First, this paper argues that people have lower support for unemployment benefits if they attribute unemployment to individual characteristics. Second, it is argued that the effect of individual attribution of unemployment on support for unemployment benefits is larger for people with low risk of unemployment. People who are less likely to receive future benefits are more sensitive to the possibility that receivers are free-riders who do not deserve benefits. Supporting individual level evidence is provided by statistical analysis using the European Social Survey (ESS).

The 2007 revision has contributed to expanding the applicability of the ACF to policy processes in both pluralistic and nonpluralistic political systems by creating a new category of variables called the coalition opportunity structure. Using a case study of nuclear energy in South Korea, which experienced a transition of the coalition opportunity structure from authoritarian to pluralist in the late 1980s, this study explores the mediating role of coalition opportunity structures in the relationship between an external shock and policy change. The findings indicate that contrary to what the ACF predicts, external shocks are exploited by a dominant coalition to further strengthen its power in the policy process in an authoritarian structure. External shocks do not have the same effect on policy subsystems in different coalition opportunity structures, and the relationship between an external shock and policy change is not a simple stimulus-response reaction. In addition, by contrasting the effect of an external shock in an authoritarian structure with that in a pluralist structure, this study explores how an external shock can function as a pathway to policy change as the ACF predicts.

Surprisingly little research exists on the self-efficacy of municipal employees engaging in innovative activities. Using survey data from 1,700 Russian municipal employees this study finds that innovative self-efficacy of front- and mid-level employees results from high levels of proactivity, strong prosocial motivation, a strong perception of empowerment, and more than 7 years of working experience. Our findings imply a potential for change-oriented behavior among municipal employees. We argue that rigid centralism in decision-making and a culture of self-enrichment (as opposed to prosocial motivation) prevent innovative self-efficacy becoming public service improvement on a large scale more frequently.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the analysis of governmental structures and formal (legal) arrangements. One component of institutional analysis is the manner in which power, authority, tasks, functions, and services are divided (or shared) on an area basis. What are the assigned responsibilities of the central (national) governing entity and what are those of the regional (state/province/local) governmental jjurisdiction? In other words, how is authority divided on an area vs. functional basis? descriptions or definitions of this division of authority on an area basis have employed a variety of terms to guide analysis, interpretations, and advocacy. Examples of such terms or concepts are: Federalism (Elazar, 1987), Intergovernmental Relations (Anderson, 1960; Wright, 1988), Central-Local Relations (Horie and Nagata, 1999) Local Autonomy (Horie and Nishio, 1997) and Multi-Level Governance (Hooge and Marks, 2003).For purposes of this paper we have opted for the concept of Intergovernmental Relations (IGR). Among other issues addressed in the paper, the choice of this concept is elaborated and clarified. The central component of the paper, however, is a historical analysis of the phases of IGR in Korea and Japan. This approach to the study of IGR as phases (periods or eras) has established precedents (Elazar, 1990; Wright, 1988, 1997; Koike and Wright, 1998). This serial or sequential approach has also utility in a comparative sense (Koike and Wright, 1998; orie and Nishio, 1997). This paper extends prior analyses to development of IGR in Korea and Japan. Both nations have recently instituted various reforms involving IGR. It is appropriate and pertinent to examine these developments and to place them in a comparative context.

GETI is an electronic consumption tax architecture to provide “all-in-one” tax and e-payment services through a trusted third party (TTP). GETI is designed to streamline the overall cyber-taxation process and provide simplified and transparent tax invoice services through an authorized TTP. To ensure information security, GETI incorporates Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) based digital certificates and other data encryption schemes when calculating, reporting, paying, and auditing tax in the electronic commerce environment. GETI is based on the OECD cyber-taxation agreement that was reached in January 2001, which established the taxation model for B2B and B2C electronic commerce transactions.For the value added tax systems, tax invoices are indispensable to commerce activities to provide documentation to prove the validity of commercial transactions. As paper-based tax invoice systems are gradually phased out and are replaced with electronic tax invoice systems, there is an increasing need to develop a reliable, efficient, transparent, and secured cyber-taxation architecture. To design such an architecture, several desirable system attributes were considered, reliability, efficiency, transparency and security. GETI was developed with these system attributes in mind.

The study finds that there has been a relative drop in the share of the defense expenditures, with a growing proportion of federal outlays being channeled to the nondefense sector. This has resulted in the fluctuations of division/regional rankings (expressed as per capita outlays as a percentage of national per capita outlays) in both nondefense and defense expenditures. This trend contributed to the narrowing of funding disparities among divisions/ regions, which resulted in an emerging “dynamic spatial equity” of federal outlays during the period studied.

While world cities share some common economic characteristics they also have distinct roles in the international spatial division of labor. However, existing studies lack in providing comparative data to show the nature of world city economies across all industrial sectors. This paper compares industrial characteristics of world cities and based on the performances during the 1990’s, assesses the competitive situations. Comparison is made between Asian and Western cities and between primary and secondary cities. The industrial performances in world cities during the 1990’s indicate that a number of Asian and secondary world cities are gaining competitiveness over Western and primary world cities especially in FIRE (Finance, Insurance, Real Estate), business services, trade, hotels and restaurants. If appropriate policies are pursued to enhance dynamism, it is reasonable to expect that these cities will emerge as major world cities, complementing or even replacing the roles of top leading cities.

This was achieved by undertaking stated preference experiments in the Greater Oxford area in UK. The forecasts of the impact of transport improvements on house prices suggest road user charging might reduce house prices on average by around 2%. A 10% change in fuel duty leads to an average change in house prices of around 3%, but with the direction of change being uniform throughout the study area. It was also found that introducing a new public transport might increase house prices by around 3% on average, with the greatest increases in central Oxford.

For this purpose, the study selects Daegu City as a case. The third largest city in Korea, began to construct digital maps for GIS from the year 1988 and completed city-wide digital mapping for GIS in the year 2000. The study collects data from the year 1988 through 2000. Based on this data, the study simulates future costs and benefits in order to find the shortest payback period. According to a BCA simulation with 4% interest rate, accumulative net benefits become positive from the year 2011, which is 11 years after the completion of its GIS construction and 24 years after the beginning of digital mapping for GIS. Finally, the study discusses some pitfalls of BCA, such as unclear goal definition, weak assumption on the system sustainability and other intangible detriments.

This revision may be labeled a puzzle based on the fact that although the Greenbelt had been considered to be one of the most impregnable institutions in Korea it is now faced with a complete reformulation following the previous government reform initiation six years ago. In order to solve the puzzle, this study adopts an approach that focuses the role of the government in the redistribution of property rights. To do so, this study first describes in detailed fashion the process of the Greenbelt revision from 1997 up to the present. Secondly, this study delineates three models on the role of government in the redistribution of property rights: the naive model, the interest group model, and the strong state model. Thirdly, this study attempts to empirically assess the most adequate model to explain the role of the government in the revision of the Korean Greenbelt. Finally, this study draws policy implications using both theoretical and empirical analyses. The major policy recommendation drawn from the analyses is that, as the major impetus behind the revision of the Korean Greenbelt appears to be the realization of the private interests of the ruler at the costs of the general public, a mechanism should be strengthened to restrain the exercise of power by the ruler of the government with regards to the redistribution of property rights.

The paper is composed of four parts: 1) identification of the major reform measures, 2) evaluation of the reform logic, 3) evaluation of the major reform measures, and 4) evaluation of the major reform processes and steps. Although it appears that the administrative restructuring by the Kim Dae-jung Administration has been based on neo-liberalism, it is debatable whether the administrative reforms of Kim Dae-jung’s administration truly captured the ideas of neo-liberalism. Contrary to what might be expected, the administrative reforms of Kim Dae-jung’s administration were mainly based on development-centered administrative principles combined with populism and political rhetoric. As a consequence, the reforms lost consistency and floundered. The reform agenda was monopolized by the Office of Government Reform (OGR) or some similar organizations (committees) and implemented in a top-down manner. The Korean government has implemented about fifty structural reforms at the central level up to now. Despite all these reforms, the Korean government is still criticized for rigidity and under-performance. Therefore, now is the time to realize that structural reforms are not the goal of administrative reforms but a tool to enhance the performance of the government. One of the most important functions of the government is to build up the system to consistently implement administrative reforms.

Discussion about the influences of familism on modernization has contradictory features, but familism impedes trust among other non-family members and this undermines capacities for economic growth in a world of rapidly advancing information technology. This paper analyzes the relationships between familism and interpersonal trust by use of the data collected from a survey on public officials of the Korean central government. Different from the argument of Fukuyama (1995), affectionate familism, positively but weakly, influences trust in others in terms of action as well as cognition. Note that quasi-familism positively influences trust in others more strongly than affectionate familism. However, economic and instrumental solidarity among family members decreases trust in others outside the immediate family and strengthens family egoism.

It draws on some classic literature as framework and then discusses leadership principles and practices distilled, independently from differing views and experiences, by Colin L. Powell and Rudolph W. Giuliani. The purpose here is to highlight varying approaches to the vital role of leadership in administrative processes. The article then considers the moral foundation of leadership judgments. The public interest is the defining responsibility of the government official. The essence of leadership is moral judgment—which principles of action should embed. That the public interest is difficult to define, and subject to political controversy, does not detract from the moral basis of official duty and responsibility.

Abstract: People are the key to enhancing productivity in any organization and that increasing desire to be maximally productive is difficult but the most endurable way to improve productivity in an organization. Highlighting the importance of a multidimensional view of employee commitment, this paper argues that the conventional view of organizational commitment does not tell the whole story about individual performance and productivity. Identifying multiple foci of employee commitment beyond the organization helps explain various motivational bases among employees toward productivity improvement efforts. Critical issues regarding a multidimensional view of employee commitment in the public sector are examined to further explore possible research areas and strategies that might expand on existing literature in both organizational behavior and productivity. For this purpose, seven propositions are suggested with discussion based on implications.

Fortunately economic theory has much to contribute in the formulation of appropriate policies. The extant market failure and government failure paradigms, which have proved so useful to policymakers, can be augmented by an emergent theory of voluntary sector failure, in order to design social service delivery policies based on comparative institutional advantage. This paper summarises the generic economic approaches to the voluntary sector and outlines the embryonic theory of voluntary failure. It concludes by briefly discussing the applicability of the theory of voluntary sector behaviour to the delivery of public employment services in contemporary Australia.

The purpose is to explore the relative importance of variables in predicting individual differences in the risk perceptions of nuclear power, and to examine the potential implications for policy. This study proposes to develop a more comprehensive understanding of variables that predict the risk perceptions associated with nuclear power. In this study, multivariate analyses are conducted. Dependent variable is the risk perceptions of nuclear power. Independent variables include perceived risk characteristics, perceptions of need for nuclear power, knowledge levels of nuclear power, trust in information sources and management, experiences (familiarity) with nuclear power, participation, perceptions of costs (disadvantage) and benefits (advantages), and demographics. The method used for data collection is a survey (structured interview) with 500 randomly selected individuals from the Youngkwang (YK) nuclear power plant in Korea. The results indicate several variables are significant. The potential policy implications of the findings are discussed.

The purpose of this study is not to know the influence of the movement on the election result but to analyze the movement process with special reference to the Resource Mobilization Theory. The movement process is analyzed in terms of goal, organization, legitimacy, political opportunity, movement strategy, and leadership. The internet as a new form of movement tool plays a key role in gathering public opinion, spreading information, getting support and persuading critical issues. It relieves burdens like time and place resources which off-line movements have. The movement leaders were well trained to form a strong network and use composite strategies based on past NGO’s activities.

This paper examines various issues public managers confront in their efforts to manage and monitor performance contracts. To do so, this paper studies the case of Florida human services and explores challenges and difficulties the contracting staff experience when attempting to evaluate provider performance. In particular, this paper focuses on: (1) why public managers prefer quantitative performance indicators to qualitative measures; (2) why data collection systems are critical for effective performance contract management, but tend to be neglected by public managers; and 3) why data validation and monitoring are so essential in successful performance contracting. In the last two sections, this paper discusses the roles and responsibilities of two critical players in performance contracting: contract managers and monitors. While their functions are an integral part of the contracting process, it is noted that contract managers often lack the necessary skills and training to manage their contracts in effective manners and conflicting oversight roles between contract managers and monitors contribute to poor, inconsistent performance evaluation.

This paper is to review the contents and background of SMG reform measures and the basic strategies. This paper serves as a useful source of information for central and local governments that are pursuing reform or academics interested in studying administrative reform. The reforms of the SMG under Goh Kun as a whole are significant in many ways with regard to the reform of local governments in Korea. The SMG reforms have been innovative and groundbreaking compared to those of other entities. Some of the reform measures have encouraged many local governments and even the central government to take action, as exemplified in the OPEN system which has now proliferated across the country. The reform programs of the SMG have also helped improve the image of the Korean administration toward the outside. The high recognition it received from Transparency International and the United Nations in defeating corruption has done a great deal to raise international confidence in Korea. It is encouraging that the OPEN system has been replicated in so many other countries around the world. Korea has always adopted reform programs from outside sources but it is now taking the lead.

The Velocity Management has adopted the multidimensional metrics of time, cost, and quality. This led to changes from the view of provider by function to customer by process. Shifts of management focus occurred from compliance and budget execution toward customer satisfaction and performance improvement. Velocity Management has used the “Define-Measure-Improve” (D-M-I) methodology analogous to systematic methodologies of leading commercial firms. This paper examines how this simple and iterative tool has lead continuous improvements efforts, and built consensus in reforming Army logistics as well as how these lessons can be applied to other non-defense public organizations.

It scrutinizes the issues of whether those who are highly motivated by public service values act in a morally high way. The results showed that only the variable of self-sacrifice in public service motivation was statistically significant in the post-conventional level of principled reasoning. The association was positive, but commitment to the public interest was not statistically significant in either model. This suggests that self-sacrifice in public service motivation is one of the critical factors that influence the ethical reasoning level of public administrators. Public servants with a higher sense of self-sacrifice employed principled reasoning to resolve ethical quandaries. Education and training of public administrators that focuses on the development of an active attitude in public service motivation can encourage public servants to behave in an ethically high way.

Few of them have succeeded in building a premise that would understand the fundamental nature of the nexus between the two fields. Studies have addressed environmental problems across countries, but most of them relied on only a few cases. Furthermore, these studies often provided simple fragments of empirical tests without a well-developed theoretical framework. Such limitations resulted in a lack of a comprehensive theory and a scarcity of large-N comparative studies. This study attempts to fill this gap by examining policy adoption, specifically by investigating influences on policy adoption across 120 nations using multiple-regression analysis. Findings suggest that the presences of international environmental organizations are the key factor to affect the magnitude of policy adoption of national governments as related to global environmental protection.

This article identifies the limits of existing policy choice models, presents an adaptive model as a new explanatory tool that suits situations of extreme uncertainty, complexity and chaos. It addresses a series of discussions on contents, features and utility. An adaptive model as a decision-making principle in which complex factors seek norms in positive sum amidst dynamic uncertainty in a policy environment does not only complement existing theoretical deficiency current policy-making models, but also reaches an explanation surpassing them. It also has the features of a self-access study system settling, managing inherent policy contradictions and tracing goals in the midst of extreme disorder and chaos through an infinite self-evolution process. Ultimately, it can develop into a policy choice model with the highest adaptability. In the uncertain, dynamic and non-linear chaotic environments of today, this model can control disturbance in policy outcomes and deal with interference by unpredictable opportunistic factors. It can inspire officers in charge of policy implementation, and force bureaucratic government organizations into self-organization and change.

The four traditional controls, identified from grid-group cultural theory, are oversight, mutuality, competition and contrived randomness. It is assumed that such control systems are central to the shaping of behaviour, accountability and expectations in government organizations. The argument is that, while the technologies of the information society alter the operation of public organizations in a number of fundamental ways, these four basic approaches to control do not change or at least tend to reappear in new guises. Each of the four basic control approaches is capable of being supported by the technologies of the information age, though in the case of contrived randomness that effect may be largely unintentional. The same can be argued to apply to the six pairwise hybrid types of control that can be drawn from the four basic types. It seems likely that culture is the critical ‘switch’ that determines how technologies are used and the organizational impact of their use.

It examines the central concerns and ideas in the field addressed by theories drawing from rational and interpretativist perspectives. Thus, theoretical fragmentation is recognized and the controversial views of the effects of communication are presented. Characteristics of IT-mediated communication are identified, positive and negative impacts on organizational effectiveness examined, as is the IT-mediated communication effect on group behaviour. It is concluded that the effective choice of communication media depends on organizational understanding of the message the organization is trying to communicate to internal as well as external stakeholders and what specific behaviour an organization is trying to promote.

In examining many of the fundamental building block concepts deemed the ’required knowledge’ of e-commerce, be it production-related or market-related information (Glazer, 1999), the paper focuses on the development of an Industrial-focused strategic Internet initiative. In an industry where the consulting dollars may be as high as the software dollars, the key concept of an industrial Internet strategy is in viewing information as an enterprise-wide, multi-tier communications asset (Hoske, 1999). The Industrial Internet reaches not only from the front office to the factory floor, but from the factory floor to an authorized lap top anywhere in the world. Although there is an abundance of importance being placed in recent literature on sales force automation (SFA) and customer relationship management (CRM) software, advances in factory supply chain management software and systems offerings may prove to be of a more highly critical value. For reemerging Asian industrialists, too much importance cannot be placed upon their propensity for assimilating vital industrial Internet technologies, and transforming the vicissitudes of e-commerce markets toward the fulfillment of their own competitive advantage.

The rapidly changing Asian economic, social, and technological environment presents both opportunities and problems. Healthcare organizations, in particular, face increasing pressures to contain costs while maintaining quality services. The increasing complexity of Asian nations necessitates organizations networking with others in related fields. This paper examines how an Asian voluntary welfare organization in Singapore adapted western management concepts about organizational primarily from Lewin (1975) and Senge (1994) to help implement a necessary development process. Senge (1994) helped to provide a strategy for change whilst Lewin (1975) helped in explicating the resisting forces and how these can be overcome. But most importantly, ongoing consultation with staff, managers and Board informed the ongoing dialectics which related theory to practice.

First, the paper discusses the process of change as it relates to Asian management accounting, which involves the profession undertaking three interrelated tasks: understanding the reality of its operating environment, deciding the kind of profession it wants to be, and adopting a set of value statements which will guide it in its change efforts. Next, the paper reviews the preparation gap in Asian management accounting, and suggests actions for closing the gap. Lastly, the paper examines the impact of a changing system of Asian values, capitalism, bosses and management practice on management accounting change, and suggests actions which the profession can take to speed up the change process.

Moreover, NPM draws heavily on recent developments in New Institutional Economics (NIE) and often prescribes competitive tendering, corporatisation, privatisation, outsourcing, etc. NPM may thus be described as an amalgam of managerialism and economics. But the question arises as to whether this marriage of ideas does indeed form a coherent body of thought. This paper examines the intellectual unity of NPM and especially its relationship to NIE.

A theoretical model which links this array of factors is presented and estimated through a structural equation modeling. Several factors are examined including people’s environmental attitudes, preferences for waste management and environmental policies, their participation in precycling and recycling behaviors and environmentally related political actions. Survey data were gathered from Washtenaw County, Michigan. Of the 1,022 delivered surveys, 488 completed surveys were returned, providing an overall response rate of 48 percent. Among the key findings, biospheric value shows a strong relationship with proenvironmental attitudes, further demonstrating direct linkages to the behavior dimensions except for recycling. Overall, willingness to vote for the ecologically oriented party is explained the most, and recycling behavior the least by respondents’ attitudes and socio-economic status.

With the goal of identifying the determinants of FCC’s telecommunications policy decisions that were made in favor of AT&T over other common carriers or public interest groups, this study seeks to test regulation theories regarding interest group power and the roles of political institutions. A logistic regression model characterizing the conditions under which the FCC actually adopted policy decisions in favor of or against AT&T’s interests was developed to understand the response of the FCC and assess the relative effects of interest groups and political institutions on the FCC’s 699 decision cases. The logit analysis shows that FCC policy making is significantly influenced by simultaneous modes of interest group power, coming from AT&T, other common carriers, and other public interest groups, and the roles of political institutions, including the federal agency itself, Congress, Presidents, and the courts.

Their failures and side effects contributed much to a negative sentiment towards the public administration. To prevent such policy failures, and hence, to enhance the credibility of Korea’s public administration, the governance system must be reformed. Considering the policy failures, a better reform model for Korea is not the New Public Management or the Entrepreneurial Government (which emphasizes mainly achieving public sector efficiency by using market competition), but the Good Governance Model, which emphasizes achieving public sector legitimacy and accountability by effective use of the rule of law and democratic control.

Many observers decry the lack of even such basic data as how many policy analysts work in sub-national government, on what subjects, and with what effect. This is true in many countries, for example, the U.S., Germany, and Canada, all federal systems with extensive sub-national governments but where what little empirical work exists focuses on government at the national level. In most cases, in justifying their observations and conclusions observers rely on only one or two quite dated works, on very partial survey results, or on anecdotal case studies and interview research. This article reports the findings of a 2008–2009 survey aimed specifically at examining the background and training of provincial policy analysts in Canada, the types of techniques they employ in their jobs, and what they do in their work on a day-by-day basis. The resulting profile of sub-national policy analysts presented here reveals several substantial differences between analysts working for national governments and their sub-national counterparts, with important implications for training and for the ability of nations to accomplish their long-term policy goals.

Abstract: The last two decades have witnessed the emergence of “performance-oriented management” (POM) as a major approach to public management reform in the United States. POM refers to management practices that share a common assumption that effective goal setting, and proper design and implementation of performance management systems are the key to high performance. Despite the prominence of POM in the practice of public management today, very little large-N empirical research has investigated the effectiveness of POM as a management reform strategy. This study seeks to fill this void by drawing on the Merit Principles Survey 2000 data to test whether POM actually ensures the results envisioned by its advocates. The regression results show that the two core elements of POM goal setting, and performance management design and implementation are positively associated with performance dimensions such as productivity and quality of work, providing support for the idea that POM can be a performance driver in governmental settings. This study also examines whether the effect of POM is mitigated by the presence of intensive external political influences as POM skeptics suggest. The results are mixed: the effect of goal setting on performance was found to be smaller in federal agencies with high political salience than in federal agencies with low political salience; on the other hand, the effect of performance management design and implementation was not significantly different across the two groups. Implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the issue of administrative reform and the research on governmental performance.

This study considered performance feedback as a partial mediating variable. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to examine the causal relationships among the variables in a structural model and to investigate construct validity and model fits in a measurement model. We found that a self-managing work team leads to performance improvements, but PDM failed to achieve an improvement in performance. Additionally, this study found that performance feedback played a partial mediating effect on the relationship between a self-managing work team and performance. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the findings.

In addition to natural disasters, terrorism has been recognized as another potential disaster in the United States since September 11, 2001. Local government is a first responder in all emergency situations, yet its resources and capacities to deal with these situations are restricted. To effectively respond to dangerous circumstances, local governments need to collaborate by exchanging information and resources with such parties as other local governments, private and nonprofit organizations, nonprofit organizations, and other levels of government. The concepts of coordination and collaboration have been embedded in many national emergency policies for disaster relief and homeland security in the U.S. This exploratory research empirically examines how threat climates are associated with various types of local government collaboration: vertical, horizontal, and cross-sectoral. It has been found that public managers’ perception of threats has a positive effect on collaboration among local governments, but that collaborative strategies vary by government characteristics.

But they have faced barriers to job retention in a tight labor market due to few skills, limited education, and lack of work experience, and have had difficulty in meeting the basic needs of their families. Using the analytic network process approach, this study examines the best policy for state governments to help former welfare recipients improve their economic situation and attain self-sufficiency. The additive synthesis finds that among four alternatives, assistance with supportive services is the best overall option to help people who have left welfare become economically self-sufficient, since it has the most benefits, the most opportunities, the lowest costs, and the fewest risks. This assistance must cover not only the needs of individuals, but also their families’ needs, in order to best help those who left welfare and faced barriers to finding and retaining employment make a better transition from welfare to work.

The debate over prison privatization finds itself amid public administration discourse as arguments revolve around fiscal accountability, public safety, and administrative ethics. This study looks at race and ethnicity as possible factors in the privatization of prisons, the significance of which is evident when reviewing incarceration figures for Blacks and Hispanics. U.S. Census social and economic data, along with Department of Justice data on corrections are used. Multiple regression results indicate that a state’s average cost of living and the proportion of Hispanics in its population are significant and robust predictors of prison privatization. There is some evidence supportive of the proportion of Blacks in a state°Øs population positively predicting the private prison population although further research is needed to verify this.

There is increasing concern that the complexity and multi-stakeholder nature of environmental issues demands further consensus-based frameworks to resolve conflicts. However, it is arguable whether the consensus-building approach works in reality. Given the long awaited democracy in South Korean modern history and the debate over the workability of consensus building, it is noteworthy to investigate the first social experiment to adopt deliberative mediation: The parties related to the Hantan River Dam case agreed to use mediation to resolve their conflict. We argue that the institutional scheme should take into account the social systems of which it is a part. Judging the results by the direct outcome criterion, the social experiment to resolve the Hantan River Dam conflict was not successful because the produced agreement was not implemented. This failure has been attributed to the influence of external politics, and representation and accountability problems. There were, however, intangible outcomes such as increased understanding of other parties’ interests, resolution of difficult technical issues, and improved relationships.

