Authors:Beomgeun Cho Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. 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.

Authors:Didde Cramer Jensen, Michael Mulbjerg Pedersen Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. 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.

Authors:Bin Guan Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. 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.

Authors:Francesco Maria Scanni Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. 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.

Authors:Mathias Herup Nielsen, Merete Monrad Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. 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.

Authors:Yexin Mao Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. How to explain the distortion of public–private partnerships (PPPs) is underexplored. Drawing on the principal–agent theory, this article proposes an institutional incentive-driven framework. Based on a case study of PPPs in China, this article finds that central–local government relationships play a crucial role in shaping PPP performance. Goal incongruence and information asymmetry lead to two types of distortion. First, PPPs become a political task for local governments to higher-level governments’ needs. Second, PPPs serve as financing tools to create political achievements. These opportunistic behaviors violate the goals of the central government’s PPP policy and increase government debt risks.

Authors:Brian Stelbotsky, Luke Fowler Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Wisconsin’s Campus Free Speech Act provides a unique case study to examine the intersection of venue shopping and the multiple streams framework. After some initial traction, entrepreneur ran into roadblocks in the state legislature; then, shifted their attention to the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, where they were able to take advantage of an open policy window. When these events are considered holistically, they illustrate how manipulating institutional structures and fragmented authorities can help entrepreneurs achieve their goals.

Authors:I Putu Yoga Bumi Pradana, Wahyudi Kumorotomo, Ely Susanto Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. This study examines the critical factors contributing to institutionalizing creative ideas into a formal innovation and their difference in the regulatory-pillar output of innovation, which public sector innovation academics (PSI) rarely explored. Using multiple case study methods, this study interviewed 23 informants involved in four innovation cases in two local governments in Indonesia. This study highlighted nine critical factors in institutionalizing public innovation categorized into four dimensions: leadership, intra-organizational, innovation candidate attributes, and external environment. This study’s novel contribution lies in identifying critical factors and outputs of the institutionalization of public innovation.

Authors:Gregory Michener Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. This article theorizes and analyzes the relationship between populist leaders and government transparency. Employing a paired comparison of leaders in Brazil and the United States before and during the pandemic, it illuminates three interlocking tactics: (a) the weakening of transparency institutions, (b) erasure and suppression of transparency, and (c) corruption of transparency via misuse and misinformation. Populist efforts to subvert pandemic transparency elicited a striking response in both countries: the emergence of “compensatory transparency initiatives” (CTIs). By collating and disclosing subnational pandemic data to fill transparency gaps at the federal level, CTIs drew attention to populist failings.

Authors:Frank Hendriks, Charlotte Wagenaar Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. While deliberative citizens’ assemblies and plebiscitary referendums have long been perceived as antithetical, the idea of combining the two democratic instruments for better connecting administration and society has come to the fore in both theory and practice in more recent years. In this article, three ways of linking citizens’ assemblies to the referendum process are distinguished, exemplified, institutionally compared, and reflectively discussed. The three—the referendum-preparing, referendum-scrutinizing, and referendum-elaborating citizens’ assembly—come with their distinctive features, potential merits, scope limits, and related design questions. Fitting the “square peg of deliberative democracy” into the “round hole of direct democracy” and embedding hybrid design in diverging political systems are overarching challenges of institutional design. The article concludes that considering recent developments in theory and practice, the idea of a deliberative referendum linking citizens’ assemblies to direct voting on issues, seems an idea whose time has come, but also comes with challenges and questions that design thinkers and practitioners have only begun to tackle and answer.

Authors:Huan-Sheng Lin, Chu-Chien Hsieh, Don-Yun Chen Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. While disaster management provides an ideal testbed for interorganizational collaborative networks that pursue disaster assistance goals, limited research examines how multiplexity in multidimensional networks hinders disaster recovery efforts. This study examines the collaborative networks formed by intra-sector and cross-sector relationships among governments and NGOs in the context of post-disaster recovery, using a nationwide survey in Taiwan. The findings suggest that more heterogeneous contexts and more diversified network members would increase the complexity of network in it, and thus affecting network effectiveness of disaster management. Furthermore, NGO actors have faced the dilemma of building mutual ties through interorganizational and homogeneous collaboration.

Authors:Christopher A. Simon, Michael C. Moltz Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Representative bureaucracy has been a prominent construct in U.S. governance literature for more than three quarters of a century. Passive representation is an important first step toward active representation. Using a repeated cross-sectional design, we find that immigrant status and accompanying multigenerational effects impact the likelihood of employment in the public sector. The barrier of immigrant status and multigenerational effects are likely compounded by the educational achievement barrier associated with growing professionalism in the public sector.

