ABSTRACTThe rise in digital governance platforms for shared decision-making has been a matter of introspection for academicians worldwide. However, the effectiveness of government-run e-participation platforms in terms of their viability, the effectiveness of policies as an outcome of these platforms, and their challenges and limitations require further examination. myGov is the Government of India’s citizen engagement platform which collaborates with multiple government bodies to engage with citizens for policy formulation. This study analyses the platform to understand the characteristics of e-participation and, most importantly, the hindrances and constraints that impede people’s participation in shared decision-making.KEYWORDS: People participationmyGovpublic policydigital platformIndia AcknowledgmentsThe author is grateful to all anonymous reviewers of this article for their formative feedback and insightful suggestions.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data supporting the results and analyses presented in this paper are available in the public domain on the myGov portal (mygov.in).

This study examines the effects of managerial actions that promote inter-governmental collaboration on organizational performance at the sub-national level. Employing measures of organizational performance (i.e., fiscal performance and education in Colombia), I find that managerial actions that promote collaboration between organizations at the territorial level predict higher levels of organizational performance. Actions oriented toward collaboration enable bureaucrats to accomplish organizational goals by creating trust, increasing information exchange, and producing external collaborative structures. The article provides insights into the discussion about the role of managers in organizational dynamics in the public sector by showing new insights about how managers’ intentional efforts can improve public organizations’ outcomes. The research contributes to the literature on collaborative public management in a comparative context that focuses on sub-national governments.

ABSTRACT The concept of open government is not historically linked to digitisation, but is increasingly used in this context. The ambiguity of the term thus represents a conceptual vagueness. The existing systematisation approaches of Digital Open Government mostly focus on specific partial aspects, such as Open Government Data, so that a uniform understanding has not been conceptually elaborated. This article derives an integrated framework based on the existing literature. It structures the concept of Digital Open Government comprehensively by linking six key levels: technological infrastructure, development, process, service and business model, governance and regulation.

ABSTRACTAlthough demand for emotional labor (EL) is at its highest in times of disasters, there is a lack of studies on EL by disaster response and recovery workers in intercultural contexts. Using in-depth interviews and secondary data collected in Haiti, this article focuses on the link between culture and EL. We find that an understanding of the cultural context and the cultural competencies used to effectively navigate that context are central to each step of effective emotional labor performance. These findings help disaster response organizations better understand the value of cultural competence and how it effects the performance of EL.KEYWORDS: Disasteremotional laborcultureinternational aid Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. In addition to these two themes, there is an emerging public administration literature which examines the link between emotional labor and public sector motivation (PSM) (Hsieh et al., Citation2012).2. Although a survey was collected for both studies, those results are not included here as their focus was not on the cultural aspects of emotional labor.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Institutes of Health [3P20MD002288-04S1]; Florida International University Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center.
摘要灾害发生时，人们对情绪劳动的需求是最高的，但在跨文化背景下，灾害响应和恢复工作者对情绪劳动的研究却很少。通过深入访谈和在海地收集的二手数据，本文重点关注文化与EL之间的联系。我们发现，对文化背景的理解和用于有效驾驭这种背景的文化能力是有效情绪劳动表现的每一步的核心。这些发现有助于灾害响应组织更好地理解文化能力的价值以及它如何影响文化能力的绩效。关键词:灾害、情感劳动、文化、国际援助披露声明作者未发现潜在的利益冲突。除了这两个主题，还有一个新兴的公共管理文献，研究情绪劳动和公共部门动机(PSM)之间的联系(Hsieh et al.， Citation2012)。虽然这两项研究都收集了一项调查，但这些结果没有包括在这里，因为他们的重点不是情绪劳动的文化方面。本研究由美国国立卫生研究院支持[3P20MD002288-04S1];佛罗里达国际大学金伯利格林拉丁美洲和加勒比中心。

ABSTRACTCitizen satisfaction is an important instrument to assess the quality of public services and hold governments accountable to their citizens. Despite significant amount of research, few studies have examined whether citizen satisfaction is generalizable across social groups or whether different social groups interpret it differently. Based upon the ingroup preference theory, this study uses data from Chicago Public Schools to argue that citizen satisfaction varies across different social groups, such that different performance information influences each groups’ level of satisfaction differently. The findings suggest that different types of performance information (overall v. group performance) have different effects on citizens of different racial groups when they evaluate public services. Further, it is important to measure performance for each social group, and as each group’s performance increases, divergence in citizen satisfaction among racial groups may decrease, helping public managers reduce unexpected factors that harm citizens’ perception of their agencies.KEYWORDS: Citizen satisfactionngroup preferencesperformance gapracial integration AcknowledgementI’d like to thank the reviewers and the editor for their valuable feedback.

