Representative bureaucracy and workforce diversity have become central topics in the field of public administration. Although representation and diversity are distinct concepts, public administration researchers often conflate them. This study seeks to provide analytical clarity by outlining and comparing the various conceptual definitions of representation and diversity. We also explain the causal logic of how representation and diversity influence organizational performance. Finally, with South African local government as the research setting, we examine the empirical relationship between these two concepts and explore how different forms of representation and diversity are related to organizational performance.
代议制官僚和劳动力多样性已成为公共行政领域的中心议题。虽然代表性和多样性是两个截然不同的概念,但公共行政研究人员经常将它们混为一谈。本研究旨在通过概述和比较代表性和多样性的各种概念定义来提供分析清晰度。我们还解释了代表性和多样性如何影响组织绩效的因果逻辑。最后,我们以南非地方政府为研究背景,考察了这两个概念之间的实证关系,并探讨了不同形式的代表性和多样性如何与组织绩效相关。

This article problematizes the political economic drivers of policy (non-)design, instrument choice, and how prolonged non-design could trigger policy accumulation with serious implications for policy capacity. Focusing on the currency crisis-induced economic crisis in Turkey and relying on elite interviews and secondary resources, it argues that the design space, which is defined by the interactions between the credit-led growth model and the growth regime that prioritizes loose monetary and bank regulatory policies for higher economic growth rates, led to haphazard crisis response. Prolonged non-design in response to the crisis triggered policy accumulation and decay in systemic and organizational policy capacity.
本文探讨了政策(非)设计、工具选择的政治经济驱动因素,以及长期的非设计如何引发政策积累,对政策能力产生严重影响。围绕货币危机引发的土耳其经济危机,并依靠精英访谈和二级资源,它认为,由信贷主导的增长模式和优先考虑宽松货币和银行监管政策以提高经济增长率的增长机制之间的互动所定义的设计空间导致了随意的危机应对。应对危机的长期不设计引发了政策积累和系统和组织政策能力的衰退。

To understand the question why people obey or break rules, different approaches have focused on different theories and subsets of variables. The present research develops a cross-theoretical approach that integrates these perspectives. We apply this in a survey of compliance with COVID-19 pandemic mitigation rules in Israel. The data reveal that compliance in this setting was shaped by a combination of variables originating from legitimacy, capacity, and opportunity theories (but not rational choice or social theories). This demonstrates the importance of moving beyond narrow theoretical perspectives of compliance, to a cross-theoretical understanding-in which different theoretical approaches are systematically integrated.

为了理解人们为什么遵守或违反规则,不同的方法关注不同的理论和变量子集。本研究发展了一种整合这些观点的跨理论方法。我们将此应用于对以色列遵守COVID-19大流行缓解规则的调查。数据显示,这种情况下的依从性是由合法性、能力和机会理论(但不是理性选择或社会理论)等变量的组合形成的。这证明了超越顺从的狭隘理论视角,转向跨理论理解的重要性,在这种理解中,不同的理论方法被系统地整合。

Formal and Informal Accountabilities and Accountability Management: Impact on Work Performance 正式与非正式问责制与问责制管理:对工作绩效的影响

This study empirically examines the relationship between several accountability aspects and perceived work performance in the specific context of child-welfare services in the State of Virginia. The results show mixed evidence. For example, legal and ethical accountabilities positively affect performance, but each type of accountability (formal and informal) influences the work performance of child-welfare caseworkers differently—directly or indirectly—through a compliance strategy. Hierarchical accountability and the adoption of a discretionary strategy do not affect performance, at least in this context. Accountability management appears to play a meaningful role as a mediator within the accountability-performance link.
本研究实证研究了弗吉尼亚州儿童福利服务的特定背景下,几个问责方面与感知工作表现之间的关系。结果显示证据混杂。例如,法律和道德责任对绩效有积极影响,但每种类型的责任(正式和非正式)通过合规策略直接或间接地对儿童福利个案工作者的工作绩效产生不同的影响。分级问责制和采用自由裁量战略不会影响业绩,至少在这种情况下是这样。问责管理似乎在问责绩效环节中发挥了有意义的调解人作用。

Neither the Magic Bullet Nor the Big Bad Wolf: A Systematic Review of Frontline Judges’ Attitudes and Coping Regarding Managerialization 既不是灵丹妙药也不是大灰狼——对一线法官管理化态度与应对的系统考察