Authors:Tamara Dimitrijevska-Markoski, Julius A. Nukpezah Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. This study relies on the cultural theory of risk to examine how cultural biases (hierarchy, individualism, egalitarianism, and fatalism) of local government officials affect their COVID-19 risk perception and support for COVID-19 mitigation measures. After controlling for partisanship, religiosity, and other factors, the analysis of survey data from county governments in the U.S. revealed that cultural biases matter. Officials with egalitarian and hierarchical cultural biases report higher support for adopting COVID-19 mitigation measures, while those with individualistic cultural biases report lower support. These findings highlight the need to understand cultural worldviews and develop cultural competencies necessary for governing traumatic events.

Authors:Stefania Ravazzi Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Over the last few decades, an increasing number of governments have promoted the setting up of so called “mini-publics” to integrate policymaking processes in an attempt to improve policy decisions. This phenomenon has highlighted the importance of mini-publics to become fully integrated in our democratic systems. By presenting the findings of an empirical research conducted on 29 local mini-publics, this paper aims to explain how mini-public design elements can affect the capacity of mini-publics to trigger or hinder two key integration mechanisms: the social legitimation mechanism and the institutional collaboration mechanism.

Authors:Yoshinobu Nakanishi Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Public accountability may involve dysfunction. However, few empirical studies explain when and how external accountability pressure and subsequent intraorganizational dynamics cause dysfunctions. To bridge this gap, using a case study method, we examined Japan’s public procurement after a series of scandals, focusing on the procurers’ cognition and behavior. First, we found that an administrative unit in a ministry leverages external pressure to enhance its power within the organization. Second, we identified bias toward procedural accountability rather than product accountability. Third, we noted the paradox that the excessive pursuit of procedural accountability undermines not only product accountability, but also procedural accountability.

Authors:Taha Hameduddin, Roberto Vivona Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Amid crises of trust in government, the legitimacy of public organizations has never been more important. In this context, access to performance information ensures democratic control, and thus legitimacy. However, performance evaluation is hindered by transaction costs in accessing and cognitive biases in interpreting performance. We examine two antecedents of citizen evaluations of performance: sector, and bureaucratic reputation. Utilizing two experiments on a representative sample of Indian citizens, we situate our paper amid the increasing privatization of public services, and reputation management strategies used to influence performance evaluations. We discuss our findings and their implications for public management theory and practice. Citation: Administration & Society PubDate: 2023-01-24T09:23:36Z DOI: 10.1177/00953997221147231

Authors:Ilana Shpaizman Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. To make a comprehensive policy change, actors often turn to the gradual path where they introduce small-scale changes hoping that their accumulation will meet their goal over time. Nonetheless, they often stop the transformative process before meeting their original goal. This paper argues that this can be explained by policy learning. When actors learn from reliable information that the accumulation of the small-scale changes does not meet their expectations, they stop the transformative process. At the same time, the policy is not illuminated due to feedback effects and beliefs by the majority of actors that the small-scale changes are beneficial.

Kuiper, Megan Brownlee, Emmeke Kooistra, Elke Olthuis, Adam Fine, Benjamin van Rooij Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. 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.

Authors:Erin Melton Robinson, Meredith Walker Anderson, Sadé A. Walker Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Public administration studies often fail to address the role of middle management in organizations. On the whole, most scholarship focuses on either top-level or street-level bureaucrats while the saliency of racial identity for management practices is an understudied phenomenon. Bridging the literatures on race in public administration and middle management, we argue that race is a significant component of managerial strategy. Utilizing a large-N dataset of school administrators, this analysis seeks to assess whether differences exist among mid-level managers. Specifically, this study addresses two questions. First, in what ways does middle manager strategy differ by race' Second, if such differences exist, how do they affect organizational performance' Preliminary findings suggest variation in management styles and policy preferences across racial groups. Moreover, race acts as a correlate of administrative and strategy choices, yet the overall impacts of these differential practices are mixed.

Authors:Luciana Cingolani Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Representative bureaucracy theory predicts that mirroring social groups in the composition of the bureaucracy will lead to inclusive policies and less overall exclusion of diverse individuals. While supporting evidence on policy outcomes is abundant, findings on subjective perceptions are mixed. This study tests three hypotheses linking representative bureaucracy to perceived same-group discrimination in the general population. It introduces a novel multidimensional index of bureaucratic underrepresentation, and uses mixed effects hierarchical models to approximate answers. Exploratory findings suggest an “awareness” mechanism may explain the counterintuitive relationship between underrepresentation and feelings of exclusion, by which more diverse public sectors develop alongside higher awareness of discrimination.

Authors:Robert Roberts Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. The article argues that the Pickering/Connick/Garcetti line of cases defining the First Amendment freedom of speech rights of public employees provides them little protection when they engage in organizational dissent. The article explains that the U.S. Supreme Court has embraced a managerial approach to the freedom of speech rights of public employees because of its belief that organizational dissent may seriously undermine the efficiency and effectiveness of public organizations. Due to this fact, the article argues that public employees must develop a comprehensive understanding of First Amendment freedom of speech jurisprudence to maximize their protection from retaliation.

