摘要：Performance management has been criticized for harming or, at best, ignoring social equity outcomes. While there is evidence suggesting that performance management fosters an emphasis on efficiency and effectiveness at the expense of other public values, we are still in search of a theory linking performance management to social equity. The article takes a first step towards the development of such a theory and proposes the importance of contingency factors. It argues that managerial performan...

摘要：Job rotation is an important tool in public administration that is used to enhance learning and diversify experience among employees, while reducing opportunities for rent-seeking behaviour. The benefits of job rotation, however, may be reduced if carried out too frequently or for narrow partisan reasons. Frequent transfers and postings in a civil service characterized by life-long contracts negatively impact on-the-job learning, accountability for results, and incentives to acquire skills. Th...

摘要：Regulatory reforms labelled 'Better Regulation' are a prominent item on the political agendas of most advanced democracies and the European Union. Governments adopt Better Regulation measures to strengthen their democratic legitimacy and increase their regulatory and economic effectiveness. Notwithstanding their rhetorical appeal, their design and implementation are susceptible to high levels of political contestation. We therefore ask: are there systematic differences in stakeholders' demands...

摘要：In current thinking about public service improvement, civil servant creativity plays an important role. Using the results of 43 semi-structured interviews, we assessed the degree to which our theoretical knowledge about creativity-based primarily on business research-matches the insights of managers in local government. Respondents considered employee creativity to be important, but-in contrast to the literature-understood creativity as the act of trying out new things to better deal with spec...

摘要：Existing typologies of the European administrative space locate decision-making powers with the European Commission, member state governments, and EU and national agencies, sometimes aided through regulatory networks. This article argues that those typologies are incomplete because they do not take into account the existence of transnational executive bodies. These are public authorities that are responsible for administering and implementing EU policies across multiple member states, that are...

摘要：How does counter-terrorism legislation - enacted in democratic states - impact upon charities, Intentionally or unintentionally? To address this question, we present a new analytical framework that allows us to compare, across established democracies, how charity legislation and counter-terrorism legislation are connected, enabling us to assess how charities' legal environments have changed since 9/11. Comparing legislation across six long-lived democracies (the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand,...
