  摘要：The efficiency of decision-making in public organizations is a key area of interest for public administration scholars. Drawing on upper echelons theory, this study examines how top managers' empowering leadership affects decision-making speed and comprehensiveness in public organizations. Through a three-wave questionnaire survey involving 1149 TMT members from 133 public organizations in China, we tested the proposed theoretical model and hypotheses. Our findings reveal that top manager empo...
• Deservingness at the frontline: How health-related responsibility cues affect sanctioning and prioritization of citizens AI翻译

  摘要：Deservingness literature has shown that people, including frontline workers, spontaneously judge whether welfare recipients are responsible for their own situation or are victims of circumstances beyond their own control, and that these judgments shape behaviors and opinions. We contribute to this literature by examining the impact of clients' responsibility for their own sickness on how the clients are treated by frontline workers. Using a pre-registered vignette survey experiment among 1050 ...

  摘要：This article explores institutional factors as antecedents of energy efficiency policy adopted by the largest cities within the United States. Drawing on the theory of institutional isomorphism, we hypothesize that four forces-coercive, normative, and mimetic isomorphism, along with nonprofit pressure-affect the energy efficiency policy of 41 of the largest cities within the United States from 2013 to 2019. We find some evidence for coercive and normative isomorphic pressures, but conflicting ...

  摘要：Policy implementation studies have focused on encounters between street-level bureaucrats and citizens. However, insufficient research has explored how citizens experience such encounters, especially during crises. To address the research gap, this study investigated citizens' perspectives on the roles of street-level bureaucrats during the pandemic. Using a survey of Chinese citizens and employing Q methodology, we identified three distinct profiles: self-preserving implementers, public prote...
• Can Cross-Sector Collaboration Contribute to Boundaries Reshaping of Digital Government Platforms? Empirical Evidence Based on Machine Learning and Text Analysis AI翻译

  摘要：Cross-sector collaboration is regarded as an effective institution for the fragmentation of government organizations, but it is still unknown which organizational form can effectively promote the holistic governance of digital government platforms. We construct an attention-based behavioral model according to behavior theory and then explore the impact and mechanism of cross-sector collaboration on the holistic governance of digital government platforms. We show that cross-sector collaboration...

  摘要：Individualized services are provided under complex conditions, as a variety of factors can affect the ability of a street-level organization to adapt its services to individual needs and circumstances. Especially challenging are tensions between the means of control and standardization following new public management (NPM) and post-NPM ideas of holistic and coordinated services. Through a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of Norwegian sector-spanning street-level organizations, we sho...

  摘要：Emergency budgets have become indispensable fiscal tools for governments around the world to cope with disasters, but how governments determine the size of emergency budgets and to what extent such budgets are effective remain unclear. Drawing on organizational learning theory and using data collected from 30 provinces in China, we conduct a series of panel regression analysis and robustness checks to investigate the determinants and impact of emergency budgets. We find that both prior disaste...
• Entrepreneurial leadership and innovation in the public sector: The role of causal- and effectual-logic processes AI翻译

  摘要：Entrepreneurial leadership in the public sector has attracted the interest of both scholars and policymakers, as it is seen as a key determinant of innovation. This study adopts a contingency view of leadership and examines the entrepreneurial leadership-innovation relationship while also considering the moderating effects of the causal- and effectual-logic processes employed. Based on multisource data across 105 municipal departments in Greece, the findings suggest that entrepreneurial leader...
• Experiences of Administrative Burden in Context: Exploring Differences Across Countries, Policy Domains, and Socio-Demography AI翻译

  摘要：Administrative burden research finds that citizens frequently experience burdens when interacting with government. However, evidence is based predominantly on studies of Western countries and social policies. We collect survey data (N approximate to 10,000) in the USA, UK, Mexico, South Korea, and Denmark, using nationally representative samples sourced via online survey panels, to explore similarities and differences in experiences of administrative burden across countries and policy domains....
• The Bureaucracy versus Post-Bureaucracy Paradox in Public Administration: A Historical Perspective on the Selection and Training of Public Managers AI翻译

  摘要：In the historical trajectory of public administration (PA), bureaucratic and post-bureaucratic models have competed and coexisted in unstable relations. Recent studies have put forward the idea that those models constitute two poles of the paradox. Despite growing interest in this paradox perspective in PA literature, extant studies have not extensively explored it across time and multiple organizational domains. To address these gaps, this article investigates how PAs have navigated the burea...
