Abstract: Abstract Of all natural disasters, those especially liable to exhaust capacity are those that occur without a precedent, and cause surprise to public administration officials. This paper addresses this issue. Surprise can be mitigated by considering downward counterfactuals, which can be viewed as contributing to surprise management. These are alternative realizations of historical events, where things turned for the worse. Disaster risk may be mitigated by focusing on downward counterfactuals. Particular focus is given to the earthquake and volcanic risk at Campi Flegrei, in the Naples region of Italy, where the bradyseism crisis of 1982–1983 is considered from a downward counterfactual perspective.

Abstract: Abstract Local government institutions play a crucial role in delivering essential services to urban residents. Citizen satisfaction with these institutions serves as a vital indicator of good governance. This study aims to assess the determinants of citizen satisfaction with urban local government service, focusing on the Pabna municipality of Bangladesh. Utilizing a quantitative research approach, the study collected structured survey data from 200 respondents and analysed it using statistical methods such as descriptive statistics, correlation assessment, and principal component analysis. The results show that service accuracy, the creation of a conducive service environment, and aspects related to service accessibility and timeliness are crucial factors affecting citizen satisfaction. These factors constitute the key determinants of citizen satisfaction within the municipal area. This study emphasizes the imperative for municipal authorities to prioritize staff training, invest in enhancing the service environment, and streamline service processes to align with the evolving expectations of citizens, thereby contributing to the overall advancement of urban areas in Bangladesh.

Abstract: Abstract This study delves into the crucial topic of turnover intention among U.S. Federal Employees, shedding light on the workplace factors that play a pivotal role in mitigating this issue. Through the utilization of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analyses, the study meticulously examines various workplace contextual factors and their impact on turnover intention. The standout finding of the study underscores the paramount importance of opportunities for growth and development (Factor 4) in reducing turnover intention. This emphasizes the significance of investing in employees’ professional advancement and creating avenues for them to expand their skills and progress in their careers. Moreover, the study brings to the forefront additional factors that contribute to decreased turnover intention, such as longer tenure, higher salary, gender (with females exhibiting lower turnover intention), and age. These insights not only provide a nuanced understanding of the dynamics at play but also offer actionable strategies for organizations to address turnover concerns effectively. By identifying these key factors, the study equips HR professionals and decision-makers with valuable guidance for implementing tailored HRM practices aimed at curbing turnover and fostering a more stable and satisfied workforce within the U.S. Federal sector. Ultimately, these findings have the potential to drive tangible improvements in employee retention and organizational performance. PubDate: 2024-06-17 DOI: 10.1007/s11115-024-00784-y

Abstract: Abstract This study investigates factors driving occupational fraud in the Maldivian public sector, from the perspective of external auditors. Using survey data from 59 auditors associated with the Auditor General's Office, it employs quantitative analysis, including regression modeling. Results indicate work-related pressure and employee denial of responsibility significantly influence fraud, with internal control effectiveness inversely linked to fraud occurrence. Financial pressure emerges as the primary fraud driver, surpassing work-related pressure. These findings offer crucial insights for policymakers, organizational leaders, and auditors, informing targeted strategies to prevent and detect fraud effectively, thus enhancing organizational resilience against fraudulent activities in Maldivian governmental entities.

Abstract: Abstract Studies regarding the economic, social, and environmental impacts of sustainable policies and practices in the public sector are scarce. This is an important gap, as the public sector is oftentimes one of the largest, if not the largest, employer in a region or a country. The current study characterizes the sustainability reporting of the Portuguese municipalities in terms of their most recent sustainability report published online, aiming to better understand the pillars of sustainability. The research is based on secondary data publicly available. Results show that only 28 municipalities (out of 308) published a sustainability report, and that most information are focused on showing a balance between environmental and economic data; the results also show that there is a lack of social information, and that only a few reports show an alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract: Abstract No corner of the globe could wall itself off from the threats of the Great Recession of 2008. Because of the economic calamity, numerous citizens were devastated by the economic fallouts such as unemployment and inflation, and subsequently endured the diminished level of well-being. The purpose of this paper is to provide a picture of how France and Germany weathered the ramifications of the Great Recession. For both countries, the impact of the Great Recession had been tempered, not only by expansionary policies, but also by the retrenchment policy. Combination of two opposing policies led to stabilization of the state. For France, public leadership and innovation contributed to lessening the severity of the Great Recession. For Germany, relatively stable public services and pension helped to whittle down the baleful effects of the Great Recession. PubDate: 2024-06-08 DOI: 10.1007/s11115-024-00780-2

