Occupational stress and burnout remain largely unexplored as red tape repercussions, even though they can jeopardize public servants’ wellbeing, motivation, and performance. Using a survey experiment with 354 school principals conducted between November 2018 and January 2019 in Chile, we provide evidence that red tape foments burnout risks. More red tape increases emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a sense of low personal accomplishment, while cutting red tape reduces emotional exhaustion but does not attenuate depersonalization and low personal accomplishment. These experimental results further prior observational findings about employee responses to red tape and are particularly pertinent for public services struggling with effectively cutting red tape.

Public servants’ creativity is the origin of innovations, improvements and solutions to policies/services and crucial to serving public interests. Public servants, however, differ strongly in pioneering creativity—proactive generation of radical and original ideas. Using SEM on Flitspanel cross-sectional survey data from 930 Dutch public servants, this preregistered study tested hypotheses that this results from public servants being required to creatively “think outside-the-box” whilst remaining “inside-the-box” of formalized rules/procedures; a struggle that may demotivate and hamper pioneering creativity. Evidence is found for negative relations between formalization and two dimensions of pioneering creativity and positive relations between intrinsic motivation and all three dimensions of pioneering creativity, though no evidence is found for a mediation indicating that formalization hampers creativity through demotivation. Findings provide a detailed and nuanced understanding of how public servants’ creativity appears affected by formalization and motivation, how these concepts interrelate in the public sector, indicating corresponding HR strategies/tactics.
公务员的创造力是政策/服务创新、改进和解决方案的源泉，对服务公众利益至关重要。然而，公务员在开创性创造力--积极主动地提出激进和原创性想法--方面存在很大差异。这项预先登记的研究利用 SEM 对 930 名荷兰公务员的 Flitspanel 横向调查数据进行了假设检验，结果表明，公务员需要创造性地 "跳出框框思考"，同时又要 "在框框内 "遵守正式的规则/程序；这种斗争可能会削弱和阻碍开拓性创造力。有证据表明，形式化与开拓性创造力的两个维度之间存在负相关，而内在动机与开拓性创造力的所有三个维度之间存在正相关，但没有证据表明形式化会通过挫伤积极性来阻碍创造力的发挥。研究结果提供了对公务员的创造力如何受到正规化和激励的影响、这些概念在公共部门中的相互关系以及相应的人力资源战略/策略的详细而细致的理解。

There is uncertainty among emotional labor researchers as to when emotive expression leads to positive work outcomes and when it does not. This study uses the circumplex model of affect to test whether the answer lies in the interaction of display rules and emotive intensity. The model postulates that emotive experiences are two-dimensional, with gradations from positive to negative affect and from low to high intensity. The analysis uses display rules of social work, a frequent occupation in government and nonprofit services, to compare enthusiasm (high intensity), empathy (medium intensity), and calmness (low intensity). Results produce differential effects on organizational commitment and emotional exhaustion. Emotive expression has a beneficial effect when arousal is intense. Higher intensity leads to more commitment and less exhaustion. We conclude that emotive intensity is a missing link in the relationship between emotional labor and work outcomes. Implications for supervision, training, and development are discussed.

This study investigates leadership ambition and focuses this with a simple, yet necessary perspective, the focus of race/ethnicity and gender. Many public organizations may not consider how gendered and racialized aspects of organizations can influence leadership ambition for diverse individuals. We ask: (a) How is gender and race/ethnicity related to leadership ambition? and (b) Are social networks related to leadership ambition based on gender and racial/ethnic differences? Using a 2011 national survey of STEM faculty in U.S. research-based universities, we find significant leadership ambition differences for people of color and that social networks are beneficial for women’s leadership ambition.

This research examines differences in the compensation of male and female executive directors and chief financial officers in nonprofit organizations. We utilize executive transition periods within organizations as an empirical strategy for isolating how gender impacts the salaries of two people who occupy the same role in the same organization. Two waves of IRS 990 compensation data are used to assess compensation practices over the past two decades. The good news includes an overall increase in the number of women holding executive positions and indications that the discriminatory component of pay (discrepancies for two people holding the same position within the same organization) is relatively small and may be decreasing. This good news, however, is accompanied by bad news: large cross-sectional gaps in pay that result from an over-representation of male executives in the largest nonprofits and those in industries with the highest executive pay.