This paper attempts to shed some light on these issues. This paper first outlines the existing studies and current thinking on the nature and characteristics of an emerging cluster and its implications for regional competitive advantage. After theoretical explanations, it turns to the experiences of the Daegu medical cluster to explore the locational environment, obstacles, and policy demands of an emerging cluster. It then suggests alternative approaches to overcome the obstacles in the Daegu medical cluster according to the dimensions of regional environment, government policy, HEIs, and network brokerage.

This article reports on the research presented at a recent meeting of the American Society for Public Administration dealing with the challenges of global transformation as it relates to the practice of public administration. Three challenges to the state and public management are identified: innovation, reform, and reinvention; citizen competencies; privatization and competition. They conclude that the private sector needs to be educated about the capacities of the public sector and that a more concerted effort should be directed at building bridges between research and practice.

An argument is made that each of these metaphors distorts the nature of citizenship to some extent. Owner/investor metaphors are more appropriate nevertheless because of the meaning they confer on citizenship in relation to active/passive and individuals/community oriented dimensions and the use of voice or exit.

Broad goals of shared partnerships and collaborative relationships between citizens and public managers provide little direction for public administrators. This lack of direction causes frustration and confusion among citizens, public administrators and elected officials. This article reviews the literature on citizen participation and then recommends incremental steps that can be taken to achieve more meaningful public participation. The key factor to achieving more meaningful citizen participation is the presence of clearly articulated goals and objectives.

What should we do? Abstract: In spite of the fact that labor-management partnership is a backdrop for everything that is going on in governments at all levels, little has been discussed about how this labor-management tension occurs and how it could be overcome. This paper starts with an assumption that a harmonious labor-management relation is the key to achieving the goals of reinventing government at all levels. Based on group attribution theory, this paper seeks to examine what causes the labor-management tension and to suggest a way to achieve partnership by reducing the tension between labor and management.

These problems are examined in three stages: 1) learning from the history of the field; 2) learning from recent experience; and 3) learning new lessons. The goal of this analysis is to contribute to a more complete knowledge foundation that can allow us to develop more effective strategies to promote performance measurement utilization in public organizations.

The intransigent pattern of rhetoric that can emerge when these provoke “progressive” counterarguments is then considered. Cognitive dissonance theory is then drawn upon to explain why policy communities undergoing the imposition and institutionalization of a new policy paradigm are likely to experience conditions that are particularly conducive to the emergence of this pattern of rhetoric.

However, this “modernisation” project in public sector based on ideas stemming from the so called New Public Management (NPM), is facing several dilemmas to be implemented successfully. The main argument here is that in Mexico, the concepts of control and power are different from those embraced by countries that have generated the basic ideas of today’s managerial reforms (USA and Common-wealth countries). Following the track of an old Mexican institution, as old as at least Colonial times, patrimonialism, we can understand that the necessity of control of local or particular powers through a centralised one, and the permanent tension between these two, are the basic platform for individual and group behaviour.

In order to r.u such a paucity of literature and to develop reform strategies of the external control role of the assembly, the functional locus of the annual audit is analyzed. And it is found that it does not function as a public audit but as a simple extent of political activities of the legislature.

This finding supports the hypothesis that the size of local market and labor costs are the predominant determinants when foreign firms are considering an outward investment. Foreign firms seem to be attracted by the rapidly growing large market and the low-cost advantages, which stimulates them to move their establishments into this relatively cheap-labor country in order to gain a competitive edge.

A structural equation model was constructed with nine variables, and the LISREL method was employed in this analysis. The analysis results show that the variables such as environmental concern, knowledge of recycling, social norms and lifestyle intluenced the recycling behavior of public officials, while that of housewives was intluenced by the variables of age, income level, intrinsic satisfaction, waste treatment facilities, knowledge of recycling and lifestyle. In analyzing the results, the economic motive variable needed careful interpretation. And implications for recycling programs are discussed.

In most local governments, no formal process have been established in clarifying main players and participants in IT application. This paper deals with major obstacles to informatization of Korean local governments from an organizational perspective. It is concluded that current practices of public employees doing by intuition rather than by rules and routines, traditional perception of technical staff as low class, poorly specialized IT work-forces, lack of formal processes established regarding IT planning and implementation, and short-sighted vision of elected officials are the major factors hindering Korean local governments in realizing information technology benefits.

This paper utilizes event history analysis to determine the characteristics associated with the probability of state adoption of a rainy day fund between 1970 through 1995. We find that a state was more likely to adopt a RDF when its nearest largest neighbor had already adopted one. However, contrary to earlier studies, we found no association between the presence of a TEL or the amount of long-term outstanding debt on RDF adoption. As expected, states experiencing high revenue volatility were more likely to adopt a RDF.

This research employs a resource-based view and investigates how the management capacities of local governments influence the enactment of green economic strategies. Using data from the 2010 National Association of Counties survey, this study employs a structural equation model and tests the role of the management capacity of local government. The results suggest that financial investment by local government may not guarantee a direct effect on the enactment of green economic strategies. Rather, the management capacity of local government can mediate the effects of financial investment on the enactment of green economic strategies. In particular, the findings indicate that at the local government level, administrative capacities and the creation of special staff positions positively mediate the effects of financial investment on the enactment of green economic strategies.

We analyzed the primary database of the Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ) assessments. This study included a review of the relevant literature on meta-analysis techniques, and an overview of SACMEQ and gender issues in kindergarten (K)–12 in developing countries. The process of meta-analysis employed in this methodological study included searching, coding, calculation of effect sizes and their variances, weighting, confidence interval plots, Q test, funnel plots, and a discussion of results, implications, and future research. We found a small significant gender difference in mathematics in favor of boys and an insignificant gender difference in reading. Moreover, fertility rate was found to be an important predictor of gender gap in reading and math. Finally, we suggest a few implications for theoretical perspectives by connecting the key findings.

In line with this purpose, this study defined the concept of transportation justice through a literature review. To develop the indicators, first, principles or values related to transportation justice were identified via the literature review and focus-group interviews (FGIs). Second, preliminary indicators were collected based on the identified principles and values. Third, this study employed expert surveys and factor analysis to secure the objectivity of the preliminary indicators. Based on the factor analysis, the final version of the indicators included categories such as environmental friendliness, participation, safety and mobility. Environmental friendliness comprised ‘impact on the human body and the natural environment’ and ‘controlling and monitoring of air pollution.’ Participation consisted of ‘participation of and support for the mobility-impaired.’ Safety included ‘safety of the movement of humans and cargo’ and ‘safety in using transportation facilities.’ Mobility referred to ‘accessibility to green transportation’ and ‘accessibility and convenience for the mobility-impaired.’ These intermediate categories were also composed of related indicators. This study implies that the developed transportation justice indicators may provide a foundation to resolve conflicts during the process of making and implementing transportation policies.

In particular, this study analyzes the effects of three types of job stress – role overload, role ambiguity and bad physical environment – and two sources of social support – supervisor and coworker support. Regression analysis was performed using data from a survey of 619 police officers in Korea. The findings from the analysis are as follows. First, role ambiguity and bad physical environment are negatively related to job satisfaction. Second, social support has a direct effect on job satisfaction but has no moderating effect. Third, coworker support is more effective in enhancing job satisfaction than supervisor support.

However, there are very few studies on whether or how this discrimination affects the subjective well-being in Asia where the unequal treatment of women has been traditionally accepted. Our study examines whether perceived/experienced discrimination against women consistently influences two subjective kinds of well-being: job satisfaction and work engagement. It will consider how the impact varies according to different dimensions of discrimination, what kinds of moderators intervene to influence the effect on subjective well-being and how they do so. Empirical findings from three-wave panel data with a sample of 5987 female workers show the negative effects of discrimination on these two forms of subjective well-being.

There is a need for public administrators, political scientists and practitioners to empirically test the effectiveness of organizational policy typology to explore resource acquisition. This study investigates the relationship among the policy objectives, resource dependency and organizational structure of 79 US federal agencies. The regression results demonstrate that agency policy objectives affect resource dependency, formalization and specialization in federal agencies. The findings suggest that Lowi’s organizational typology can be a new variable that explains the inflow of financial resources and organizational structure.

Many studies have pointed out government size or welfare spending is negatively correlated to economic growth. Against this background, this article conducts empirical tests on welfare spending of 34 OECD countries for the period of 1996–2010. It shows that the impact of welfare spending on economic growth rate varies depending on its characteristics. Besides, countries with higher education and R&D spending and good governance display high economic growth rate despite large welfare spending. This finding suggests that welfare policy should be oriented in favor of investing in human capital and productivity and institutional reforms are important for the sustainability of welfare state.

Public administration has implicitly supported this idea since the advent of New Public Administration and the inclusion of ‘equity’ as a pillar of governance. Justice serves as the foundation for determining a utopian notion of social progress, wherein our administrative decisions focus on moving us away from conditions of cruelty toward a fairer alternative. This article develops a path for public administration to approach an idea of utopia based on the neopragmatist philosophy of Richard Rorty. It envisions policy decisions framed as a ‘flipped’ hypothesis test, where the alternative hypothesis is the condition of cruelty we are currently experiencing and the null hypothesis is the policy aimed to alleviate conditions of cruelty and facilitate social progress.

Researchers have tried to understand and suggest methods to control it from different perspectives. Improving government transparency and responsibility through citizen participation has often been suggested as a solution. The development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) over the past two decades has brought great changes to citizen participation and has lead to the rise of e-participation. Digital tools enable citizens to participate in a more efficient and convenient way. Could e-participation play a significant role in anti-corruption policy? Controlling for the impacts of economy, democracy, education, economic openness, government system, party system, gender, and population at the national level, this study confirms that e-participation has a significant influence on the perception of corruption at the national level. Countries with better e-participation have lower levels of corruption. Consistent with previous studies, the impacts of economy, democracy, economic openness, government system, and party system on corruption are also supported by this study.

From the perspective of public administration, this study investigates the judicial review of administrative actions in Korea by looking into its performance under the separation of powers and double-court system. Because the 1984 Chevron decision, a landmark of US judicial deference, highlighted the relation between administration and legislature, its principle has some applicability to Korean judicial review in resolving recently developed president-legislature conflict. The decision promulgates a two-step criterion for administrative discretion, which asks whether the legislative intent is clear and then whether the delegated discretion is ‘reasonable’. It may encourage administrators to change in three ways: to break up the doctrine of stare decisis, to engage in ethical discourse over constitutional values, and to play the role of guardians of the Constitution.

Trust in government is examined as the mediating variable, and economic evaluation as the dependent variable. Employing a structural equation model (SEM) and multi-group analysis, this article investigates the characteristic differences between two sets of two groups: OECD members and non-OECD members, and urban and rural areas. The results of multi-group analysis suggest, first, that the factors affecting public trust in government differ among groups with different social and economic backgrounds. Second, quality of governance positively affects public trust in government with different levels of values. Third, citizenship positively impacts public trust in government. This research extends the methodological perspective to analyze the mediating effects of public trust in government on economic evaluation within multi-group dimensions. This enables us to point out the common and differing attributes among groups while investigating parameters. The results from such an empirically strict approach to discover those effects can contribute to the academic literature.

Based on the literature review, we develop hypotheses about how public servants’ cognitions about publicness, government control, and OCBs are interrelated. To test our hypotheses, we collected data using surveys of both Korean and Japanese public subway companies. The findings indicate that the publicness of subway companies affects OCB within an organization, such as altruism, courteous behavior, sportsmanship, conscientious behavior, civic virtue, and preference for public interest. By using the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach, this study confirms that publicness influences OCB not only directly but also through government control. Studies on organizational publicness in Asian countries can provide policy implications for government control of public organizations and the promotion of OCB.

Based on the survey data from 336 public officials who hired based on the TM program, we have found that perceived hard HM practices are negatively related with turnover intention while there is no relation between soft HM practice and intention to leave the organization. Employee engagement (EE) fully mediates the relationship between perceived hard TM practices and turnover intention, and partially mediates the relationship between perceived person-environment (PE) fit and turnover intention. The study suggests that public organizations in Danang city should focus on hard TM practices and the congruence of individual with work environment, particularly with organization and job, to retain their talents.

The pressure for performance accountability prompts organizational change, development, and puts emphasis on the evaluation of achievements. This article analyzes the results of organizational change in a nonprofit human service agency to address the quandaries of nonprofit performance accountability. The results indicate that the various change interventions generally improved agency performance. However, the sustainability of improved performance is thwarted by complex accountability relationships which tend to create tension. It is claimed that overreliance on any one set of accountability relationship leaves other sets of accountability relationships vulnerable to negative organizational outcomes.

Abstract: I. Globalization encourages a New Political Culture (NPC), stressing individualism, egalitarianism, and new modes of governance and public adminstration.II. Consumption and amenities rise in salience to individual citizens and political leaders--with more income, education, and the NPC. Culture and tourism are key parts of this transformation.III. What makes culture magical? Scenes. Culture comes packaged with more: buildings, restaurants, and an audience; a performance can resonate only if it connects to values and concerns of the audience. We sketch 12 types of scenes like Disney Heaven and Bohemia, then 15 dimensions for interpreting like traditionalism, egalitarianism, etc.IV. How to make culture magical? By constructing integrated components of culture and tourism. How? Collect data on many dimensions of consumption (restaurants, types of nearby shops, crime rates, and more). Codify these into types like Disney Heaven or Bohemia. Then calibrate attractive powers of each type of scene and dimension for different types of tourists or residents. To implement this program, we have developed a large data base of 40,000 US zip codes and are working with others internationally along parallel lines (in France, Italy, Britain, Germany, Japan, and Korea). This policy-linked analysis tool is more powerful than most past tourism and culture studies.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the urban industrial structure and the changes in regional growth from 1999–2003 using a growth rate differential analysis. Growth rate differential ratio (GRDA) has revised shift share analysis and consists of two parts: weight (MIR) and rate (SRR). The results of the analysis show the following. First, 77 of 78 urban areas have advantageous industrial structures compared to those of other regions, but are shown to be very weak in the area of rate (SRR). Second, there is a growth disparity between metropolitan areas and non-metropolitan areas. Third, there is no correlation between the most rapidly grown industry in a city and the strategic industry that is intensively fostered in the city.

For measuring the possible effect by the employment growth of a whole region (not within ahigh-technology industry), ahigh-technology industry is considered as a part of the export sector based on an economic base theory. Among several possible variations associated with the contributions of the high-technology industry, this study focuses on the region’s size on the grounds that the formation of multiplier effects depends on the scope and the scale of a region. Empirical results show that the high-technology industry generates a statistically significant and positive influence on employment growth in the whole region. Although it is weakly significant, this type of influence is unevenly distributed among different-sized cities. In particular, the influence tends to be substantially weak in medium-large cities.

This article investigates how American state administrator’s perceptions of the national government are shaped in American state-national relationships. The research question addressed is what factors contribute to state administrators’ perceptions of national regulatory influences on state governments. Data from the 2004 American State Administrators Project surveys are used to measure state administrators’ perceptions of national regulatory influences. A structural equation model was employed to test several hypotheses. It is found that political partisanship, formal position, agency dependency on federal aid, and the amount of federal land in each state played significant roles as determinants of the attitudes of state administrators toward national government regulatory (or coercive) actions.

In some metropolitan areas local governments have collectively developed a metropolitan civil society to combine the metropolis across multiple jurisdictions and to constitute the provision side of a local public economy. The new and innovative concept, “new regionalism” achieves these goals of promoting regional action through “governance,” which is defined as the use of inter-governmental collaboration rather than hierarchical regional government in order to resolve area-wide public issues. Although complexity of metropolitan areas induces local jurisdictions to be engaged in collaborative strategy, it is only a necessary condition for interlocal collaboration. Whom they decide to choose as a cooperation partners is another part of the story. Based on agent-based model the “landscape theory” by Axelrod provides a general theoretical background to predict aggregation pattern by putting highly compatible components together and less compatible components apart in social sciences. This “landscape theory” is applied to explain why regional development partnership alliances among local governments are successful in some metropolitan areas but not in others.

This study argues that information about the level of moral reasoning of public administrators does not explain how to achieve ethical behavior in organizations. Knowing determinants of moral reasoning by public servants is helpful to encourage ethical behaviors. Although some research on moral reasoning exists, it generally focuses on the level of moral reasoning according to gender, race, education, age, and responsibility. The article concludes that the main factors influencing the moral reasoning by public employees are the length of service, grade, compassion, self-sacrifice, obedience to authority, and responsibility for consequences.

Using survey data gathered from 204 American cities, the study investigates three institutional aspects: regulative, normative, and cultural-cognitive aspects of institutions. The empirical analyses found support the hypotheses regarding the normative and cultural-cognitive aspects of institutions. Professional networks were significantly positively related to the likelihood of using self-managed work teams in the city. Likewise, the belief shared in service quality management by city employees was significantly positively related to the likelihood of using self-managed work teams in the city.

Abstract: Since the federal welfare reform caseloads have been on a downward trend in the U.S. and there exist substantial debate on the causes for the decline. As a case study on New York State, this study analyzes what has explained welfare caseload decline since welfare reform. This study employs an ARIMA model with intervention analysis using the gross state product as an economic force that reflects labor demand and supply, and policy intervention variables to determine which of the welfare reform and strengthened economy explains the welfare caseload reduction. This study concludes that welfare caseload decline in New York State is attributed to the programmatic changes of welfare reform and the state economy has not explained the decline. Local employment growth that results from economic growth has not affected exit rates from welfare and has not reflected the availability of jobs to welfare recipients. Rather, welfare recipients left welfare due to stringent work requirements and time-limited benefits.

For the aim, this article debated the theories on the developmental state and its selective affinity with authoritarian politics in East Asian countries. The progress and performance of the Korean ADS under the 1970s Park government was also explored. As a main section, this article empirically traced the strategies or tools that Korea employed in the 1970s to consolidate the ADS, by employing the following variables: environmental context, state bureaucracy and a pilot agency, state autonomy, politics of mobilization, political leadership, politics of control (constraints and inducements), and developmental strategy.

To control for individual heterogeneity the paper compares the employment rates of women who enter prison to employment rates of future prison entrants. Although employment rates tend to decline during the quarters leading up to prison entry, it does not appear to harm future employment prospects. In the short-term, it is estimated that female post-prison employment rates are about seven to eight percentage points above expected levels. These results show that female incarceration is not associated with an undesirable signal that will diminish the future employability of former inmates.

The exploration is to investigate the learning process of the organizations and to identify the critical factors that facilitate and prohibit learning and ensuing change. This case study of San Francisquito Creek watershed management shows that information search and exchange activities of individual actors in the system lead to the learning of shared nature of problems and have them change the pattern of interaction and build shared understanding about managing watersheds. The change to collective action through information exchange is an essential part of maintaining the sustainability of the watershed and of generating collective action of individual actors.

This study conducts a comprehensive review of the factors that impact public borrowing costs in municipal bond issuances and tries to find other “costless signaling.” One way to improve the performance of public agencies is to improve online fiscal disclosure, which could lower the public borrowing cost. This study evaluates the effects of two forms of online fiscal disclosure: online budget reports and online Comprehensive Annual Fiscal Reports (CAFRs). The empirical estimates show that in a sample of state general obligation bonds, online budget reports have a statistically significant effect on the cost of municipal bond issuances, while online CAFRs do not have such an effect.

However, none has studied the interaction effect among these factors. This study seeks to fill this research gap. It argues that the utilization of interactive engagement mechanisms and political environment will have direct impact on the level of citizen participation in budgeting. These relationships are then moderated by municipal managers’ intention to incorporate citizens. Data from a survey of New Jersey municipal administrators were used to test the hypotheses, with controlling for demographic variables in seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) models.

Five methods of financing the transition are investigated using a policy model—payroll increase, government subsidy, benefit cuts, Trust Fund conversion into Pension Fund, faster exhaustion of the Trust Fund—all having the same end result of a 3.12% payroll tax under the privatized, fully funded scheme, replacing the 13%–17% payroll tax under the current system. Yet, the magnitude of the burden of transition costs differs depending on which of the five is used. Using the equity concern inspired by John Rawls’ principle of justice, this paper combines the five aforementioned methods to minimize the burden on the transitional generation. From simulation results under the assumptions of specific parametric values projected by the Social Security Administration, this paper concludes that people who lose from the transition can be limited to those of age 44 to 65, with minimal welfare loss.

The research focus is on the challenge of physical complexity, the characteristics of institutions, and organization conditions that should be overcome by good organizational performance. Using event history analysis, this study tests whether these structural conditions are managed in a manner that is sufficiently integrated and sophisticated at the institutional level. The major findings of this study are as follows. The vulnerability of utilities increases as the size of power systems increases. Vulnerable utilities are located in the reliability regions where strict contractual penalties are not applied, where emergency plans are not as complex as the complex systems, or where regulatory relationships with federal and state governments are weak. These utilities have higher summer peaks per customer, face more electric power losses than others, or invest less in facilities and technologies.

This study aims to provide an understanding of public employees’ intention to share knowledge using knowledge management system by adopting existing intention-based models, the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the technology acceptance model (TAM). The original TPB, modified TPB, original TAM, and modified TAM were empirically examined and compared using employee data collected from five public organizations. The structural equation modeling results revealed that all four models performed well in terms of fit and were roughly equivalent in terms of their ability to predict intention. The authors offer several implications based on the findings.

Abstract: This paper addresses the urbanization of Ulaanbaatar (UB) city in Mongolia by examining ger areas that have experienced unprecedented expansion during the past two decades due to rural-to-urban migration. Regardless of drastic urbanization in UB, ger continue to sprawl out into the suburbs. This article attempts to discover some unique characteristics of urbanization in Ulaanbaatar city while focusing on ger area issues. The urbanization in UB is approached by focusing on three main issues of ger areas: socio-economic situation, infrastructure provision, and environmental pollution. Together, these issues construct a research framework for this paper. The results of this study imply that ger area need to be considered as historically unique assets embedded in Mongolia as well as urban squats in need of redevelopment.

There is little systematic research that examines the extent of collaborative governance, in particular, that between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state governments. This article examines what factors influence the adoption of Performance Partnership Agreements (PPAs), considered as collaborative governance between the EPA and state governments. This study uses a logit model, applying an Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework, which explains the outcome in the process of how rule-in-use, community interests, and physical, social, and economic characteristics affect the values of the predictors characterizing action arenas, which, in turn, lead to different outcomes. This study found that for rule-in-use, social capital as an informal institution is positively related to the adoption of PPAs. For community interests, the strength of environmental interest group(s) (e.g., white population) influences the adoption of PPAs. The empirical findings of this study are meaningful to understand collaborative governance between the EPA and state governments through an IAD framework, showing that various institutional arrangements, community interests, and physical and social variables affect the adoption of PPAs in terms of collaborative governance.

Both the New Public Management and democratizing reforms have tended to place the permanent civil service in a less central role in governing. That trend is, however, being reversed as the need for more coordinated forms of governing and the ability of elected politicians to exert their own priorities over government is moving the civil service back to playing a crucial role in governing.

This article provides a preliminary answer to this question using data from the 50 state governments. Research considering the influence of public sector unions on public sector outcomes typically operationalizes unionization as bivariate, which greatly understates the complexity of the relationships. Furthermore, labor relations research often fails to consider the human resources management systems in which labor relations operates. Considering the effects of labor relations and human resource management policies together on intermediate outcomes such as quality of hires, turnover, and tenure begins to provide a more complete picture of the workforce management system, and provides a roadmap for future research which can be informative for both the public and private sectors.

To this end, this study explored the reasons why the Roh government emphasized “principle and trust” in the pursuit of innovation. Then this paper looked into the reform of the National Tax Service to see if greater participation and transparency have had a positive impact in enhancing trust in government. It is found that participation and transparency have a positive impact on the level of trust in government, and a strong will and courage on the part of the president or heads of organizations are vital in improving trust in government.

Fundamental questions related to land use regulation have received different answers through the years. These questions are the counterpart of broader questions with philosophical and practical implications for a society. We discuss the basic dilemma that public administration faces regarding the regulation of land use. We examine how four perspectives – the liberal-judicial view, expert definition of public interest view, economic view, and social values as public interest – help scholars understand land use regulation in America. One theoretical model that could integrate the main ideas of these normative perspectives is the idea of urban field, which deals with the complexity of forces that are related to the idea of urban field.

The method was chosen to more clearly understand the opinions of Korean-American residents about their own “quality of life,” by drawing out ideas of quality of life in the Seattle area from among the entire population. The results of this study were as follows. First, Korean Americans living in the Seattle area have a generally high quality of life. Second, Korean-Americans’ quality of life is ranked just below white Caucasians. Third, the Korean-American community and network is strong. Fourth, among the main factors influencing quality of life, Korean-Americans counted social welfare, citizen participation, transportation and housing affordability high on their list, while white/Caucasian and Asian-American/others ranked health as an important factor.

However, surprisingly little empirical research has been conducted on this phenomenon. In order to bridge this knowledge gap, this study compares “within the nonprofit sector collaboration patterns” with “cross-sector collaboration patterns” from a network perspective. This study adopts a blockmodel that is useful for reducing complex networks into concise and easily understandable forms. Using a survey of 33 nonprofit organizations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this study uncovers the hidden patterns of collaboration. First, this study provides empirical evidence that when nonprofits collaborate with other sector organizations, boundaries blur and new network structures replace the existing network structures that are composed exclusively of nonprofits. Second, when nonprofits collaborate with other sector organizations, some nonprofits become strategically significant in that they play a coordinating role between other nonprofits and business/public organizations.

