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.

Abstract Over five decades, US civil service laws institutionalized federal employees’ whistleblower rights through a series of reforms since 1978. In 2012, the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act extended statutory protections to employees of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for the first time. This quasi-experimental study evaluates whether these legal protections changed the perceptions of TSA employees by enhancing their behavioral control over the opportunity to blow the whistle. Changes in TSA employee perceptions of behavioral control are compared to changes in perceptions in three control agencies, using a difference-in-differences estimation. We further consider whether TSA managers’ perceptions change in unique ways, in comparison to the control agencies. The results indicate that providing protection only changed TSA employees’ behavioral control over whistleblowing immediately after passage, but not over the long term. Further, the law did enhance TSA managers’ perceived behavioral control differentially. Policy implications for reconstructing the shield is provided.

Abstract The COVID-19 global pandemic has prompted a variety of fiscal policy responses from national governments around the world. This research constructs a panel data set of 170 countries to investigate the impact of fiscal capacity and COVID-19 crisis severity on government spending during the pandemic, after controlling for socio-economic, political, and institutional factors. Using cluster analysis and multivariate regression, the results show that COVID-19 fiscal spending increased with the expansion of the pandemic, although spending on COVID-19 tended to decrease somewhat over time. We also find that countries with stronger fiscal capacity were associated with higher fiscal spending during the pandemic. Thus, our study suggests that the severity of the pandemic combined with the fiscal capacity of countries shaped government spending on COVID-19.

Abstract While government fiscal gap is traditionally considered a demand factor for the use of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to deliver public services, a high level of fiscal gap may signal elevated financial risks to private partners and deter them from entering into PPP agreements. A causal mediation analytic framework is used to delineate the two distinct causal pathways. We develop a conceptual model and test derived hypotheses with data of Chinese prefecture-level cities during 2015–2017. The findings suggest that government fiscal gap has a positive impact on PPP adoption, through the mediating role of the debt position. The fiscal gap, as a risk factor, is negatively associated with PPP participation. Risk aversion of the private sector manifests more conspicuously as smaller PPP investment amounts than as a lower likelihood of PPP participation. The adverse effects of the fiscal gap associated with financial risks may entirely offset any positive impact.
