摘要:This study examines whether and where bureaucratic representation occurs within the bureaucratic hierarchy and how intergovernmental representation contributes to government efforts to reduce social disparities and improve gender-related outcomes. The context is the national/central, ministerial, and regional governments of the United Republic of Tanzania for 14 years (2006-2019). The findings reveal that gender representation at the upper level of government plays a primary role in reducing p...

摘要:For over a century, the value of employee protections and limits on direct political control has been the sine qua non of a merit-based bureaucracy for the US public service. Such assumptions are at odds with the desire of populist governments to exert control over institutions of governance. This tension emerged during the Trump administration. Trump's Schedule F Executive Order sought to transform much of the career public service into political appointees, allowing them to be removed if the...

摘要:Theoretical discussions have emphasized the role of public management, and evidence from various contexts across the globe supports the positive link between public management and organizational outcomes. However, previous research has lacked a comprehensive approach to testing the management-performance link. Furthermore, less is known about the management-performance link in the Asian context. Using a formal model of public management, the present study examines the impacts of Moore's manage...

摘要:The field of public administration offers differing perspectives on the contributions of senior managers and street-level bureaucrats to performance, focusing generally on the presence rather than absence of these actors in the policy process. This study explores whether job vacancies among senior managers and lower-level employees affect service delivery and how any effects differ by type of employee. Using panel data from South African local governments between 2011 and 2015, we estimate the...

摘要:While public service professionals may rely on stereotypes and social categories in exercising who gets what, when and how in clientelist citizen-state interactions, it remains unclear whether negative judgments similarly pervade in settings where citizens help produce-rather than consume-public services. We propose that service professionals judge volunteers as incompetent based on (1) a lack of the skills necessary to solve specific tasks, and/or (2) negative stereotypes toward volunteers as...

摘要:What views do people have of public sector workers? Public sector workers are often portrayed negatively. It is unclear, however, to what extent such negative perceptions are shared among different groups in society. Using a large representative survey in the Netherlands, we study whether people's socioeconomic status is related to having more negative stereotypes about public sector workers. Contrary to expectations, education and income are unrelated to stereotypes. We do find a relation wit...

摘要:Westminster administrative systems were characterized by a clear separation between the political careers and roles of elected ministers and career civil servants. The former set the values or aims of the organization; the latter utilize those values when generating policy ideas. This separation provides what H.A. Simon calls procedural rationality. The decision premise of public servants is (1) an apolitical commitment to government service, and (2) a commitment to advise on and implement the...
