摘要：Although red tape remains a significant policy concern and despite meta-analytical research showing that it impacts employee and performance outcomes, research elucidating why and under which conditions it does so remains scarce. Using social cognitive theory, we first hypothesize that the relationship between red tape and job satisfaction is mediated by self-efficacy. Second, we argue that red tape is particularly harmful for job satisfaction in high-individualistic cultures. Using a survey d...

摘要：This study examines how the nature of public administration and local and regional governance affects domestic terrorism in 73 mixed and democratic countries from multiple regions and levels of development. In conducting a cross-national statistical analysis from 1991 to 2019 with standard political, economic, and social controls, and controlling for endogeneity, we find that domestic terrorism increases when public administration is more partial, biased, corrupt, and unreliable, and as local ...

摘要：This paper investigates how pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) of public sector employees can be stimulated using management control. We mobilize the theory of planned behavior to hypothesize that employee environmental concerns are associated with PEBs, and that this relation can be strengthened by management control instruments that provide structure and signals about prevailing norms. Using survey data from 151 public sector employees, we find support for most of our expectations. Specifica...

摘要：Aggressive use of the administrative power of the presidency is a major source of public administrative concern about the health of American democracy. Many of these powers stem from executive branch reorganization in the late 1930s, which was conceived and implemented by founding figures in the modern field. Fear for democracy defined reorganization. Reorganizers elaborated a working theory about the conditions under which strong presidential administration could preserve and strengthen democ...

摘要：Globally, technological innovations are driving governments towards e-government adoption. Digitization efforts have met with more resistance and challenges in the Global South context due to high levels of financial, logistical, and technical constraints. The information and communication technology for development literature provides two lenses for examining e-government adoption: structural conditions (e.g., infrastructure, financial resources) and the affective orientations (e.g., attitude...

摘要：A new mayor's transition period is widely regarded as important to their overall success, yet mayoral transitions have received little research attention. This exploratory, mixed-method study of 15 newly elected U.S. mayors combines primary survey data of time use with two waves of mayoral interviews to illuminate the nature and purposes of mayoral activities during the transition period. Analyses of the survey data suggest that mayors' activities vary significantly and are associated with a r...

摘要：Public administration research has increasingly turned to network analysis to understand complex inter-organizational and interpersonal dynamics. While the discipline has made significant progress in analyzing networks, it has yet to adequately address causality. This gap limits our ability to provide evidence-based insights to practitioners who must make strategic decisions within networks. This article calls for the systematic integration of causal design into network research. We identify c...

摘要：Drawing on the literature on bureaucratic discretion, this study conducts a large-scale, nationwide causal analysis of the effects of body-worn cameras (BWC) in the United States (US). It employs a staggered difference-in-differences (DiD) approach using 12 years of panel data (2008-2019) covering 697 local police agencies. The findings indicate that BWC adoption had no significant effect on White arrests but led to an approximately 5.5% decrease in Black arrests. Importantly, the reduction in...
