ABSTRACT The present work provides a comprehensive analysis of the effect of two prominent channels of financial-sector development (FSD)—economic growth and access to credit—on the poor in India. Employing panel data analysis for a sample of 15 major Indian states for the period 1999–2000 to 2011–2012, we provide empirical evidence for the effect of the two channels of FSD on poverty ratio, poverty gap ratio, and squared poverty gap in India. The results indicate that while access to credit and growth have reduced poverty and poverty gap in India, it has disproportionately benefitted the population living closer to the poverty line resulting in increased inequality among the poor. Further, while bank credit has a greater beneficial effect on the poor, it also has a greater detrimental effect on the poorest of the poor. The robustness check confirms the validity of the obtained results.

ABSTRACT In Nigeria, the introduction of ICT in the early 2000s propelled e-participation to create more opportunities for citizens to participate in the democratic processes and bridge the public trust deficit gap. This study examines the mediating effect of trust in e-government on the relationship between e-government quality and e-participation using PLS-SEM. We collected data through a structured questionnaire from 369 experienced e-government users. The result shows that the quality of e-government is unrelated to e-participation, while trust in e-government fully mediates the relationship. The implication of these findings suggests that public service managers are to be responsive and transparent in their interactions with the citizens to have greater confidence in the system.

ABSTRACT The current research addressed two main research questions: (1) What antecedents in an organizational context are related to public employees’ innovative behaviors? (2) Does an innovative culture have moderating effects on the relationship between antecedents and innovative behaviors? Using a nationwide sample of South Korea government employees, the research explored the effects of expected antecedents on innovative behaviors using a random-coefficient model, which takes into account the variance of slopes and intercepts in a nested data structure. Results indicated, first, that job autonomy, goal clarity, cooperative communication, transformational leadership, and an innovative culture are positively associated with public employees’ innovative behaviors. Second, an innovative culture shows moderating effects only on goal clarity and transformational leadership.

ABSTRACT Public sector innovation during pandemic is of much importance as this helps to mitigate unprecedented situations that arise as outcomes of the pandemic. The innovation and associated process are characterized by a number of factors which may vary from country to country. Exploring country-specific innovative practices during a pandemic and analyzing the factors that characterize those innovations are important especially in cases where acute shortage of literature prevails. This study, therefore, presented three sample cases on public sector innovation in Bangladesh and analyzed what factors might lead to those innovations. The paper shows that a number of environmental, organizational, individual factors coupled with the innovation attributes contributed to the innovative practices that public sector initiated to provide public services during the pandemic. Suggestions for further research are provided in line with the limitations that the study contains.

ABSTRACT Government transparency has been widely commented through the adoption of freedom of information laws. Several studies have shown a positive effect of access to information on government transparency. This contribution, based on a quantitative analysis of 2,222 Swiss municipalities, adds to the literature by combining disclosure of information on municipalities’ websites and constrained release of information. The findings indicate that more proactive transparency practices are not observed in regional entities that have enacted transparency laws. Nevertheless, they also indicate that levels of proactive transparency are slightly higher in municipalities where freedom of information has been implemented for a long time.

ABSTRACT This study explores the South Korean government’s fiscal response to the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to supplementary budgeting. In particular, we empirically examine the formulation of supplementary budgets and discuss its policy implications. We focus on South Korea, which effectively mitigated pandemic concerns in the early stage through expansionary fiscal policies. Our findings indicate that, first, budgetary projects that undergo the supplementary budgeting process in previous years tend to be organized again as the supplementary budget in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Second, information regarding the unused budget in the past, which is a widely adopted indicator of budget inefficiency, does not influence the supplementary budgeting process to improve budget efficiency. These results suggest that, in the face of time and information constraints, budgetary agencies obtain relevant information from past experiences to formulate the supplementary budget during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the positive effects are limited because agencies do not adequately utilize efficiency-related information.

ABSTRACT This paper examines whether the legislative adoption of performance-based budgeting (PBB) limits budgetary slack. Based on the model of slack-maximizing bureaucracy, we predict that the enactment of PBB laws is likely to shore up the legislature’s ability to control budgetary slack. By providing more information about the production costs of public services to the legislature as budget sponsors, the legislative adoption of PBB can mitigate the information asymmetry between bureaucrats and the legislature, which leads to more effective control of budgetary slack by budget sponsors. In US states, we document that the budgetary slack is reduced after a state legislature legally mandates the use of performance information in the budgetary deliberation. This finding suggests that the legislative adoption of PBB facilitates the budget sponsors’ use of prior-period budgetary slack information to reduce current-period slack, consistent with the notion of PBB as analytic tools for budget sponsors.

ABSTRACT This research aims to reflect current Korean public sector issues, such as emphasis on innovation and humanistic values (quality of life [QOL] and quality of work life [QWL]), and fill the gap in public service motivation (PSM) research. To analyze the determinants of QWL, the moderating effects of a non-work domain factor (QOL) between work domain factors (PSM, job autonomy, innovative culture, and innovative performance) and QWL are investigated. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of a group relocated to Sejong and a stationary group was conducted. Using survey data, this study reveals that the QWL of the relocation group is lower than that of their counterparts, and that job autonomy, innovative culture, and QOL are effective antecedents of QWL in both groups. In contrast, the effects of PSM and the moderating effects of QOL diverge depending on relocation status. Consequently, this study has both theoretical and practical implications.
