  摘要：Numerous studies have linked a range of economic, social, and institutional variables with corruption in government. Yet, most of this literature overlooks the management of public officials themselves. This is a relevant omission: almost all corrupt exchanges involve public officials. This article reviews studies36 in totalthat do address civil service management and anti-corruption. It finds that prior works assess a narrow set of civil service management structures. Meritocratic recruitment...
• Organizational reputation and risk regulation: The effect of reputational threats on agency scientific outputs AI翻译
  作者：Rimkute, Dovile

  摘要：This article aims to explain the variation in the scientific risk assessments conducted by two regulatory agencies: the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (ANSES). To explain the merits of scientific risk assessments that have caused polarization within the EU, this article draws on bureaucratic reputation theory. The theory argues that regulators are political organizations that are active in protecting their ...
• Macro-economic coordination and elusive ownership in the European Union AI翻译

  摘要：The notion of ownership is well known in relation to global governance. In the realm of EU macro-economic coordination, it has become a buzzword since the revamping process of the European Semester in 2015. This article investigates how ownership by four types of domestic actors (governments, administrations, parliaments and social partners) manifests itself in the European Semester. We conceptualize three types of ownership, namely institutional, political, and cognitive. Using network analys...
• Structural reform histories and perceptions of organizational autonomy: Do senior managers perceive less strategic policy autonomy when faced with frequent and intense restructuring? AI翻译

  摘要：Through recurrent structural reform programmes governments are on a quest to design public organizations that will stand the test of their environment. One of the approaches to uncertain or sensitive issues has been to create various forms of (semi-)autonomous organizations with substantial strategic discretion. However, while governments repeatedly experiment with designs, one might simultaneously expect that such interference through repeated structural change may limit the degree of strateg...
• Multicultural public administration: Effects of language diversity and dissimilarity on public employees' attachment to employment AI翻译
  作者：Ritz, Adrian; Alfes, Kerstin
  作者单位：University of Bern; heSam Universite; ESCP Business School
  摘要：A major part of research in public administration focuses on the impact of ethnic diversity on outcomes such as performance and turnover, and on the management of diversity with regard to different employee groups. Recent research, however, shows the relevance of relational demography in the context of employee inclusion in public organizations. So far, most studies have been based on ethnic differences in countries that can be described as mononational and monolinguistic. The current study ad...
• Outsourcing, bureaucratic personnel quality and citizen satisfaction with public services AI翻译
  作者：Dahlstrom, Carl; Nistotskaya, Marina; Tyrberg, Maria
  作者单位：University of Gothenburg
  摘要：This article investigates the relationships between outsourcing, bureaucratic personnel quality (BPQ) and citizen satisfaction with public services. Our baseline expectation is of a negative association between outsourcing and service quality; however, we argue that this tendency can be counteracted when the government buyer has a more competent and motivated personnel, not only in managerial positions, but across the board. Better-educated and paid public employees are likely to have an impor...

• Conflict reconsidered: The boomerang effect of depoliticization in the policy process AI翻译
  作者：Wolf, Eva E. A.; Van Dooren, Wouter
  作者单位：University of Antwerp; University of Antwerp
  摘要：This article argues that the efforts of policy-makers to avoid conflict in the short run can be counterproductive in the long run. Not only may policy-makers fail to reap the benefits of conflicts when they try to steer clear, but conflict may actually increase rather than diminish. We study conflict through the conceptual lens of (de)politicization in the lengthy and highly contested policy-making process over the multibillion-euro Oosterweelconnection' highway in Antwerp (Belgium). An in-dep...
• The introduction of public-private partnerships in the Netherlands as a case of institutional bricolage: The evolution of an Anglo-Saxon transplant in a Rhineland context AI翻译

  摘要：In this contribution, the introduction of contractual public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the Netherlands, more specifically the use of Design, Build, Finance, Maintenance, and Operations (DBFMO) contracts in Dutch infrastructure management, is analysed using a specific strand within the policy transfer and institutional transplantation literature: that of institutional bricolage'. This perspective states that policy transplants come to fit their new institutional context stepwise. This cont...
• When less is more: On politicians' attitudes to remuneration AI翻译
  作者：Pedersen, Lene Holm; Pedersen, Rasmus T.; Bhatti, Yosef
  作者单位：University of Copenhagen
  摘要：While politicians' remuneration is a key issue in the relationship between citizens and politicians, there is still limited knowledge about the politicians' own views on this issue. This article investigates how politicians' attitudes regarding pay are affected by their motivation, political ideology and party position as well as institutional position. Using data from a survey among municipal politicians in Denmark (n = 838), our analyses suggest that politicians with different levels of extr...
