How to promote ethical conduct in the public sector has been discussed extensively in the public administration literature, yet empirical studies that employ comprehensive datasets are rare. This study proposes a hybrid model to explain ethical performance in local governments. Results of our study point to the importance of leadership in creating ethical organizations. Analysis of comprehensive survey data collected from local governments supports our hypothesis that organizational leadership not only promotes ethical behavior directly but also indirectly through reinforcing ethics culture in local governments. This paper discusses the practical implications of our findings and advances some recommendations to enhance ethical conduct in the public sector.
如何促进公共部门的道德行为在公共管理文献中得到了广泛的讨论,但采用综合数据集的实证研究很少。本研究提出一个混合模型来解释地方政府的道德绩效。我们的研究结果指出了领导在创建道德组织中的重要性。从地方政府收集的综合调查数据分析支持了我们的假设,即组织领导不仅可以直接促进道德行为,还可以通过加强地方政府的道德文化来间接促进道德行为。本文讨论了我们的研究结果的实际意义,并提出了一些建议,以加强公共部门的道德操守。

A little understood reason for the success of the Biden Presidency is the occupant's range of role diversity. His multiple forms of leadership allow him to present himself as the situation warrants at a moment's notice. This skill refers not just to varied speaking styles but wholly different personae. Eight of these roles are illustrated and evaluated: Mentor, Commander, Lawgiver, Warrior, Advocate, Visionary, Preacher, and Comforter.
拜登在总统任期内取得成功的一个鲜为人知的原因是,总统的角色多样化。他的多种领导形式使他能够在接到通知的瞬间根据形势的需要表现自己。这种技巧不仅指不同的说话风格,也指完全不同的人物。其中八种角色被说明和评估:导师、指挥官、立法者、战士、倡导者、梦想家、传教士和安慰者。

“We’re Not the Cure, We’re Just the Band-Aid”: The Interplay of Structure, Culture, and Practice in Police Service Provision to Persons with Mental Illnesses “我们不是治愈者,我们只是创可贴”:警察为精神疾病患者提供服务的结构、文化和实践的相互作用

This study uses the constellation approach of transition theory as a theoretical framework to depict the ways in which facilitators and barriers in police system's structure, culture, and practice interact to shape police response to persons with mental illnesses (PWMIs). The study utilizes the framework method to analyze 57 in-depth interviews with police officers in Texas. Using a hybrid approach of inductive and deductive thematic analysis, we develop a matrix of four quadrants characterizing the constellation of mental health service provision by police: (1) structural barriers (deficits in resources, unsuccessful collaboration, lack of training), (2) structural facilitators (crisis intervention teams, informal cross-disciplinary collaborations, technology), (3) cultural barriers (role conflict, perceived inability to help, stigma), and (4) cultural facilitators (the police mission ‘to serve and protect’, improving police public image, managerial support). The study ends with recommendations for the scaling up of police mental health service provision to PWMIs.
本研究以转型理论中的星座方法为理论框架,探讨警察系统结构、文化和实践中的促进因素和障碍因素如何相互作用,从而影响警察对精神疾病患者的反应。本研究采用框架法对德克萨斯州57名警官进行深度访谈分析。使用归纳和演绎主题分析的混合方法,我们开发了四个象限矩阵,表征了警察提供的心理健康服务的星座:(1)结构性障碍(资源不足、合作失败、缺乏培训),(2)结构性障碍(危机干预团队、非正式跨学科合作、技术),(3)文化障碍(角色冲突、感知到的无法提供帮助、污名化),以及(4)文化障碍(警察“服务和保护”的使命、改善警察公众形象、管理支持)。研究报告最后提出建议,建议加强警察向伤残人士提供的心理健康服务。

Street-Level Bias: Examining Factors Related to Street-Level Bureaucrats’ State or Citizen Favoritism 基层偏见:检视基层官僚对国家或公民的偏袒

