The aim of the study is to fill the gap in the existing literature by presenting a comprehensive and theoretically sound framework that examines the interplay between the attributes of political will, public management reform design and implementation, the results they yield and the impact of external factors on these variables. Drawing upon the systematic literature review, the research develops a conceptual framework of political will and applies it to the context of public management reforms in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A wide range of databases are used from secondary sources including Worldwide Governance Indicators, Failed State Index, Global Innovation Index, and Transparency International. The results show that the UAE government's strong commitment to reforms, as well as its ability to implement those reforms effectively, has contributed to positive outcomes in areas such as economic development and public service delivery. UAE has liberalized its economy and institutionalized innovative practices. All actors are involved in reform initiatives. Given the developmental clientelist regime in the UAE, political leadership has played an instrumental role in successfully implementing public management reforms. The UAE Government has ensured capacity-building efforts and proper incentives such as Government Excellence Awards are in place for the continuity of reform initiatives. Other government regimes could potentially benefit from the approaches employed by the UAE government in undertaking public management reform initiatives. The results challenge the common assumption that monarchical regimes are unable to drive such changes and instead demonstrate that a development-focused clientelist state can effectively implement incremental reforms in public management. The proposed conceptual model will also potentially guide future empirical research in the field.

This article aims to test a model of the antecedents and consequences of green public administration. Hence, a quantitative research approach and a structured questionnaire were used to address the issue and the formulated hypotheses. The survey was conducted in Urmia, a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic city northwest of Iran. Using a multi-stage cluster sampling, a sample of 550 citizens was selected and questioned from the five districts of Urmia. The collected data were analyzed to test the hypotheses using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that green innovation, green environmental ethics, and green governance have a positive and significant effect on green public administration. In addition, a positive and meaningful impact was found between green public administration and green citizenship value, intention to participate in green city, and green social value. The study clearly revealed that green public administration as a new concept in the developments of the government has not yet been entered correctly into management and the lack of theorizing in this regard is noticeable in the world in general and in Iran in particular

This study aims to determine the correlation between four variables, gross domestic product per capita (GDP), population (Pop.), Individuals using the Internet (It.net.user) and the global innovation index (GII) regarding the development of e-government according to the E-government Development Index (EDGI). The purpose is to determine which model best predicts the behavior of the variables and to provide tools that can guide decision-making in public policy and e-government. Four hypotheses were proposed about the relationship between the variables and the E-government Development Index. The data about GDP, Pop., It.net.users, and GII for the analysis were extracted from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the World Bank and Cornell University, INSEAD, and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) respectively. The database consisted of a panel of 91 countries analyzed in the time interval from 2003 to 2020, with a total of 1683 observations. A linear panel data model was used, and fixed and random effects models were estimated. The Hausman test was applied, and it was determined that the appropriate statistical model was a fixed effects model. This model was used to test the four hypotheses. All of them were accepted.

The relationship between the public sector size and economic growth is the subject of many discussions. Momentarily, the four elementary streams are defined, while the resulting impact depends on the monitored sample of the countries and the employed methodology. The aim of the paper was to identify the impact of the public sector size on the economic growth of the 27 EU countries in the period 1996 to 2021. The public sector size was quantified using four different variables as total public expenditure, total public revenue, tax revenue and final government consumption. Through panel regression, the negative impact of the public sector size on the economic growth of the EU countries was demonstrated in all four models, while the most significant negative impact was reached by the final government consumption. The significant negative impact of the crisis presence on the economic growth of the EU countries was also demonstrated. The EU countries should focus their activities there to diminish the public sector growth and to manage the structure of the government expenditures from the current to capital expenditures of an investment characteristic.