How do frontline judges perceive managerial reforms, and how do they cope with them? We relied on concepts from street-level bureaucracy to systematically review the effects of managerial techniques on frontline judges in 35 studies. We find that judges’ attitudes toward managerialization are more heterogeneous than might be anticipated. Beyond facing an increasing caseload, judges are pressed to reduce treatment times and costs as well as to play managerial roles. Judges’ mechanisms to cope with pressures include rationing, prioritizing, and routinizing. While managerialization is a solution to the increasing caseload, it might well affect the quality of justice.
一线法官如何看待管理改革,他们如何应对?我们依靠街头官僚机构的概念,在35项研究中系统地审查了管理技术对一线法官的影响。我们发现,法官对管理化的态度比预期的更具异质性。除了面临越来越多的案件外,法官还面临着减少治疗时间和费用以及发挥管理作用的压力。法官应对压力的机制包括定量配给、优先排序和程序化。虽然管理化是解决不断增加的案件数量的一种方法,但它很可能会影响司法质量。

This study tests the hypothesis that the role identity of street-level bureaucrats is related to variation in their discretionary decisions in relation to the behavior of citizen-clients. The study draws on crosssectional survey data on 465 officers from prisons in Denmark. Results from the study show a negative correlation between prison officers role identity as formalistic (state-agent) and the likelihood of differentiating in response to citizen-clients’ behavior. Correspondingly, the results shows a positive relationship between informal rule identification (citizen-agent) and differential responses against citizen-client behavior. The findings indicate a causal relationship between street-level bureaucrats’ role identity and their discretionary decisions.
本研究检验了这样一种假设,即街头官僚的角色认同与他们在公民客户行为方面的自由裁量决定的变化有关。这项研究利用了丹麦465名监狱官员的横断面调查数据。研究结果显示,监狱官员作为形式主义者(国家代理人)的角色认同与对公民客户行为做出区分的可能性之间存在负相关。相应地,研究结果表明,非正式规则识别(公民代理人)与对公民客户行为的差异反应之间存在正相关关系。研究结果表明,街头官僚的角色认同与他们的自由裁量决定之间存在因果关系。

I trace the bibliometric evolution of “New Public Management Is Dead” by Dunleavy et al. to investigate how the seminal paper influenced the administrative reform debate. They suggested Digital-Era Governance as the main post-NPM idea. My bibliometric analysis discovers public value, administrative reform trajectories, and digital government as influential themes. Unlike Dunleavy et al., the literature found the managerial reform wave is not linear, reform ideas are supplementary, and NPM remains a major toolkit. Future research should focus on reintegration and need-based holism, linking digital government to administrative reform, and the negative impact of digital government on democracy.
我追溯了Dunleavy等人的《新公共管理已死》的文献计量学演变,以调查这篇开创性的论文是如何影响行政改革辩论的。他们建议将数字时代治理作为后NPM的主要理念。我的文献计量分析发现,公共价值、行政改革轨迹和数字政府是有影响力的主题。与Dunleavy等人不同,文献发现管理改革浪潮不是线性的,改革思想是补充性的,NPM仍然是一个主要的工具包。未来的研究应侧重于重返社会和基于需求的整体主义,将数字政府与行政改革联系起来,以及数字政府对民主的负面影响。

The further involvement of citizens in the processing of their own cases is attracting attention as a possible strategy for improving the quality of employment services across national borders. However, employment services are characterized by detailed regulation and strong elements of conditionality. This article utilizes Bernardo Zacka’s framework on morality at the street level, drawing on focus group interviews to analyze how caseworkers in Denmark experience and deal with such demands for increased client participation. (1) We map four normative considerations that are emphasized by our informants: legality, authenticity, realism, and resonance. (2) In doing so, we outline two central cross-pressures that arise as they strive to balance client participation with conditionality in practice, namely between legality and authenticity, on the one hand, and between realism and resonance, on the other hand. (3) Finally, we unfold three coping strategies pursued by caseworkers to dampen such tensions: dividing the self, dissolving contradictions, and disassembling clients’ wishes. We add to the literature by studying coping strategies from a perspective that carefully highlights the normative elements of employment service work—the values frontline workers attribute particular importance to and strive to actualize in their work.
公民进一步参与处理他们自己的案件引起了人们的注意,认为这是提高跨国界就业服务质量的一种可能的战略。然而,就业服务的特点是详细的规定和强烈的条件因素。本文利用Bernardo Zacka关于街头道德的框架,利用焦点小组访谈来分析丹麦的社会工作者如何体验和处理增加客户参与的需求。(1)我们绘制了我们的线人强调的四个规范性考虑因素:合法性、真实性、现实性和共鸣。(2)在此过程中,我们概述了他们在实践中努力平衡客户参与与条件性时出现的两个主要交叉压力,即一方面在合法性和真实性之间,另一方面在现实主义和共鸣之间。(3)最后,我们揭示了个案工作者为抑制这种紧张关系所采取的三种应对策略:分裂自我、化解矛盾和拆解案主的愿望。我们通过研究应对策略来补充文献,从一个角度来仔细强调就业服务工作的规范要素-一线工作者在工作中特别重视并努力实现的价值观。

