ABSTRACTMandated service delivery networks have become common in both developing and developed worlds; however, our understanding of what makes these arrangements work is still limited. In this study, we draw upon existing business literature, specifically focusing on dependency relationships and resulting opportunism within mandated networks, a critical but often overlooked aspect. Further, within mandated networks characterised by limited autonomy and trust, ways in which network members navigate dependency relationships remain unexplored. We conduct a comparative case analysis, examining network arrangements within India’s National Health Insurance Programme. Based on our findings, we propose that the nature of interdependence among network members and the resultant dependency relationships impact the conduct of network members and, thereby, network performance. If the dependency relationships are not governed effectively, conflict bargaining and opportunistic behaviours get manifested. Contrary to expectation, network performance tends to be higher in jurisdictions where dependency relationships are effectively governed through hierarchical authority. These findings hold significant relevance; as mandated networks are created under the shadow of hierarchy but governed through clan or trust-based mechanisms.KEYWORDS: Mandated networkdependency relationshipsnetwork governancenetwork effectivenesspolicy implementation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

ABSTRACTThe landscape of social entrepreneurship has undergone rapid evolution within business and non-profit sectors in recent years. However, there is a more recent trend in Indonesia, where social entrepreneurship is formally practised in public policy. This new approach represents an initiative related to what we call Institutionalized Social Entrepreneurship (ISE). In this article, we investigate the challenges faced while implementing experimental measures to transform cash transfers into social entrepreneurship programs based on 43 interviews with key stakeholders and end-users spreading over five regions. Our research findings indicate a lack of shared understanding among stakeholders when implementing social entrepreneurship programs. Furthermore, the beneficiaries face difficulties distinguishing between social entrepreneurship programs and regular cash transfers, leading to ineffective program outcomes and significant challenges in achieving community development objectives. This issue is exacerbated by an unbalanced power distribution between government and non-government actors involved in program implementation, which can potentially limit the program’s effectiveness and efficiency. Its unfolding transformation of social assistance and the application of social entrepreneurship in Indonesia highlight a new deal for welfare that responds to uncertain post-pandemic circumstances. This study adds to the literature on social entrepreneurship by highlighting the complexities of the state-society relationship in ISE.KEYWORDS: Social assistanceinstitutionalized social entrepreneurshipcash transfercommunity empowerment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data available statementThe raw data are not publicly available due to containing information that could compromise the privacy of research participants.Additional informationFundingThe author received no financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.Notes on contributorsTauchid Komara YudaTauchid Komara Yuda is a Research Fellow at the Department of Sociology and Social Policy, Lingnan University, Hong Kong.

ABSTRACTPublic-private partnerships have been touted as an importantgovernance tool. To what extent efficiency gains are internalizedinto the governance scheme remains open. This study proposes a nestedmodel suggesting that the development of PPPs is enabled andconstrained by project features, local contexts and (top-down)governance scheme. Based on 325 environmental PPP projects in China,the multilevel models suggest when government payment or subsidy wereinvolved, the development of PPPs was not driven by efficiency gainsbut empowered by top-down governance. While efficiency gainsmattered, user fees also prevailed more when certain governingarrangements were place. PPPs in China serve and are also constrainedby top-down governance, raising potential concerns on efficiency andpublic accountability.KEYWORDS: Public–private partnershipstop-down governanceefficiency gains Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationNotes on contributorsLiying ZhangDr. Liying Zhang is an assistant professor in the Department of Public Administraiton at the Tianjin University of Finance and Economics in China.

A “spirit of service to the community” has been the foundation of recent reforms in New Zealand public administration. New Zealand’s renewed interest in public service motivation is notable as it occurs in the jurisdiction most closely associated with New Public Management in the 1980s and ‘90s. This essay documents the passage of a spirit of service to the community through legislation, and the initial steps that the New Zealand public service has taken to support a spirit of service into fullest expression.

