Bureaucratic Reputation Theory focuses on external stakeholders, but it is plausible that reputation also plays an important role for internal stakeholders. This article therefore asks whether employees’ perception of their organization’s reputation matters for their organizational identification and job satisfaction. Based on a balanced panel with 193 employees from three Danish agencies surveyed in 2019 and 2020, the article finds that employees’ perception of their organization’s reputation relates positively to their job satisfaction and that this relation is partly mediated by employee’s identification with their organization. In addition to being important externally, this implies that organizational reputation is also a managerial asset in public organizations.

This study explores the influence of age diversity within teams on civil servants’ perceptions of organizational change. Age diversity is examined through two dimensions: age variety, which refers to the range of different ages within a team, and age polarization, which denotes the extent to which age groups are segregated or clustered within a team. Individual perceptions of change are based on how civil servants evaluated a recent merger. While age polarization shows a significant effect—with less polarized teams exhibiting more positive perceptions of the merger—age variety does not demonstrate a notable impact. These results highlight that while age diversity is important, its impact is nuanced: simply having a range of ages is not sufficient, but reducing age polarization is crucial.

Previous studies focusing on civil service reform efforts at the sub-national level have illustrated how such initiatives may adversely affect employee perceptions of organizational conditions. Despite the insights provided by existing literature, little is known as to how federal employees perceive organizational justice amidst uncertain contextual and political conditions, and how the organizational justice perceptions influence their intentions to stay or leave their organizations. Using data from the 2021 Merit Principles Survey, collected amidst deliberations regarding federal civil service reform initiatives, this study examines how federal employee perceptions of organizational justice affect their turnover intentions with different exit strategies against the backdrop of the contextual and political changes. The findings lend support to existing literature highlighting organizational justice as a key factor influencing employee intentions to remain or leave positions of federal employment. The article concludes by discussing the contributions and implications of the present research as well as its limitations.
以前的研究集中在国家以下一级的公务员制度改革努力,说明了这些举措如何对员工对组织条件的看法产生不利影响。尽管现有文献提供了见解,但很少有人知道联邦雇员如何在不确定的背景和政治条件下感知组织公正,以及组织公正感知如何影响他们留在或离开组织的意图。本研究利用在联邦公务员制度改革倡议审议过程中收集的2021年绩效原则调查数据,探讨了在背景和政治变化的背景下,联邦雇员对组织公正的看法如何影响他们在不同退出策略下的离职意向。研究结果支持现有文献强调组织公正是影响雇员留任或离职的关键因素。文章最后讨论了本研究的贡献和意义,以及它的局限性。

Global political and economic instability have highlighted the importance of resilient governments capable of managing rapid change. However, continuous changes can overwhelm civil servants, leading to change fatigue. While prior studies have explored the impact of perceived frequent change on civil servants’ stress levels, little attention has been given to reverse causality in public management research. Psychological and neuroscience studies suggest that stress can influence individuals’ perceptions of workplace changes. To address this gap, we examine the relationship between chronic stress and civil servants’ perceptions of organizational change frequency. We analyze hair cortisol as a measure of chronic stress and survey data on change perceptions. Data were collected from 43 municipal civil servants at three points in time, offering a total of 129 observations. We find a significant effect of stress on perceptions of change frequency, shedding light on how stress shapes civil servants’ perception of organizational change.
全球政治和经济不稳定凸显了有能力应对快速变化的弹性政府的重要性。但是,持续的变化会使公务员不堪重负,导致“变化疲劳”。虽然先前的研究已经探讨了感知到的频繁变化对公务员压力水平的影响,但在公共管理研究中很少注意到反向因果关系。心理学和神经科学研究表明,压力会影响个人对工作场所变化的看法。为了解决这一差距,我们研究了慢性压力与公务员对组织变革频率的看法之间的关系。我们分析了头发皮质醇作为慢性压力的衡量标准,并调查了改变观念的数据。在三个时间点收集了43名市政公务员的数据,总共提供了129项观察结果。我们发现压力对变化频率的感知有显著影响,揭示了压力如何影响公务员对组织变革的感知。

Unbureaucratic Behavior in Times of Crisis: Rule-Breaking by Public Administrators 危机时期的非官僚行为:公共管理者的违规行为

