  摘要：Recent micro-level research on public sector reform and change highlights the importance of employees' reactions to change. Based on the assumption that intentions determine behaviors, scholars have focused on the importance of understanding how change-supportive intentions are formed. However, how change-supportive intentions translate to change-supportive behaviors over time has received less attention. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior and public administration literature, this stud...
• State Fiscal Constraints and Local Responses: Evidence from the Property Tax Limit Overrides in Massachusetts AI翻译
  作者：Wei, Wenchi; Butler, J. S.
  作者单位：Renmin University of China; University of Kentucky
  摘要：This research examines the determinants of the likelihood of property tax limit override attempts and successes in the context of Massachusetts's Proposition 21/2. The authors apply the Leviathan government theory, median voter theory, and agenda-setting theory to develop theoretical expectations and use data from Massachusetts municipalities for 1991-2013 as a sample for empirical tests. Override attempts are not randomly proposed; therefore, the two-stage Heckman selection model is used to a...
• Spillover Effects of Minority Representation on Majority Bureaucrats' Behavioral Change AI翻译
  作者：Li, Danyao

  摘要：Representative bureaucracy scholarship has rarely examined whether passive representation of minorities changes the behavior of majority bureaucrats. To address this omission, this article explicitly tests the relationship between the two, in the context of traffic law enforcement. Using individual-level data over multiple years in Washington and South Carolina, analyses show that minority representation has spillover effects on decisions made by White officers. They are more likely to treat d...
• Incentivizing Regulatory Participation: Effectiveness of a Fundraising Levy AI翻译
  作者：Rutherford, Alasdair C.; McDonnell, Diarmuid; Hogg, Eddy
  作者单位：University of Stirling; University of Birmingham; University of Kent
  摘要：In the absence of a statutory instrument to enforce payment of a regulatory fee, regulators must rely on a combination of carrots and sticks to encourage financial contributions by the organizations they oversee. In contrast to studies of public funding of nonprofits, this article empirically evaluates the effectiveness of a government policy to rely on nonprofit funding of statutory regulation. The authors exploit a sharp discontinuity in the eligibility threshold for charities contributing t...
• Getting a Grip on the Performance of Collaborations: Examining Collaborative Performance Regimes and Collaborative Performance Summits AI翻译
  作者：Douglas, Scott; Ansell, Chris
  作者单位：Utrecht University; University of California System; University of California Berkeley
  摘要：Collaborative governance is popular among practitioners and scholars, but getting a grip on the performance of collaborations remains a challenge. Recent research has made progress by identifying appropriate performance measures, yet managing performance also requires appropriate performance routines. This article brings together insights from collaborative governance and performance management to conceptualize collaborative performance regimes; the collection of routines used by actors workin...
• Comparing Cost Accounting Use across European Countries: The Role of Administrative Traditions, NPM Instruments, and Fiscal Stress AI翻译
  作者：Mohr, Zachary T.; Raudla, Ringa; Douglas, James W.

  摘要：Cost accounting in public organizations is not often studied from a comparative perspective, particularly at the national level of government. While it is often claimed that factors such as New Public Management (NPM) and fiscal stress are the primary drivers of government cost accounting, an important but understudied factor is the administrative tradition of the government, which may influence the use of cost accounting and tools like it. This article examines the perceptions of top public e...
• Just or Unjust? How Ideological Beliefs Shape Street-Level Bureaucrats' Perceptions of Administrative Burden AI翻译

  摘要：Existing research finds that increases in administrative burden reduce client access, political efficacy, and equity. However, extant literature has yet to investigate how administrative burden policies are interpreted by street-level bureaucrats (SLB), whose values and beliefs structure uses of discretion and client experiences of programs. In this article, we utilize quantitative and qualitative data to examine SLB policy preferences regarding administrative burden in Oklahoma's Promise-a me...
• Government Openness and Public Trust: The Mediating Role of Democratic Capacity AI翻译
  作者：Schmidthuber, Lisa; Ingrams, Alex; Hilgers, Dennis
  作者单位：Vienna University of Economics & Business; Leiden University - Excl LUMC; Leiden University; Johannes Kepler University Linz
  摘要：The open government paradigm implies that public processes are becoming more transparent, public information is available online, and citizens and nongovernmental organizations are encouraged to interact with public administration through new platform-based forms of participation and collaboration. Though these governmental efforts to open up organizational procedures to the public are meant to strengthen the relationship between citizens and the government, empirical evidence is currently spa...
• Creaming among Caseworkers: Effects of Client Competence and Client Motivation on Caseworkers' Willingness to Help AI翻译
  作者：Guul, Thorbjorn Sejr; Pedersen, Mogens Jin; Petersen, Niels Bjorn Grund
  作者单位：Aarhus University; University of Copenhagen
  摘要：Frontline employees cope with high workloads and limited resources by directing their work attention and efforts toward particular clients. Yet, the role of client attributes in frontline employees' efforts to help clients remains undertheorized and empirically understudied. Using a survey experimental vignette design (2 x 2 factorial) among 1,595 Danish caseworkers, the authors of this article provide new knowledge on how two generic nondemographic client attributes-competence and motivation-...
• Expanding the Reach of Representativeness, Discretion, and Collaboration: The Unrealized Potential of Public Administration Research in Atrocity Prevention AI翻译

  摘要：Mass atrocities constitute a wicked problem that warrants greater attention from public administration scholars. The role bureaucrats have in committing or contributing to mass atrocities is well documented yet bureaucrats also have the potential to play crucial roles in stopping current, preventing future, and responding to past atrocities. Despite the central role of public administrators in mass atrocities and prevention, public administration scholarship is largely silent on such topics, e...
