摘要:Standard anticorruption interventions consist of intensified monitoring and sanctioning. Rooted in principal-agent theory, these interventions are based on the assumption that corrupt acts follow a rational cost-benefit calculation by gain-seeking individuals. Given their mixed results, however, these interventions require closer scrutiny. Building on goal-framing theory, the authors argue that rule compliance requires a salient normative goal frame, since monitoring can never be perfect. Bein...

摘要:Relatively little is known about when, why, and how some jurisdictions double down on policy priorities, rapidly adopting multiple measures tackling the same issue. Rapid policy expansion can emerge in fast-evolving, uncertain, and contested policy arenas in which pressures for policy making are not satisfied, and even may be strengthened, by initial policy innovation. This article analyzes local government policy making on high-volume hydraulic fracturing by New York State municipalities from...

摘要:Public sector organizations concerned about gender inequality have increasingly sought to address the effect of implicit biases on merit-based employment practices through bias training and affirmative action programs. Applying qualitative content analysis to interviews with 104 managers in three government agencies in which bias training and affirmative action were being implemented, the authors find that many managers acknowledge the existence of implicit biases and their potential to create...

摘要:This article examines data from the first-ever nationwide survey of cybersecurity among American local governments. The data show that these governments are under constant or near-constant cyberattack, yet, on average, they practice cybersecurity poorly. While nearly half reported experiencing cyberattacks at least daily, one-third said that they did not know whether they were under attack, and nearly two-thirds said that they did not know whether their information systems had been breached. S...

摘要:Performance management has been a focus of scholars and practitioners for more than 25 years, yet the use of performance information has not greatly expanded as a result of this attention. Acknowledging that performance measurement is not an end in itself but rather a means to enhance focus on results and value, this article evaluates the determinants of the use of performance information by local government administrators. An online survey was administered to local government employees involv...

摘要:The reinventing government movement of the 1990s reshaped the public sector in significant ways. Creating a government that worked better and cost less was accomplished through streamlined federal middle management ranks and privatized service delivery, which contributed to the emergence of a hollow state. Workforce reductions that addressed short-term economic realities effectively threatened the long-term sustainability of governmental organizations and the communities they serve. A variety ...

摘要:This article examines whether and how judgments made by individual organizational actors may be influenced by institutional logics-the historical patterns of cultural symbols and material practices, including assumptions, values, and beliefs, by which individuals and organizations provide meaning to their daily activity, organize time and space, and reproduce their lives and experiences. Using an experimental design, the authors prime three institutional logics in three independent groups of m...