During crisis management, public administrators typically adjust bureaucratic rules to become more flexible. In this paper, we go one step further, asking about the factors that explain rule-breaking behavior among public servants during crisis management. We report novel qualitative evidence and findings from a preregistered randomized quasi-experiment surveyed among 448 public servants in Germany. Our findings reveal that bureaucrats’ prosocial attitudes, whether the affected population is part of their in-group and higher levels of red tape affect significantly their willingness to engage in rule-breaking. Effects from decisive leadership are weak and conditional on other explanatory factors. These findings provide valuable insights for theory and practice in crisis and human resource management, demonstrating that organizations have limited leverage in influencing whether their employees engage in rule-breaking behavior, which is, in the main, conditional on individual factors and the characteristics of the crisis.
在危机管理期间,公共行政人员通常会调整官僚规则,使其变得更加灵活。在本文中,我们进一步探讨了公务员在危机管理中违规行为的原因。我们报告了一项在德国448名公务员中进行的预登记随机准实验的新定性证据和发现。我们的研究结果表明,官僚的亲社会态度、受影响的人群是否属于他们的内部群体以及更高水平的繁文缛节显著影响了他们参与破坏规则的意愿。决定性领导的影响是微弱的,并且取决于其他解释因素。这些发现为危机和人力资源管理的理论和实践提供了有价值的见解,表明组织在影响员工是否从事违规行为方面的影响力有限,这主要取决于个人因素和危机的特点。

There has been a good deal of research on sexual harassment in public sector workforces. One facet of this body of research that has not been fully explored is the potential impact of gender representativeness on sexual harassment in the workplace. In the context of representative bureaucracy, we examine if increased representation of women in the upper levels of the federal workforce is associated with active bureaucratic outcomes, such as decreased incidents of sexual harassment at the lower levels of bureaucracy. We also examine the effect of gender representation of the team or workgroup of the employees. We find that as the proportion of women supervisors increases, the likelihood of female employees experiencing sexual harassment significantly decreases. We also find that women’s representation in workgroups and the perceived effectiveness of sexual harassment policies are negatively associated with both the likelihood and frequency of sexual harassment.
对公共部门工作人员中的性骚扰问题进行了大量研究。这一研究的一个方面尚未得到充分探讨,即性别代表性对工作场所性骚扰的潜在影响。在代议制官僚主义的背景下,我们研究了联邦政府高层劳动力中女性代表性的增加是否与积极的官僚主义结果有关,例如在较低层次的官僚主义中性骚扰事件的减少。我们还研究了员工团队或工作小组的性别代表性的影响。我们发现,随着女性主管比例的增加,女性员工遭受性骚扰的可能性显著降低。我们还发现,女性在工作组中的代表性和性骚扰政策的有效性与性骚扰的可能性和频率呈负相关。

“Stressed Out”: The Conditional Effect of Organizational Belongingness on Burnout Among Street-Level Bureaucrats “压力过大”:组织归属感对基层官僚职业倦怠的条件效应

A substantial body of literature examines the determinants of burnout levels among street-level bureaucrats. However, one factor that has not been investigated in relation to the reported burnout levels among public employees is the perceived level of belonging within an agency. We develop a theoretical rationale linking an agency’s level of belongingness with the employee’s reported level of feeling burned-out, with the expectation that this relationship is conditioned by the employee’s gender. When analyzing the perceptions among local law enforcement officers, we find evidence to support our theoretical expectations. For women officers, we find that an increase in the perception that the agency has a culture of belongingness is associated with a decrease in feeling burned out. We find that organizational belongingness has a weaker effect among male officers. These findings contribute to our understanding of how organizational belongingness within a public agency can influence the workforce morale for certain employees.
大量的文献研究了街头官僚倦怠水平的决定因素。然而,一个尚未被调查的与公共雇员倦怠水平相关的因素是机构内的归属感感知水平。我们建立了一个理论基础,将机构的归属感水平与员工报告的倦怠感水平联系起来,并期望这种关系受员工性别的制约。在分析当地执法人员的看法时,我们发现证据支持我们的理论期望。对于女警官来说,我们发现,对该机构拥有归属感文化的认识的增加与倦怠感的减少有关。我们发现组织归属感对男性军官的影响较弱。这些发现有助于我们理解公共机构内部的组织归属感如何影响某些员工的员工士气。

Increasing the Effectiveness of Job Advertisements: How the Use of Imagery Language Impacts Perceived Organizational Attractiveness 提高招聘广告的有效性:意象语言的使用如何影响对组织吸引力的认知

