• Meta-governance and network formation in collaborative spaces of uncertainty: The case of Swedish refugee integration policy AI翻译
  作者：Qvist, Martin

  摘要：This article examines the relationship between a meta-governing role of government and processes of network formation, based on a study of a governance initiative for improvement of refugee 'activation' services in Sweden. Meta-governance is centred on supporting the development of self-regulatory capacity within discretionary spaces of action and has, so far, primarily been associated with a specific type of interdependency-driven networks. This article focuses on an alternative scenario, whe...

• FROM RED TAPE TO WHICH PERFORMANCE RESULTS? EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RED TAPE AND VARIOUS DIMENSIONS OF PERFORMANCE IN HEALTHCARE WORK UNITS AI翻译

  摘要：Decades of research on red tape have still to provide final answers as to whether red tape reduces performance. This may be due to not distinguishing the different dimensions that public service performance consists of. Shifting the focus to rules and their characteristics, this study analyses how the degree of compliance burden and lack of functionality of rules relates to overall and dimensional public performance. Building upon the argument that red tape reduces resources and motivation and...

  摘要：After a service failure, citizens expect a recovery strategy that restores perceived justice and places a reasonable value on their loss. Offering monetary compensation is a strategy commonly used in private settings, but less so in public settings. To date, compensation effects have not been researched in public settings. To investigate citizens' evaluations of perceived justice, negative emotions and post-recovery satisfaction we used a 2 (sector: public, private) by 2 (compensation promised...
• Context matters: A Bayesian analysis of how organizational environments shape the strategic management of sustainable development AI翻译

  摘要：Public administration scholars have argued the need for a 'general theory' linking strategic management to the context in which public organizations operate. Understanding the interplay between organizational contexts and strategic management responses to urban sprawl and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remains an underexplored avenue for empirical advancement of this goal. Using 2015 survey data, we employ a novel Bayesian item response theory (IRT) approach to test how land use policy compreh...
• Representative bureaucracy and specialist knowledge in the European Commission AI翻译
  作者：Christensen, Johan; van den Bekerom, Petra; van der Voet, Joris

  摘要：The article addresses an issue that has received little attention in the literature on representative bureaucracy, namely the relationship between representativeness and specialized expertise in public administration. While representation may strengthen the legitimacy of public bureaucracies, what implications does it have for expert knowledge in these organizations? This issue is examined by looking at the recruitment of civil servants to the European Commission, an international bureaucracy ...
• European Commissioner cabinet advisers: Policy managers, bodyguards, stakeholder mobilizers AI翻译

  摘要：The article investigates the substantive and dimensional aspect of advisers' policy work in the cabinets of European Commissioners. Advisers' roles are mapped using Connaughton's (2010a) typology of four adviser types and Maley's (2015) framework of three arenas. Using data collected via a survey and follow-up face-to-face interviews with European Commissioner cabinet advisers in the Juncker Commission in 2015, it is shown that the majority of those agents perform policy coordination and polit...
• Political advisers in Portugal: Partisanship and loyalty in policy processes AI翻译
  作者：Silva, Patricia
  作者单位：Universidade de Aveiro
  摘要：This article aims to contribute to the current debate regarding the role of political advisers in Portugal. It does so by empirically analysing appointments to positions within ministers' private offices, specifying when and why such advice is sought and accepted by ministers. Multivariate analysis is complemented with elite perspectives on the roles of ministerial advisers. Results suggest that parties in government appoint political advisers to ministers' private offices as a strategy to leg...

  摘要：This study explores the coordination mechanisms managed by the central governments of the European Union (EU) in order to develop negotiation positions for their plenipotentiaries in the Council. Utilizing novel data from an expert survey, the first part examines the relationships within and between the structures and processes of EU coordination, the actors involved, and the mechanisms' efficacy. The analysis shows that highly formalized coordination mechanisms are associated with developing ...