Public agencies often use contractors to facilitate Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) discrimination complaint cases, but we know relatively little about which factors influence contracting performance of the complaint process. Drawing on contracting theories, this study examines two factors—incentive structure and contractor ownership (i.e., women-owned and small disadvantaged-owned)—that moderate the link between agency contracting use and agency performance in the discrimination complaint process. Using the agency-level panel data from multiple sources, this study finds agency contracting use facilitates the discrimination complaint process when agencies use a performance-based incentive structure. When it comes to the moderating effect of contractor ownership focused on the socially/economically underrepresented, the findings show that using small disadvantaged-owned contractors positively moderates the relationship between contracting use and performance at the agency level.

Occupational stigma is pervasive, encompassing street-level bureaucrats as well; however, limited knowledge exists regarding the extent and impact on this particular group. This study employs the conservation of resources theory with a chain mediation model to expose how occupational stigma affects street-level bureaucrats’ job withdrawal behavior from an emotional perspective. Based on four-wave data from 1,333 public employees across 316 grassroots communities, we identified a chain mediating the roles of emotional labor and emotional exhaustion in the negative relationship between occupational stigma and job withdrawal behavior. Research has shown that occupational stigma leads to more surface acting and less deep acting. Increased surface acting worsens employees’ emotional exhaustion and increases job withdrawal behavior, whereas deep acting alleviates employees’ emotional exhaustion and reduces job withdrawal behavior. This study extensively discusses the importance of public organizations valuing the emotional labor of street-level bureaucrats to help them resist the threat of occupational stigma.

Representative bureaucracy is used to understand original data, shedding light on the administrative side of the politico-administrative axis in one part of one of the world’s most contentious and divisive conflicts: the Palestinian Israeli conflict. We theorize and test six different theoretically existent roles of elite level bureaucrat (ELB) role conceptions in the West Bank. Using Q Methodology in 22 ELB interviews, we identify two empirically existent bureaucrat role conceptions associated with serving the public: one traditional Wilsonian/Weberian; the other a coproducer of public policy. Bureaucrats serve the entire population, as in public service motivation, not a sub-section. They believe that politics and bureaucracy should be separate and share concerns that bureaucratic independence is in jeopardy. The discovery of these profiles suggests that both pro-social and active representations on behalf of primary identities are notably absent, suggesting further investigation is required into bureaucrat role conceptions in the fragile or developing society.

Flexible work arrangement policies provide employees the flexibility to manage their work and personal lives. Despite various efforts of public organizations, struggles to simplify or integrate work and private life demands continue, resulting in employees’ lower satisfaction, higher stress, higher turnover, and lower productivity. Our study focuses on the social environments of individual employees by investigating how social networks affect individuals’ efforts to balance work and life in a higher education setting. Using a 2011 NSF-funded national survey of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) faculty in US universities, we examine the impact of multiplexity in social networks on work-life balance (WLB) and how the impact varies by gender. Our regression results suggest that the impact of relational multiplexity on WLB follows an inverse U-shape pattern and varies by gender. In particular, multiplex ties that individuals socialize outside their work can affect their WLB and the impact varies by gender.
灵活工作安排政策为员工提供了管理其工作和个人生活的灵活性。尽管公共组织做出了各种努力，但简化或整合工作与私人生活需求的斗争仍在继续，导致员工满意度降低、压力增大、离职率升高和生产率降低。我们的研究侧重于员工个人的社会环境，调查在高等教育环境中，社会网络如何影响个人平衡工作与生活的努力。利用 2011 年国家自然科学基金资助的一项针对美国大学科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教师的全国性调查，我们研究了社交网络的多重性对工作与生活平衡（WLB）的影响，以及这种影响在性别上的差异。我们的回归结果表明，关系多重性对工作与生活平衡的影响呈反 U 型，且因性别而异。特别是，个人在工作之外社交的多重关系会影响他们的工作与生活平衡，而且这种影响因性别而异。
