Abstract Collecting data through surveys are a vital method in public administration research, but an overseen challenge for the validity of survey research is response bias, which is when response behavior correlates with study outcomes. Response bias can be particularly threatening in motivation research because motivation is an important determinant for behavior and most likely also for survey participation. Specifically, public service motivation (PSM) can increase the willingness to devote time and effort to respond to surveys for the benefit of others, whereas extrinsically motivated individuals may be less inclined to participate in surveys without prospects of economic compensation. This article examines motivation and response bias by use of a preregistered field experiment and two panel datasets. The experimental study shows that a monetary incentive increases the response rate, whereas a PSM-oriented appeal does not. Furthermore, the increased response rate of the incentive is achieved without any detectable response bias on PSM. Likewise, the panel studies offer little and mixed support for response bias related with PSM. This evidence suggests that (1) PSM is not a (strong) driver of response bias, and that (2) extrinsic motivational tools applied to PSM surveys are not necessarily associated with response bias.

Abstract As society faces more crises, it is critical for leaders, especially at the local level, to make decisions and intervene before reaching the tipping point. This often requires collective sensemaking across boundaries, but most studies focus on the challenges. This article asks how decision makers make timely decisions. It presents an institutions-process framework and analyzes the process and mechanism in the case of the response of E-Zhong City—just over an hour’s drive from Wuhan City in Hubei Province—to COVID-19 in the “Golden Seven Days” of 2020. Decision makers achieved timely decisions by exploiting all possible political opportunities and institutional tools, maximizing the diversity of the information available, and using multiple discourses and frameworks to enhance personal crisis awareness and achieve collective sensemaking across boundaries. This article defines the mechanism as bricolage and defines these decision makers as institution-knowledge bricoleurs. The concept of institution-knowledge bricoleurs extends the study of crisis decision making and the relationship between institutions and sensemaking.

Abstract Empirical research has identified a long list of antecedents that promote innovation in local government organizations. However, less is known about how and why diverse antecedents—as well as their interplay—stimulate local government organizations to innovate and create public value. We address this gap through a systematic and critical interpretive synthesis of the empirical literature on innovation and entrepreneurship in local government organizations. Our review advances theory development about public sector innovation processes by (1) showing how antecedents relate to each other across levels of analysis in a process model and (2) explicating why local government organizations generate/adopt innovation through innovation capability. Our emerging theory offers several contributions to the public sector innovation literature and a forward-looking research agenda.

Abstract Transformations of public governance, organization, and leadership are often propelled by the import, diffusion, and onboarding of new magic concepts promising to cure existing problems and to pave the way for a golden future. This article shows how the magic concept of “co-creation” entered the public sector in Norway, was spread across public organizations at different levels, and finally was given concrete meaning in local public service organizations. Based on a tailor-made theoretical framework and a mixed-methods, multi-level study, it presents empirical findings that shed light on how a national public sector is swept by new governance ideas. The discussion reflects on the impact of the swift introduction of co-creation in a Norwegian context. It ponders the risk that the new ideas and practices might clash with existing modes of governance and insists on the need to cope with emerging dilemmas and paradoxes. The conclusion summarizes the argument and calls for further research investigating the role of magic concepts as drivers of change in public administration.
