摘要：Public services, public servants, and the study of Public Administration are operating in a context of global turbulence. Our review of the state of the discipline suggests that a core strength of British Public Administration has been the complementarity between scholarship and practice, responding to existential threats. We analyze changing relationships between the discipline and practice in British public administration over three eras: Applied, fragmented, and impactful. The applied era s...

摘要：Do no harm (DNH) represents a foundational moral framework for public administration ethics. Prohibitive moral principles, rather than aspirational values, provide a more coherent and operational basis for ethical public service-even when confronting demands for proactive intervention. Bernard Gert's theory of common morality reveals how rationality and impartiality underpin moral rules designed to prevent fundamental harms, while acknowledging challenges of defining and ranking competing harm...

摘要：Understanding how public organizations can lower employee burnout is important because burnout negatively affects both employee well-being and service effectiveness. This study explores whether public service motivation (PSM) can help alleviate burnout among frontline public sector workers, who frequently encounter high job demands and conflicting roles that heighten burnout risks. Analyzing two-wave matched survey data from police officers collected in 2019 and 2021, this study examines wheth...

摘要：Legitimacy is a central concern for independent agencies tasked with shaping policies. While expertise-based and reputation-sourced authority bases are assumed to be relevant for agency legitimacy, their individual and joint effects on citizens' perceptions lack comprehensive examination. To address this gap, the study integrates insights from bureaucratic politics, bureaucratic reputation, and cognitive psychology. Our survey experiment with Dutch citizens, focusing on the European Food Safet...

摘要：Interpersonal networks are pervasive in state bureaucracies around the world. To what extent do they explain bureaucratic career trajectories? And are they driven more by political patronage and connections to influential bosses, or by information-sharing and trust-building among peers? We address these questions by constructing measures of the stock of interpersonal connections for the universe of over 440,000 Brazilian federal civil servants for the period 2000-2018. Individuals' networks st...

摘要：Administrative restructuring is an organizational phenomenon suggested to improve under-represented groups' managerial representation by disrupting networks and institutions. However, extant tests of a 'disruption hypothesis' are collectively inconclusive. We elaborate and test it with a qualitative-to-quantitative study of local health agency managers and mergers across the Italian NHS from 2014 to 2020. Agency leader interviews reveal disruption indicators: number of agencies merging, staff ...

摘要：Although qualitative research is typically seen as working with verbal text, visual representations are frequently used in qualitative research in our field. This paper examines visualization as a research practice, aiming to encourage its reflective use and further development. We contribute to the literature on qualitative research in public administration, first, by discussing key concepts and the work visuals do. Second, we explore the way visualization can enrich the research process by s...

摘要：Entrepreneurship is increasingly promoted as a way to make public sector organizations (PSOs) more effective. However, there is little evidence on how it impacts the working lives of public employees. Therefore, this study investigates whether entrepreneurial leaders in PSOs enhance organizational effectiveness while promoting employee inclusion and well-being. Based on a large survey of Australian Government employees (n = 127,436), we found that entrepreneurial leaders significantly increase...

摘要：Generating strategic foresight for public organizations is a resource-intensive and non-trivial effort. Strategic foresight is especially important for governments, which are increasingly confronted by complex and unpredictable challenges and wicked problems. With advances in machine learning, information systems can be integrated more creatively into the strategic foresight process. We report on an innovative pilot project conducted by an Australian state government that leveraged generative ...

摘要：This article discusses the state of Public Administration (PA) in Nigeria. Adapting the 2021 USAID higher education program framework, the article focuses on: (1) the ability of the field in Nigeria to provide quality and relevant education and training, (2) the progress of PA scholars at Nigerian universities in advancing knowledge through research, and (3) the engagement of scholars with local and international communities. The assessment finds that the number of PA departments and programs ...