ABSTRACTIn parliamentary systems, private members (i.e. backbenchers) with formal titles and roles can affect the institutional system in which politicians, civil servants and interest groups are embedded. Packing legislative institutions with backbenchers who act as agents of the government but who are not in Cabinet puts certain Members of Parliament in a privileged position with the core executive. We hypothesize that influential positions in Canada’s House of Commons, notably a parliamentary secretary tasked with supporting a minister or a chair of a parliamentary committee, bring increased external pressure from interest group lobbyists. We test these assumptions with data on communications between MPs and interest group lobbyists gathered from the federal Registry of Lobbyists and open data lists found on the website of the Parliament of Canada. Our results show that a parliamentary secretary position or a seat on a standard committee exposes MPs to higher lobbying volumes.Keywords: Parliamentary secretaryparliamentary committeebackbencherlobbyingexecutive branch Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. The Salaries Act specifies the number of parliamentary secretaries (sec. 46.2 Parliament of Canada Act, Citation2019). Under Justin Trudeau, the number is synonymous with the number of Cabinet ministers, excluding ministers without portfolios.2. Figures obtained online for cabinet (https://pm.gc.ca/en/cabinet), parliamentary secretaries (https://pm.gc.ca/en/parliamentary-secretaries) and committee members (https://www.ourcommons.ca/Committees/en/List) on March 5, 2022.3. We exclude committee of the whole which is the entire membership of the legislature minus the Speaker.4. see 106(2) in House of Commons 2021.5. As stated on the website of the Office of Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada: “The Lobbyists Registration Regulations prescribe the types of communications that must be reported in a monthly report as ‘oral and arranged communications excluding oral and arranged communications initiated by public office holders related to the development of policy, programs or legislation.’ In-house and consultant lobbyists must report all oral and arranged communications relating to financial benefits, even when initiated by a public officer holder. Likewise, consultant lobbyists must report oral and arranged communications relating to a contract regardless of who initiated the communication.” For more details on lobbying disclosure rules: https://lobbycanada.gc.ca/en/rules/the-lobbying-act/advice-and-interpretation-lobbying-act/communicating-with-designated-public-office-holders/.6.

在议会制度中，拥有正式头衔和角色的私人议员(即后座议员)可以影响政治家、公务员和利益集团所嵌入的制度体系。立法机构中充斥着充当政府代理人但不属于内阁的后座议员，这使得某些国会议员与核心行政人员处于特权地位。我们假设，加拿大下议院中有影响力的职位，特别是负责支持部长或议会委员会主席的议会秘书，会增加利益集团游说者的外部压力。我们从联邦游说者登记处和加拿大议会网站上的公开数据列表中收集了国会议员和利益集团游说者之间的沟通数据，对这些假设进行了检验。我们的研究结果表明，议会秘书职位或标准委员会的席位使国会议员面临更高的游说量。关键词:议会秘书议会委员会后座议员游说行政部门披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。《薪俸法》规定了议会秘书的人数(《加拿大议会法》第46.2条，Citation2019)。在贾斯汀·特鲁多(Justin Trudeau)的领导下，这个数字与内阁部长人数同义，不包括没有职位的部长。3月5日，国务委员(https://pm.gc.ca/en/cabinet)、政务秘书官(https://pm.gc.ca/en/parliamentary-secretaries)、委员会委员(https://www.ourcommons.ca/Committees/en/List)的数据已在网上公开。我们排除全体委员会，即立法机关的全体成员减去议长。参见下议院2021.5第106(2)条。正如加拿大游说专员办公室(Office of Commissioner of lobby of Canada)网站上所述:“游说者登记条例规定，必须在月度报告中报告的沟通类型为‘口头和安排的沟通’，不包括与政策、项目或立法制定有关的公职人员发起的口头和安排的沟通。”内部游说者和顾问游说者必须报告所有与经济利益有关的口头和安排沟通，即使是由公职人员发起的。同样，顾问游说者必须报告与合同有关的口头和安排沟通，无论沟通是由谁发起的。”欲了解更多有关游说公开规定的详情，请访问:https://lobbycanada.gc.ca/en/rules/the-lobbying-act/advice-and-interpretation-lobbying-act/communicating-with-designated-public-office-holders/.6。我们不控制那些在休会期间任职的议员，这导致委员会的工作中断。