Assuming that the relationship between government and nonprofits would exert much influence on the formation frequency of nonprofits, this study intends to describe the relationship between them according to the change in frequency of nonprofit formation. This study considers the perspective of the dual relationship between local government and local nonprofits, and presents some different explanations for understanding the growth of the Korean nonprofit sector. Empirically, government expenditure, including nonprofit and social development subsidies, is regarded as an important factor in explaining the relationship between government and nonprofits, and panel data of government expenditure of 16 local administrations and the formation frequency of the corresponding regional nonprofits are utilized for statistical analysis. Results reveal that government subsidy turns out to exert positive effects on the formation of new nonprofits. On the other hand, government social expenditure shows negative effects on the formation of new nonprofits. According to the results of this study, it can be argued that Korean nonprofit sector development has depended in large part on the political relationship with local governments, represented by the government subsidy. In addition, concerning the delivery of public services, Korean nonprofits seem to have a supplementary relationship with local government rather than a complementary one in their growth.

Assistance can take several different forms, including cash and in-kind assistance, which has given rise to vigorous debate in both theoretical and empirical literature. A significant policy question revolves around the relative merits of cash versus in-kind assistance. Using as an illuminating “case study” the emergency assistance programs employed in Aceh, Indonesia as part of the relief program to help combat the devastating the 2004 tsunami, this paper considers the arguments surrounding the comparative advantages of cash and in-kind assistance. It is argued that while existing empirical evidence is insufficient to draw categorical conclusions on the comparative merits of cash and in-kind disaster assistance methods in developing countries, available evidence from Aceh suggests that cash and in-kind assistance are complementary rather than competing methods of delivering assistance.

This becomes an ever-increasing challenge for organizations as they fight to stay competitive in a global market and learn to effectively manage an increasingly multicultural workforce. This research uses non-panel longitudinal data from the International Social Survey Program (Work Orientations I and II 1989, and 1997) to conduct a comparative analysis of job quality and job satisfaction, in order to examine the impact of various job characteristics and dimensions of job quality on job satisfaction over time and across countries. Finally, I will provide a discussion of policy implications important to public HR administrators who wish to attract top-notch workers and more effectively manage an increasingly multicultural workforce.

In doing so it acknowledges contending models and labels, competing empirical approaches, and conflicting representations and definitions of the voluntary action at the heart of existing studies. The essay provides a brief critique of the dominant American model that stresses the demography and management of nonprofit organizations. We note the model’s potential limitations for studying voluntary organizing in developing countries and provide a cautious introduction to the civil society implications of “third way” models of governance, an approach introduced primarily from Europe. The essay concludes by introducing the four empirical studies that comprise the exploration of “third ways” from a variety of international contexts.

Based on case studies of two community-based organizations, we find that in both the advocacy-oriented and service-oriented organizations, the board focuses on fundraising and program development. Yet this seemingly similar focus results from different environmental conditions: facing unfavorable institutional and resource environments, the board of the advocacy organization is pressured to take a more proactive and rigorous role for the sake of survival. In contrast, the board of the service organization, with significant support from the government, is committed to expanding the organization. Our findings thus raise concerns about whether Chinese nonprofit organizations are an effective “third way” to address public problems.

Author-X-Name-Last: Magno Title: A “Third Way” in The Philippines Abstract: This study illuminates the role of civil society actors in advocating for and helping implement The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010. We illustrate how these actors served as both bottom-up and top-down brokers and translators in communicating ideas and action between vulnerable communities they represent and policy actors in the Philippine national government. We situate their actions within the Philippines’ unique historical, cultural, political, and socio-economic context, noting the significance of their policy entrepreneurship by comparison to conditions a mere 25 years earlier, when the Marcos Regime would have hunted down and killed them for their activism. We conclude with observations about important contributions that the disaster risk reduction paradigm makes to development theory, and assert the importance of political and social goals, that are often drowned out by the dominant role that economics and ownership models hold in some Western conceptions of voluntary organizing.

During the past two decades nonprofit organizations in Korea have developed faster than those in other countries and became core players to substantially influence Korean society. Korean nonprofit organizations have traditionally emphasized an advocacy role in promoting human rights and democracy and checking and safeguarding against the abusive powers of government and big business. Compared with Western countries’ nonprofits, Korean nonprofit organizations have a short history and distinctive historical and cultural experiences and contexts. This paper argues that, to better understand challenges and opportunities faced by the nonprofit organizations in a country, we need to review the historical and cultural contexts from which the nonprofit organizations in the country emerge, rather than apply definitions and conceptions about Western nonprofits unreflectively to other societies, such as Korea.

A framework was developed from existing literature to test the explanatory power of competing theories about the presence of nonprofits. The cross-national framework of this study is intended to explore the explanatory power of existing models for settings other than the national culture in which most of them were created. The analysis revealed a number of detailed findings about socioeconomic and institutional determinants of nonprofit service provision. In general, theories that emphasize demand-side or “need” explanations for nonprofits were less well supported than supply-side and institutional theories. The article concludes with recommendations for future cross-national studies of nonprofit activities.

This study finds that the productivity of community hospitals in Colorado increased over the period 1993–2003, mainly as a result of technical progressive changes rather than technical efficiency improvement. The results suggest that to increase productivity, large community hospitals, rural hospitals, and nonprofit and public hospitals need to downsize their facilities, change their cost structure and facility operations, or adopt new management practices.

In the competitive environment, on the other hand, local actors attempt to collaborate with others in order to efficiently secure scarce resources and to maximize their own interests through collaboration. While previous research has normatively discussed collaboration or focused on the factors influencing policy networks among local jurisdictions, there have been few studies empirically investigating policy actors’ behavior in the collaborative network sphere. This study tested network hypotheses regarding coordination and cooperation depending on the risk preference of local governments: how institutional actors make strategic decisions depending on the situation that they face, in order to resolve collective action problems. This study found that while local governments coordinate with other governments for simple information exchange, they are likely to commit to partnerships through creating tightly-clustered network structures to reduce uncertainty and risk of defection in contracts. In this study of the Tampa Bay metropolitan area, in particular, cooperative network structures are more likely than coordinating network structures to occur in the economic development policy arena. In addition, this study found that local jurisdictions are more likely to collaborate with those that belong to the same county.

Abstract: The main goal of this research is to examine under what conditions Colorado counties implement growth management policy. Many local jurisdictions in states have intended to reduce the adverse effects of growth—damage to wetlands, farmlands, and forests—and to conserve urban environments. By the early 2000s, several states had enacted growth management legislation to create a balance between environmental conservation and economic development. Unlike those states, Colorado does not have a state-wide growth management act. Colorado has focused on a strong tradition of local government control with respect to growth management policy. Growth management policy tools such as development impact fees and zoning are locally designated. That is, the growth management policy of counties and municipalities in Colorado is free from control by the state. Because of this characteristic, Colorado is a good case for research about growth management policy of local governments. The research empirically explicates the implementation of growth management policy at the county level. The study employs a logistic regression model and demonstrates that wealthy counties prefer pro-environmentalism to anti-environmentalism, while poor counties and homeowners in Colorado do not support the implementation of growth management policy.

Considering the limitations of the approaches to trust development, we investigate which factors affect the level of volunteers’ social trust. The results of the analysis showed that volunteers’ satisfaction with volunteer activities and recognition of their contributions have positive effects on the levels of their trust in people in general and in volunteer, local, and governmental organizations. This implies that the quality and characteristics of relationships are regarded as the most important factor in the creation and promotion of social trust. It is imperative that social institutions and the volunteer sector use these implications to promote social trust among volunteers.

It also provides insights for researchers to pay attention to the role of labor unions to enhance employers’ compliance with labor regulations. This study sheds light on the necessity of approaching regulatory compliance structurally from the internal labor market (ILM) perspective; the fact that the influence of labor unions is strongly shown in enterprises with stronger ILM suggests what to tackle in the Korean context to boost the positive role of labor unions.

Results indicate that child-care usage patterns vary across households by parental nativity as well as by immigrant generational status. That is, immigrants are less likely to use nonparental care than natives. Among immigrants who use nonparental care, first-generation immigrant children were more likely to be placed in nonrelative care or activities, while second-generation immigrant children were more likely to be cared for by relatives. In terms of the time use pattern of youths in such nonparental care settings, second-generation immigrants were less likely to play sports and more likely to watch television or listen to music than natives. Lastly, the study found significant moderation effects of maternal employment status on the association between parental nativity and the type of child care used.

The authors analyzed the impact of participation in international environmental cooperation on the environmental Kuznets curve through Generalized Least Squares estimation of the two-way fixed-effects model. Data are organized in the form of a pooled time series in which information is collected annually on 148 nation-states from 1997 to 2011. Our hypothesis tested whether participating in international environmental cooperation would increase the effect of economic development on environmental improvement. The analysis confirmed that prior to reaching the environmental turning point, participation in international environmental cooperation improves environmental quality. However, international environmental cooperation had no effects after achieving a certain level of economic development. The paper argues that this is due to the flexible nature of international environmental cooperation.

The data cover 30 years and are analyzed using panel data analysis. The findings show that taxable consumption value, the number of interstate highways, the charter, and the form of government are associated with a greater degree of revenue diversification. Taxable property value, the presence of a metropolitan statistical area, the proportion of homeownership, the proportion of Democrat voters, income, and property tax millage rate are negatively associated with revenue diversification.

It argues that the scheme has a negative impact on the sector in that it limits the country’s competitiveness in agricultural exports due to the government’s prices, which are set a great deal above the market prices. Examining the effect of a rice pledging scheme on rice exports in Thailand, the paper finds that the effectiveness of a short-term subsidy program has contributed to a decline in rice export volumes. Appealing to rural voters, the government procures paddy rice from farmers at high prices. The paper proposes that the government should not intervene in the agricultural commodity market via a populist program because it does not encourage the development of the sector in the long run. Instead of intervening in the market, the government should implement market-oriented policy in order to expand the country’s agricultural trade.

A basic resource for promoting Development Aid (DA) policy is support from the public. However, there are very few systematic analyses about determinants of Europeans’ attitudes toward DA. Based on the survey data and the multilevel analysis, our study aims to examine how the independent variables i.e., life satisfaction, knowledge, awareness, policy efficacy, and trust at the individual level, and post-materialism, ideology, religiosity, and GDP per capita at the country level – influence the attitude toward DA, such as personal values toward development aid, willingness to pay (WTP), support for budgetary spending on DA, and support for DA as a policy priority. Our study shows that knowledge, policy efficacy, and trust at the individual level consistently influence the four attitudes. At the country level, right-wing ideology has a negative impact on support for budgetary spending on DA and support for DA as a policy priority. GDP per capita has a positive impact on WTP.

Drawing on the literature concerning policy design and the theory of planned behavior, as well as the literature on expectation, attitude, and satisfaction, we propose that target groups’ intentions to participate in the program depend highly on their evaluations of the policy design, as well as motivational factors, such as attitude toward the behavior. The data used in this study were collected from 659 Korean teaching artists. The findings indicate that the level of intention to participate in the program increases as individuals strongly agree with the program rationale, expect positive educational effects, and perceive that it will be beneficial to the individual.

Comparing the impacts of pay-for-performance in the public and private sectors Abstract: Does money make people happy? Empirical studies have investigated how personal income influences happiness, but the relationship between pay-for-performance (PFP) and happiness remains unknown. To address this gap, we examine the impact of PFP on worker happiness. In particular, we compare the impact between the public and private sectors, because scholars argue that PFP in the public sector often fails to deliver its intended benefits. Using data from the 2002 and 2006 General Social Surveys (GSS), we find that PFP only enhances worker happiness in the private sector, not the public sector. We also find that PFP is negatively related to the perceived relatedness and perceived organizational effectiveness in the public sector.

The findings suggest that both transactional and transformational leadership behaviors and employee trust in leaders are positively related to employee job satisfaction. Also, while trust marginally mediates the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership and job satisfaction, it plays a more significant role in the relationship between individualized consideration and job satisfaction. Further, the study finds that transformational leadership and individualized consideration have a significantly larger positive impact on satisfaction compared to transactional leadership. Thus, the study suggests that public organizations, especially those managed by transactional leaders, need to focus on developing the transformational and individualized consideration leadership competencies of their leaders to build a more satisfied and productive workforce for serving the public.

The study relies mainly on in-depth interviews of key stakeholders in 2016 and is complemented by observations in 2013–2014 to generate relevant data for analysis and interpretation. Findings point to the Grantee’s essential role in allocation priorities, stakeholders’ capacity building, conflict resolution, strategic engagement and planning, contracts with a network of providers, and attendant execution and performance measures. The study highlights the Grantee’s pivotal role in the convergence of community and county administration in collaborative governance toward purposeful ends with collective impact on some vulnerable segments of the population. The study also exemplifies a rare case of public policy addressing a public problem consistently over the years despite some resource challenges.

An analysis of intergenerational differences in the willingness to pay for child welfare services and welfare services for the elderly in Korea Abstract: Do intergenerational conflicts exist across welfare service provision between old and young generations? By using multinomial logit regression on citizens’ willingness to pay for elderly and child welfare services, the authors confirm that older generations prefer services that directly benefit themselves but find little evidence that older generations are less willing to pay additional taxes to fund child welfare services. This paper emphasizes interdependence in welfare service areas and urges the government to improve the capacity to deliver welfare services effectively.

Abstract: The question addressed in this research is: Does a higher level of government risk communication regarding the location policy of risk facilities increase the public’s trust in the government and reduce risk perception? Based on a theoretical discussion, this study subdivided risk communication into participation, deliberation, and information transparency. The effects of each on government trust and risk perception were analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM). The results showed that guaranteeing various stakeholders’ participation and their roles in regard to the policy for locating high-risk facilities improved trust in the government, and thereby decreased risk perception. Second, the process of deliberation improved trust in the government as the administrator of risk management and effectively decreased negative risk perception. Third, providing transparency and sufficient information to the public did not have a statistically significant effect on government trust, but reduced risk perception.

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the determinants of citizens’ preferences for policy instruments. In particular, this study examines the impacts of social trust, government capacity, and the state-society relationship on citizens’ preferences for policy instruments. To test the relationships among those variables, the study utilizes data from the ISSP (International Social Survey Program) Environmental III 2010, which includes 32 countries. The results show that regardless of policy target groups, social trust makes citizens prefer market-based policy instruments most, and a high level of government capacity leads citizens to favor indirect policy instruments over regulation. The influence of the state-society relationship is contingent on the social construction of the policy target groups except in the case of East Asian countries, which have a strong preference for suasive policy instruments.

Consequently, the neoclassicists’ pessimism and predictions of the demise of the state in less-developed countries seems puzzling. Attempting an epochal understanding of the forms of state with a view to determining the appropriateness of the call to abolish the state, this paper, submits that all forms of state that forsake public interest are bound to experience vehement opposition and that whatever trial the state is undergoing is not new. It insists that rather than wish away the state because of poor performance, the operators of the state, whose corrupt and exploitative orientation determines the character of the prevailing state, should be the subject of critical analysis, with an aim towards reprofiling the Nigerian state to obtain a result that will most favorably replicate the outstanding developmental results recorded elsewhere.

Abstract: The principal objective of this article was to determine how volunteers’ activities are influenced by the expressed recognition of and reward for their contributions. Data were gathered from 248 volunteer centers throughout the Republic of Korea, and a total of 705 cases were analyzed. The analysis results reveal that “occasional” recognition can prove more helpful in maintaining the satisfaction with and continuity of volunteer activities than “absent” or “excessive” recognition.

In particular, this study examined the roles of fairness of performance evaluation, organizational resources, and leader/managerial engagement. The results suggest that fairness of performance evaluation and leader/managerial engagement can be important factors in directly enhancing employees’ perceived performance. Organizational resources were also found to indirectly improve employees’ perceived performance by enhancing the fairness of performance evaluations. The results are expected to help public managers understand how performance management systems can be developed in government organizations.

It also demonstrates the utility of the Institutional Collective Action (IAC) framework by identifying how it can be applied to the choice of options for affordable housing production. The findings of this study show that the option chosen by a local government for affordable housing production depends on property value of affordable housing and the capacity of local government, rather than local government’s social responsibility and the community’s economic condition. This study also demonstrates that transaction costs incurred due to land regulations can substantially influence the adoption of options for affordable housing production. Finally, one of the important findings is that networks between regional cooperative agencies and local governments can promote a rehabilitation option for affordable housing production. This result suggests that local governments need to actively take advantage of coordination with regional agencies to successfully promote affordable housing production.

Specifically, how do the effects of government size on economic growth in two groups of countries differ? In contrast to previous studies, this one attempts to gauge the relative effect of government size on economic growth by using a united regression model combining advanced and developing countries, as well as the same control variables. As theoretically expected, this study demonstrates that the effect of government size on economic growth is positive for developed countries and negative for advanced countries. Furthermore, the model confirms that the relative effect of government size on economic growth in developing countries is almost five times higher than in advanced ones. Another purpose of this study is to estimate the impact of government size on the unemployment rate in two groups of countries. The evidence from the regression results shows that greater government size is associated with a higher unemployment rate in both groups of countries. The study demonstrates that a larger government has a detrimental effect on economic growth, due, at least in part, to a higher unemployment rate. In addition, the model confirms that the relative effect of government size on the unemployment rate in developing countries is almost three times higher than in advanced countries. Finally, based on the result that government size has significantly different effects on economic growth and the unemployment rate across two groups of countries, this study implies that policy makers need to consider different levels and types of fiscal policies to improve economic growth depending on the country’s economic level.

I also examine the main factors manipulating the economy to determine if there is evidence of a political business cycle. The period covered by the research is from 1963 to 2002 and IFS data were used to guarantee the neutrality and objectivity of the analysis. I analyzed the relationship between various macroeconomic variables and presidential and National Assembly elections. I checked on the existence and magnitude of the political business cycle in three different time spans using quarterly data: the whole period (1963–2002), before democratization (1963–1986), and after democratization (1987–2002). I found some evidence of a PBC related to presidential elections after Korea was democratized. Money supply (monetary base) was used to boost the economy before elections. I could not find any significant evidence of a PBC related to National Assembly elections.

This essay examines the implementation of strategic plans in Yogyakarta Special Province (YSP). The visions and missions of the YSP are investigated as a basis of analysis. Using qualitative data and a case study method, the research also conducted in-depth interviews with bureaucrats in YSP. First, YSP attempted to provide the strategic plans to be followed by government officers in their activities according to strategic design and planning school approaches. Second, most local government agencies have poor understanding of their visions and missions. Third, because of the zero-sum game effect, it was difficult to attain the goals and missions. Fourth, the strategic plan has been implemented but not properly executed in the strategic zone, nor did it support the reaching of its missions.

Drawing on the existing literature on the nature and impact of globalization, I develop a typology of national responses to globalization. Using the typology, I examine the case of Korea and observe that successive Korean governments over the past few decades have all pursued a “bandwagoning” strategy, putting too much emphasis on accepting and adapting to neoliberal globalization. Considering that neoliberal globalization represents only one type of globalization, I suggest that Korea needs to pursue a more flexible national strategy to deal with multiple types of globalization. Flexibilization of Korea’s globalization strategy should begin with a careful examination of other countries’ strategies and a thorough assessment of those conditions that could enable Korea to utilize a transformative globalization strategy in alliance with other actors in global governance.

Within public management several long term research projects involving government performance, public versus private sector organizations, network management, and managerial strategy have made great progress in creating a unique public administration literature. In terms of the bureaucracy and democracy question, the essay argues that the work done in public administration can correct the limitations of work done in political science and other social sciences.

Data are drawn from a survey of state administrators of ECR programs. Findings indicate that the use of performance measurement by state programs is scarce as only six states reported measuring the performance of their ECR program. Study results show many reasons for this finding: lack of staff, lack of time, lack of funding, lack of knowledge concerning how to do performance measurement, lack of knowledge as to how to measure the success of ECR, lack of cost information about alternatives to ECR, too many outside factors intervening in ECR efforts, and not all states have ECR programs. Research findings indicate lessons learned from the states that have attempted measuring the performance of their ECR programs: good management of process, personalize the program, marshall all resources, keep sight of the big picture, and be prepared for the political side of performance measurement.

Using a sample of public employees in South Korea, this study finds that, contrary to conventional wisdom, employee trust is based on the trustee’s some stereotypic beliefs about the trustor and that trust and commitment at both the group and organizational level have stronger effects on innovative behavior than at the individual level. In particular, innovation is likely to be maximized when Korean public employees show a high level of trust in co-worker group, because of the group-based organizational culture in Korea. Findings suggest that managers need to create an affective atmosphere in which the relationship between the trustor and the trustee is tied with positive stereotypic beliefs to encourage innovation in an organization and that the trustees must go beyond the fairness issue in performance evaluation.

Much of the evidence from the analysis of local welfare benefits and costs in Seoul does not consistently support the proposition of race to the bottom. Although local governments tend to decrease welfare costs in response to neighboring governments’ reductions in welfare costs, they tend not to decrease but to increase welfare benefits at a higher rate than neighboring governments. Moreover, whereas electoral competition leads local governments to bear greater welfare costs, the political leanings of elected local officials do not exert significant influence on welfare benefits and costs. These results together suggest that intergovernmental competition does not necessarily lead to the undersupply of social welfare, and electoral dynamics are not a consistent factor in determining social welfare at the local level in Korea.

To transform delegative or limited democracy into a truly representative democracy, it is necessary to ensure not only vertical but also horizontal accountability. This study considers the horizontal dimensions of accountability in order to provide a fuller picture of the part that the Korean legislature has played during the course of democratic regime change. It examines the current process of economic policymaking under democratic rule, using evaluative data from the lawmakers who serve on the National Assembly Committee on Finance and Economy. The authoritarian “sunflower” model presented an extreme version of technocracy, featuring efficient decision – making mostly by technocrats with little or no consultation with other governmental and nongovernmental institutions, including the National Assembly. The current model has, on the other hand, moderated technocratic control such that technocrats formulate policies in consultation with other, more diverse interests. Obviously, this model falls far short of manifesting a fully democratic model of economic policymaking in which the president and elected lawmakers formulate policy jointly in the context of extensive consultation with civic groups and all other relevant governmental and non-governmental organizations and interests.

Not only is the population of older people increasing, but their socioeconomic characteristics are becoming diverse and complex. Values of later life are also changing, from basic living support to opportunities for leisure activities and self-development. This paper aims to reassess the recent policy of delivering leisure programs through Senior Welfare Centers in urban areas. A qualitative in-depth interview was adopted to realistically observe the benefits and limitations of these Centers from the seniors’ viewpoint. Findings suggest that many seniors were enjoying the benefits of participating in various leisure activities at the Center, thus developing a sense of social involvement and well-being. However, such leisure opportunity was not always guaranteed, in that seniors who encountered financial difficulty and were committed to paid work encountered disadvantages in fully accessing the Center programs. Policy implications arise regarding how to recognize differences in seniors’ socioeconomic status, availability, and needs.

Abstract: This paper addresses the question of whether voters perceive the burden of debt in their community and offers an empirical analysis of the existence and degree of debt capitalization. The empirical results of this study show that the existence or degree of debt capitalization depends on whether or not bond payments are funded through municipal taxes. Residents perceive debt issues as future liabilities when bond payments are expected to be made out of local taxes; however, the degree of capitalization is marginal. Residents do not perceive the burden of debt if they expect other revenues than taxes to be used for debt service.

By providing empirical evidence, it intends to show that the upgraded quality of institutional infrastructure is significantly and positively related to inward FDI into the CEECs. With this aim, this study draws on several synthesized institutional factors that are particularly relevant for attracting FDI such as: 1) the degree of privatisation; 2) the quality of market and trade systems; 3) the quality of financial institutions; 4) the quality of infrastructure and 5) the degree of political stability. Empirical evidence strongly suggests that countries with a better performance in institutional reform take pole position in attracting inward direct investment. This study considers the ‘support of the EU’ as an important catalyst for institutional reform of the new member CEECs.

The nature of these changes and their implications for the autonomy of the national state vis-à-vis the Commission are often the subject of heated debate. Unlike the claims of neorealism and neofunctionalism, a close examination of the liberalization process in Britain and Germany telecommunications sector shows the appropriateness of new institutional analysis in which domestic as well as EU level conditions for the liberalization process are simultaneously explored. Although the wave of globalization, liberalization, and technological development set the stage for both countries to initiate telecoms reform, their different institutional structures produced mixed result initially. However, the Commission, armed with technical information and institutional support, exhibited effective mediation skills in making member states follow its legislative steps and pushing through its regulatory measures. As a result, despite some differences in timing and sequencing in their reform processes, Britain and Germany shared key institutional features of convergence – privatization of incumbent of PTTs, full liberalization of the sector, the creation of semi independent regulatory authorities and the spread of new norms of fair and effective competition.

