Audiences that observe and interact with government agencies play a crucial role in shaping these agencies' reputations. However, existing research often treats these audience networks as monolithic, overlooking the inherent diversity in their cognitive and emotional processing of reputational information. This approach fails to account for the variations in how audiences experience and evaluate agencies. To address this gap, we propose a new research agenda focused on the role of emotions in bureaucratic politics. We introduce a novel theoretical framework of Reputation Learning, informed by Affect‐as‐Information Theory and Affective Intelligence Theory, to explore the downstream effects of emotions as content and as process in shaping judgment formation and information processing. Specifically, we identify emotion‐based components of bureaucratic reputation and examine how emotions influence audience decision‐making processes and perceptions of government agencies. We conclude by outlining four key contributions of this framework to advancing the study of emotions in bureaucratic politics.

Gender imbalance in public sector hiring remains a persistent concern, yet research often overlooks how job advertisement features influence applicant self‐selection. Thus, we focus on gender sorting in the public labor market, a mechanism potentially causing structural self‐selection among job seekers. The study investigates how gender sorting affects applicant pools by examining gendered language and the gender of the contact person in job advertisements. We empirically test these mechanisms using a unique multi‐source dataset consisting of actual job advertisements, a survey among recruiters issuing these job advertisements, and organization‐level data (n = 1859). We obtain measures for gendered language using quantitative text analysis. Results from hierarchical linear models indicate that more feminine wording relates to a higher number and share of applications by women. Our research contributes to the literature, testing why women may apply less for some public sector jobs. The implications for research and policymakers and emphasize the relevance of gender sorting mechanisms in recruiting.

This study examines how revenue sources influence nonprofit policy engagement. Drawing on resource dependence theory and nonprofit‐government relationship perspectives, we categorize 19 forms of engagement into three types: (1) Complementary Partnerships, (2) Supplementary Contributions, and (3) Adversarial Influence on Government. Results show that the share of government funding is positively associated with these three forms of policy engagement. Also, we distinguish between non‐lobbying advocacy and legislative lobbying, revealing distinct funding patterns. Our expanded models further highlight that access to key funding sources, especially government funding, matters more for advocacy than the extent of reliance on them. These findings emphasize the need for more nuanced measures of nonprofit policy engagement to deepen our understanding of how funding structures shape nonprofit‐government interactions.

In 2009, the US federal government created the Build America Bond (BAB) program to improve access to the capital markets for state and local governments. While the federal government typically subsidizes subnational capital financing indirectly through tax exemption, the BAB program provided direct cash subsidies to governments. The Budget Control Act of 2011 implemented a sequester that reduced BAB subsidies by 5.7 to 8.7% each year since 2013. This paper estimates previous and potential future sequestration losses on all outstanding BABs as of the end of 2022. It delves into BAB use and sequestration by two issuers (governments in the state of Texas and City of Chicago). The paper concludes with a discussion of the current state of BABs as it relates to recent litigation and refinancing attempts. The loss estimates provide lessons for the provision and management of federal direct subsidies available to state and local governments.

Governing arrangements involving public, private, and third-sector actors are increasingly initiated to tackle sustainability challenges. Their value creation relies on the collective efforts of diverse stakeholders, but actors adhering to different institutional logics have divergent opinions on what collaborative value creation should encompass and how it should be measured and managed. This integrative literature review explores the performance measurement and management (PMM) of collaborative governance initiatives for sustainable development, focusing on how multiple institutional logics are integrated into PMM. By reviewing 104 research articles and book chapters from various disciplines and policy domains, the review highlights the omission of hybridity in PMM of collaborations and proposes multi-logic PMM approaches to enhance the integration of multiple logics into PMM research and practice. The review concludes with propositions for further theorization and development of performance governance that enhances understanding of institutional hybridity and diversity in collaborative governance.

Based on archival data, this study utilizes the theoretical framework of policy transfer to conduct a case analysis of the history of PACH's transnational dissemination of its unique networking ideas, institutional models, and practices in the mid-20th century. The findings indicate that during the two stages before and after World War II, PACH's transnational transfer activities demonstrated different features in terms of motives, actors, content, routes, degrees, constraints, and facilitating factors for transfer. Our analysis shows the transnational transfer capabilities possessed by professional organizations as a special type of non-state actor, as well as the dual influence of professional mission and geopolitical factors on its transfer processes. This study provides a complementary perspective and empirical evidence for explaining the network formation in the field of public administration. The findings may help contemporary public administrative organizations consider how to adopt more effective strategies to participate in global governance through transnational cooperation.
