and management recommendations proposed to address some related concerns. However, two important gaps remain and need further empirical exploration. First, it is unclear why accountability in AI-based system use is viewed as such a critical issue. Second, it is uncertain to what extent existing policy and management recommenda...
• How Do Strikes and Lockouts Affect Applications to Danish Public Service Professional Education Programs? A Synthetic Control Analysis AI翻译
  作者：Heide, Christian; Keppeler, Florian
  作者单位：Aarhus University
  摘要：With fewer young people entering public service, public employers and the corresponding trade unions aim at signaling that they offer attractive working conditions. However, in the struggle for attractive conditions, labor market conflicts occur between public employers and public sector unions when bargains fail. According to signaling theory, such conflicts could serve as negative signals and thus decrease attraction to the profession. We investigate the signaling effects of two large-scale ...
• The Right Key for the Right Lock: How Government Response Methods and Demand Types Affect Citizen Satisfaction AI翻译

  摘要：Faced with diverse and complex demands from citizens, the government has consistently sought ways to enhance its ability to respond. Metaphorically, citizens' needs can be viewed as locks, and the government requires keys to unlock them. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an innovative new key offering a fresh paradigm for unlocking the door to high citizen satisfaction. Drawing on government responsiveness theory, this study applies a 2 & times; 3 between-subjects survey experiment to explore th...