Public sector reform is one of the Government of the Republic of Serbia strategic goals. The strategy envisages the improvement of the human resources management system, which includes the development of professional capacities. In order for public sector reform to achieve its contribution, it is necessary to develop effective leadership at all levels. The effectiveness of the leadership process is influenced by many factors. One of the factors refers to the characteristics of the leader, his abilities and skills to make and implement optimal decisions. The decision-making process itself also depends on the circumstances, i.e. the situation in which the decision is made, as well as the environment that affects the decisionmaking process. There are situations that are certain, where the decision maker has sufficient information and can immediately see the effects of each alternative before implementation. In that case, decision-making is significantly facilitated, because it boils down to the technical problem of quality assessment of alternatives and their comparison. But, in most cases, the circumstances, that is, the environment is uncertain and complex. The decision-maker in such situations usually does not have enough information and therefore it is difficult or impossible to check their effectiveness and develop potential alternatives. The main goal of the work is to use the new multicriteria decision-making method PIPRECIA to evaluate and define the importance of key factors influencing the behavior of leaders and contributing to the effectiveness of the leadership process important for the implementation of reforms in the Republic of Serbia public sector. The results of this method application indicate that the key factor influencing the leader's behavior is C5-Characteristics of the leaders. The results provide important information to managers of public organizations on how to manage change more effectively.

This article presents one analysis of the management of green technology transfer within the context of Brazilian public universities. The study aimed to evaluate the existing practices and identify areas for improvement in the dissemination and absorption of environmental technologies. The research methodology employs an applied and exploratory approach, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses. The study applied a tool specifically designed to assess and support technology managers in the green technology transfer process. This tool incorporates eleven dimensions, including People, Process, Budget, Relationship, Integrated Management, Research and Development (R&D) in Green Technologies, Intellectual Property, Valuation, Commercialization, Environment, and Society. To analyze the effectiveness of the developed tool, a diagnosis was carried out in the Brazilian scenario. The survey identified and evaluated 413 university-registered groups that are actively involved in green research. The collected data were analyzed using statistical techniques such as Pearson's linear correlation coefficients, multivariate analysis, and factor analysis. The findings highlight several gaps and challenges in the green technology transfer process. These gaps present opportunities for improvement and call for universities to develop strategic measures to address them. Collaborative efforts with Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) and research groups within the institutions are also crucial in bridging these gaps. The study concludes by urging universities to adopt strategies that focus on reducing identified gaps and promoting sustainable collaboration between academia and industry in the field of green technology transfer. Overall, this research points to the current state of green technology transfer management in Brazilian public universities, providing valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing the process and driving sustainable innovation in the country.

In the past decade, the topic of Smart City is indisputably one of the most important concepts in the development of cities and urban regions in Central and Eastern Europe, their management and planning, while innovations and innovation potential are becoming a prerequisite for functioning connections and processes within integrated local (or geographical) functional areas. The Slovak Republic is gradual, despite the difficult beginnings without system coordination, declaring an effort to implement the Smart City policy within the existing residential structure of cities and municipalities. Relying on the Action Plan for Smart Cities and Regions 2023-2025 as well as the Slovakia Program 2021- 2027, at the same time the results of world studies and analyzes carried out in the conditions of the Slovak environment (while we start from the findings and follow up on the study by Kóňa et al. 2022), the authors identify in their research as the main problem the fact that the attention of the state, professional public, as well as local authorities, is aimed at supporting the creation of Functional Urban Areas in the geographical structure of individual regions with the aim of supporting the development of six defined areas, the so-called „domains”, which ultimately brings about an increase in the quality of life of the population of these regions. However, given domains are ambiguous in terms of content, this variability is also reflected in the inability of participating parties to perceive their content. As part of the research, respondents were asked about six areas of smart city policy implementation, the aim of the research was to identify the content perception by the respondents according to the weight they assign to individual areas and subsequently define within individual domains the elements/characteristics perceived by the population as key to the growth of the quality of their lives in cities and regions.

Digital transformation and artificial intelligence are major challenges for a diversity of fields. The central and local administrations of the states need major and deep structural changes to reduce bureaucracy and public expenses, but also to significantly improve the quality of services, productivity, accessibility, and transparency of public institutions. Digitization and artificial intelligence are gradually integrated into state administrations and the governance process, and the results obtained confirm a visible increase in managerial, economic, and social efficiency. These aspects determine state governments to progressively design and implement strategies for digitalization and artificial intelligence within public services. Public investments needed for these changes are necessary for the sustainable development of the public sector. EU states are encouraged to make massive public investments to integrate artificial intelligence applications in public services and to operationalize digital transformations necessary for efficient and intelligent public administrations.

In the previous research, it was determined how leadership competencies are shaped in selected foreign military academies, ie the American Military Academy West Point (USMA) and Theresian Military Academy in Austria (TMA). This article presents the methods and ways of shaping leadership competencies at the Military University of Land Forces in Wroclaw (MULF).
