摘要：The hybridization of digital commons and public administration institutions led by bureaucratic entrepreneurs is a relatively recent phenomenon that has received limited attention in the literature. The term coined to describe this evolution is the commonization of digital public goods and services. I define commonization as the integration of shared property, peer production, and self-governance into public administration. To explore the democratizing potential of commonization, I conducted a...

摘要：Attracting talent to public administration is a highly relevant issue of practical concern and scholarly debate. Building on unique survey data of 424 individuals who switched jobs to join public administration, this study explores public employer attractiveness in a multi-incentive setting, accounting for the experiences of a less explored population (i.e., job switchers) that may have different preferences regarding public sector employment compared with the more commonly investigated studen...

摘要：This study investigates how dissent and guerrilla government research shape theory and practice in public administration. The research takes a metasynthetic approach to a traditional systematic review by incorporating ethnographic methods to synthesize the state of the dissent and guerrilla government research. The findings suggest that dissent plays a critical role in the public sector, such as promoting transparency and accountability and fostering a learning culture through feedback. Howeve...

摘要：Do populist politicians increase the number of political appointments when they assume power? While the existing literature identifies politicization and political appointments as leading populist strategies, empirical evidence remains limited. Given the elusive nature of political appointments, it is challenging to assess their true extent in various contexts. Our research highlights how exemptions from a merit-based process are a major indicator of politicization. Through a systematic analys...

摘要：Do government actions, or inactions, committed decades (or centuries) ago toward a specific community influence how members of that community trust and perceive government today? Past government actions that extracted resources (a negative resource effect) and communicated an individual's place within American Society (a negative interpretative effect) may diminish trust. This paper explores this question by examining the relationship between the county-level lynching rate of Black Americans f...

摘要：How can understanding the practice of government ministers help us to understand changes in public administration over time? Interviews with former UK ministers suggest that their practice has changed over the last 25 years. Their executive role has been accentuated as they have come to emphasize the importance of delivery and implementation to policy making. Reasons for that are examined, and consideration is given to how that shift in emphasis affects the ministers-civil servant relationship.

摘要：Appointing bureaucrats based on merit and protecting them from excessive political interference have become bedrocks of modern bureaucracy. Populist leaders throughout the world, however, are looking to undermine merit systems and politicize bureaucracies. This study analyzes the impact of merit-based appointments and bureaucratic autonomy on service delivery effectiveness, using longitudinal data from a panel of African countries. Throughout Africa, social, economic, and political conditions ...

摘要：Theories of blame suggest that the institutional design of public service delivery affects citizens' blame of politicians for service failure, and that delegation or contracting out reducing citizens' blame of politicians. We replicate experimentally James et al.'s blame study to assess whether the findings still apply in the original, Western context, and if the findings can be generalized to East Asia (Hong Kong and South Korea). Our replications (N=3600) show support for contracting out to ...

摘要：Most networking activities in the public administration literature focus on formal networks, yet less attention has been paid to the function of informal networks, which are critical mechanisms for transmitting information and knowledge. This study fills this gap by examining the impact of informal networks on policy tourism, an important channel for policy learning and intergovernmental collaboration. Using China as a case, we indicate that local leaders' informal networks facilitate the init...