Administration of street-level bureaucrats requires prior knowledge of what affects their use of discretion. However, there is a lack of understanding as to what influences their decision-making when choosing between claims made by the state or by its citizens. Without such knowledge, public administration at the street-level can sustain the perception that street-level bureaucrats have a state-preference bias, lowering citizens’ view of public service delivery by those perceived as the face of governance. This study focuses on decisions street-level bureaucrats make when resolving disputes between citizens and other state officials. Using real-world resolutions made over three decades by lower-court judges in Israeli civil tax disputes, the findings reveal a link between factors associated with street-level bureaucrats’ common characteristics and state favoritism in their resolutions. The findings also imply that policymakers who want to mitigate such outcomes can use citizen administrative participation-based influencers to promote street-level bureaucrats’ pro-citizen tendencies.
管理基层官僚需要事先了解影响他们使用自由裁量权的因素。然而,对于在国家或公民提出的索赔之间进行选择时,是什么影响了他们的决策,人们缺乏了解。如果没有这些知识,基层的公共管理就会维持这样一种观念,即基层官僚有国家偏好偏见,从而降低公民对那些被视为政府代表的人提供公共服务的看法。这项研究的重点是街头官僚在解决公民和其他国家官员之间的纠纷时所做的决定。通过对30多年来以色列民事税收纠纷中基层法院法官做出的现实裁决的分析,研究结果揭示了街头官僚的共同特征与他们的裁决中国家偏袒的相关因素之间的联系。研究结果还表明,想要减轻这种结果的政策制定者可以利用基于公民行政参与的影响者来促进街头官僚的亲公民倾向。

Competition and Local Government's Choice Between Informal and Formal Collaborative Mechanisms: Measuring Dyadic Intercity Competition Through the Lens of Business Trade-Offs 竞争与地方政府在非正式与正式合作机制之间的选择:以商业权衡为视角衡量二元城市间竞争
Pub Date : 2023-04-01 DOI: 10.1177/02750740231171685

Informal and formal collaborative mechanisms are distinctive self-governing strategies that local governments use to mitigate intergovernmental collaboration risks. Studies on local governance have long argued that both mechanisms tend to co-occur and appear mutually complementary. However, extant research drawing on the transaction cost perspective provides a more nuanced and different explanation that as intergovernmental competition increases, local governments lean toward the choice of a formal mechanism over an informal mechanism to effectively address higher collaboration risks. Through a network lens, this study empirically tests the latter view. Using the Orlando metropolitan area as a testbed, Multiple Regression Quadratic Assignment Procedure tests reveal that the use of both collaborative mechanisms is positively associated with the level of intergovernmental competition. However, different from the initial expectation, local governments are more likely to engage in the informal mechanism rather than the formal mechanism as the competition level increases. In doing so, this study developed a new measurement strategy for intergovernmental competition to test the dyadic network-related research hypotheses. The measurement strategy and the research findings should inform future research on intergovernmental relations and local government network management.
非正式和正式合作机制是地方政府用来减轻政府间合作风险的独特自治策略。长期以来,关于地方治理的研究一直认为,这两种机制往往是共存的,并且是相辅相成的。然而,现有的基于交易成本视角的研究提供了一个更细致和不同的解释,即随着政府间竞争的加剧,地方政府倾向于选择正式机制而不是非正式机制来有效地应对更高的合作风险。本研究通过网络视角对后一种观点进行了实证检验。以奥兰多大都市区为测试平台,多元回归二次分配程序测试表明,这两种合作机制的使用与政府间竞争水平呈正相关。然而,与最初预期不同的是,随着竞争水平的提高,地方政府更倾向于参与非正式机制而不是正式机制。在此过程中,本研究开发了一种新的政府间竞争测量策略,以检验二元网络相关的研究假设。测量策略和研究结果可为今后政府间关系和地方政府网络管理的研究提供参考。