Opposites But Similar? Technocracy and Populism in Contemporary European Democracies 相反但相似?当代欧洲民主国家的技术官僚与民粹主义

The purpose of this paper is to examine the characteristics of two political phenomena: populism and technocracy. Often seen as opposites, the two factors are linked by some elements: both are described by their proponents as remedies to the legitimacy crisis that modern representative democracies are going through; both tend to define certain practices and principles of constitutional democracy that are insufficient to ensure effective governance of society; both see as their main remedy a restriction of the classical functions of representation and of the institutions of mediation (parties and parliament among all). Nevertheless, the two phenomena seem to follow the dynamics of opposite extremes: in the phases when the democratic order is increasingly identified with technocracy, the populist democratic eschatology gains confidence on the basis of the promise to return to citizens the power stolen from them by non-elective institutions. We will attempt to identify some key features that unite the two phenomena and we will highlight the differences in principle, the possible relationships as part of a more general democratic vulnus and the different types of impact they have on democracy and its principles.
本文的目的是考察两种政治现象的特征:民粹主义和技术官僚。这两个因素通常被视为对立面,但却被一些因素联系在一起:两者都被其支持者描述为对现代代议制民主正在经历的合法性危机的补救措施;两者都倾向于界定宪政民主的某些做法和原则,而这些做法和原则不足以确保社会的有效治理;双方都认为,限制代表性和调解机构(包括政党和议会)的传统职能是他们的主要补救措施。然而,这两种现象似乎遵循着相反极端的动态:在民主秩序日益与技术官僚政治相一致的阶段,民粹主义的民主末世论在承诺将被非选举机构从公民手中偷走的权力归还给公民的基础上获得了信心。我们将试图找出将这两种现象结合在一起的一些关键特征,并强调它们在原则上的差异、作为更普遍的民主弱点的一部分的可能关系,以及它们对民主及其原则的不同类型的影响。

With the increasing attention paid to environmental protection and sustainable development in various countries worldwide, the relationship between local government competition and environmental governance has become more subtle and complex. This paper provides new insight into their relationship based on public value theory and media sentiment perspective. Utilizing panel data from 2012 to 2019 in 216 cities in China, this study integrated Data Envelopment Analysis, Conflicting Attitudes Model, Computer-Aided Text Analysis, and machine learning-based sentiment analysis, as well as nonlinear mediation model to empirically test the relationships among local governments’ competition pressure, public value conflict, media sentiments, and environmental governance performance. The study found that: (1) Competition pressure and environmental governance performance exist in a “U-curved” relationship. (2) The core mechanism of the above relationship lies in the mediating role of public value conflict. Within a specific range, the public value conflict faced by local governments increases as competition pressure increases. This conflict would push local governments into a dilemma and induce them to commit misconduct. However, when competition pressure exceeds this range, the public value conflict faced by local governments will be weakened, leading environmental governance performance to rebound. (3) Negative media sentiments significantly alleviate the negative impact of public value conflict on environmental governance performance. This study helps researchers and policymakers recognize government competition’s influence on environmental governance from a public value perspective, with further exploration and confirmation of the moderating role of media sentiments. It also provides theoretical and policy enlightenment for rethinking the behavior logic of local government and solving the dilemma of local government environmental governance.
随着世界各国对环境保护和可持续发展的日益重视,地方政府竞争与环境治理之间的关系变得更加微妙和复杂。本文从公众价值理论和媒体情感视角对二者的关系进行了新的解读。本研究利用2012 - 2019年中国216个城市的面板数据,运用数据包膜分析、冲突态度模型、计算机辅助文本分析和基于机器学习的情感分析,以及非线性中介模型,实证检验了地方政府竞争压力、公众价值冲突、媒体情绪与环境治理绩效之间的关系。研究发现:(1)竞争压力与环境治理绩效呈“u”型关系。(2)上述关系的核心机制在于公共价值冲突的中介作用。在一定范围内,地方政府面临的公共价值冲突随着竞争压力的增大而增大。这种冲突会使地方政府陷入两难境地,并促使他们做出不当行为。但当竞争压力超过这一范围时,地方政府面临的公共价值冲突就会减弱,导致环境治理绩效反弹。(3)负面媒体情绪显著缓解了公众价值冲突对环境治理绩效的负面影响。本研究有助于研究者和决策者从公共价值的角度认识政府竞争对环境治理的影响,并进一步探索和确认媒体情绪的调节作用。为反思地方政府的行为逻辑,解决地方政府环境治理困境提供理论和政策启示。