Evidence from 22 OECD Unbalanced Panel Data for 1995–2005 Abstract: Recently, scholars and practitioners around the globe have started to view decentralization as an integral part of broader health reforms. Nevertheless, the literature on decentralization has tended toward case studies and theoretical discussions rather than rigorous empirical analysis, and few quantitative studies have explored the practical consequences of decentralization of health service delivery. This study attempts to address this issue by exploring the impact of decentralization on health outcomes with a panel dataset of 22 countries from 1990 to 2005. Our findings indicate healthcare decentralization is nonlinearly beneficial to improve the health of a population. The effect of decentralization on population health remains positive within a certain threshold, but becomes negative beyond the transition point. Considering the institutional background of healthcare, the institutional setting of reliance on market mechanisms in service provision and on private insurance for basic coverage is a precondition for decentralization reform to further create a positive impact.

This study comes up with a robust NDC on the basis of population and financial sustainability. On the individual level, this article calculates the new optimum premium rate and the income replacement rate when the old-age pension is converted to NDC. Second, we present several scenarios for forecasting the long-term sustainability of Social Security, depending on a macro-level actuarial analysis.

We first define access to finance and identify various measurements of access to finance. Next, we examine previous analyses on the impacts of access to finance. Finally, using state-level panel data of the United States, fixed effect estimation is conducted to analyze the impact of access to finance on income inequality and poverty level. Our analysis is the first study to utilize state-level data on access to finance. The results show that access to finance has positive effects in reducing income inequality and the poverty ratio.

Before empirically testing the relationship between race and the uninsured rate, this study reviews the literature and describes the distribution of the uninsured rate by state in the United States. To analyze the impact of ethnicity on the uninsured rate, this study accounts for various characteristics which are believed to affect the uninsured rate at the state level, such as the state economy, sociodemographics, and state ideology. Results from the cross-sectional time-series feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) regression model indicate that a relationship exists between the Hispanic population and the uninsured rate across the fifty states in the United States. Findings also reveal strong support for the hypothesized impact of the state economy, sociodemographics, and state ideology on the uninsured rate at the state level. These findings have important implications for policy direction and future research.

In this article, I intend to discuss the role of institutional design as an explanatory factor of the success and failure of new governance institutions to cope with public conflict, by comparing three institutional arrangements to resolve waste facility siting controversies in the United States and South Korea. I argue that a certain regulatory recipe with flawed institutional design, regardless of its good intentions and rationales, might not be a solution to public conflict but rather part of the problem, and even exacerbate the problem. Flawed design is related to the tendency to control and formalize participatory negotiation, which dissipates perceived fairness, trust, and creativity among actors. Therefore, designers of new governance institutions should find ways to induce enforced self-regulation.

The authors expand the scope of previous research by addressing the causal relationship between the land-use policy-making process and its consequences. In terms of the political market perspective, this research examines direct and indirect causalities among interest groups, government, land-use policy choice, and the policy outcome. On the basis of the theoretical and analytical setting, the authors conclude that local governments are positively influenced by growth management–oriented interest groups, and they are more likely to devise smart growth land-use tools, but less likely to choose direct land-use regulation. Within governmental regulatory actions, however, direct regulations such as urban growth restrictions, greenbelts, and rural protection lines are regarded as more effective instruments to identify the stringency of land-use regulation for reducing urban sprawl rather than smart growth land-use policy tools. Finally, the causal relationships found in this research imply that, rather than using one direct effect measurement in the study of land-use regulation, the different dimensions have various causalities on land-use regulation and regulatory performances.

We submit that resource dependency theory (RDT) can shed light on this area. We find that criminal firms use a variety of techniques to alter the behavior of actors in procurement processes. We claim that the best way to analyze this phenomenon is by integrating the traditional RDT strategies codified in Pfeffer and Salancik (1978) with an understanding of these criminal techniques. We adopt a qualitative research methodology, relying on official judiciary sources in order to develop and validate the concept’s objects of analysis. Our work has been supported by leading Italian magistrates actively engaged in combating the penetration of criminal firms into legal businesses.

The authors use financial indexes of the enterprises over the period 1993–2003 to measure productivity change. The Malmquist indexes of total factor productivity (TFP) growth are used for measuring and comparing productivity. The indexes are decomposed into two components, efficiency change and technical change (innovation). Results show that productivity of the Korean GIEs increased until 1998. The rest of the period did not enjoy significant increase. Productivity even decreased in the periods of 1998–1999, 2000–2001, and 2002–2003. This study finds that the productivity decrease is due to the weak performance of technical change. The decrease in the technical change suggests the lack of the ability to maximize output from the observed input mix.

These emerging relations are analyzed with respect to the degree to which they have facilitated the democratic engagement of stakeholders, citizens and legislators. Post devolution the Canadian federal system demonstrates decreased democratic engagement, while in the United Kingdom it has increased substantially. This is attributable to the competitive intergovernmental relationship in Canada, and the unwillingness on the part of federal and provincial politicians and officials to collectively engage with stakeholders and citizens. In contrast, intergovernmental relations in the early days of United Kingdom devolution are cooperative, due to the presence of civil service and political party accommodation processes not found in Canada. The European Union also contributes to democratic engagement in the United Kingdom, providing an opportunity for social partners and civil society to participate in policy making.

A spatial model is developed in the context of U.S. regulatory federalism to posit that the responsiveness of state agencies to federal institutions will be greater as state agencies exhibit a stronger policy bias by enforcing regulatory rules at an either extremely low or high level. The results of Quantile Regression analysis of state enforcement of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Act show that bureaucratic responsiveness to the preferences of the federal institutions is unequal across different state agencies.

This phenomenon is a kind of rent seeking which brings about social waste and social inefficiency. Most of the previous literatures on budget allocation considered it as just a transfer from government without considering the waste caused by the intentional transfer from government. This study researched the budget allocation causing social waste with a different viewpoint rent seeking theory. This study aims to find out how the social waste of rent seeking is spent when the government allots the budget and what factors explain the waste of rent seeking in Korea. In order to analyze this matter, this research approaches the subject with both quantitative and qualitative methods. Through these two approaches, the size of rent seeking, the factors to affect the size of rent seeking and the behavior of rent seeking are explained.

For this study, two eParticipation programmes from the Kukmin Chamyao Madang (KCM: Citizen Participatory Space) are chosen to investigate the internal process of eParticipation practices with regards to the deliberative quality and the impact on actual policy-making. The conclusion examines whether the internal process and nature of eParticipation complies with the Habermasian public deliberation model.

In this context, most governments and private organizations have adopted webpages through the internet. This paper reviews the relationship between the webpage adoption in their localities and the local economic development. The authors hypothesize that the webpage adoption can enhance local economic development in local governments. For this study, the data set used is composed of five counties of the Los Angeles basin area from 1988 to 1998. This empirical study shows that the webpage adoption has positively affected the local economic development and that the result is statistically significant.

In Korea, the developmental state emerged in earnest from the early 1960s, and combined with authoritarian politics in the 1970s, labelling the 1970s Korea as a typical form of the authoritarian developmental state. Korea’s developmental state was successful in achieving its core goals: economic growth and industrialization. However, during the years of economic development, social policies were largely underdeveloped or functioned, at the most, as a subsidiary of economic and industrial policies. Against the backdrop of these circumstances, this article aims to explore the economic and social performances of the developmental state in the 1960–70s Korea. In detail, this article answers the following research questions: What was the performance of economic policy in the developmental state of Korea during the 1960–70s? Was there any meaningful social policy in these years? Did social policy function as an instrument of economic development? How and why was social policy excluded in these years of economic development?

A Critical Note on Australian and International Empirical Evidence Abstract: Australian local government policy has undergone a major change in direction as policyelites have recognized the ominous dimensions of the problem of local council financial unsustainability and thereby realized that recent structural reform programs have done little to ameliorate this problem. As a consequence, attention has now moved away from forced amalgamation to focus on shared local services as an alternative means of achieving greater operational efficiency. However, an unfortunate feature of the present debate is that, with a few notable exceptions, very little effort has been expended on examining existing Australian and international empirical evidence on the performance of shared local service models. The present paper seeks to remedy this neglect by critically evaluating available Australian and international empirical literature on the outcomes of shared local service arrangements.

We address the following questions: What is the governance mix in cases of centrally designed local networks, with different public authorities involved in the network and focused on coordinated service delivery? How does that governance mix match the concept of metagovernance as we know it? What does this complexity of relationships and governing styles tell us about the self-governing capacity of local service delivery networks? We bring in the case of the local job centers in Flanders to deal with these questions empirically. We demonstrate the governance instrument mix used by the metagovernors, how dominant one public actor actually is in the network, and the effect thereof on the network dynamics. We also conclude that we need to rethink the concept of metagovernance when analyzing local multilevel networks.

This study examines the effectiveness of a Korean national counseling service program (i.e., WEE project) on reducing student bullying behavior by employing a quasi-experimental design with before-and-after measures of peer victimization and perpetration. Using a representative longitudinal sample of 2972 students from 63 middle schools in Seoul, multivariate regression, fixed-effect regression, and propensity score matching techniques were employed to examine the change in student bullying behavior following random assignment into intervention versus control group schools. Results indicate, however, that the WEE project was not associated with any change in students’ likelihood of peer victimization and perpetration in terms of verbal, physical, and relational bullying. Possible reasons for the null findings as well as policy implications are further discussed.

For the purpose, this study identifies three major candidate groups: policy actors’ values, policy actors’ power, and social capital between policy actors. Then, with the relational data collected by the survey on the Korean international migration policy processes, we try to find core factors affecting communication density between policy actors. The results show that the most influential factors are found in the group of social capital while the variables around policy actors’ value systems are shown to be statistically insignificant, and that what is more important is not the trust based on receiver’s social reputation but the instant trust created during the policy process. This research also indicates that formal voting power is one of the significant variables in deciding the communication density between policy actors.

The pairing of a continuum approach to performance measurement along with specific management activities provides public managers with a new understanding of how performance measurement systems may be designed to reflect the complexity of public organizations.

A case study of three Nordic countries and three East Asian Nations Abstract: Some prominent theorists suggest that trust in government functions primarily as a short-term strategic effect that stems from particularized social trust, political preference for politicians and positive evaluation of government performance. Others alternatively argue that trust in government is associated with long-term democratic values based on generalized social trust, association participation and internal political efficacy. The main purpose of this article is to examine these arguments by testing the following hypotheses: (1) whether trust in government is linked more to particularized social trust, political preference and external political efficacy, or (2) whether it is associated with generalized social trust, association participation and internal political efficacy. Furthermore, this article compares the similarities and differences of the relationships between trust in government and people’s political attitudes in three Nordic countries and in three East Asian nations. Using survey data from the 1999–2001EPCReN Survey on Denmark, Finland, Sweden, China, Japan, and Korea, this article shows that trust in government is related to specific support based on short-term strategic value like particularized social trust, political preference and external political efficacy; but it is far from the diffuse support based on long-term democratic value like generalized social trust, association participation and internal political efficacy; and that the relationships between trust in government and people’s political attitude-values have similarities and differences across nations.

Public acceptance of science-technology is a key propellant for innovation. However, different attitudes exist toward different types of science-technology. Such complex responses from the public require the research to examine in detail the structure on which the acceptance of specific science-technology depends.Our study examines the role of values in determining the acceptance of science-technology. In particular, we focus on three value-related variables – ethical concerns, scientific optimism, and ideology – that play direct and indirect roles in influencing such acceptance. Moreover, to know the extent to which the role of the value factors can be generalized, we compare two contrasting technologies: nanotechnology and animal cloning.We first describe the state of acceptance toward nanotechnology and animal cloning by analyzing survey data. Second, we analyze how the acceptance of these two technologies depends on not only ‘perception factors’ consisting of perceived benefits, feelings, trust, and knowledge, but also ‘value factors’ comprising ethical concern, scientific optimism, and ideology. Third, we examine whether or not the value factor influences the perception factor and is mediated by the latter.

Local governments earn either a ‘qualified opinion’ or an ‘unqualified opinion’ in audited financial report. They all state that the implementation of the accrual basis accounting in their governments is limited to the production of accrual accounting reports only. The process itself is not accrual-based, even four years after its mandatory implementation. Technical issues, such as imprecise valuations and shortages of qualified staff, plague governments regardless of their qualified or unqualified rating. Given that only 16 officials from nine local governments are interviewed and given that neither BPK auditors nor the local auditors are interviewed on the progress made by local governments in implementing the accrual basis accounting, the results of this study cannot be generalized. Indonesia joins other countries in accepting accrual basis accounting. Little or no research looks at the progress since 2015. We do that, and we compare the progress made by the governments earning unqualified opinion rating with that made by the governments earning qualified opinion.

The present study investigates whether such bundled fiscal reforms affected one important social dimension: urban-rural income inequality. Using quasi-experimental data, the study shows that fiscal decentralization benefited only urban residents and that fiscal spending promoted income growth for both urban and rural residents, though growth velocity slowed down over time. Together, the bundled fiscal reforms saw disparate impact on urban and rural residents, with positive effects on rural income growth and negative on urban peers. The latest fiscal reforms did not enlarge urban-rural income inequality and even slowed down their growth velocity. The impact of fiscal reforms has been largely embedded into extant urban-biased institutions and questions the possible limits of state-led development policies. This study concludes by discussing policy and theoretical implications of research findings.

A logistic regression analysis using the data from 214 countries confirms that KSI tends to be established in a country which receives a large amount of the Official Development Assistance (ODA), is an ally of North Korea, has a larger flow of foreign direct investment (FDI) to and from Korea, and is more democratic. This finding implies that KSIs are placed where Korea most needs to yield soft power through language and culture education, as well as where there is an audience that is likely to be receptive and utilize their services.

As examining the residential experiences of migrants allows better understanding the assimilation processes of foreign-born residents, this study examines housing satisfaction and factors affecting residential location choices of female immigrants and their families. By interviewing 25 female immigrants living around Ansan, an ethnically diverse city in Korea, this study finds that there was a large gap between current housing status and preferred housing, thereby leading to low levels of housing satisfaction among female immigrants. Regarding, residential location choices, proximity to co-ethnics, neighborhood ethnic composition, services for multicultural families, job opportunities, and availability of low-cost housing were related to residential location choices of female immigrants. Additionally, given finding that female immigrants preferred living in an apartment (i.e., a housing complex with high-rise residential buildings in Korea) and in an integrated neighborhood, this study predicts that boundaries between where foreign-born residents are concentrated will shift toward where native Korean residents are concentrated.

This paper describes the morally concerned skepticism at the heart of the centrist position in the P.A. discourse movement. It recaps discourse theory. It proposes that P.A. discourse ethics should be epistemologically realistic. Administrators need to know for sure, but there is difficulty in being sure in knowing. The paper describes authentic hesitation that is infused by morally concerned skepticism. It suggests that P.A. discourse ethics need not be constrained within the parameters of a single mind-set like the modernist.

Identifying Brazilian reform as being strongly inspired by New Public Management (NPM) prescriptions, the authors discuss the characteristics of this model in its Brazilian version. The analysis reveals that New Public Management prescriptions in the Brazilian context are propagated alongside an ideological discourse aimed at disguising its conservative agenda. In addition, the authors criticize the discourse on government reform as adhering to the post-modern fallacy regarding the dismissal of ideology and the “neutrality” of NPM prescriptions.

Despite many advances in tools, techniques, and approaches to analyzing policies, policy learning remains an elusive concept both for scholars and in practice. This article makes three contributions to scholarship about this topic. One is to clarify the meaning of the concept for which a distinction is made between instrumental and social forms of policy learning. A second contribution is identification of situations for which each form of learning is relatively easy or more difficult to undertake. The third is consideration of mechanisms and institutional designs that foster each form of learning.

This paper’s discussion centers on finding a pathway for citizens and administrators to move from a solely parochial, privatized view to one which finds a moral coherence between a global view and the local pragmatic context. The response to the realities of paradox and ambiguity of this interconnected world is to move beyond the divisiveness engendered by the endless debates concerning either/or choices—whether they be between objectivism and subjectivism; parochialism or cosmopolitanism; or foundationalism and relativism.

Shared values and understandings, which are the basis for collective action or inaction, are uncovered through the aesthetic examination and appreciation of societal and organizational images. Aesthetic theorizing is presented as a way to dialectically synthesize socially created and encountered artifacts that more authentically reflect our experiences, perceptions and visions for the future while yielding richer, more democratic interpretations of social phenomena toward meaningful praxis in everyday organizational life.

Author-X-Name-Last: De Vries Title: Toward a Historical-Comparative Perspective on Bureaucracies Abstract: In the discipline of public administration an ambivalent relation exists with the research object. On the one hand we train people to become civil servants, and as soon as they enter the administration we treat them like bureaucrats with all its negative associations. Bureaucrats are seen as people who maximize what they should be satisfied with, e.g. their size and budget, and who are satisfied with the things they should maximize, e.g. the effectiveness of policies. This article argues that a historical perspective on bureaucracies may present another picture of bureaucracies. This theory departs from the axiom that public resources are scarce and the demands placed on it are high. Subsequently not all demands can be satisfied at the same time. The public sector has to choose. It is argued further that governments tend to shift attention in phases and neglect other demands accordingly. This has also implications for the administrative system. This is expected to be subservient during one period, to be democratic and to take into account a multitude of opinions in the next period, after which it is expected to be as efficient as possible, even becoming entrepeneurs, because such demands were neglected in the previous period. Nowadays public integrity is getting more priority. It is argued here that this new attention can be explained by analyzing long term developments and especially by looking at the aspects of administrative behavior that have been neglected mostly in the previous period.

Alternative factors underlying support for transit taxation are tested, including congestion relief, environmental conservation, social service provision, perceived future need, and general attitude toward government spending. The study finds a surprisingly strong endorsement of transit as a necessary social service, and concludes that in auto dependent areas, transit’s primary task when appealing for locally generated financing is to demonstrate its success in serving as the bottom-line guarantor of mobility for the young, elderly, disabled, unemployed and poor.

The statistical techniques used were Point-biserial Correlation and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis. Some important findings are as follows: if the City of Los Angeles wants to motivate Korean-Americans’ willingness to participate regarding the recycling program, the following factors have to be considered: (1) community’s volunteer activities; (2) recycling by their friends and neighbors; (3) type of dwelling; (4) Korean television, radio, and newspapers; (5) English television, radio, and newspapers; and (6) income.

Abstract: In considering the problem of a ‘cost explosion’ in Germany’s statutory health system, and the main reasons responsible for this phenomenon (demographic change, medical technological progress, and the wrong incentives to the actors involved), the authors argue that orthodox cost containment measures have enjoyed very limited success. They contend that social insurance against sickness must not only embrace the health insurance market, but also requires income redistribution in favour of the insured who must meet high risk premiums from a relatively low income. This would necessitate a radical re-structuring of the regulatory framework because the redistribution should be implemented in a way which is as efficient as possible and compatible with an emerging healthcare market within the European Union (EU). It requires a universal, obligatory minimum level of health insurance, with voluntary opt-outs from the higher full coverage system. This should be supplemented by tax-transfer payments which are economically viable.

The idea of using social insurance system in the field of long-term care has been quite controversial. There are many who still believe that long-term care is mainly a family matter and the state intervention should be minimized. At the same time there are quite a few who believe that the state or local government, and not the insurer, should provide services to people in need of care using tax revenue. The actual long-term care insurance is the reflection of these different opinions among people as well as of interest groups.The author examines the background factors that influenced the formation of the long-term care insurance, deals with the important characteristics of the insurance system with reasons why these characteristics were formed and finally discusses the issues to be overcome.

Due to the stringent criteria for eligibility and limited benefit coverage, the Medicaid has failed to provide the poor with sufficient protection for illness. Delayed payments to health care providers have led to the discrimination against Medicaid patients, deteriorating their access to medical care. Despite the rapid decrease in the program’s coverage of population, health care expenditure of the program has exploded, resulting in the chronic fiscal instability of the program. High health care expense in mental and long-term care also contributes to the cost inflation of the Medicaid program. This paper concludes by providing the directions of the Medicaid reform in the areas of financing, payment system, eligibility, and the organization of delivering care.

In this report, we attempt to establish a linkage of how changes in payment methods affect the pattern of clinical practice among providers. Our findings, based on analysis of empirical data, indicate that health care providers respond quickly to changes in payment in order to maximize their income. As a principle of payment reform, we bring forth a proposal to contain the total healthcare expenditure under a global budget, and to enlarge payment units from fee-for-service to case payment and capitation.

The context and institutional arrangements of the two public bodies are reviewed, and their performance are assessed in terms of cost, efficiency, quality and equity. The findings suggest that the arrangement whereby a government department provides executive support to a corporate body is ineffective and problematic. This study also reveals that corporatization without competition has, at best brought about some improvement in quality in areas where they are easily noticeable or measurable. While no equity principles have been compromised under corporatization, these corporatized entities do not appear to have succeeded in lowering costs or achieving greater efficiency.

This involves an overall analysis of the various impacts of public enterprises in the past as well as the governmental responses to these impacts. Effects and achievement coming from privatization will be analyzed in each stage of denationalization of the Korean state firms. Also, this paper examines prospects of reforming the government-run enterprises under the current presidential leadership. This is deemed necessary in the light of still existing conflicts in South Korea between the economic demand of restructuring and socio-political opposition to this tendency. Moreover, this study will attempt to suggest more suitable and effective means of achieving successful reform of the Korean public enterprises in the future.

A crisis management “literacy” would indicate a more comprehensive reform and re-design agenda for local government than is currently being recognized. This paper identifies a crisis management literacy appropriate for broadening and enhancing local government capabilities within a globalizing context. It identifies major reforms undertaken recently in Australian local government and, clearly, reinforces an awareness of the inadequacy of managerialist and economistic reforms undertaken from the perspective of managerial and governance capacities required to respond to identifiable vulnerabilities and predictable “creeping crises” manifest within local government communities. A new globally-informed “localism” is urgently required within on-going debates about the extent, and adequacy, of the reform agenda in Australia.

The current South Korean institutional arrangements of government procurement system are weak in solving the transaction problems. The crucial remedies can be identified from governing the centralized Supply Administration of ROK (SAROK: Jodalchung) and its related-institutional arrangements. What is to be done about the problems the current Korean government procurement system confronts with? The basic principle is to increase dramatically the freedom (decentralization) of individual user agencies to use their judgment in the procurement process and to enhance the open and fair competition. In search of effective governance, this paper emphasizes the need to establish the governance culture to pursue effective government procurement system as follows: more delegation to user agencies, more independence and rational procedures to SAROK and user agencies, deregulation of legislative intervention, and professionalism of purchasing manpower.

Still the concept of governance has not been articulated yet. Thus an effort was made here to clarify the meaning of governance and its relationships with decentralization. And then the framework of local governance was applied to three Northeast Asian countries to analyze their system and to draw some implications for the future directions. The achievement of governance at the local level cannot be possible without the shift of power through decentralization. But at the same time decentralization will not be effective unless an effort is made to strengthen local governance.

Author-X-Name-Last: Welch Title: Managerial Adaptation through the Market in the Public Sector: Theoretical Framework and Four Models Abstract: During the last two decades, governments made significant efforts to simultaneously reduce the size and increase the efficiency of government. This study examines multifaceted nature of government’s managerial adaptation through the market, which has been one of the key elements of New Public Management. The study posits a theoretical framework of governance and explores some key concepts including government capacities, mechanisms, and governance functions. Based on the framework, the authors identify four models of governance: the traditional bureaucratic model (governance by the bureaucratic mechanism without the market mechanism), the contracting-out model (governance by the joint bureaucratic and market mechanisms), the contracting-in model (governance by the bureaucratic mechanism through the market mechanism), and the public-private direct competition model (governance by the market mechanism). This study also discusses the effects of adopting the contracting-out, contracting-in, and public-private direct competition models on public accountability.

Housing tenure in Korea seems to be hierarchically structured by household income. Two-stage OLS estimation results of the living space demand equations suggest that the elasticities of both income and price are inelastic. However, the absolute magnitude of price elasticity is greater than that of income elasticity. This implies that the problem of insufficient living space of the lower income group will not be improved if the increasing rate of housing price is greater than that of income. The accessibility to formal mortgage markets is another important determinant of demand for living space. Thus enhancing accessibility to mortgage markets could be one of the policy devices to improve the problem of limited living space of renters effectively.

California’s water supply system is essential to the large, heavily populated state. It is centered on the “Bay-Delta” estuary, the primary source of urban and agricultural water that is now recognized as an endangered ecosystem. Data from a multi-year and multi-method qualitative research project were used to identify the repertoire of meanings of “collaboration” held by diverse participants, across settings and over time. Participants shared many core understandings of collaboration, including a strongly positive view and a pragmatic justification of collaboration as the best way to achieve workable, consensus-based solutions to Bay-Delta problems. Participants also considered “getting everyone at the table” as key to collaboration, and saw collaboration as creating familiarity, trusting relationships, and shared understandings that had practical benefits.

According to the affect heuristic model, the benefit and risk perceptions influence and are influenced by affect towards a NIMBY facility and the government. On the other hand, the cultural heuristic model has found that the benefit and risk perceptions depend on worldviews. A Korean case involving the siting of a crematory facility in Hanam city offers a unique opportunity to test the relations between benefit and risk perception, affect heuristic and cultural heuristic. The results of the analysis of a survey administered to Hanam residents are as follows. First, risk perception was influenced by hierarchism, individualism, dread, distrust in the mayor, and voting against the mayor. Second, benefit perception was influenced by hierarchism, fatalism, dread, negative image, distrust in experts, and party affiliation. Third, risk perception increased dread, and perception of benefit decreased anger. This study shows that government should decrease risk perception by reducing the negative image of both the facility and policy makers and by relying on a market-oriented siting mechanism. Benefit perception should be raised by increased trust in government, rather than by compensation.

