  摘要：Revenue-motivated policing is a common explanation for law enforcement behavior. This means in times of fiscal stress police alter their behavior to increase the financial returns to their actions. But does variation in the institutional features of local governments lead to variation in law enforcement behavior? Using a plausibly exogenous measure of revenue need, this research explores how fiscal institutions that determine a local government's ability to retain ticketing revenue interact wi...

  摘要：During a global pandemic, individual views of government can be linked to citizens' trust and cooperation with government and their propensity to resist state policies or to take action that influences the course of a pandemic. This article explores citizens' assessments of government responses to COVID-19 as a function of policy substance (restrictions on civil liberties), information about performance, and socioeconomic inequity in outcomes. We conducted a survey experiment and analyzed data...
• Social equity and LGBTQ populations in African public administration: A macro- and micro-approach AI翻译
  作者：Meyer, Seth J.

  摘要：How do public administrators understand social equity toward lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals and communities? To better understand social equity, this study uses data on the views of public and nonprofit administrators in 33 countries in Africa on LGB people. Based on these responses, we gain a better understanding of homophobia in public administrators. Furthermore, this data helps public administrators to explore how social equity might look differently to public and nonprofit a...
• How status-group power differentials shape age discrimination within US federal agencies: Evidence from EEOC formal complaint filings, 2010-2019 AI翻译
  作者：Krause, George A.; Park, Jungyeon
  作者单位：University System of Georgia; University of Georgia; University of South Alabama
  摘要：Age discrimination is a systemic problem of the American administrative state that undermines both the caliber and performance of the U.S. federal government workforce. A theory is proposed, anchored on discrimination against age-eligible employees (age 40 and over) representing a social identity group, to explain how status-group power differentials between supervisors and non-supervisors within U.S. federal agencies explain the organizational incidence of formal discrimination complaints. Th...

  摘要：Our research centers on the role of city managers in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. We begin by asking: What was the experience of city managers during the COVID-19 pandemic? Drawing on interview data from 87 US city managers we identify four emergent themes: crisis management, organizational and leadership contexts, unintended outcomes, and administrative impacts. We then apply Comfort's (2007) four Cs-cognition, communication, coordination, and control-to the inter...
• Effectiveness, efficiency, and equity tradeoffs in public programs: A citizen experiment AI翻译

  摘要：Debates over public programs frequently focus on questions of effectiveness, equity, and efficiency and the tradeoff among these objectives. Missing from the literature is whether the general public cares about these tradeoffs, can perceive such differences, and will act on them. This article reports on two pre-registered vignette experiments where the effectiveness, equity, and efficiency are assessed relative to experimental treatments focused on U.S. K-12 education involving test scores, eq...

  摘要：Weather-related disasters during the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the vulnerabilities of individuals and households, and concurrent disasters are becoming more of the norm as we face more extreme weather patterns. This study seeks to extend administrative burden scholarship to better understand the administrative burdens (real and perceived) that a citizen experiences when applying for disaster assistance while facing concurrent disasters. Using logistic regression analysis and Generalized St...
• Beyond hollowing out: Public sector managers and the use of external management consultants AI翻译

  摘要：Expenditure on management consultants in public sector organizations is generally seen as contributing to a hollowing out of the state through the substitution of internal management capability. However, there is little systematic evidence for this view which also ignores how public sector managers may, themselves, drive consulting use. Looking at 125 English public hospitals over 6 years, we explore the relationship between the development and composition of management functions and spending ...
• Nudge in the news: Ethics, effects, and support of nudges AI翻译
  作者：Tummers, Lars
  作者单位：Utrecht University; Utrecht University
  摘要：Governments use nudges to stimulate citizens to exercise, save money and eat healthily. However, nudging is controversial. How the media frames nudge impacts decisions on whether to use this policy instrument. We, therefore, analyzed 443 newspaper articles about nudging. Overall, the media was positive about nudges. Nudging was viewed as an effective and efficient way to change behavior and received considerable support across the political spectrum. The media also noted that nudges were easy ...
• Do reputational threats influence the rigidity of US agencies? A dynamic panel data approach AI翻译
  作者：Boon, Jan; Wynen, Jan; Verhoest, Koen
  作者单位：Hasselt University; University of Antwerp; University of Antwerp
  摘要：What happens to organizational rigidity when public organizations faced reputational threats over time? Do they take external criticism as incentives to become less rigid and more innovative and flexible through employee involvement and empowerment? Or do reputational threats paradoxically contribute to the very rigidity that is often stereotyped as inherent parts of government? Building on threat-rigidity theory, we test the temporal relation between reputational threats (both in terms of the...
