摘要:How do policy entrepreneurs change policy when politicians are not directly involved in the process? While public policy scholars have examined the conditions under which politicians refrain from direct engagement in policy design, they have paid less attention to the strategies policy entrepreneurs employ in the absence of political actors. Drawing on textual analysis and 30 in-depth interviews with members of the Roim Rachok (Looking Ahead) program, which facilitates the inclusion of individ...

摘要:The United Nations' fifth Sustainable Development Goal calls for gender equality and empowerment. Gender budgeting (GB) has been proposed as a potential mechanism to reduce gender disparities. This is a novel approach to budgeting that considers the impact of public spending on women and other underrepresented groups. Despite its growing popularity, spreading to over 80 countries since its launch in the 1980s, the effectiveness of GB remains less understood. This study tests whether GB has led...

摘要:The complex nature of top public managerial work is widely acknowledged in theory but rarely examined empirically. Existing research has mostly analyzed bivariate relationships among core components of top managerial work in government, including managers' attributes, practices, outcomes, and contexts. Drawing on a systems-based framework, we investigate how effective top managerial work unfolds as a complex relational practice. We analyze seven cases of long-serving, distinguished Chilean sen...

摘要:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is adopted in public organizations as a transformative innovation, yet how value prioritizations unfold in AI adoption processes remains underexplored. Therefore, we ask: How do public values unfold in AI adoption processes in public organizations? We conducted a qualitative case study of an AI adoption process at the radiology department of a Dutch academic hospital after the decision to adopt is made and before implementation, using ethnographic fieldwork, interv...

摘要:Existing research on citizen participation in co-production has largely focused on instrumental factors, with limited attention to value-driven motivations. This study investigates the role of value-driven factors in shaping citizens' willingness to engage in co-production, specifically examining benefit creation and responsibility-driven motivations. It develops an analytical framework and tests it through a survey experiment on community environmental governance. Results show that both publi...

摘要:Regulatory instruments to manage the COVID-19 pandemic have been the object of rich scholarly debates, primarily focused on early national responses to the crisis. We investigate variation in sub-national regulatory approaches when a crisis is normalized, its association with competing political ideas about the health-economy trade-off and the coercion-persuasion continuum, and the specificities of the socio-economic context to be regulated. We systematically compare the regulatory approaches ...

摘要:AI systems in public administration challenge the premise that value creation arises from managers' strategic mediation among the vertices of Moore's strategic triangle: Public value, legitimacy, and operational capacity. AI imposes new logics that reshape vertices and their interaction dynamics. Critically, these transformations become entrenched through what we term algorithmic public value lock-in: the crystallization of contingent value definitions into durable technical infrastructures re...

摘要:The representative bureaucracy literature asserts that minority personnel in public organizations can promote their social group either through their own behavior or by influencing other staff members or focal citizens. However, these phenomena have not been examined in wartime settings in ethnically homogeneous and heterogeneous organizations. Through the qualitative paradigm, we compare ethnically homogeneous schools (with only Jewish or Arab students and staff) and ethnically mixed schools ...

摘要:A whole community strategy is central to disaster management and community resilience in the United States. However, the specific means by which community-level stakeholders in the private and nonprofit sectors function as partners with government agencies in providing key disaster-related services are currently underexamined. Here, we present unique data assessing one significant community stakeholder category: US universities and colleges. Doing so presents a useful opportunity to examine ho...

摘要:Collaborative governance is becoming a practical imperative. At the same time, resolving complex public affairs could offer opportunities to overcome bottlenecks, while Artificial Intelligence (AI) could help. This study draws on polycentric governance theory and multilayer network theory to explain why collaborative governance could occur and how it could be influenced by AI, respectively. Mathematical deductions from both micro and macro perspectives are employed to reinforce this theoretica...
