摘要:The federal service experienced unprecedented turnover in the first year of the second Trump administration. Early reports have documented the substantial losses of personnel and the politicization and antagonism underlying those changes. This research breaks down separations over the past year, with a focus on the Deferred Resignation Program (DRP), to understand where turnover occurred and how it affected organizational knowledge and capacity. The analysis examines federal workforce data fro...

摘要:Street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) directly affect citizens, making them central to public service delivery. Service success therefore hinges on public sector organizations' ability to recruit competent SLBs. We argue that citizens' perspectives should inform SLB recruitment, especially for contact-intensive, relational frontline roles. Yet public administration research has not integrated citizens' perspectives into SLB recruitment, despite a broader shift toward a service-user orientation. We t...

摘要:While AI is reshaping public services, the acceptance of diverse AI-based public service innovations by citizens has not been fully examined. This study conducted a video-based experiment involving 2254 citizens and four types of AI: mechanical, empathetic, analytical, and intuitive. The results show that mechanical AI was significantly more accepted by citizens, whereas empathetic AI was significantly less accepted. Acceptance of the other two types of AI was moderate, with no significant dif...

摘要:Abortion access in Italy provides a case to examine how gendered administrative burdens emerge through the interplay of legal provisions, informal frontline practices, and contextual influences. Drawing on the Context-Mechanism-Outcome framework from realist evaluation, the analysis shows how legal access to abortion is constrained by procedural requirements, widespread conscientious objection among healthcare providers, and the institutional presence of anti-abortion actors. Using qualitative...

摘要:Previous studies on sectoral choice have examined environmental and genetic factors in isolation, with little consideration of how gene-environment interactions influence public service employment selection. Notably, altruism-related genes have been found to play a critical role in shaping prosocial behaviors. This study investigates how early traumatic experiences affect individuals' choice of public service employment through the mediating role of religious participation. It further investig...

摘要:The federal government continues to face persistent challenges in recruiting and retaining skilled talent, particularly in high-demand technical fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity. While compensation gaps are often cited, growing evidence suggests that institutional rigidities and non-pecuniary disincentives-ranging from opaque hiring procedures to limited flexibility-constrain the public sector's ability to attract and retain expertise. This paper provides a compreh...

摘要:Strengthening the role of evidence in policy-making is increasingly seen as crucial for the quality and legitimacy of public policies. Both among practitioners and scholars, there is a growing awareness that evidence-informed policy-making not only depends on the rigor and relevance of the research, science communication or features of policy-makers. It also depends on how expertise arrangements in public organizations are organized. Yet, we currently lack a solid understanding of how organiza...

This article examines Brazil's PA and highlights its key PA innovations, specifically: (a) inclusive public policy councils with substantial oversight of implementation; (b) legislative public accoun...
