• Toward a Platinum Standard for Evidence-Based Assessment by 2020 AI翻译
  作者：Khagram, Sanjeev; Thomas, Craig W.

  摘要：The authors argue for a scientifically rigorous, contextually valid, practically relevant, and stakeholder-inclusive Platinum Standard for evidence-based assessment to improve public administration and third-parry governance in the twenty-first century. The Platinum Standard would encompass two contending gold standards. The first gold standard, based on experimental methods, counterfactuals, and average causal effects, is better known and more institutionalized in practice. The second gold st...

  摘要：Cutback management in the public sector poses unique problems. More than 30 years ago, Charles Levine illustrated these problems by discussing the paradoxes of cutback management in public organizations. Building on Levine's work on cutback management and developments in publicness theory, the author provides a contemporary perspective on cutback management. He asserts that publicness creates paradoxical tensions in different domains such as organizational goals, employee motivation, and organ...
• Woodrow Wilson's Administrative Thought and German Political Theory AI翻译
  作者：Rosser, Christian
  作者单位：University of Bern
  摘要：To what extent were Woodrow Wilson's ideas about public administration informed by German organic political theory? Drawing on the writings of Wilson, Lorenz von Stein, and Johann K. Bluntschli on public administration, and comparing American and German primary sources, the author offers insights into Wilson's general concept of public administration, as well as his understanding of the politics-administration dichotomy. With regard to current administrative research, this study underscores ho...
• Strategic Human Resource Practices: Introducing Alternatives for Organizational Performance Improvement in the Public Sector AI翻译
  作者：Kim, Jungin

  摘要：Can public sector organizations increase productivity through competition in spite of inherent limitations, such as budget constraints? This study addresses that question by examining the impact of four factors that contribute to employees' expectations regarding competitive work environments on organizational performance in terms of overall quality of work and client satisfaction. The four factors measured include rewards for merit such as salary and benefits, opportunities, organizational ru...
• Leadership and Organizational Culture: Sustaining Dialogue between Practitioners and Scholars AI翻译
  作者：Dull, Matthew
  作者单位：Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University
  摘要：Few topics in the study of contemporary public organizations better illustrate the burdens-and potential benefits-of sustaining dialogue between practitioners and scholars than the interplay between leadership, organizational culture, and public sector performance. Following two decades of intensive research and advocacy, the last 10 years have seen diminished scholarly attention to this subject, while efforts to shape culture remain central to the leadership of public organizations. This essa...
• Guerrilla Employees: Should Managers Nurture, Tolerate, or Terminate Them? AI翻译
  作者：O'Leary, Rosemary
  作者单位：Syracuse University
  摘要：Guerrilla government is Rosemary O'Leary's term for the actions of career public servants who work against the wishes-either implicitly or explicitly communicated-of their superiors. This form of dissent is usually carried out by those who are dissatisfied with the actions of public organizations, programs, or people, but typically, for strategic reasons, choose not to go public with their concerns in whole or in part. Rather than acting openly, guerrillas often move clandestinely behind the s...

  作者单位：University of North Carolina; University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
  摘要：As director of a regional council for more than 30 years, Bill Gibson is instrumental in facilitating boundary-crossing collaborations that increase public value. This Administrative Profile examines three cases of regional, cross-sector collaboration catalyzed by Gibson's leadership. Characteristics of entrepreneurship, attention to relationship capital, and the humility derived from ego strength combine with the context of working for a boundary organization to help explain his success.

• Culture Change Refined and Revitalized: The Road Show and Guides for Pragmatic Action AI翻译
  作者：Hartmann, Jim; Khademian, Anne M.
  作者单位：Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University
  摘要：Despite a declining interest in the relationship between leadership, culture, and performance in the scholarly literature, culture change is alive and well among leaders in the public sector as a means to improve performance. This essay reviews the trajectory of culture studies and proposes a modest model of organizational culture that sets aside many of the conceptual and methodological arguments about culture, focusing instead on what leaders actually do to change culture. The model is exami...