Authors:Sophie Agulhon, Thomas Michael Mueller Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Managerial sciences are generally considered to be the art of efficiently running business. Their influence, though, extends far beyond the corporate sphere and they play an important part in public administration and in particular in its dialog with society at large. Here, from the viewpoint of historical institutionalism, we document one of the earliest successful examples of the wider application of management science: the 1914 antitrust rules (the Clayton Antitrust and Federal Trade Commission Acts) from the perspectives of economic scholars as technical experts, the early years of the Wilson administration, and the spheres of business and society. The societal debate about business and efficiency and the successive implementation of scientific managerial ideas in the administrative sphere, saw management science permeate the whole of American society and become an almost irrefutable aspect of everyday life and representations, thereby enabling it to spread well beyond the boundaries of the firm.Evidence for PracticeFrom a Science, Technology and Society (STS) perspective, managerial thinking extends far beyond technical debates or shared practices.Efficiency plays a dual role as a value and as a criterion of the optimal use of resources, which should be incorporated into public policy design with respect to business regulation.Negotiation between public administration and social actors is multidimensional and requires identifiable and accountable leaders.Clayton Antitrust legislation emergence can bring some return on experience to current debates about Digital Market Act at European Union level.

Authors:Marian Negoita, Madeleine Levin, Anne Paprocki First page: 211 Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Extant literature has emphasized the role of significant inconveniences for participants as a chief reason for under-enrollment in a variety of social safety net programs. Consequently, a variety of policies have been proposed to address this issue. This paper asserts that the capacity of states, especially of frontline workers, to implement these policies should not be taken for granted. Our analysis of two policies aimed at increasing elderly participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program suggests that policies that increased burdens for frontline workers were implemented less faithfully and more unevenly, possibly leading to more administrative burden on program participants. The article proposes several methods to decrease implementation burden on frontline workers. Citation: Administration & Society PubDate: 2022-08-11T09:41:36Z DOI: 10.1177/00953997221115473

Authors:Caitlin McMullin First page: 239 Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. In this paper, I explore how different conceptions of public value influence the types of co-production that professionals undertake in delivering projects to reduce loneliness and isolation of older people. The analysis shows a preponderance of individual and group co-production by the case in England, driven by aims to create user and group value, whereas the French case emphasizes collective co-production linked to social and political value. The research contributes to the co-production literature by showing how types of co-production are prioritized to a different extent to address the same social problem, shaped in part by cultural and political context.

Authors:Johanna Söderström, Marcus Wangel First page: 264 Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. The ability to access the state as a taxpaying citizen is important for the purposes of building trust and reciprocity, voicing grievances and disseminating knowledge, and strengthening tax compliance and transparency. Based on original empirical data, this paper elaborates a theoretical argument of how state-citizen encounters in the case of taxation are conditioned by five interacting factors. Drawing on interviews with tax officials and taxpayers in Windhoek, Namibia, this paper shows that these five factors are weakly present and negatively reinforce each other, thereby providing insights into the Namibian tax system and everyday state-citizen tax encounters in developing countries.

Authors:Katherine Farrow, Gilles Grolleau, Naoufel Mzoughi First page: 294 Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Behavioral public administration theory suggests that seemingly irrelevant word choice manipulations can influence behavior. We contend that the power of words has frequently been overlooked in the COVID-19 crisis. Given that most decisions mobilize System 1 cognition, words can be an important tool in pursuing socially-desirable outcomes. Beyond their substantive content, words choice matters because language operates largely via automatic processes. Based on findings from this literature, words can be harnessed to induce behavioral change aligned with public health objectives. We elucidate several mechanisms through which these effects are likely to occur and suggests concrete applications to the COVID-19 crisis.

Authors:Amanda D. Clark, Christina S. Barsky, Monica A. Bustinza First page: 308 Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. The American democratic system depends on the regular execution of free and fair elections, delivered by front-line public workers. Local election officials (LEOs), their staff, and temporary election workers are tasked with providing excellent constituent service and expertise with a high degree of professionalism. Following the 2020 U.S. presidential contest, the very institution of elections has been under attack. This exploratory study investigates the impact of emotional labor on election workers in this atmosphere. The authors uncover the presence and nuances of emotional labor in election administration and raise questions about what this means for the future of election administration.

Authors:Muhammad Azfar Nisar, Ayesha Masood First page: 326 Abstract: Administration & Society, Ahead of Print. Global public administration remains an incomplete project with contested notions of its aims and objectives. Given its disputed nature we focus on developing a negative definition of global public administration. We argue that a global public administration cannot be based on a singular ontology, western epistemology and Eurocentric research agenda. Moreover, a truly global public administration must not be committed to myopic limitations concerning its scope, historicity, objectives and research methods. To help foster discussion toward reimagining a different public administration, based on the postcolonial work of Khatibi, we argue for an otherwise thinking about global public administration. This would require looking with alterity for inspiration and insight, looking back to learn from history, looking differently to formulate new questions through new lenses, looking inwards at disciplinary exclusions, and looking dialectically to navigate the macro-micro research divide.