Abstract: Abstract Various forms of human exploitation, including human trafficking and forced labor are on the rise globally. The article proposes that governments have the means to act as end buyers, regulators, and law enforcers at the same time to contain and eliminate human trafficking from all supply chains they may reach. The article revisits three legislative models and examines the question whether the policies they represent can be rendered sufficient. The article finds that all regimes have their unique shortcomings. Furthermore, legislators tend to avoid rigor by applying back-door exceptions. PubDate: 2024-06-08 DOI: 10.1007/s11115-024-00779-9

Abstract: Abstract We use the 2018 round of the Egypt Labor Market Panel Survey (ELMPS) to investigate the public-private job satisfaction differential in the case of Egypt. Descriptive statistics show that public sector employees report higher job satisfaction levels compared to their private sector counterparts. For instance, the mean reported overall job satisfaction is 4.57, on a scale from 1 to 5, for public sector employees compared to 3.92 for private sector workers. We find that the difference persists, even after controlling for confounding factors in our regression models. We discuss the possible explanations of this public-private job satisfaction differential. PubDate: 2024-06-04 DOI: 10.1007/s11115-024-00774-0

Abstract: Abstract Social work and religion are closely linked by historical ties and roots. In virtually the entire known world, social support for the needy was inspired by religious and spiritual ideas and dogmas. This did not pass for the Russian state in different periods of its political structure, which has its own national specifics. The paper provides rationale for the continuity of community service as a manifestation of advanced Russian political and philosophical ideas of 19th − 20th centuries. The study showed a more than twofold increase in the number of volunteers in all community-based organizations over the analyzed period of 2012–2020.

Abstract: Abstract The study introduces the Five-Year Plan as an assignable Chinese experience for attaining comprehensive development to provide policy reference for goal-based development related to sustainability. Before illustrating a dynamic localized implementation path of merging the UN Development Strategy and China's national planning policies, the paper uses quantitative comparative analysis to depict an overview of this dynamic. Two key features, goal integration and development efficiency, were then built to characterize China's multidimensional development goal implementation capacity. Then, we implemented a high-dimensional fixed-effects model to examine how different stages of development impacted the likelihood of achieving our goals.

Abstract: Abstract The study aimed to answer what explains the perceived trustworthiness of female civil servants in three South Asian countries using a country-representative survey (n = 6240; 2,740 in Bangladesh; 2,256 in Nepal and 1,244 in Sri Lanka). The study finds that efficiency, level of corruption, life satisfaction, and generalized trust seem to have varied levels of impact in determining the trustworthiness of female civil servants. Perceived efficiency level is closely associated with the degree of trust in female civil servants in Bangladesh and Nepal, whereas corruption seems to have a significant influence in Sri Lanka. Life satisfaction affects all three countries, gender affects Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, whereas education has a positive association in Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Abstract: Abstract Sustainable development issues require comprehensive actions to achieve them – from national governments to local municipalities. There is a special need to form a comprehensive and balanced policy of sustainable socio-economic development at the municipal level. The article reveals the concept of sustainable development and key approaches to ensuring the management of the development of municipalities in Russia, taking into account the global principles of sustainable development. The hypothesis is put forward that the choice of a sustainable development strategy by municipal leaders largely depends on the economic state of the municipality, the political goals of municipal leaders-managers and the activity of the population. The research summarizes the materials of the study of the practice of municipal management in the municipality of one of the cities of the Moscow region. The current foreign experience of strategic documents developing focused on the active implementation of the principles of sustainable development is presented. This was done in order to study the “best practices” to activate the process of transition to sustainable development in Russia. The approach proposed by the authors to the development of a socio-economic development strategy is described in detail on the example of a Russian municipality – the “Stupino” urban district.

Abstract: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant changes in urban life that will be noticeable for many years to come. The prevailing model of the big city in the modern world is based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, it is still unclear how the lessons of the pandemic will be reflected in the SDGs. Which of the goals will become a priority. The case of St. Petersburg presents the evolution of the strategic approach in management from 1997 to 2035. The content analysis of St. Petersburg’s strategies confirmed our assumption about the imbalance of plans to achieve the SDGs. The SDGs are present in the strategies explicitly and implicitly, which makes it difficult to achieve them. PubDate: 2024-06-01 DOI: 10.1007/s11115-022-00695-w
