In the field experiment, public and private leaders were randomly assigned to a control group or one of three leadership training programs: Transformational, transactional, or a combined program. Employee responses from 463 organizations show that the training can affect leadership behavior posit...

  摘要：This article examines the effect of fiscal slack on government corruption using the US states in the period from 1998 to 2012 as a research sample. Fiscal slack in the US states is commonly referred to as rainy day funds (RDFs),which are intended as countercyclical reserve funds for government-wide purposes. Theoretically,bureaucracy models predict that fiscal slack might catalyze the embezzlement or misuse behaviors of bureaucrats, who are considered to be budget maximizers. However,formally ...

  摘要：Evidence for the fundamental presumption that municipal structure matters for government performance is smaller and weaker than many might expect.

Municipal structure is operationalized by constructing an index on a political-administrative scale based on seven essential structural characteristics. As the index score increases, the municipal structure becomes less ...

  摘要：Securing privately owned critical infrastructure from cyberattacks poses a novel challenge for the modern regulatory state. In this domain, the interests of the government are only partly aligned with those of nongovernmental owner-operators, necessitating some sort of state action. However, because (1) security conditions change swiftly and (2) the information and tools necessary for effective planning and response are distributed across the private and public sectors, standard regulatory too...

  摘要：Volunteer use in the United States constitutes a service delivery alternative in which public agencies involve citizens to assist in delivering public services. This article provides a resource dependence and transaction costs explanation for why local governments in the United States may involve volunteers in service delivery. Using a survey of local government service delivery arrangements, we analyze a repeated cross-sectional dataset derived from four separate years to examine the factors ...

  摘要：Past studies raise concerns that generic transactional leadership has low effectiveness and may reduce intrinsic motivations and commitments in the public sector. This study introduces public value-focused transactional leadership (PVTL) as transactional leadership that makes public values central in employee job expectations and rewards and fills gaps in transformational leadership. A dyadic study finds that managers using public values in transactional leadership have significantly greater l...

This research focuses on the role of the interaction between vertical and shared leadership in promoting agency performance. Specifically, it examines the joint effects of shared leadership and transformational leadership on team empowerment and performance in public settings. Based on field study data collected from 74 street-level bureaucracies and 423 public servants in Brazil, we find eviden...