As communities of color have organized to confront this problem, their claims of injustice have revealed significant issues across all sectors of environmental governance, both in the U.S. and internationally, and reflect failures of representative institutions in urban land management. In this manuscript, we derive a socio-spatial approach to management of facility siting decisions based on the research in environmental justice. Then we discuss some reforms to facility siting that have been proposed and implemented in the U.S., Canada, and western Europe over the course of three decades, and how these reforms can improve the legitimacy of facility siting decisions.

A multivariate model of the influence on service delivery effectiveness of the inter-organizational governance arrangements, the nature of interdependencies in service delivery, the intensity of interactions, the characteristics of the constituent partners, and the characteristics of the network within which the partnerships operate is developed and empirically analyzed. Using data on 138 partnerships operating within 26 networks to provide family preservation services in a major United States county, a random-effects model is estimated. Service delivery is found to be positively impacted when roles and responsibilities are contractually defined, when partners are viewed as trustworthy, and by the extent to which decision making, information, and resources are shared. More sector diversity within the network is associated with less effective service delivery, but the effect of sector diversity in partnerships is mixed.

This need for expansion has arisen in response to increasing demand for local welfare services, and the linkage of welfare to public health services for local clients. Using a case study on collaborative governance for the local welfare system, the government-mandated “Community Welfare Council,” this paper explores the council itself and cross-sectoral collaboration for local welfare planning and service provision, and provides implications for the essence of collaborative governance. Despite engaging a wide range of organizations across sectors, the council has faced such challenges as lack of representativeness and elusive cross-sectoral collaboration. These challenges undermine voluntary collaboration because the council is driven by government mandate. Independent private coordinators have not yet been significant in facilitating collaboration. Rather, councils with joint chairs from the public and private sectors have facilitated greater cross-sectoral collaboration. Unless cross-sectoral collaboration incorporates practical subdivisions serving target groups, receives increased operational funding, includes private participants representative of welfare and public health services, and receives willingness of local government, collaborative governance may result in increased transaction costs and governance failure.

This broadly used term must be further defined. This study will begin defining types of network structure based on the networks’ characteristics. Our research maintains that network effectiveness for community development differs depending on the network structure. This study explores the popularity of collaborative network governance types in Korean local governance of community development. Our findings show that a type of government-leading network is the most popular. We found through a case analysis of the “Happy Korea” project that a local government with a public-private partnership network structure has a higher performance than other types of networks.

This research attempts to highlight the differences between the sectors by comparing the perceptions of public sector and nonprofit employees with respect to flexibility, innovativeness, and red tape, taking sector switch into account. The empirical findings show that nonprofit organizations are perceived as more flexible and innovative, compared to private sector counterparts, and that the degree of red tape is greater in public sector organizations than in nonprofits. The public-nonprofit distinction can be accounted for by differences in the external environments of each sector. While public agencies are constrained by non-market environments such as political and legal authorities, nonprofits confront an economic environment. This study also suggests that employee experience in other sectors may influence perceptions of the organizational values of the sector in which the employee currently works.

The author suggests that police performance should be categorized along two dimensions: the nature of the performance indicator (output or outcome) and the objective of policing strategy (crime reduction and citizen satisfaction). The author argues that outcome-related police performance is influenced by social disorganization and output-related police performance is influenced by police force size, and tests these hypotheses with data from the Social Capital Benchmark Survey, Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics, and the Uniform Crime Report. Theoretical implications are discussed.

While creating an ACA is regarded as a stepping stone in the fight against corruption, how to make an ACA effective by institutionalizing its law enforcement functions is more critical. This is particularly the case in the early years of a newly created ACA. This paper examines the effectiveness of anticorruption law enforcement functions of the KPK, Indonesia’s ACA that was created in 2003, and identifies key challenges that lie ahead of the KPK. By adopting key performance indicators, this paper finds that the KPK has been successful in carrying out three-pronged anticorruption strategies— repression, prevention, and public relations, which is congruent with strong public support of and trust in the KPK. However, the KPK faces several challenges posed by inherent structural limitations and external political forces that may threaten the efficacy of the Commission’s anticorruption functions. While the public has to show continuous strong support of the KPK, the Commission must effectively perform legally mandated and socially expected anticorruption functions with high integrity and discipline in order to become a de facto ACA.

The new public management, which emphasizes improving organizational performance, has been the key factor of the Korean administrative reforms. These administrative reforms affect organizational commitment through organizational trust within public organizations. Prior studies focused on examining how supervisory trust mediates the relationship between administrative reforms and organizational commitment. This study focuses on the role of interpersonal trust in coworkers, which prior studies have not examined. Results indicate that interpersonal trust in coworkers mediates the relationship between administrative reforms such as job insecurity, empowerment and participation, and organizational commitment. Professional reforms are more related to organizational commitment than market-oriented reforms.

Over the last decade, PHRM has reemerged as a major approach for enhancing the performance of federal employees. Reformers have instituted various measures to bring performance to the center of the personnel process in all federal agencies. However, there are huge variations among the agencies when it comes to how effective these efforts have been. To identify the factors that lead to these variations, we develop an analytical framework for the implementation of PHRM. Our analysis of the data collected from 167 U.S. federal agencies reveals that PHRM is significantly affected by a group of factors such as external political influences, organizational size, professionalism, type of policy instruments, and leadership effectiveness. These findings are discussed in terms of the implications for successful PHRM in government organizations.

In accordance with the primary principles and criteria for GoSD, this paper explores the contradiction between the “procedure-orientation” and “substance-orientation” that appear to have been embedded in the formulation processes of the National Strategy for SD and the Framework Act on SD. This study found that one of the underlying causes that brought about the contradiction was the lack of consensus on the authority of governance as far as the extent of power or authority that should be given to governance. In short, it reveals that accepted conventions regarding the nature of the relationship between governance and SD are ill-founded and that the process is in fact imbued with contradictions and tensions.

This study also made comparison between pre- and post-audit reform and applied qualitative methods. The study revealed that Indonesia’s executive branch has historically neglected the roles and functions of BPK. The Indonesian government has reformed laws related to public sector auditing. In situations where the Indonesian government needs immediate reform, BPK has been attempting to improve its audit performance to provide better scope of auditing for the quality of public administration. Towards this end, this study suggests recommendations for BPK to propose judicial reviews of legal aspects of auditing tax revenues and to pay more attention to the implementation of performance auditing for better public administration.

Author-X-Name-Last: Denhardt Title: The New Public Service: An Approach to Reform Abstract: Under evolving forms of governance, government will play a different role in the steering of society. Yet government will still be judged by legal and political criteria, economic and market criteria, and democratic and social criteria. The first of these was central to traditional public administration, the second is at the forefront of “the new public management,” and the third is central to “the new public service.” Here we outline the characteristics of the new public service and how its principles will guide future public administrators.

Author-X-Name-Last: Golembiewskit Title: Perspectives on Public Management Reform as Planned Change Abstract: The focus here is on the New Public Management, henceforth NPM, which constitutes a tsunami, virtually worldwide. Thus, inter alia, we hear about “customers” of public services, which are to be provided by “public intrapreneurs” as well as by cadres of employees at all levels who are “empowered.” And so on and on, with the conventional topics including crosstraining, total quality, performance measurement, and strategic planning. Although widely accepted, the NPM dogma – certainly it is no less in influential sources – does not survive critical analysis. In sum, this essay proposes this judgment: that in more or less equal measure, NPM combines ubiquity, too much made of some six useful but limited notions, unreconciled diversities, and major issues at sixes-and-sevens. This essay also intends to show how NPM might rise above its limitations. Specifically, four emphases relate to these critical-cum-constructive ambitions. In preview, the old NPM: seldom even attempted detailing a useful approach to applications; typically neglected systemic or milieu characteristics within which applications occurred; usually did not specify a useful front-load in designs: i.e., training in values, attitudes, and interaction skills that would facilitate developing a “cultural preparedness” for appropriate applications; and seldom specified supportive structural/managerial arrangements and especially how they might be achieved in practice. The text gives illustrative attention to how matters might be improved upon.

In this paper, we attempt to explain cultural change within their respective Treasuries in terms of their secretaries’ use of agenda-setting, strategic recruitment and “expression games.” A different institutional context allowed the New Zealand Treasury (NZT) to exercise a more dominant influence than the Australian Treasury (AT), although the Post-War hegemony of a market failure paradigm meant that it was deeply influential in both agencies. The erosion of the authority of this paradigm in the 1980s induced significant “cultural re-invention” in both Treasuries as they aligned themselves with reformists committed to policies derived from the government failure paradigm. The stronger reaction to the alignment of the more dominant NZT has placed it under more pressure than the AT to reinvent itself again in the 1990s.

Derived from the Review of the Centre and initiatives such as Pathfinder, this second stage of reform is building on established foundations but needing hard work over coming years to bring it to fruition. There is much to applaud amongst current improvements but, on the surface they seen conservative and too slow to develop. They might, however, represent progressive ‘collective learning’ in contrast to the rapid and radical reforms of the first stage.

To evaluate the performance of the OPS program, two criteria were drawn from legislative intents. Primary purpose was recruiting competent personnel through open competition, and secondary purpose was to prevent frequent transfers. To evaluate open competition effects, the degree of competition for the OPS positions and the degree of personnel exchanges were examined. To assess the increasing the term of services effects, average lengths of service in a position above grade 3 level before and after the introduction of the OPS program were compared. In addition, a survey data to find out the concerned groups’ expectation and evaluation of actual performance of the OPS program were analyzed. Compared to former closed government of which officials within the Ministry always filled positions, the institutionalization of OPS program is a great change towards an open government. However, government needs to revise the system to recruit more civilians and public officials from the other Ministries at the OPS positions.

First, the growing mistrust of the public in government use of tax resources. These sentiments resemble the attitudes of the Principal towards the Agent in the presence of Agency relation. Second, the paradigm shift from “governing” to “gover-nance” where the state must delegate or allow other public and private entities to carry out certain functions that used to be part of central government responsibilities. This paper points out that as a result of this shift to governance due attention must be given to risk management not only by government but also by other participants in the governing process. Paying such attention is consistent with the challenge of governments to meet the desired norms of account-ability, transparency and social Responsibility.

For this to happen successfully, there must be commitment by organizational members to the change. This paper investigated the conditions under which commitment to the radical change of self organizing systems will increase. The dimensions of self-organizing systems (SOS) were operationalized based on: creation of autonomous fluctuations, self-transcendence, meta-cooperation, and teleonomy. Empirical data was used to investigate the relationships between characteristics of SOS and organizational commitment (OC). Using a LISREL (Linear Structural Relations) approach, findings indicate that an increase in OC is associated with attention to the characteristics of SOS. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

The paper elaborates and contrasts two opposing models of public management, which are designated the Jupiter and Hercules models. The paper will show that the NPM reforms are based upon the Herculean model, whereas existing Korean public administration, with its strong statist tradition, operates on the Jupiter model. This mismatch of models has brought about paradoxical effects in Korean public administration, which are the results of a wrong prescription. The fundamental reason why the NPM reform cannot succeed lies in the bureaucratic power and dual structure of operation. This paper proposes that a post-NPM model for Asian countries should instead start out from their own, distinct definitions of problem areas and develop solutions that better fit the particular circumstances of the concerned Asian societies.

The estimation results demonstrate the potentials for the combined estimation of two stated preference experiments. Our findings show that the transport related attributes have significant impacts on residential location choice. The estimated monetary values of one minute of commuting time and one pence of commuting cost are equivalent to £6,339 and £883 with regard to house price, while the estimated value of time is 7.18 pence per minute. Higher quality of school has a significantly positive effect, while higher density and central city location have a significantly negative impact on residential location choice. The simulation results based on the model estimates suggest that the best location for new housing development varies with commuting patterns, spatial job distribution, and the changes of attributes influencing residential location choice.

In this paper, I examined various types of quasi-governmental institutions that exist in Korea and analyzed their unique characteristics. It was found that four different types of quasi-governmental agencies were employed, mainly for policy implementation purposes for government ministries. When choosing among various institutional forms to perform certain public tasks, policy makers need to take into account the demand-side features of public tasks in question, the degree to which services are provided universally, monitoring and contract costs, and the responsiveness of institutions. In balancing these factors, policy makers have to match the supply-related factors or organization-specific configurations. This functional matching concept is an important one when choosing among different institutional types within the quasi-governmental sector. Lastly, the government needs to think about streamlining quasi-governmental organizations as they tend to create accountability and political problems.

To examine the regulatory framework and implementation style in Korea, quantitative data was gathered from a questionnaire survey of both regulators and environmental managers of regulated plants, supplemented by interviews of selected respondents from both the regulators and the regulated. The reality of environmental regulation was examined through an analysis of the context, framework and implementation style. The conclusion appears to be that Korea’s mandatory regulations are primarily based on a command-control system (mainly concentration-based standards). In practice, emphasis is placed on treating pollution once it has been released rather than on preventing it. This has driven regulation in a compliance (end-of-pipe) mode as opposed to a pollution prevention mode. The Korean implementation style was primarily characterised by specified compliance approach (or adversarial relations) between industry and regulators whose approach is bureaucratic, formal, and focused on monitoring and enforcement.

This paper seeks to clarify how nonprofits use computer technology, the role of volunteers in this relationship, the challenges facing nonprofits and new technology, and the attitudes of nonprofit staff regarding computer technology. Results of an exploratory survey are reported. Among the findings are that 1) size of an organization (whether measured in staff or budget) does not necessarily influence its technological capacity, 2) receiving funds designated for information technology increases an organizational technological capacity and appreciation, 3) volunteers frequently provide technical support but rarely use nonprofit computer technology, 4) a lack of funding is seen as the biggest challenge to acquiring and maintaining computer systems, and 5) human services nonprofits seem to have fewer computer resources than other kinds of nonprofits. These findings are compared to a survey with other types of nonprofits in an urban area.

The particular model is developed based on the premise that land use activities, which differ in attributes, can properly be aligned with governance mechanisms in such a way that minimizes the governance costs. Given the intrinsic limitations of the measurement of governance costs, this study applies the discrete structural analysis for the alignment. The model developed in such a manner prescribes very diverse and specific mechanisms for the governance of land use activities, and as such, the relevance of this model to the real world situation is much greater. The diversification of policy measures can not only contribute to the improvement of the water quality in the reservoir, but also provide the watershed residents with the opportunity to develop a series of environmentally sensitive and economically viable patterns for growth and diversity.

Both recovered by 1999 by taking radically different approaches. This study reports the comparative study of the perception of the economic crises by the policy makers of these countries. It uses cognitive maps to discover and compare the perceptual structures of decision-makers. This study finds that the causes of the crises were perceived different and so were the strategies adopted to overcome them, but there was something common in the way of thinking of policy makers of respective countries. The cognitive maps contained feedback loops.

Based on historical institutionalism and the model of altered states, this article identifies three crucial factors: first, international or domestic events that provide government executives with opportunities for potential transformation; second, government executives that utilize these opportunities for transformation; third, institutional context that allows or limits them to initiate and implement structural reforms. Building on this framework, it is argued that the degree of structural reform in a country depends on government executives positions in an institutional context, which shapes preferences and goals of the political executives in the decision-making process and constrains the capacity for specific policy outputs.

It is a methodological attempt to transform limitations of Jeffery Paige’s “Combination Model” into a “Combined and Collapsed Model of Trust and Efficacy” for comparing levels or intensities of alienation toward government. Causes of alienation and behavioral consequences are identified as experimental guidelines for future studies. Accordingly, the primary purpose of this study is to contribute to theory and methodology, rather than empirical explanation, concerning political alienation toward government in the context of public governance.

The extensive survey was conducted with a stratified random sample of 500 respondents of Daegu Metropolitan Government. The analytic results show that about 70 percent of the respondents are identified as philanthropists or free-riders in the provision of cultural services. Among them, the free-rider problem is generally regarded as a threat to the adequate provision of public goods. The results also reveal that the magnitude of the free-rider problem varies according to the differences of demographic variables, such as gender, income, household size and age.

The paper begins with a review of the historical background and three main viewpoints regarding QOL. Three main approaches are (1) basic needs approach, (2) human development approach, and (3) capability approach. In an effort to build the concept of QOL, the idea of universal human needs by expanding the concept of basic needs is derived to supplement the abstractness and vagueness which the concept of functionings in a capability approach has. It also considers the necessity for adding subjective dimension of emotional and existential satisfaction to the concept of the quality of life.The paper discusses the methods for constructing an aggregate index in order to compare QOL between nations. In doing this, two things are discussed. First, measurement units need to be universalized for the sake of statistical work. Standardization method that involves the transformation of data on individual variables into z scores is suggested as a good method for universalizing the units. Second, the methods for calculating weights that are indispensable for constructing indexes of various indicators are discussed. The choice of weighting techniques will become more crucial in developing an overall measure of QOL between nations.

This paper is about pollution prevention and control in Korean industry. It provides a systematic understanding of the determinants of adoption of cleaner technology at the plant level, and suggests policy directions that encourage the adoption of cleaner technology and minimize obstacles to this process within the Korean context. In particular, it explores factors influencing the adoption of cleaner technology in a sampling of Korean plants from the industrial chemicals, and iron and steel sectors. This empirical research provides a pioneering empirical examination of the factors associated with the adoption of cleaner technology in the two most pollution intensive sectors in Korea. The critical role of environmental regulation was observed both as a driver of cleaner technology adoption and as a barrier to such cleaner technology adoption. In particular, the results indicate that motivation, a more flexible approach to implementation, and the perceived intensity of barriers related to the regulatory framework primarily determine the adoption of cleaner technology.

It has been speculated that individualism was associated with the increase of social trust, whereas collectivism has been linked with hierarchical and engulfed social bonds that impede the formation of trust in society. Bearing this in mind, patterns of general and particularized trust among Australian national public officers were explored in relation to cultural value orientations. To measure particularized trust, five sets of social relations, which are considered to be important for our social lives, were employed. According to the result, horizontal collectivism (i.e., HC) was positively associated both with general trust and particularized trust in all five sets of social relations; furthermore, these positive relationships were maintained even when the familiarity of trustees was controlled. Vertical collectivism (i.e., VC) mirrored HC in its relationships with patterns of trust in a lesser degree; that is to say, VC was positively related with general trust and particularized trust in people in a set of social relations. In contrast, horizontal and vertical individualism (i.e., HI and VI, respectively) was not significantly linked with general trust. As for particularized trust, VI was related with trust in the former schoolmates; however, this relationship was diminished when the familiarity of trustees was controlled. Theoretical implications of the study were discussed.

While many researches have focused on why social capital in such areas as economic development, poverty reduction, environment, this study elaborates the process of creating or increasing social capital in local governance. After decomposing social capital of two categories: cognitive part (trust) and structural part (networks), causal mechanism is made between two parts. For this study, the theoretical framework is constructed by using interaction, dialogue and diversity. This study employs a structural equation model (SEM). Through empirical results, diversity and interaction make a positive effect on networks of civic engagement. Furthermore, diversity and dialogue influence trust. Finally, networks (structural part) lead to trust (cognitive part) even though they are components of social capital.

Although the taxes assigned to sub-national governments conform to the theory in principle, the current local tax system appears to be overly complicated with an excessive number of taxes. A couple of policy recommendations can be made from the analysis presented in this paper. First, it would be beneficial to simplify the local tax system by integrating taxes that are levied on the same tax base. Second, it would be beneficial to reduce the excessive reliance on property taxation by increasing the share of income or sales taxation in the local tax system. Third, it is critical to first understand why sub-national governments seldom exercise rate flexibility and then make political and fiscal institutional arrangements to promote the use of rate flexibility.

An NIS is a hybrid application of geographical information system and web technologies that provides demographic, social, and economic information to community stakeholders. The NIS is an innovative information technology (IT) tool to enhance local governance. In developing an NIS, local governments, nonprofits, universities, and foundations must work together. This paper examines what types of partnership models work better for NIS development. The findings of this study suggest that developing an effective NIS requires a collaborative environment and strong managerial leadership. This paper also suggests that IT innovation tools in turn can facilitate collaborative governance.

In this context, South Korea has become a leading nation, providing various types of aid to its less-privileged neighbors. This study analyzes the ‘Green Mongolia’ project carried out by a Korean institution, exploring the way in which different stakeholders view green official development assistance (ODA) programs and the constituencies such policies are designed to help. We focus particularly on three dimensions of sustainability: the environment, the economy, and society. The Q-method used in this paper provides deeper insights into the awareness and belief systems of groups with different perspectives, helping to recognize the issues they actually face. Our analysis identified four contrasting types of views: ‘society-oriented,’ ‘environment-oriented,’ ‘economy/environment-balanced,’ and ‘environment/society-balanced.’ Although limited in their perspectives, most local respondents took environmental issues seriously, and were willing to listen to and work with their government to advance the program in question. We suggest that ‘green ODA’ works better when policies are based on a consensus and take into account the interests of all participating entities and stakeholders.

Using Missouri county data from 2004 to 2013, the ensuing analysis assesses the extent to which diffusion processes help explain this conundrum. While concurring with previous research that it is difficult to empirically sort out the impacts of different diffusion mechanisms, this analysis finds that economic competition affects local governments’ adoption of TIF in conjunction with county-level characteristics. The article concludes by discussing the implications of these findings in regard to TIF effectiveness.

To investigate turnover intention of public employees in South Korea, this study employed psychological contract theory and examined the impacts of psychological contract fulfillment on turnover intention. With 2016 Public Employee Perception Survey data, this study found that transactional and relational contract, and perceived organizational support were negatively associated with turnover intention of public employees in South Korea. As a result, this study maintains that public organizations in South Korea should keep their promises on compensation, non-monetary incentives, and employee well-being programs to their employees not only to hold valuable current employees, but also to attract new and young talents.

To address this challenge, leading corporations in South Korea have established a new model for CSR. While gradually decreasing cash or in-kind donations, they create a nonprofit subsidiary directly involved in the delivery of social services. The purpose of the study is to examine the motive behind the introduction of this new CSR strategy, in which a nonprofit social enterprise established by a leading internet provider in South Korea increased its financial performance and changed its human resources. The case suggests that a nonprofit social enterprise owned and supported by a private company is a sustainable model of CSR, as it obtains a continuous flow of financial and technological support from the parent organization. With increasing anti-corporate attitude and demand for philanthropic contributions to society, the strategic alliance of a private company with a nonprofit subsidiary may be a viable option for addressing these challenges while meeting business interests.

For this purpose, a Delphi survey was conducted to ascertain the views of public officials in emergency management regarding the components of expertise. Results showed that public officials in emergency management in the central government considered the most necessary component as horizontal collaboration ability with government organizations on the same level. Public officials working in emergency management in local government considered on the job experience in emergency management the most needed component. Regarding the stage of emergency management, public officials in charge of prevention and preparedness considered professional knowledge of emergency management theory/technology the most necessary. For those in charge of response, shrewd judgment ability was most required, while those in charge of recovery considered on the job experience in emergency management the most required. In terms of the position of public officials, higher-ranked public officials in emergency management regarded fast decision-making capability as most important, whereas lower-ranked public officials in emergency management regarded on the job experience in emergency management or job responsibility as most important.

In analyzing fiscal impacts, a robust standard error model approach in fixed-effects model is employed. The major findings are as follows. The number of local consumption taxes, a measure of tax revenue multiplicity, is found to be associated with larger government budget sizes and higher total tax burdens. The research findings contribute a longitudinal perspective to the literature about the fiscal implications of changes in tax revenue multiplicity. This study also has practical implications for tax policy. Financial officials and taxpayers are often interested in having more multiple sourced tax revenue structures to export their tax burdens and increase their budget size. However, taxpayers and financial officials should know that a more multiple sourced tax revenue structure is likely to increase their total tax burdens.

Abstract: This study investigates whether servant leadership has a benevolent influence on government employees’ attitudes and productivity. Employing survey responses from 471 local government employees in Korea, this study found that servant leadership contributes to (1) developing employees’ trust in leadership, (2) enhancing employees’ perception of fair work procedures (procedural justice), and (3) inducing benevolent work behaviors (OCB). Thus, the results indicate that public sector leaders who define themselves as servant leaders can provide a better work environment and greater work engagement opportunities for their employees.

Such migrations bring about interregional external effects and regressivity, where value-added flows from provincial to urban areas. To cope with these inefficiencies of resource distribution, from a short-term perspective fiscal aid from the central government for the regions suffering from out-migration is needed to internalize the externality and to compensate for the regressivity. From a long-term perspective, balanced regional development policies are necessary to prevent such migrations. The purpose of this study is to provide information for the fiscal aid arrangements of the central government by analyzing the realities of interregional migration and to outline policy implications for regional balanced policies by examining the influential determinants of value-added migration.

However, they lack important practical as well as theoretical points. Most importantly, the performance of a regional economy is discussed only in monetary terms such as per capita income or gross regional domestic product, with little attention paid to the life satisfaction of residents in the region. This study investigates an alternative approach for a better understanding of regional disparity. In particular, this study presents a new analytic framework based on the capability approach by Sen. The proposed capability-based analysis of regional disparity emphasizes five aspects of life that may influence residents’ ability to pursue what they want to do or to be. In addition, the results of the proposed simple regression analysis indicate that the marginal effect of income on life satisfaction may be augmented according to the levels of regional capabilities. In this regards, a conventional approach based on income and wealth alone in regional disparity research and policy may overlook important mediating roles of regional capabilities.