Untangling the Association Between Goal Clarity and Public Service Motivation With the Moderating Role of Value Congruence 目标明晰与公共服务动机的关系:价值一致性的调节作用
Pub Date : 2023-04-01 DOI: 10.1177/02750740231170013
Gookjin Kim, Namhoon Ki, Taewon Yoon
Drawing on the socialization aspect of public service motivation (PSM) and the internalization process of organizational values, this study empirically tests the argument that goal clarity leads to higher PSM, with a specific focus on the moderating role of value congruence between them. Using data from 4,133 Korean public employees in the 2021 Public Employee Perception Survey, the current study finds that individuals’ perception of goal clarity generally has a positive relationship with their PSM, especially among those who have high individual–organization value congruence. We also discovered that certain matched levels of both goal clarity and value congruence are crucial for the positive relationship between clear goal perception and PSM to exist. This study concludes that the relationship between goal clarity and PSM is not straightforward, but instead follows a U-shaped pattern, characterized by a decrease followed by an increase. This implies that perceiving clearer goals may have a demotivating effect on some employees; those with relatively low levels of goal clarity and, therefore, low goal congruence (i.e., lack of internalization of clear organizational goals) would instead be demotivated as they perceive clearer goals.
本研究借鉴公共服务动机的社会化方面和组织价值的内化过程,实证检验了目标清晰导致更高的公共服务动机的观点,并特别关注两者之间的价值一致性的调节作用。利用2021年公共雇员感知调查中的4133名韩国公共雇员的数据,目前的研究发现,个人对目标清晰度的感知通常与他们的PSM呈正相关,尤其是那些个人与组织价值一致性高的人。我们还发现,目标清晰度和价值一致性的一定匹配水平对于明确目标感知与PSM之间的正相关关系的存在至关重要。本研究得出结论,目标清晰度与PSM之间的关系不是直接的,而是遵循u型模式,其特征是先降低后增加。这意味着,更清晰的目标可能会对一些员工产生消极影响;那些目标清晰度相对较低的人,因此,目标一致性较低(即,缺乏清晰的组织目标的内化),反而会在他们感知到更清晰的目标时失去动力。

This study measures the behavioral effects of continuing resolutions by examining their impact on federal procurement activities. The restrictions imposed by continuing resolutions are explored as an example of political control over a public organization. The analysis employs a dataset describing the timing of U.S. Marine Corps purchase orders for goods and services. Individual purchase orders were sampled over a four-year period (2016−2019) that endured continuing resolutions of different lengths. The analysis examines the impact of continuing resolutions on the number of purchase orders initiated, the duration of their review period, and the dollar amount per request. The results depict multiple impacts that appear to concentrate on requests for services rather than commodities. These findings help quantify the magnitude of the disruptions caused by federal budgetary dysfunction.
本研究通过检查持续决议对联邦采购活动的影响来衡量其行为效果。将持续决议所施加的限制作为对公共组织进行政治控制的一个例子加以探讨。该分析采用了一个描述美国海军陆战队货物和服务采购订单时间的数据集。在四年期间(2016 - 2019年)对个人采购订单进行抽样,这些订单经历了不同长度的持续决议。分析审查了持续决议对发起的采购订单数量、审查期限和每项请求的美元数额的影响。调查结果显示了多重影响,这些影响似乎集中在对服务而非商品的需求上。这些发现有助于量化联邦预算功能失调造成的破坏程度。

Analytic Bureaucracy and the Policy Process: Evidence from California 分析官僚主义与政策过程:来自加州的证据
Pub Date : 2023-03-21 DOI: 10.1177/02750740231164414
Henry Flatt, Nhat-Dang Do
We argue that “analytic” bureaucratic agencies are essential actors in the policy process because of their role acting as both information processing organizations and policy design specialists. Analytic agencies can exert unique influence over lawmaking activities because legislators consider them expert informational sources in a multitude of areas. Rather than assume policy advice falls rigidly into either “political” or “technical” forms of information, we show that an analytic office can produce both types of content. Whereas previous policy process scholarship almost exclusively examines elected officials and federal agencies, this article tests our theory using a state agency, California's Department of Finance (DOF). Our findings demonstrate how the Governor delegates partisan legislative signaling duties and neutral expert budgetary advice to the same trusted analytic personnel. The data include every introduced bill in six recently completed legislative sessions and show how DOF recommendations are strongly associated with bill passage and the Governor's veto.
我们认为,“分析型”官僚机构在政策过程中是必不可少的行动者,因为它们既是信息处理组织,又是政策设计专家。分析机构可以对立法活动施加独特的影响,因为立法者认为他们是众多领域的专家信息来源。我们不是假设政策建议严格地分为“政治”或“技术”信息形式,而是表明分析办公室可以生成这两种类型的内容。以前的政策过程研究几乎只考察民选官员和联邦机构,而本文用加州财政部(DOF)这一州立机构来检验我们的理论。我们的研究结果表明,州长如何将党派立法信号职责和中立的专家预算建议委托给同样值得信赖的分析人员。数据包括最近完成的六次立法会议中提出的每一项法案,并显示了DOF建议如何与法案通过和州长否决密切相关。