The concept of public service motivation (PSM) was introduced more than three decades ago. Although the field continues to be dominated by research from the US and Western Europe, a growing number of studies utilise data from elsewhere, gradually expanding the geography of PSM. With this recent research, the field has started to answer the call of PSM’s founder (Perry, 2014) for more research into what he called “multi-incentive” settings, where the status of PSM is less clear due to historical and cultural factors. In the first systematic review of non-Western PSM scholarship, namely, research published outside the US, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand published in reputable English-language outlets, Van der Wal (2015) appraised the state of the art and proposed a research agenda. This agenda contained three key areas: (1) cultural values and societal disposition, (2) distribution and interplay between different types of motivators, and (3) relations between PSM, public service ethos, and institutions in developing political economies. In a recent follow up review, Mussagulova and Van der Wal (2021) noted a further extension and expansion of PSM scholarship across the globe. In particular, they reported that non-Western PSM scholarship is growing, and increasingly using contextual variables to explain variance in findings in comparison with Western studies. That being said, ample opportunity remains for leveraging contextual and regional particularities to build a more distinct body of scholarship. We acknowledge that the effort to promote regional and global perspectives on PSM is more than the sum of journal submissions. It is about working closely with scholars in non-Western institutions, encouraging research in under-represented contexts, building ongoing conversations among colleagues spanning institutional, geographical, and ideological boundaries. This is especially pertinent in the post-pandemic world that saw the emergence of new work modes, management challenges, budgetary restrictions, and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). In the first special issue of Asia Pacific Journal of Public Administration on public service motivation, published in September 2022 (V44.2), we featured articles that focused on the global relevance of the concept. This second special issue on public service motivation emphasises regional perspectives, It includes four articles addressing gaps in PSM scholarship drawing on a variety of perspectives, and exploring the empirical nature of PSM situated in China, Pakistan, Turkey, and Vietnam. Each article brings a unique perspective on PSM and goes beyond simply testing it in a different context. We note the emergence of two distinct themes in this special issue: the role of societal and religious values in shaping PSM, and the relationship of PSM with other important variables that yield useful public management lessons. Both themes are important, timely, ASIA PACIFIC JOURNAL OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATI
公共服务动机(PSM)的概念是在三十多年前提出的。尽管该领域继续由美国和西欧的研究主导,但越来越多的研究利用来自其他地方的数据,逐渐扩大了PSM的地理范围。随着这项最近的研究,该领域已经开始响应PSM创始人(Perry, 2014)的呼吁,对他所谓的“多激励”设置进行更多的研究,由于历史和文化因素,PSM的地位不太清楚。Van der Wal(2015)对非西方PSM学术进行了首次系统回顾,即在美国、西欧、澳大利亚和新西兰以外发表的研究,发表在著名的英语媒体上。Van der Wal(2015)对目前的研究状况进行了评估,并提出了研究议程。该议程包含三个关键领域:(1)文化价值观和社会倾向;(2)不同类型激励因素之间的分布和相互作用;(3)发展中政治经济中PSM、公共服务精神和制度之间的关系。在最近的后续评论中,Mussagulova和Van der Wal(2021)注意到PSM奖学金在全球范围内的进一步扩展和扩展。他们特别指出,非西方的PSM研究正在增长,并且越来越多地使用上下文变量来解释与西方研究结果的差异。话虽如此,我们仍有充分的机会利用背景和地区的特殊性来建立一个更独特的学术体系。我们承认,促进对PSM的区域和全球观点的努力不仅仅是期刊投稿的总和。它是关于与非西方机构的学者密切合作,鼓励在代表性不足的背景下进行研究,在跨越机构、地理和意识形态界限的同事之间建立持续的对话。大流行后的世界出现了新的工作模式、管理挑战、预算限制和人工智能(AI)的兴起,这一点尤其重要。在《亚太公共管理杂志》于2022年9月出版的第一期公共服务动机特刊(V44.2)中,我们重点介绍了这一概念的全球相关性。关于公共服务动机的第二期特刊强调了区域视角,它包括四篇文章,从各种角度解决了PSM奖学金的差距,并探讨了位于中国、巴基斯坦、土耳其和越南的PSM的实证性质。每篇文章都介绍了PSM的独特视角,并超越了在不同上下文中简单地对其进行测试。我们注意到在本期特刊中出现了两个截然不同的主题:社会和宗教价值观在形成PSM中的作用,以及PSM与其他产生有用公共管理经验的重要变量的关系。这两个主题都很重要,也很及时,《亚太公共行政学报》2023年第45卷第1期。3, 244-247 https://doi.org/10.1080/23276665.2023.2237619