Most registered NPOs are subsidized by the government but their learning capacities and financial performance in meeting new social needs in an innovative manner is somewhat limited and even less sustainable. In this article, the authors assume that the learning organization characteristics of NPOs influence their levels of performance and employee satisfaction. An analytical framework that enables a better understanding of the relationship between learning organization and perceived financial performance is proposed. On the basis of the proposed framework, the hypothesis that the learning organization characteristics improve the financial performance of NPOs is empirically tested. The analysis results confirmed that the learning organization characteristics enhance financial performance and employee satisfaction.

The decision-making process for this innovative policy did not always go smoothly because support or consent from opponents was required to implement it. The purpose of this study is to understand the budget process of regional governments of Korea concerning innovative policies, based on the case of the free school meals policy. Since public opinion on the expansion of the free school meals policy to all students was formed after the regional election in 2010, discussions continued regarding when and to what extent the policy should be implemented. The incrementalism model, which values political compromise and mutual adjustment processes, among other budgeting theories, best explains these realities. The model is applied for this study, including base, incrementality, and division and mutual adjustment. The results of this analysis reveal that the budgeting process included political processes and compromise among interested parties. Second, the budget decisions of the Free School Meals Policy were made according to created consensus. This has once again proven that incrementalism is the common budget decision-making model of Korea’s municipal organizations.

NBLS, established in 2000 after the Asian financial crisis of 1997, targets all social strata by supplementing low-income earners and providing a welfare-to-work program. By adopting the regression discontinuity design approach and income- and consumption-based measures in accordance with the main features of NBLS, the presented evaluation results allow us to find that recipients show similar levels of market income, NBLS income (the sum of market income and NBLS pay), disposable income, and consumption expenditure. By using RDD, this study thus concludes that NBLS affects the income and consumption of recipients in Korea.

In this regard, it has been claimed that social policy is a main instrument for enhancing gender equality in developing countries as much as in developed ones; in particular, spending on education and health is more effective than the traditional social protection, mainly cash transfer for income protection. In this context, this paper attempts to test which policy option can improve gender equality in the context of developing countries. For this, we conducted a regression analysis to investigate the role of social policy in narrowing the gender divide in 75 developing countries. The results show, contrary to common assumption, that social protection policies focusing on income protection are significantly effective to reduce the gender gap from a capability perspective, as opposed to policies of spending on public services such as health and education. However, integrated policies in both areas have greater impact on decreasing gender inequality than a single-policy fix.

First, we employed exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to operationalize the variables and to confirm the latent constructs from the relevant survey questions. Second, to confirm the total direct and indirect effects, we employed a full structural equation model (SEM) to test the interrelationships among variables, and to assess the relative strength of each variable. The results of this study demonstrate that ethical and participative leadership behaviors in the Chinese public sector are positively and significantly associated with organizational trust and commitment. Based on a discussion of the main findings, various research and practical implications for public management theory and practice are provided.

During the socialist era, many had fled to the West leaving Leipzig with many empty homes and office buildings. Recently, city officials took advantage of the situation as an opportunity to initiate a period of social transformation. They developed a plan to reposition a city with a surfeit of buildings and space in such a way as to preserve the qualities of that city, seize the opportunities presented by the transformation, and ensure that the city remains exciting, safe, and attractive for its inhabitants. Key projects were initiated to allow people in need of low-cost housing to use legally vacant dwellings. The strategy adopted by Leipzig is not a universal model that can be applied to all cities since each city has its own socio-economic, political, and legal systems that provide a framework for workable solutions. But the way Leipzig faces its challenge could be an inspiration for other cities that might want to borrow only some of the transferable features of the Leipzig solution to design their own responses to a similar problem.

Using the 2006 General Social Survey (GSS) data, this study examines the complex causal paths between empowerment, job enrichment, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. We argue that job satisfaction plays an important role in explaining turnover intention among public employees. Empowerment is significantly indirectly related to turnover intention through its impact on job satisfaction. Likewise, job enrichment is also significantly indirectly related to turnover intention through its impact on job satisfaction.

However, previous research shows that the roles and leadership of city managers are not limited to management only. Although city managers are appointed by elected officials, elected officials and appointed managers interact with each other in overall government and decision making processes. Additionally, city managers have been actively involved in local policy processes as well. This study attempts to empirically examine city managers’ policy influence and the factors that affect this influence. The study finds that there is a cooperative relationship between city managers and elected officials in policy process.

The analysis was carried out with stated preference survey techniques and using a multinomial mixed logit model as well as conventional statistic and regression models. The analysis focused on not only the congestion level and environmental impact, but also equity issues associated with the road user charging scheme. From the estimation results, the scheme has great potential to reduce congestion in this area of natural beauty. However, the potential monetary policy tool also presents an equity problem, because elderly visitors will be more willing to pay the toll and the fee to park at the Information Centre. In other words, elderly visitors are more disadvantaged than other visitors. This example shows how a monetary policy tool causes an uneven effect.

This paper is written from the perspective of increasing civil service competency. A review and explanation of some of China’s most pertinent current models of civil service reform such as those of Jilin, Zhuhai, and Shenzhen will be presented. Those models will also be compared with other traditional civil service systems. Specific points that will be addressed are hiring, wages and termination. The article finally points out that the fundamental future direction of civil service reform is to further rationalize the relationship between the existing civil service system and the government employee system, and then establish and regulate the criteria and procedures regarding civil service recruitment, appraisal, promotion, and exit.

Despite the number of studies, however, there is a lack of good models that incorporate different theories and methods of safety culture.This research presents an integrated model to explain safety culture and to confirm the model by empirical analysis. This paper consists of two parts: First, after reviewing the existing researches on the safety culture, we propose an integrated model of safety culture that includes, vertically, three competing paradigms to explain safety culture - (a) risk perception paradigm, (b) managerialism and (c) organizational culturalism - and, horizontally, designed causal paths that include deep, mediate and outcome variables. Then we discuss the strength and weakness of each competing paradigm. Second, by using survey data comprising the responses of 862 employees at nuclear power stations in Korea, we test the causal paths and integrated models of three competing paradigmsWe empirically confirm the validity of the integrated model, which includes, vertically, theoretical paradigms and, horizontally, causal paths. This integrated model could contribute to establishing a more balanced scheme of safety culture at risky organizations.

Since the publication of Brundtland Report in 1987 and Earth Summit in 1992, the term ‘sustainable development’ became a popular phrase as a new guideline and value to be pursued in every sector of society. In the public sector, it is emerging as an alternative development model in the 21st century and in the private sector, it is being widely adopted as a new business strategy to fulfill business social responsibility. Even with lack of clarity in its meaning, it has been generally agreed that the term ‘sustainable development’ indicates a balanced development of economic, social, and environmental sectors at the same time. Korean society also has been moving toward a sustainable development since the Earth Summit. The pace, however, has been slow and even inconsistent. This paper examines the status of sustainability in Korea from economic, social, and environmental aspect with main emphasis on the environmental area. Literature review and analysis on existing data from various sources were used for this purpose. Having examined the Korean sustainability status, key issues and shortcomings of government response to be addressed to achieve sustainable development were discussed with some policy suggestions.

In particular, inter-ministerial and inter-societal networking is becoming important because of the capacity to regulate complex transactional interdependency in modern administrative states. This paper examined various forms of networks and identified factors that influence the form of governance including asset-specificity, task complexity, transaction continuity, uncertainty, the degree of differentiation, and the Intensity of inter-organizational interdependence. In addition, the role of public institutions in different network governance varies considerably as they tend to play more active roles in vertical networks while a more symmetric relationship arise in horizontal networks among private and public actors. Managing and coordinating complex networks requires a skillful manager of the networked networks. New ICT and public institutions will play an important role as a vertical and horizontal integrator for managing interdependence within and between networks. It is hoped that the framework developed here can be used as a basis for developing and analyzing testable comparative models of inter-organizational coordination or governance mechanisms in the public policy and administration scenes.

This study argues that information about the level of moral reasoning of public employees does not explain how to achieve ethical behavior in organizations. Systematic moral reasoning study and how it relates to other variables is needed. Although some research on moral reasoning exists, it generally focuses on the level of moral reasoning according to gender, race, education, age, and responsibility. The article concludes that the main factors influencing the moral reasoning public employees are the length of service, self-sacrifice, collaborative atmosphere, participative atmosphere, fairness, and ethical climate.

In addition, there is controversy over whether workplace friendship is possible inside bureaucracies. However, the positive potential for both individuals and the organization of having friendships at work may override the negative aspects. This study examines the impact of workplace friendship on employee productivity. Workplace friendship is conceptualized as friendship opportunity and quality of friendship between superior and subordinates. The findings indicate that workplace friendship can lead employees to have positive work attitudes, but the quality of friendship has a stronger influence on positive work attitudes by employees than friendship opportunity. Theoretically, the findings support the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory in terms of emphasizing the importance of workplace friendship to increase the positive work attitudes and performance of employees. The findings imply that organizations may benefit from encouraging friendships among employees.

The Korean innovation survey conducted in 2002 found that government policy has a positive effect on firms R&D overall. In particular, the effect of the public R&D funding and government R&D project participation policy have a positive and significant effect on firms R&D, while tax incentive policy has a negative effect on firms R&D investment. Moreover, the joint effect of the government R&D project participation policy and technical support policy on firms R&D investment is positive. This joint effect implies that a complementary relationship exists between the two policies due to knowledge transfer and spillover.

To evaluate quality of care provided by Medicaid plans in comparison with that of commercial plans, this study used the CAHPS (Consumer Assessment of Health Plan Study) survey, which measured the experiences of patients using frequency report instead of traditional satisfaction measures that are more vulnerable to a response bias. This study found that Medicaid managed care services for children has not yet achieved the goals of providing access to and quality of care equivalent to that of commercial insurance. This study also confirmed potential problems in relying entirely on global ratings or satisfaction measures in assessing quality of care. While global ratings of Medicaid care were as good as and sometimes better than commercial counterparts, Medicaid patients reported worse access to necessary care. Based on the results, implications were drawn for future efforts in assessment and improvement of quality of care for Medicaid patients.

To answer these questions, this paper examines a broad set of government institutions extended to include the size and organization of city councils and standing committees. Our focus is on policy implementation rather than policy enactment and we apply the political market approach to examine how community demands and the political institutions of the supplier government influence how land use regulation is implemented. We focus on implementation of growth management as evidenced by zoning request approvals and regulatory enforcement. Theoretical framework includes the role of local institutions as supplier, political economy demands, and municipal context. For the hypotheses tests, we employ ordered-probit analysis.

We take our clues from the Institutional Collective Action (ICA) framework by highlighting the elements of competition and cooperation in economic development strategies. The general hypothesis is that when local governments decide to cooperate, they are acting strategically to improve their economic competitiveness. The general hypothesis is that when local governments decide to cooperate, they are acting strategically to improve their economic competitiveness. We utilize a series of binary regressions with data collected from a survey of local development officials in 206 cities located in twelve metropolitan areas in the United States. The results provide partial support for our general propositions. We found cooperation has no effect on “go it alone” tax incentive strategies but a positive effect on the use of capital intensive strategies that are crucial for enhancing regional competiveness.

As environmental problems are the first item on the agenda for public policy, it is required to examine environmentalism in the three countries. To conduct empirical research about environmentalism in Korea, Japan, and China, first, we review the existing literature related to environmentalism, especially its determinants, and then we establish the research model. Second, we find out the determinants for environmental attitude by doing a regression analysis. Third, to know the present state of environmental attitude and its determinant factors, we compare the mean scores and their ranks. Finally, to infer the future direction of environmentalism, we draw the past trajectory of change in determinants. In conclusion, we summarized the determinants, state, and trajectory of change across the three countries.

The proposed model was based on the “analytical framework of the institutional elements of evaluation success” suggested by Kim (2006). To test the plausibility of this model, this study conducted a survey of the heads, chief managers and staff members of supporting divisions (management/planning/evaluation), and chief managers of executing divisions (business/ implementation/research) in 44 executive agencies, and structural equation modeling was implemented. These agencies were subject to the Executive Agency evaluation in 2007. The results showed that the model was fitted by the data and, in particular, evaluatee cooperation and evaluation resources strongly influenced process use and results use.

Adaptive reuse projects positively stimulate the local economy through job creation, sustainability, and the preservation of the historic sense of the community. This study empirically tests for externality effects of a church reuse project on nearby housing sale prices in Cleveland, Ohio. Using a hedonic approach that accounts for the spatial dependence, regression results of 2001 - 2002 data are compared to regression results of 2006 - 2007 data. The regression analysis reveals that positive externality effects reached up to 0.25 mile from the reuse project location. The study features a cost/benefit analysis that determined the public subsidy provided by the Cuyahoga County government will be justified by the project in less than 10 years.

At first, this paper shows that since individual actors in firms and universities are used to operating within the different organizational contexts of the norms, goals, and values that shape their practices, the individual actors exhibit different behaviors in collaboration. The individuals tend to fit their behaviors to their organizational context rather than to a policy context. In addition, the policy delivery system of the programs is characterized by a university-oriented mode in which universities exercise considerable power. Thus, in many cases, firms do not have legitimate roles in operating the programs. Due to these problems, in the IAC programs, many barriers to collaboration between policy actors with different organizational cultures occur.

From the perspective of historical institutionalism, it explains that when institutional constraints typified by political parties, bureaucracy, and businesses, yielded strong influences on the government executive, policy reform proved to be difficult and tedious as seen in the reform process of Japan after 1993. However, as seen in the reform process of Japan during the Koizumi government, policy reform process showed positive signs of success as the same institutional constraints have exhibited deterioration and weaknesses since 2003 which made it easy for the Koizumi government to pursue what was necessary in overcoming an economic recession. In particular strong stance of Koizumi against his political party and subsequent announcement of a snap election will be an important milestone for his continuing policy reform efforts.

Substantial decreasing trend of capital investments is observed during the 1970s. Since then, the declining trend has persisted, but it is less skewed. Academic studies pay hardly any attention, however, to the gradual decrease in government investments since 1980s. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of capital investments by local governments. Especially, under the scheme of fiscal decentralization since the early 1980s, fiscal behaviors of local decision-makers are becoming a more important element in local public service choices.To test nine hypotheses, a time series on 58 city governments is constructed for the years 1980–2000. 3SLS (three stage least squares) regression analysis is conducted because the relationship between the level of municipal capital expenditures and local debt outstanding is assumed to be simultaneous. The result shows that more independent fiscal decision-making power in a jurisdiction is associated with less capital spending.

The estimation results show that the fuel price elasticity is -0.631 and -0.645 for diesel cars in Seoul and Ulsan, respectively and the elasticity of purchase price are -1.332 and -1.058 for diesel cars in Seoul and Ulsan, respectively. The estimates of the diesel price elasticity indicate that the government planned fuel policy increasing diesel price from the current 70% to 85% of petrol price will decrease the demand for diesel cars by 13.8% to 23.4% when the petrol price is kept at the current price. The estimate of the purchase price elasticity denotes that the obligation of pollutantreducing equipment on diesel cars (about 10% of the sales price) will reduce the demand for diesel cars by 13.3% to 14.7%.

To answer these questions this paper examines a WTE facility siting case in Korea employing a Hedonic Pricing Method. The study found that the following variables impact the value of housing: distance to parks, distance to the WTE facility, the number of parking lots per apartment, and total number of floors in the apartment. With regard to the variable Distance to WTE Facility Site, only apartments located within 300m showed a statistically significant relationship. These results support the current government compensation policy that households located within 300m from a WTE facility are eligible to receive fringe benefits including reduction of heating cost, free of charge, and discounted welfare facilities.

Abstract: Many policy makers accept empirical results as ‘facts’ without questioning the limitations of the summary statistics. The most infamous example of such would be the use of Gini as a ‘proof’ of worsening levels of income inequality after the Foreign Currency Crisis in 1998. The fundamental question that should be asked before anything is whether the change in inequality is statistically significant, and rightly so in such a way that would command immediate government intervention.The income inequality trend shows that the changes in the Gini coefficient are statistically significant at a 90% level between 1991 and 2001. On the other hand, the trend of Gini based on total expenditure of all households, which could be interpreted as representing the wellbeing of households, shows no significant changes throughout the periods. Gini Coefficient and the standard errors are estimated using the simple OLS estimation method as suggested by Giles (2002) based on Urban Household Income and Expenditure Survey.

Surprisingly little research has examined on copyright behavior. Data was gathered from the 681 questionnaires on three groups consisting of public officials, researchers and, university students. As a research model, the theory of planned behavior (TPB) was utilized which was the most influential framework for the study of human action. According to TPB, human behavior is guided by three kinds of belief: behavioral belief, normative belief and control belief. For the purpose of analysis the causes affecting the copyright behavior were identified on the basis of the TPB model and built the Structural Equation Model (SEM). As an analysis technique, LISREL of Maximum Likelihood (ML) was utilized for this study. The research findings indicate that the copyright protection requires the intention to protect the copyright, and such intention appears to be affected by (i) the attitude toward the copyright behavior, (ii) subjective norms for the copyright protection and (iii) the perceived behavioral control.

Grasping New Public Governance as a Political-Administrative System Abstract: New participatory, interactive, and less direct forms of governing seem currently to be unfolding in many liberal democracies. Some scholars have tried to conceptualize these forms of governing by using the notion of new public governance (NPG). While promising, the notion remains conceptually underdeveloped. This article first aims to develop NPG from an empirical to an analytical concept that enables categorization and evaluation of new forms of governing. In order to gauge the full scope of the current transformations we draw on David Easton’s system theoretical model to identify the constitutive elements of NPG and show how they differ from those elements underpinning classical public administration and new public management. The second aim of the article is to delineate the main challenges that NPG poses for public management and policymaking in a complex and fragmented world. We conclude by reflecting on the need for metagovernance in order to handle the challenges and bring out the positive impact of NPG on normative performance goals such as efficiency, democracy, and innovation.

Drawing on a set of cross-jurisdictional network case studies (Australia and the United States), this paper examines the influence of the type of network formed and the impact of network actors on the operational dynamics and performance of the network. The paper argues that the interplay of these factors will determine the degree to which a network will or will not be successful. The findings extend current network typologies by specifying a network identification level and highlight the intermediary role of agency in network performance. The paper concludes with the view that there is a continued need for holistic research approaches that uncover the often hidden interconnections between components and highlight the emergent phenomena that can arise from these intersections.

A Balanced Assessment of the Belgian Network “Crossroads Bank for Enterprises” Abstract: This article assesses and explains the performance of the Belgian network of the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (CBE), representing the mandated “network administrative organization form” (Kenis and Provan, 2009). We address the following questions: To what degree is the mandated network able to reduce the complexity that arises from the fragmented nature of public service delivery? Does the hierarchical nature of the mandate help to obtain the desired production, process, and regime performance? What is the impact of the hybrid nature of the arrangement on the performance? Could this analysis help us to improve the performance assessment of types of networks? To cope with these questions, we apply the framework of Voets et al. (2010) to the case of the CBE. Although partly successful and effective, the network did not generate the desired outputs. Explanations for the lack of performance are found in the complex process of interacting network dimensions.

In this paper these sectors are conceptualized as publicly governed networks of organization executives, supervisory boards, regulatory agencies, and governmental representatives. This type of network is approached as a complex adaptive system. A theoretical framework is set up to determine under which conditions the networks fail. The predictive and explanatory power of the framework is tested in a particular case, namely the Dutch public housing sector. The Dutch central state has applied both new public management and network governance techniques to promote self-regulating and responsible operation of the housing corporations. At this moment, all participants critique this transformation because of continuing organizational breakdowns and inability of the network to correct failures in advance. A conclusion is that ill-considered network governance engenders drawbacks and might even escalate into a sector crisis.

Both areas consider emotions in the workplace, and emotion cannot be separated from today’s organizational life. Theoretically, an emotionally intelligent person may enhance his or her performance of emotion work in the service arena. Thus far, few studies have empirically examined the relationship between emotional intelligence and emotion work in the public service arena. This study examines the model of emotional intelligence and emotion work in a sample of public service employees representing a broad variety of jobs. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to empirically test the hypothesized model. The findings show that emotional intelligence plays a partially significant role in the performance of emotion work. Others’ emotional awareness and self-emotional management were found to be variables related to performance of emotion work.

For enhanced interagency collaboration, this study deals with the important but neglected issue of cultural differences between the agencies, departing from the typical structural and legal viewpoints. As the result of a qualitative analysis, the study found substantive cultural differences between the agencies in terms of three categories: priority of mission, attention to information disclosure, and dominant professional culture. This finding implies that the limited collaboration between the agencies probably has resulted from their cultural differences, and that such cultural differences should be reconciled to improve collaboration in the future.

It seeks to identify the potential links between decentralization (devolution) and three specified dimensions of poverty by working out a conceptual framework. The framework upholds that through regional targeting and economic efficiency, decentralization might lead to improvements in economic growth, which may in turn reduce absolute poverty (1st link). Regional targeting and economic efficiency may at the same time also accrue in improved provision of public services, which may result a decrease in the prevailing extent of relative deprivation (2nd link). In addition, through increased participation and representation, decentralization might empower the impoverished and disadvantaged and give them a voice in the decision-making process, which may ultimately lead to a reduction in deprivation of certain capabilities (e.g., political, economic, and sociocultural capabilities) (3rd link). It is interesting to point out that the various benefits accruing from decentralization not only directly relate to a specific dimension of poverty but are, at the same time, also indirectly correlated to other dimensions.

Using archival and survey data from U.S. federal agencies and Korean central agencies, this comparative research found that the impact of leadership behavior on employees’ attitude to their work is reduced when public agencies in both countries face high levels of some types of organizational uncertainty. In situations of a high level of uncertainty, there are similarities and differences in effective leadership behavior between Korean public agencies and U.S federal agencies.

As influencing factors, we consider political determinants and fiscal conditions. Using panel data analysis, we find that partisan controls in the governorship, the state House, and the state Senate have a significant impact on SCHIP spending at the state level. Also, empirical results show that fiscal conditions—fiscal capacity, fiscal effort, and federal matching grants—are significant factors in predicting spending and coverage. A high fiscal effort has a positive impact on SCHIP spending and coverage. Also, we find that federal matching grants have a strong substitution effect on the state’s SCHIP spending. In addition to direct effects, this study tests two-way interaction terms between independent variables.

This research investigates how confidence in government management capability (CGMC), cognitive evaluation of earthquake risk (CER), and fear as a mediator can promote intention to participate in earthquake response training (IPERT). Data were collected through surveys distributed to Seoul residents at 25 district offices (n=1,148) in Korea. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM), with valid measurements tested by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). CGMC plays an important role in increasing IPERT directly and indirectly. While CER does not increase IPERT directly, it indirectly increases IPERT via the mediation of fear.

It starts from the puzzle that South Korea could successfully maintain its screen quotas until it decided to cut them by half in 2006. The study argues that South Korean chief negotiators have used the US pressure to cut screen quotas as leverage in bilateral talks. This proves the point that heightened foreign pressure can enhance the policy autonomy of domestic chief negotiators, by consequence if not by design. Amid the US pressures to scrap the screen quotas, inter-ministry frictions arose among the Ministry of Strategy and Finance (formerly the Ministry of Finance and Economy), the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism (formerly the Ministry of Culture and Tourism), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (formerly the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade). While bureaucrats from the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism have tenaciously adhered to a preservation of the screen quotas, those from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have continuously cast doubt on this protectionist policy. On the other hand, bureaucrats from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, far from the other two ministries’ consistent preferences, have altered their actual policy preferences with respect to the screen quotas in the same period. A key goal of this study is to test the following statement: the greater the US pressure to cut the screen quotas became, the wider the range of policy autonomy South Korean chief negotiators would exercise.

Further, the circular nature of corruption requires a more nuanced understanding of the complexities involved. We argue that understanding the determinants of perceptions of corruption, defined in more refined ways, holds promise in suggesting solutions for reducing corruption. To that end, we developed a model that seeks to answer two important questions: (1) what factors influence citizen perceptions of corruption, and how do they differ in relation to two different sets of government actors? And (2) in what ways might factors affecting perceptions of corruption interact to yield moderated relationships? Using the responses to a survey from 2500 citizens in Spain in 2009, we tested the model and found that personal characteristics, attitudes and media exposure have predicted differences in accounting for perceptions of corruption for different government actors. Beyond these direct findings, analysis of interactions of these explanatory factors revealed moderated relationships that have additional implications for public administrators and scholars interested in curbing corruption.

Abstract: There is a growing interest in understanding how religion affects corruption. Many empirical studies have suggested that countries with strong hierarchical religions (such as Islam, Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity) are more likely to suffer from corruption. These results are, however, controversial, largely due to the lack of empirical validity of the causal (or theoretical) links that explain such a relationship: obedience to authority, negative culture reinforcement, amoral familism and trust intermediation. Using the fourth wave World Values Survey (n = 87,988) of 64 countries, this study constructed a general estimation equation model to evaluate these four causal links after controlling for heterogeneity of individuals’ religious beliefs among the 64 countries. We did not find strong evidentiary support for the causal explanations.