Although effective job advertisements play a critical role in generating sufficient interest in potential applicants to actively pursue further relations with a public organization, insights on how such job advertisements need to be formulated in order to impact organizational attractiveness are limited. Therefore, this study examines if and how the use of imagery language in mission statements embedded in job advertisements is a valuable pathway to increase the effectiveness of job advertisements. The focus on mission statements is motivated by the fact that the service and society-oriented focus of public organizations is a distinguishing characteristic that can be a strength in a competitive job market. Based on two randomized survey-experiments using the same design (196 bachelor and 703 final-year students), we found that imagery language in mission statements initiates an underlying motivational process in which person-organization fit and mission valence are reinforced, resulting in higher levels of perceived organizational attractiveness.
虽然有效的招聘广告在激发潜在求职者的兴趣,使其积极寻求与公共组织进一步发展关系方面发挥着至关重要的作用,但对于如何制定此类招聘广告才能影响组织吸引力的见解却很有限。因此,本研究探讨了在招聘广告中嵌入的使命宣言中使用意象语言是否以及如何成为提高招聘广告有效性的重要途径。之所以关注使命宣言,是因为公共组织以服务和社会为导向的工作重点是一个显著特征,可以成为就业市场竞争中的优势。基于两个采用相同设计的随机调查实验(196 名本科生和 703 名毕业班学生),我们发现,使命陈述中的意象语言启动了一个潜在的激励过程,在这个过程中,人与组织的契合度和使命感得到了强化,从而提高了组织吸引力的感知水平。

Research has shown that nonprofits led by people of color (POC) tend to have more diverse staff compared to White-led organizations, yet it remains unclear whether leaders of color inherently attract racially diverse talent. Using an online experiment, this study investigates the impact of the racial/ethnic composition of nonprofit leadership on job-seeking behaviors. While participants consistently view POC-led nonprofits as more committed to diversity, this positive perception does not influence their job choices. When given a choice, White individuals tend to prefer working for White-led nonprofits, whereas people of color show no strong preference between POC-led and White-led nonprofits. The results shed light on the complexities of racial representation in talent acquisition, offering important insights into the broader discourse on nonprofit diversity and the persistent barriers POC-led organizations face in achieving diverse staffing.
研究表明,与白人领导的组织相比,有色人种(POC)领导的非营利组织往往拥有更多元化的员工,但有色人种领导是否从本质上吸引了种族多元化的人才,目前仍不清楚。本研究通过在线实验,调查了非营利组织领导层的种族/民族构成对求职行为的影响。虽然参与者一致认为由有色人种领导的非营利组织更致力于多元化,但这种积极的看法并不影响他们的求职选择。在有选择的情况下,白人倾向于为白人领导的非营利组织工作,而有色人种在男性和女性领导的非营利组织与白人领导的非营利组织之间没有表现出强烈的偏好。研究结果揭示了人才招聘中种族代表性的复杂性,为更广泛地讨论非营利组织的多样性和以有色人种为主导的组织在实现多元化人员配置方面所面临的长期障碍提供了重要见解。

Gender Pay Disparities in Public Organizations: The Equalizing Externality of Union Membership 公共组织中的性别薪酬差异:工会成员资格的平等外部性

Despite laws such as the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which were intended to address equal pay and prohibit discrimination in the workplace based on sex, the gender pay gap permeates public sector employment. Unions have long represented worker rights but are more often associated with improving salaries and working conditions. This study draws on the literature explaining how workplace characteristics relate to gender pay disparities to examine the impact of union membership on the gender pay gap in public sector organizations. Empirical analysis of responses from public procurement officers in the United States reveals that union membership is associated with an increase of 6% in wages for females and a gender pay gap reduction of 3%. Study findings demonstrate that union membership presents positive externalities that go beyond negotiated salary and benefits terms in collective bargaining agreements.
尽管 1963 年的《同工同酬法》和 1964 年的《民权法案》等法律旨在解决同工同酬问题并禁止工作场所的性别歧视,但两性薪酬差距仍渗透到公共部门的就业中。长期以来,工会一直代表着工人的权利,但更多地与改善工资和工作条件联系在一起。本研究借鉴了解释工作场所特征与性别薪酬差距关系的文献,研究了工会会员资格对公共部门组织中性别薪酬差距的影响。对美国公共采购官员的回复进行的实证分析表明,加入工会与女性工资增长 6% 和性别薪酬差距缩小 3% 相关。研究结果表明,加入工会所带来的积极外部效应超出了集体谈判协议中的薪资和福利条款。