Intra-Organizational Communication in Public Agencies: The Effects of Contracting Out Core Services 公共机构内部沟通:核心服务外包的影响
Pub Date : 2023-03-16 DOI: 10.1177/02750740231162346
Federica Fusi, Fengxiu Zhang, E. Welch
This article develops and tests a set of hypotheses examining how contracting out of public services affects intra-organizational communication in public agencies (i.e., the principal organization). We draw from two competing perspectives: contracting scholarship argues that outsourcing reduces an organization's structural complexity and enhances intra-organizational communication, while organizational communication studies suggest that outsourcing might lead to fragmented communication pathways and a loss of information. In order to reconcile these perspectives, we examine how different characteristics of an organization's contracting network affect both the internal gathering and dissemination of information. Using survey and contractual relationship data from approximately 200 US transit agencies, we find that contracting out a large portion of services improves intra-organizational communication but this positive effect decreases as the number of contractors grows. Long and stable relationships with contractors negatively affect intra-organizational communication, especially when occurring with private—as compared to public—contractors. Our results suggest the need to further investigate intra-organizational communication in contracting networks and better understand how it may affect organizational performance and contract management.
本文开发并测试了一组假设,研究公共服务外包如何影响公共机构(即主要组织)的组织内沟通。我们从两个相互竞争的角度得出结论:外包学者认为,外包降低了组织结构的复杂性,增强了组织内部的沟通,而组织沟通研究表明,外包可能导致沟通途径的碎片化和信息的丢失。为了调和这些观点,我们研究了组织契约网络的不同特征如何影响内部信息的收集和传播。通过对大约200家美国运输机构的调查和合同关系数据,我们发现,将大部分服务外包可以改善组织内部的沟通,但随着承包商数量的增加,这种积极影响会减弱。与承包商长期稳定的关系会对组织内部的沟通产生负面影响,尤其是与私人承包商相比。我们的研究结果表明,需要进一步调查合同网络中的组织内沟通,并更好地了解它如何影响组织绩效和合同管理。

Using survey and contractual relationship data from approximately 200 US transit agencies, we find that contracting out a large portion of services improves intra-organizational communication but this positive effect decreases as the number of contractors grows. Long and stable relationships with contractors negatively affect intra-organizational communication, especially when occurring with private—as compared to public—contractors. Our results suggest the need to further investigate intra-organizational communication in contracting networks and better understand how it may affect organizational performance and contract management.","PeriodicalId":22370,"journal":{"name":"The American Review of Public Administration","volume":"19 1","pages":"224 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86443560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the New Public Management Movement, privatization has become a popular approach for delivering public services. However, few studies empirically assess the relationship between privatization of public service delivery and citizen participation in coproduction. Taking advantage of a national survey of U.S. local government chief administrators, this study aims to contribute to the literature by exploring the link between these two important mechanisms of public service provision. Our findings indicate that local governments are more likely to involve citizens in coproduction when a larger proportion of service delivery is privatized. Regarding various types of coproduction, privatization in public service delivery is positively associated with the likelihood of citizen involvement in co-planning, co-design, and co-assessment, but not in co-delivery. Finally, compared to for-profit service providers, involving nonprofit organizations in public service delivery is likely to create more opportunities for citizens to be involved in the coproduction of public services.
自新公共管理运动以来,私有化已成为提供公共服务的一种流行方法。然而,很少有研究实证评估公共服务私有化与公民参与合作生产之间的关系。本研究利用对美国地方政府行政长官的全国性调查,旨在通过探索这两种重要的公共服务提供机制之间的联系来为文献做出贡献。我们的研究结果表明,当更多的服务交付被私有化时,地方政府更有可能让公民参与合作生产。就各种类型的合作生产而言,公共服务提供的私有化与公民参与共同规划、共同设计和共同评估的可能性呈正相关,但与共同提供无关。最后,与营利性服务提供者相比,让非营利组织参与公共服务提供可能为公民参与公共服务的合作创造更多机会。