Drawing on Simon’s two-factor theory, as well as employing a systematic conceptual and empirical model, this research analyzes two dimensions of TI among public employees (conflictual TI and developmental TI) to identify important antecedents and mediating conditions (pull factors and push factors) of TI. Large data sets from the Merit Principles Survey (MPS) are used to develop an ‘antecedent-mediator-outcome’ model that empirically analyzes and tests the direct and indirect effects of a set of attitudinal and behavioral influences on JS and two types of TI within US federal agencies. The research finds that certain predictors and mediators play major roles in meaningfully diminishing the levels of conflictual TI and developmental TI while significantly boosting JS. Based on a discussion of the main findings, research and practical implications for public management theory and practice are provided.

The purpose of the study is to fill the void by focusing on the mentor-protégé relationship and its effect on mentoring outcomes. Given the complexity of psychological interactions between mentor and protégé, this study examined the influence of the mentor-protégé affinity on mentoring outcomes both directly and indirectly through developmental networking. The results found that the mentor and protégé affinity did not have a direct impact on mentoring outcomes. Instead, its effects were fully mediated by internal and external developmental networking, which were the direct predictors of mentoring outcomes. This implies that finding a good match between mentor and protégé is important, but it is effective to mentoring outcomes only through the establishment of developmental networking.

Budgetary participation and employees’ performance have been extensively researched in both private sector organizations and from the perspective of top management. We investigated the phenomenon in public sector organizations and from the point of view of lower level participating employees. We gleaned empirical data from 114 respondents in public sector organizations in Lampung, Indonesia, and analyzed it using SmartPLS to test our hypotheses. We found that in the course of budgetary participation, employees’ expectancy attitude, in the light of the expectancy theory and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, predicted employees’ behavior, and had a significant impact on their self-efficacy and performance. Employees’ voice and interpersonal trust in the budget construction process would reap optimal benefit for the organization when participating employees perceive their participation to be objectively appreciated and encouraged by top management. The study has implications for top management’s role in the budget construction process, and contributes to the management accounting literature in the context of the public sector in developing countries.

However, since that research was able to confirm the four-dimensional structure of PSM, it can provide a starting point for studying PSM in a single country. This study aimed to develop an item pool for measuring PSM in Korea. Online survey data (n = 1800), collected from both the public and private sectors, were used to test measurement invariance to validate the use of the measure across genders and sectors. The results provide support for both the initial four-dimensional 29-item PSM model and the more concise 16-item PSM model, confirming that the dimensions have the same meaning and scaling across genders and sectors in Korea.

This study mainly investigates how pay systems affects the job attitude of employees. Drawing on theory and prior studies, this paper hypothesizes that public manager’s job attitudes differ between agencies where pay-for-performance mechanism is adopted (PFP system) and those with no such system (GS system), expecting that public employees’ attitude is more influenced by monetary rewards in the former than in the latter. Hierarchical linear modeling with large-scale survey data is utilized to test the hypotheses. Consistent with expectations, the analytical results reveal that employee work satisfaction is more determined by extrinsic rewards in the PFP than in the GS system. This study discussed the empirical findings and implications in the paper.

By analyzing the perceptions of 250 civil servants in 15 regional branches of Ministry of Finance of Indonesia, and using structural equation analysis with SmartPLS 2.0 program, the findings reveal that career development has positive direct influence on perceived organizational support, motivation, and affective commitment. However, career development has no direct influence on performance. The indirect examination shows that mediating variables are perceived to have significant influence in strengthening that relationship. These findings theoretically imply that career development may be dependent on the extent to which organization is capable of providing perceived organizational support and motivation in promoting affective commitment and performance. Practically, these findings reveal the importance of both Indonesian’s central and local government to implement performance-based rewards.

The role of cultural and social values in shaping fertility intention Abstract: Most industrialized societies have come up with a wide range of policy measures to boost their fertility rates, largely by making fertility behavior economically attractive. While previous research provides cultural and social explanations for fertility decisions, this paper highlights the role of cultural and social values as a moderator between family policy and fertility intention. From a multilevel analysis of ISSP, two findings emerged: first, fertility intentions of individuals are less responsive to family policies that provide financial incentives for such behaviors. Second, governmental expenditure on the family has a positive influence on the fertility intentions of individuals only when they already have a conservative attitude toward gender roles and marriage. These findings raise a fundamental question about the assumptions of mainstream family policy and highlight the importance of taking cultural values into account in family policy design, especially when the aim is to influence individuals’ fertility intentions.

For this analysis, we utilize the Ministry of Employment Labor’s database, using data collected from 306,410 ALMP participants from 2006 to the first quarter of 2012. According to our analysis, 4.4–12.9% of ALMP participants are likely to be in the ‘welfare trap.’ The probability of falling into the welfare trap is affected by individual characteristics. For instance: the elderly, women, and highly educated people are shown to be particularly vulnerable. Moreover, when ALMPs’ benefits are larger than the official minimum wage, individuals tend to stay in the job programs longer. At the same time, if a participant lives in a district with more people in the welfare trap, he or she is less likely to exit from ALMPs. Despite the fairly significant proportion of participants shown to have fallen into the welfare trap, most of the cases are not due to moral hazard or generously designed financial incentives; rather, our research suggests that people with a lower level of job capacity for the private labor market cannot but stay longer in ALMPs.

It records that public enterprises were initially highly efficient “spearheads” of growth and prosperity in the country, but that they were subsequently subject to considerable political interference. This had a very negative effect on their autonomy and performance and, in the last 20 years, their plight has been responded to through a series of privatization initiatives. Overall, there are important lessons for the use and control of public enterprises in other countries.

Privatization in the Small Island State of Malta Abstract: This final article in the symposium considers the end of state paternalism in Malta. Such paternalism through the extensive use of public enterprises and other arrangements had become an accepted and expected way of life. In 1999, however, the government declared its commitment to a policy of widespread privatization, to a large degree in response to a sizeable public deficit and the country’s bid to join the European Union at the next round of EU enlargement. The unions and local entrepreneurs in particular remain unconvinced that, given the country’s small size and a lack of strong foreign investment, privatization will deliver the various benefits envisaged by the government.

It has been argued inter alia that uniform national standards would facilitate benchmarking and other performance comparisons across local government jurisdictions. Whilst there is undoubted validity in principle to the contention that benefits would flow from a uniform national approach to local government, these arguments nevertheless ignore the tremendous diversity characteristic of Australian local government. This paper seeks to demonstrate that local government in Australia exhibits a large degree of diversity both within and between states and territories. Moreover, we attempt to show that inexorable demographic, employment and infrastructural trends are underway which will ensure that the diversity will not only continue, but also increase. Accordingly, although the imposition of uniform national standards may seem attractive at first sight, the actual implementation of these standards seems to be neither feasible nor desirable.

Abstract: This article addresses the question: Is a global ethics possible? The authors suggest developing a global ethics is a subject of critical importance to the practice of public administration. Ethics is important in public administration, especially at the international level. However the form and pace of globalization—rapidly changing the very nature of work in both the public and private sectors—are removing many familiar organizational, regional and even cultural norms and ethics. Considering the world’s diversity, is it even logical to assume that a universally accepted global ethics is possible? The authors propose that it is both logical and possible. The article first summarizes the ideas of the most noted scholar on global ethic—Hans Kung. It next presents an abbreviated explanation of the common spiritual wisdom literature, which is built on the five largest religious traditions. The article then applies the Kung criteria set to the spiritual wisdom literature and concludes that it is a viable candidate for being considered a universal global ethics.

This paper analyzes and discusses the structural changes of the central state apparatus, and provides implications to the constraints and opportunities of administrative reforms in Japan and Korea. Applying the ‘bureau-shaping model’ of Patrick Dunleavy, we find substantive validity for the bureau-shaping strategy in both countries; both state apparatus have been shaping their delivery agencies into transfer, contract and control agencies. However, the degree of changes was not enough (especially, in Japan) to strongly test the hypotheses of the bureau-shaping model. Now, structural changes of the state apparatus in both countries are expected to be more radical than those in past years. And the explanatory power of the bureau-shaping model is anticipated to be greater in the future.

Distinguishing features of this transformation have been the pervasive sharing of responsibility for the delivery of publicly-financed services and the exercise of governmental authority with a host of what Salamon (1995) called “third parties” which include local governments, quasi-autonomous (regulatory) agencies, quangos, nonprofit organizations, public enterprises, and other private institutions. Not only has the state transformed the way it provides many vital and peripheral public services by privatizing or contracting out to private agencies, but also substantial changes have been made as to how it makes policy by forming a more ‘inclusive policy network’ rather than the usual ‘exclusive network.’ By examining the changes in both the scale of government activity and the proliferation of new ‘tools’ of government actions, one can detect a fundamental transformation in the way the state operates in both the policy formulation and implementation stages. The changes brought by these three factors require a new thinking on terms ‘public management’ and ‘public responsibility’ in Korea. Privatization of public services in a board sense, the utilization of advisory committees, and the growing influence of NGOs have caused the public and private sectors to have multiple and overlapping responsibilities. Thoughts must to be given to how public values and probity can be preserved while maintaining and improving safeguards against increased opportunities for bureaucratic and political behavior.

The outbreak of a deadly virus in Hong Kong in 1998 caused considerable anxiety in the community, and the response of the government could not satisfy the expectations of the public. The case of the Bird Flu highlights a number of issues related to the arrangements and procedures for managing crisis in general, and planning and coordination for execution on a specific level. The efforts to alleviate public anxiety were affected by the lack of political direction as well as the failure to ensure confidence through effective public communication. The effective management of such crises requires the existence of an open system of public communication and collaboration between the government and the community on the basis of political direction.

The primary hypothesis is “Ethical sensitivity will be low.” Main results are as follows. First, the low ethical sensitivity of respondents was identified. Second, the free ticket case showed a different pattern from the other two cases, fund raising and mangled data. In the open-ended situation, respondents picked up more ethical dimensions. Third, public administrators are ethically less sensitive in situations related to organizational hierarchy. Fourth, the ethical sensitivity level of people may differ in terms of situational, organizational, or individual characteristics.

Economists, geographers, and other social scientists have examined the effects of innovation on economic growth, the factors associated with the production of innovations, and the geographic distribution of innovations. Jane Jacobs notes that the capacity to innovate is a product of a local environment or milieu that attracts talented people and is open and creative. Following Jacobs, this paper argues that innovation is a joint product of human capital and creativity. The capacity to innovate is seen to be a function of a region’s ability to attract human capital and to provide low barriers to entry for talented and creative people of all backgrounds. Multivariate models are used to test the joint effects of research and development expenditure, human capital, creativity/diversity, and industry mix on regional innovation. New measures of creativity (the bohemian index) and diversity (the gay index) are introduced. The findings suggest that innovation at the regional level is positively and significantly associated with both human capital and creativity.

The purpose of PART is not simply to evaluate the program, but to use the assessment results in crafting the budget, which differentiates this system from other general policy assessments. Even though the PART assessment has been performed annually since 2004, research into and an examination of whether the program budget is increasing or decreasing based on this result hasn’t yet been done. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify whether the annual program assessment results affected the future budgets of programs during the official introduction of PART, from 2004 to 2007. The conclusions suggest that the PART results had an impact on the budget adjustments for 2004 and 2007. However, it did not have a meaningful impact in 2006. This means that PART was effectively incorporated into the crafting of the budget in the early stage, but as it started to settle into standard usage, the impacts on the budget disappeared. In 2007, system enhancements were completed, so PART could again be applied to budget determination. PART therefore had a temporary renewed impact, but it is difficult guarantee the long-term effect. In order to obtain an effective system for the long term, it is necessary to constantly evaluate the system’s operating situation and conduct system improvements. In addition, the PART results don’t affect the National Assembly’s budget adjustment process. In order to fully incorporate PART into the governmental budgetary system, the final decision maker of the budget, the National Assembly, should respect the PART results and reflect these in the budget. A systematic effort to make budget allocations based on the PART result needs to be undertaken not only by the Administration, but by the National Assembly as well.

Based on a transaction cost politics perspective, this research investigates how city governments’ selection of service production is influenced by political actors’ calculation of political efficacy. Empirical analysis lends support for the idea that the choice of service production arrangements is an outcome of interaction among four political actors - elected officials, managers, line employees, and constituents -who each strategically promote their self-interested career goals in the political process. Controlling for service characteristics, community characteristics, and market size, evidence reveals that changes in service production arrangements are influenced by political and administrative institutions as well the economic situations of citizens.

To measure the level of personal information capacity - the general capacity of an individual to perceive, access, and use ICT - several indices such as ICT perception index, access index, usage capacity index, quantitative usage index, qualitative usage index, and personal information capacity index are used in this study. Empirical analyses are conducted for two groups - disabled and non-disabled people. The results suggest that personal information capacity index scores are lower for disabled persons than for non-disabled. Empirical results by OLS regression and path models also show that the perceived usefulness of ICT is a very important factor in the digital divide between disabled and non-disabled people. Thus, this study implies that understanding the digital divide between both groups requires attention to the perceived usefulness of ICT.

Different attitudes toward the same information technology, the National Educational Information System (NEIS), brought out social conflicts in Korea. This article argues that social relations and cultural biases influenced stakeholders’ positions in this policy conflict. Our analysis begins by reviewing Cultural Theory, developed by Mary Douglas and Aaron Wildavsky. Then we show how, to a large extent, four cultural biases (hierarchy, egalitarianism, individualism, and fatalism) are supported by five stakeholder groups (three teacher groups, bureaucrats, and private system developers). Finally we find that, having different cultural biases, the five groups show different attitudes toward technology acceptance and risk perception as well as different emotional responses. Our analysis is based on empirical survey data from 628 employees sampled from five stakeholder groups.

Powerful arguments have been made regarding the information problem associated with direct democracy. In an increasingly complex world, citizens have trouble gathering enough information to make decisions on complicated issues. E-government offers a unique opportunity to solve, at least partially, the information problem. Granting access to information and services, e-government allows citizens to become more acquainted with the governing process.In order to assess the potentiality of extending e-government I created an index of E-government Potentiality. This index is constructed through the combination of diverse variables (education index; main telephone lines per 100 inhabitants; estimated PC per 100 inhabitants; and Internet users per 100 inhabitants). It is then compared with the actual use of e-government in the region (data came from West et al 2002). Surprisingly, there is not a direct proportional relation between those countries with high potentiality and those with actual broad use of e-government.The theoretical claim used to explain the lack of this relationship comes from the hypothesis that in developing countries where citizens are more satisfied with their democracy and have high degrees of interpersonal trust, the political will—a critical variable pointed out by the e-government literature—is not strong enough to engage in costly reforms and develop e-government. In other words, politicians lack enough incentives to alter the status quo. Why should they change if most people are basically satisfied with the state of affairs? Where countries have high levels of interpersonal trust and citizens are satisfied with democracy, e-government is less likely to develop.

A major point in their concerns is that we need to understand that, managing e-government is as important as building it. Under the circumstances, the notion of evaluation naturally arose and quickly took its place in policy makers’ minds. It has been only a few years since systematic evaluations have been developed and applied to real evaluations. Although there are many critical issues related to evaluating more effectively and successfully, this study addresses how to utilize the results of the evaluation. Unless the findings are utilized to correct problems in the process of building an e-government, policy makers will not know whether they are on the right track in implementing programs and policies. To this end, this study examines the current state of e-government evaluation in Korea and to what uses the evaluation results are put in building an effective e-government. This study also offers a set of suggestions to improve the use of the evaluation in the decision-making process. In so doing, it examines three major theoretical explanations for evaluation utilization and discusses several real problems related to utilizing results of evaluations.

The EGK is an agenda propelled by the President’s determination and leadership. Scrutinized for three months after its formulation, the Presidential Committee of E-Government in Korea finally selected eleven projects among agencies with interconnected business processes and coordinated them oriented to a single window portal by strengthening a government-wide information-sharing center. The EGK will deliver government services to anyone at any time in any place. It consists of four government-to-citizen and government-to-business services in the front office, four government-to-government services in the back office, and three infrastructure projects for e-government. Top-down and supply-side approaches, which are typical in mega-projects in Korea, are applied to the development and deployment of e-government services. Those approaches can contribute to implementing e-government services to citizens within the stated timeframe. They are expected to enhance government officials’ responsiveness to citizens and the efficiency and effectiveness of public administration, which will result in fundamental changes in public service. These approaches, too, may create some unexpected weaknesses that prove a deterrent to mature e-government. It is desirable to have a well-prepared post-implementation plan.

Citizen participation can be implemented in several stages. However, previous studies have focused on a limited number of aspects of citizen participation in environmental governance. This paper surveys the entire process of citizen participation and elaborates a new typology of citizen participation in environment governance. The paper then examines citizen participation in the case of Metropolitan Ulsan. The City of Ulsan is one of the most polluted cities in the country, and citizen participation activities have been popular. This paper suggests some policy implications for citizen participation in the environmental governance.

Abstract: Previous contingent valuation studies have paid attention to individual socioeconomic variables that affect a willingness to pay (WTP) for the quality of environmental assets. Focusing on the upstream vs. downstream regional conflict of the Nakdong River area in Korea, this study examined whether, how, and why people living in different regions have different levels of water quality measurement. This study employed contingent valuation method by asking people how much they were willing to pay for water quality. This study concluded that the regional factors were stronger than individual factors in explaining the measures of WTP for water quality. Different interests vested in each region proved a major determinant in valuing water quality. Specifically, the upstream people with regional concern for economic development had much higher willingness to pay for water quality than had downstream people, who had regional concern for environmental protection.

Using data from 234 employees of two Korean central government agencies, this study examined the causal relationships of organizational practices with trust and role ambiguity in influencing organizational commitment composed of affective, continuance, and normative commitments. This study also examined the effect of organizational commitment on altruism. Results of Linear Structural Relations(LISREL) analyses showed that human resource-oriented practices, such as career development and training, are more directly related to affective and normative commitment, while organizational process-oriented practices, such as communication and participation in decision-making, are indirectly related to them through role ambiguity and trust. However, no hypothesized antecedent was found to affect significantly continuance commitment. As an outcome of organizational commitment, altruism was predicted by affective commitment and role ambiguity. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the nature of organizational commitment in the public sector and provide useful theoretical and practical implications for the elicitation of desirable attitudes and behaviors among government employees.

This study asks whether this competitive approach reflects true innovation. This paper argues that there are problems associated with the managed competition system. Findings include: i) The enormous success may not be as large as it seems due to the measurement errors; ii) The process was not based on the strict bidding system but on the Request for Proposals; iii) Large numbers of city employees had to be laid-off; and iv) There are other associated problems such as vendor noncompliance and conflict between contractors. The analysis suggests that although the managed competition arrangements may appear very successful, the approach is in fact, a new way of dealing with the issue with different set of problems.

For a systematic framework for e-government service, this article adopts a business model approach and develops an e-government service model. Based on the analysis of business model researches and a comparison between e-business and e-government service, the paper defines and identifies the characteristics of the components of an e-government service model. These components are objectives, value proposition, service offering, activity configuration, and financial sustainability. Based on this framework, the authors perform a case analysis of the electronic services in the offices of the presidents of Korea and the U.S.A.

Focusing on two perspectives of an actor’s recognition of his or her objectives, and actors’ proactive actions, this paper argues that civil society was not merely a reactor to the structural powers. Nor was it simply a prisoner to the structural environment. Instead, the paper contends that civil society was a proactive agent that transformed the structural contexts through the cognitive shift.

An Introduction to the Special Issue Abstract: Nonprofit organizations perform some of the most important functions in society that support and strengthen communities. They have broad missions and touch nearly every aspect of our lives. Donors, funders, and the general public have escalated their demand for information regarding nonprofit performance, and thus demand for nonprofit accountability has also increased. While the academic study of nonprofit organizations is a relatively recent phenomenon, the explosive growth in the number and variety of nonprofits around the world, the expansion of nonprofit regulation, and the increased financial pressures necessitate our understanding this complicated accountability environment. The term accountability does not have a universally accepted definition; these four articles examine this concept from different viewpoints and in different contexts.

The Purpose of Online Technologies for Nonprofits Abstract: Transparency and accountability are two issues that are ubiquitous for nonprofits. Today, the application of these issues has moved from solely traditional mediums to include online technologies. Through content analyses of nonprofit websites and in-depth interviews, this paper seeks to determine if nonprofit leaders see a conceptual connection between transparency and accountability and their online communication mediums. It was found that most still visualize online communication tools as a medium to push information out to stakeholders. In addition, a pattern was found between an executive director’s conceptualization of the purpose of online tools and the organization’s use of its website with regard to the amount of information it provided and the tools it adopted.

Transparency is a symbol for accountability and a critically important dimension of nonprofit organizations, which are private and voluntary but chartered by government for public purposes. Federal policy aimed at nonprofit transparency relies on formal regulation, and some guidance can be drawn from examining nonprofit regulation in comparison to the formal regulatory schemes designed to ensure transparency of public sector government agencies. However, formal transparency regulation of nonprofits is not as extensive as that of the public sector, and current illustrations from the nonprofit arena indicate that formal regulation does not address typical public concerns about nonprofit transparency. Instead, nonprofits may need to turn to normative sector values, including trust and collaboration, in order to be considered transparent in the current environment.

Using data gathered through interviews with nonprofit executives from organizations currently accredited by the Council on Accreditation, this article explores why some nonprofit organizations choose to become accredited, the benefits associated with accreditation, and the challenges or drawbacks. The article also examines how the performance and quality improvement standards associated with the accreditation process can serve as tools to institutionalize the process of gathering and using performance measurement data in nonprofit organizations.

Abstract: The article draws on exploratory research on the accountability and transparency of nonprofit organizations, using Germany as an example. In terms of accountability and transparency requirements, so frequently put forth and debated in the U.S., the UK, and other countries where nonprofits play major roles in social service delivery and public sector reform, the German case presents somewhat of a puzzle: while nonprofits account indeed for a sizable share of social service delivery, and while some of the world´s largest nonprofit conglomerates are in Germany, initial findings suggest an apparent “non-problem.” Both accountability and transparency requirements in the German nonprofit sector are rather low and largely part of formalistic reporting to tax authorities. What is more, there is a general paucity of available information on nonprofit organizations, combined with low levels of awareness among stakeholders as to potential accountability and transparency problems, and a lack of political will among nonprofit representatives and policymakers to change the status quo. In conclusion, we propose five theses to help explain this seeming paradox.

However, the scope of government-citizen collaboration has been limited to the trust that citizens hold toward their government. True collaborative governance would not work effectively if public servants did not have trust in citizens and were unwilling to engage with them in the public administration process. Given the small number of studies on the trust of public servants in citizens, we measure the trust in citizens by South Korean central government officials and analyze its determinants. Drawing upon surveys of about 250 public servants in South Korea’s central government, this study finds that factors affecting public servants’ trust in citizens are ranked as follows: their individual propensity to trust, their perception of citizens’ integrity, their engagement in coordination relations with citizens, their perception of citizens’ trust in government functions, their perception of citizens’ benevolence, and their engagement in command relations with citizens.

To perform this assessment, this study analyzes relationships between characteristics of the Weberian model of bureaucracy and government performance in nations possessing different levels of democratic development. The key finding of this research is that the Weberian characteristic of bureaucratic professionalism is most strongly and positively associated with good government performance in nations where democracy is less developed. This can have special implications for developing countries, where democracy is usually not well established and furnishing good governance with a well-functioning bureaucracy is an urgent goal for effective implementation of development programs.

Albany 2030 is a comprehensive master plan as well as the process of collaborative visioning in creating the plan. The Albany 2030 process brought previously underrepresented groups into participatory, collaborative visioning. A shared vision was formulated from citizens’ views. New, effective techniques engaged various participants in the process. While the city and participants boast of the overall success of the community visioning, the practice leaves room to further improve public deliberation for community visioning.

The Effectiveness of U.S. Voluntary Environmental Programs Abstract: This study identifies the factors and their associated motivations that can influence corporate environmental performance in U.S. voluntary environmental programs (VEPs). The effectiveness of the programs is discussed. We construct an ordered logit regression model to estimate the voluntary environmental performance of 330 firms that participated in the Green Lights/Energy Star for Buildings (GL/ESBs) program between 1995 and 2000. Our analysis suggests that corporate participants with motives that are aligned with market interests are more likely to complete their environmental pledges to a higher level than those whose primary intent is to relieve institutional and regulatory pressures. It also provides strong evidence of corporate opportunism in the program.

Knowledge-based innovation, the spirit of making things better and more sustainable using intellectual aspects, is essentially a transformation strategy for developing countries to shape their competitive standing in the present globalized environment. But Bangladesh is far behind the expected level of a knowledge-based innovative society. Lack of advanced education and technology, lack of combination of theory and practice and knowledge-sharing mechanisms, lack of proper financing in industry, lack of mutual interaction between university and industry, lack of an innovative role played by government and constructive regulatory control are among the factors diminishing the country’s strength to move towards knowledge-based innovation and global advancement. According to the Triple Helix model of knowledge-based innovation, interaction among different actors of three sectors—university, industry, and government—generates a country’s innovation process as well as its development progress. Therefore, it is essential for Bangladesh to go beyond the obsolete approach of development to establish a modern and knowledge-based innovation system. This study focuses on the applicability of a knowledge-based innovation system in the context of Bangladesh, and attempts to sketch out a suitable model for knowledge-based innovation in the perspective of Bangladesh.

The authors argue that HRM practices contribute to increased organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and job involvement, and that these work attitudes are positively related to organizational performance. Evidence is presented to suggest that work attitudes mediate relationships between HRM practices and organizational performance, with certain HRM practices being associated with improved work attitudes. Implications for future research are also discussed.

This policy action featured a policy paradox involving the Korean government’s paternalistic intervention in farmers’ decisions. Although this paternalism was legally justified, the public criticized the extravagant expenditure to achieve an FMD-free country, and environmental, religious, and civic organizations opposed the indiscriminate slaughter of animals. In the end, the Korean government declared the end of the Andong FMD disaster and publicly announced the policy termination upon the country’s return to being FMD clean. This policy paradox was reinforced by Korea’s populist populism, in which the policy was initiated for economic reasons to recover the country’s devastated livestock farming, not as a consequence of farmers’ united or organized political revolt. This populism was originally captured by Korean politicians’ compassion for those undergoing economic hardship and by the Korean media’s and netizens’ sympathetic attitudes toward farmers. In addition, the populism paved a middle path or an acquittal of the paternalistic policy. Eventually the slaughtering and compensation policy became more perplexing and self-contradictory.

This paper is the first trial for studying on key social, economic, and natural conditions affecting communes’ adoption of the NRD and factors impacting on rural households’ income based on the NRD’s implementation criteria using a Heckman Selection model to substantiate the NRD’s performance of increasing rural households’ income. The estimation model signifies that the poverty rate has a negative impact on the NRD’s adoption in contrast to geographical aspects, average ages, and cooperative variables. At the outcome estimation, rural infrastructure development and technology transfer exert a strong influence on rural households’ earnings. This implies that promoting investments in infrastructure and technology transfer are crucial for rural development, especially with the income increase purposes.

This study analyzes not only the impact of surface- and deep-level diversity but also the moderating effects of cooperative team culture on team innovation. For the study, we collected data from 360 teams within 25 district offices in Seoul. The finding reveals that value diversity has a negative effect on team innovation. In other words, as the level of value diversity increases, that of team innovation decreases. The most important finding of the study is that cooperative team culture has a moderating effect on the relationship between diversity variables and team innovation. This means that the effects of diversity variables on team innovation are larger when cooperative team culture is stronger.

To that end, this article examines the effect of marriage-based immigrant representation in the South Korean government in shaping native Koreans’ perceptions of job performance, trustworthiness, and fairness of the government through the utilization of survey experiment data. The analyses show that a greater representation of the marriage-based immigrant population does not produce positive effects on the native Koreans’ perceptions of the government. This finding indicates that the positive effects of minority representation may come at the expense of the majority’s trust and perceived legitimacy of the government. However, this article argues that representative bureaucracy may be able to reduce reputational damage among the majority by increasing and advertising their organizational competency.

Though some believe that the exponential pace of technological advancement will make traditional higher education obsolete and replace it with lifelong microlearning and upskilling models, research shows that what will empower future generations to thrive in the new age of machines is not up-to-date technical fluency but such distinctly human traits as creative problem-solving, critical thinking, cognitive flexibility, cultural agility, and emotional intelligence. The key to cultivating these soft ‘human’ skills, the paper contends, lies in liberal arts education. To illustrate how a well-designed liberal arts curriculum can develop the capacities demanded of the future workforce, the paper presents brief case studies of liberal arts programs in Singapore and China. The paper concludes with a discussion of the challenges and policy directions for implementing liberal arts education in Korea’s higher education system.

After outlining the key characteristics of an NPM-based PMS and its limitations in hybrid settings, an exploratory case study was carried out on a public network in charge of delivering a local public transport service. The network was particularly appropriate, as it initially endorsed an NPM-based PMS. Findings show problems in using the PMS and adapting the model, which led to the development of new features and requirements. Using a theoretical triangulation, it was possible to draw a more general insight into the characteristics of a PMS in a hybrid setting, here called a relational and participative PMS.

We argue here that this phenomenon is due to the limitations of the static and linear approach to local strategic planning in fostering the development of common shared view among policy makers on the relevant system’s structure and behavior. By means of a case-study, we illustrate how an approach based on system dynamics modeling applied to Performance Management can be useful to overcome such weaknesses. The proposed approach enhances a better understanding of the causes and effects related to adopted policies, undertaken actions and targeted results. This helps key-players in an area to overcome possible barriers to collaboration, and therefore to adopt a combined “institutional and inter-institutional” perspective of performance.

Author-X-Name-Last: Minassians Title: Network governance and performance measures: Challenges in collaborative design of hybridized environments Abstract: Measuring performance of public goals can be highly complicated considering that, in the achievement of those goals, governments are no longer directly involved in the delivery of goods and services. Hybridization of public functions, purposes and processes has created new challenges by fragmenting public bureaucratic functions into the hands of multiple players, thus complicating measuring and reporting performance outcomes. This article presents the results of a study that examined performance indicators across multiple public agencies in a large municipal county. The purpose was to assess whether performance measures link organizational collective goals. It specifically addresses the following question: How does the governance of multi-actor networks influence the design of performance measures? The study emphasizes a need for the design of interlinked performance measures in a large networked environment. The findings indicate that design of performance measures remains insular to the organization and does not reflect the hybridized collaboration between various entities.

Specifically, we apply the framework of Social Exchange Theory to explore the impact of Leader–Member exchange (LMX) and Team–Member exchange (TMX) on Work Engagement in the provision of health care in public hospitals. Our investigation suggests that both LMX and TMX represent significant factors associated with work engagement among the hospital medical staff.

This paper aims at contributing to the improvement of the outcomes achievable from the use of traditional performance management systems in the public sector by combining them with a simulation-based method named System Dynamics modeling. Such an approach is called Dynamic Performance Management.

The empirical model is tested using fixed effects with panel data that consist of 3031 county-type areas in the United States for five-year intervals from 1992 to 2012. We find that an increased level of fiscal decentralization is associated with larger labor input in the production of public services. Our statistical results also show that interjurisdictional competition leads to the growth of local public sector employment. Nevertheless, we do not find that spatial fragmentation and jurisdictional overlap have any significant relationship with the level of public sector employment.

However, substantially less research has focused on the structural factors and mechanisms through which job incumbents may experience subjective P–O fit. In particular, in higher education, the types of hierarchy observed in traditional organizations are less visible in the ways in which faculty collaborate with others. Thus, greater effort to understand the role(s) played by contextual factors (e.g. physical settings) in job incumbents’ perception of organizational fit in higher education is clearly warranted. Therefore, we propose and test a multiple mediation model to examine the role(s) of perceived job-related (autonomy and role clarity), supervisor-related (leader support), and organization-related (communication, procedural justice, and distributive justice) work conditions on affective attitude (job satisfaction), which in turn influences job incumbents’ evaluation of P–O fit. The findings indicate that work conditions significantly and consistently contributed indirectly, rather than directly, to higher education employees developing positive perceptions of P–O fit, as a result of developing an affective attitude. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

This study empirically evaluates the influence of trust on environmental behavior using the National Survey data on Koreans’ Environmental Behavior. The empirical results suggested that individuals with higher stocks of trust will have a greater tendency to act in a collective manner for the environment. Specifically, trust capital was effective to facilitating such environmental behavior as consuming less water, using energy-efficient bulbs. In addition, pro-social behavior was an important determinant of pro-environmental behavior.

Exploring the determinants of internal versus external whistleblowing Abstract: Whistleblowers play an important role in revealing unethical behaviors in government and making government more transparent and accountable to the public. Thus, the question of how to encourage government employees’ whistleblowing behaviors has been of great interest to both scholars and practitioners. What has received relatively little attention, however, is what factors influence public employees to become internal versus external whistleblowers. From an organization’s perspective, external whistleblowing is generally viewed as less desirable than internal whistleblowing. Thus, it is important for an organization to promote internal whistleblowing. This study contributes to expanding our knowledge on whistleblowing by examining what factors influence whistleblower employees to report wrongdoings internally rather than externally. The findings suggest that both individual and situational factors are significant predictors of public employees’ selection of whistleblowing channels. The paper concludes by discussing limitations of the present study and suggesting directions for future research.

Multicultural acceptance was divided into two factors: prejudice and hospitality. The main findings of the study are as follows: first, an individual with a strong materialist value has a high level of prejudice against foreigners and a low level of hospitality. Second, when the level of social trust is high, the level of prejudice is low and the level of hospitality is high. Third, social trust and the meritocratic view interact to lower the level of prejudice. Based on these findings, future research directions were suggested.

The results show that the impact of HIPC on access to drinking water is positive, especially in rural area. For instance, because of HPIC, the rate of access to improved drinking water increased by 4.877% in rural area. However, this initiative does not affect access to improved water in urban area. I also observe that the probability to increase access to safe water increases with enrollment in primary school; forest area; natural resources, control of corruption and decreases with rural population and the proportion young population. In this perspective, African countries should promote governance, train population on the conservation of drinking water, protect environment, and sustain economic growth.

Organizational justice in the workplace is expected to contribute to effective organizational functioning with enhanced employee satisfaction and commitment, whereas discrimination incurs substantial costs to organizations. Considering the importance of this issue, the current research seeks to explore several factors affecting discrimination in US federal workplaces, especially focusing on organizational justice as a managerial factor. Ordinary least squares regression analysis examines whether organizational justice decreases discrimination measured by the percentage of US federal employees who filed a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The result demonstrates that managerial efforts to establish organizational justice pay off in the form of a decreased level of discrimination.

Using a survey of local emergency managers in the United States of America, this study focuses on the relationship between the presence of an independent IT department within an emergency management agency and their adoption of three types of ICTs – emergency operations, risk communication, and social media technologies. The findings indicate that emergency management agencies are more likely to use all three types of ICTs when an independent IT department exists in-house. On the other hand, challenges of the ever changing ICTs are alleviated when there is no designated IT department. Implications for practice with regards to reducing barriers to ICT use for emergency management are discussed.

Abstract: This study compares the institutional arrangements and performance of the public health services in 30 OECD countries using a fuzzy-set ideal-type analysis and Fs/QCA. Three dimensions of the institutional arrangements have been selected to empirically classify the public health service systems: (1) the ways in which financial resources are created, (2) the extent to which consumers can choose service providers, and (3) the extent to which the government regulates public health service providers in terms of service price, operational procedures, and facilities. The fuzzy-set ideal-type analysis results in eight categories of public health service systems on the basis of their institutional arrangements. This fuzzy-set ideal typology is richer in detail to characterize institutional arrangements for public health services, while at the same time largely embracing the existing theoretical categorizations of the public health service systems of the OECD countries. The Fs/QCA has identified conjunctural sufficient conditions to explain the performance of the public health service systems. Hence, the results of the analysis provide several policy implications. For example, there can be multiple paths to longer life expectancy in higher income countries. One such path is to have national health insurance while allowing more choices for health service providers. Another path is to effectively regulate the prices of medicine and medical services, while not intervening in health insurance and service provider issues.

This study, therefore, attempts to explore conditions for successful sustainable development policies using cross-national-level analysis. Through the literature review, this study identifies arguments that institutional capacity, democracy and free trade are critical conditions for successful sustainable development policies. This study tests these arguments using cross-national time-series analyses for 118–119 countries during 2000–2010. The findings suggest that the democratic aspect of political systems and government administration and the vitality of trade, rather than free trade, are critical conditions for successful sustainable development policies.

This paper highlights the importance of organizational capacity in influencing local government decisions to provide services in house in the realm of public safety (e.g., fire, police and emergency medical services). Our empirical study, conducted in Texas, provides evidence that a local government may reduce the risks of contract failure when it produces services in house, especially in the presence of institutionalized evaluation mechanisms. Instead of relying on alternative service providers to acquire, store and move emergency medical supplies and services, local governments are building capacity to better equip themselves to deliver emergency services and plan for disasters.

Abstract: This study examines the interdependent relationship between bureaucracy and information technology (IT) in public organizations. Few studies have analyzed how bureaucracy affects IT in organizations. First, this study analyzes how IT influences (1) the effectiveness of bureaucratic organizations with regard to short-term outputs (e.g., utilization, time-saving, and decision-making quality) and (2) structural changes in the bureaucracy as a long-term outcome (e.g., centralization, de-red tape, and de-sectarianism). Second, this study analyzes how bureaucratic characteristics – such as hierarchy, technical competence and red tape, concepts that have been discussed by Max Weber, Carl Friedrich and Robert Merton – influence and interfere with IT’s impact on organizational structure and effectiveness in bureaucracy.

We examine the impact of the Great Recession of 2008–2009 on welfare policies of the American states. The analysis examines social policy spending in the American States for periods ranging from 1982 to 2011. The results suggest that social welfare spending is higher with better economic conditions in general but also with higher poverty rates. Liberal citizens and governments and Democratic majorities in the state house produce higher welfare spending. There is a trade-off between education and social welfare spending. Controlling for political, social, and economic conditions that affect state welfare policy, the years of the Great Recession saw a contraction of spending on social welfare programs in general and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families in particular, but an expansion of support for Medicaid.

Abstract: This article addresses questions of how and why the Dutch corporatist welfare state has succeeded in responding to social risks where others have struggled. Summarizing the major findings from a primarily qualitative, historical, in-depth case study carried out in the Netherlands (including 52 in-depth interviews and extensive document analysis of +/− 120 policy documents from 1995 to 2009), this article provides suggestions for developing our theoretical understanding of the role of the state in social risk protection. How does the Dutch welfare state respond to changing and emerging social risks? Why does the Dutch welfare state succeed in its response? The answers to these questions demonstrate a transformation of the welfare state, and challenge existing theoretical understandings of social risk protection. The consequences of this response, however, include a possible increase in social inequality.

The question is how social policies fare within this new system. Does stricter economic governance limit the sovereignty of states to deal with social risks? To answer this question, the article determines the nature of the EU’s stricter economic governance package and explains how the interconnection between coordination mechanisms brings employment and social policy areas within the range of strengthened economic coordination. The article combines an analysis of new regulations with a study of the actual interaction between the EU and seven member states in 2011. It concludes that stricter economic governance gives the EU options to also strengthen employment and social policy coordination. Yet, the policy response of seven member states shows that there is leeway still in reacting to new EU demands.

While the risks at the time of a mature welfare state differ to some extent from those of its earlier formative days, the ‘old’ risks to family incomes did not disappear. There is no evidence to support the position that healthcare costs have become fiscally ‘unaffordable’ or politically ‘unsustainable’. If anything, there has been expansion of the risks covered by (public) health insurance by expanding entitlements and categories of beneficiaries, or adding long-term care insurance to the public schemes.

Drawing on two empirical studies of ethics in the public sector, this article demonstrates that personal beliefs derived from religious convictions often take precedence over official policy when administrators are faced with difficult decisions. Findings counter traditional assumptions about the role of law and policy in directing administrative activities. They cast doubt on the power of bureaucracy to control the behavior of bureaucrats, and suggest that public administrators are clear thinking persons of integrity who live their values while serving their country. The article also shows that religion and spirituality are important to understanding worker performance. It suggests that issues other than administrative actions are affected by personal beliefs, thus opening the door to consider religion, spirituality, and personal ethics in studies of efficiency, performance, and productivity.

The authors examine the ethical dynamics of public service reform, and conclude with a call to reaffirm the core values of public administration in the face of competing business-driven practices.

As such, employee commitment is very important to the effective operation of any organization. We argue that the previous concept of organizational commitment may not capture some important aspects of the organizational commitment construct. We identify three dimensions of commitment: commitments to the supervisor, the work group, and the organization. We examine differences in the foci of commitment comparing the organizational commitment configuration of a sample of paid and volunteer firefighters in Northern New York. All firefighters perform the same work and must meet the same job requirements so we anticipate any differences in the configuration of the organizational commitment construct to be a function of whether they are getting paid or not. We found significant differences between the two groups of firefighters in the foci of their commitment: paid firefighters are higher on their commitment to their supervisor, while volunteers were higher on commitment to the organization. We argue that conceiving organizational commitment as multi-focused construct offers more useful information to researchers and managers.

Contracting out has been formed around “low-trust” principal-agent relations as seen in “hard” versions of contracting. Empirical experiences with contracting have shown the need to build more trust into models of contractual governance. This trend is evident in the recent attempts to form “high trust” public-private partnerships (PPP’S). The main question addressed is: How do different models of contracting deal with problems of trust? The relationship between contracting and trust is examined in the first part of this article. In the second part of this article, we compare recent experiences with contractual governance in the United States and Scandinavia. The article ends by suggesting “serial organizational monogamy” as a third way between low trust and high trust contractual relations.

As a result, the profession encourages the very citizen frustration and cynicism it seeks to avoid. A major contributor to this unsettling state of affairs is the divergent viewpoints that divide the profession over reinvention’s managerial principles—particularly separating the world of theory from practice. That is, many theoretical academic works reject reinvention as being ideologically incompatible with safeguarded values, principally, democratic participation and social equity. Yet, there are numerous empirical works that amply attest to reinvention’s affirmation of those values in practice. The paper examines the differences between the two positions. It illustrates that many of the arguments employed to dispel reinvention often misrepresent it. The paper concludes that the conflicting views need to be resolved by focusing research attention on theory-grounded practice—as a precursor to building citizen trust in public service.

This research supports the argument that ethics enhancement strategies increase accountability by improving public workers’ willingness to be open to public scrutiny.

Recent interests in e-government can be understood in this context. For the last several years, e-government has attracted much attention in academic circles as well as in practice. This paper examines the impact of informatization on management of government organizations. The basic assumption here is that the informatization of government will make the traditional paradigm of organization obsolete because it will significantly influence the main dimensions of the organizational context. This study identifies the major dimensions of the organizational contexts being affected and suggests a new frame of reference for managing government organization that suits e-government.

The question posed in this paper is, “What are the characteristics of the incentives that the Korean Defense Cost Accounting Regulation offers to Korean defense firms?” The firm’s behavior in terms of technology choice, input choice, sub-contracting versus in-house production decision, diversification, organizational structure, and investment decisions are examined. It is shown that it is in the interest of a Korean firm to distort its behavior not only because of the way the regulation relates profit to the total cost, but also because of the way in which the price is related to each cost category. The main incentive effects of the current cost accounting regulation are that firms make a sub optimal cost mix decision in such a way that (1) firms reduce sub-contracting and increase in-house production, and (2) activities dedicated only to a concerned product production line substitutes for possible alternatives, such as joint operations and joint facility utilization. The impact of these incentives is unlikely to be confined to the manufacturing input choice decisions. It also reaches decisions regarding organizational structure, diversification, and investment. Even under circumstances where firms are subject to governmental audit, the above incentive effects hold. In addition, under the audit, firms may embellish their cost reports by incurring additional actual costs to retain a reasonable relationship between reported and actual costs. This results in waste and/or abuse of resources, in addition to the given sub-optimal cost mix.

To diagnose the state of the field, the author examined the studies that use the cost-benefit approach in analyzing the MSW management. The review reveals a few important research notes. First, the current literature does not offer an example of a comprehensive and objective cost-benefit model for comparing MSW management options. Second, a systematic measurement of environmental benefits of MSW management methods was not found. Third, recycling may be cost-competitive depending on the situations. However, these circumstances are not clearly identified. And, lastly, few of the current cost-benefit studies discuss the methodological issues such as standing in a systematic way. These findings suggest that the subject of MSW management still lacks comprehensive and rigorous research that may guide both researchers and practitioners to the making of effective MSW management decisions.

The spatial model and technique developed by them was very relevant to recovering the policy and political conflicts perceived by the Korean people and identifying the public interest for a society as a whole at a specific times. In this respect, I identified two predictive dimensions in the Korean politics and the pattern of political conflicts in the space. But, it was found out that the issue voting model did not hold for predicting people’s voting behavior in terms of our sample and voter utility models.

Author-X-Name-Last: Rockman Title: Politics by Other Means: Administrative Reform in the United States Abstract: The main theme of this article is that administrative reform must be viewed in a political context. Three subthemes are especially pertinent. The first is that in the American context, the growth of bureaucracy became identified with the controversial emergence of the social welfare state and with the growth of government financed by increased taxes. In other words, in the contemporary context it became identified with the politics of one party even though its greatest growth has been a function more of warfare than welfare. The second theme is that for most of the 20th Century, American development had been focused around the build-up of the state. But the reform agenda of the past 25 years has emphasized building down the state. The third theme is that current reform agendas founded in a neo-liberal economic agenda and adopted as Reinvention in the United States may be adversely influenced by the events of September 11, 2001. In the present context, the private production of public goods may no longer be seen as acceptable as it had been.

Abstract: In assessing developments in the UK subsequent to the New Public Management (NPM) reforms of the 1980s and 1990s an important question is whether the structures and practices created by the NPM reforms are enduring or whether, as so often is the case in administrative reform, they are quickly being replaced. There is some evidence that certain parts of the NPM reform have been ‘fatal remedies’ -the reforms originally intended to solve problems of public sector performance have led to side and perverse effects, creating the conditions for their own demise. These processes have been reinforced by changes because of policy makers’ altered priorities. The ‘fatal remedies’ have been especially found in some aspects of competitive NPM structures and in disaggregated corporate units involving splitting ‘policy’ from ‘service delivery.’ However, many parts of NPM, especially disaggregated units more generally and the use of private providers appear to be a more enduring legacy. In some of these areas, rather than removing NPM structures, new mechanisms have been developed to ameliorate some of their undesirable side-effects, particularly through the increased use of regulation of government.

During the last years, however, the Federal Republic seems to lag behind the international development in administrative reform, as its governmental arrangements have proven extremely difficult to adapt to the “double challenge” of unification and Europeanisation. The following contribution, first, analyses the structural characteristics and past performance of the governmental system of the Federal Republic. It, then, seeks to highlight the most pressing reform needs by examining the contextual changes to the public sector during the 1990s. On this basis, different options for administrative reform are being discussed, before taking a speculative view on the future of the public sector. These considerations result in an overall sceptical assessment of the continuing stability (and indeed adaptability) of the German governmental system.

It focuses on the restructuring of the central government level and its administration, with an emphasis on the core executive and governing functions. Hence, moves to politically decentralize and administratively deconcentrate the politico-administrative structures, particularly through the introduction of local self-government, will not be considered in the present context (see, for instance, Wollmann, 1997, 2002; Wollmann and Lankina, 2002; Wollmann and Butusowa, 2002).

An approach is suggested that centers on regional coalitional efforts among the countries in Asia in cooperation with anti-tobacco groups in the US. We argue the current tobacco crisis of Asia cannot be unraveled by domestic policy alone. There needs to be clear government leadership and strong commitment to tobacco control including organized support for tobacco research and public education. In addition, it must be supplemented by the efforts of regional and international coalitions to be more effective. Tobacco control policy at the national level would be far more successful if government leaders and private organizations use their resources to change the public sentiment on smoking and thereby reduce tobacco use and its accompanying social and economic costs.

It also explores how state-level administrators in that state dealt with these network dynamics to overcome local opposition. In setting up and carrying out the “Smart Road” project, the Salem District Office under the Virginia Department of Transportation had vertical and horizontal ties with numerous actors with stakes in the project. These linkages varied in the degrees of cooperativeness and interdependence between those actors and the agency. Network stability was mostly developed and sustained by actors with whom the agency had both cooperative and interdependent relationships, but unequal relationships in interdependence easily reduced the degrees of cooperativeness and finally undermined network stability. The role of administrators who were charged with external relations was to scrutinize network changes and to maintain network stability by promoting the trust and cooperation of other actors.

Author-X-Name-Last: Kelleher Title: Public Economics and International Environmental Policy: The Case of Ozone Layer Preservation Abstract: While there is growing recognition that international environmental protection constitutes a collective action problem, what is less widely recognized is not only how the objective features of the environmental issue but the dynamics of the policymaking process shape the nature of the collective action problem. How the collective action problem is structured of course impinges critically on the prospects for successfully reaching international agreement to address the problem. Drawing on the fundamental insights of the policy analysis and public economics literatures, the paper seeks to explain in game-theoretic terms the essence of the challenge facing countries in trying to forge agreement to address environmental issues. It points to the critical role of private benefits that are jointly produced in the effort to produce the public benefits of global environmental protection. Focusing on the international effort to protect the ozone layer, the analysis may shed light on why this instance of international policymaking has been widely seen as successful, while the international effort to avert climate change has been less so.

The studies, however, have failed to bring satisfactory results. It may not be possible to generate ultimate tools of calculating the number of public servants for every local government since each government faces different situations that require various levels of service cost. This paper introduces a method of estimating the proper sizes of personnel for local governments in Korea. The SI(Standardized Index) model introduced here has been applied to Korean local governments as a tool for downsizing and as generating an important indicator of determining grant sizes for local governments. This paper, therefore, focuses on the SI model and also introduces several other methods for a comparison. The introduction of SI model occupies a major part of the paper. The research also releases some results generated by the SI model. Finally, it discusses potential alternatives and proposes future research issues.

Generally, municipal bonds are issued to finance capital spending. However, capital costs could be funded by current revenues or borrowing. If taxpayers perceive debt financing to be less costly than current taxation, reliance on debt tends to incur larger public spending. By utilizing a sample of New Jersey municipalities in the U.S., this study found that municipalities relying on more debt spent more on capital investments than those relying on less debt.

In spite of this importance, comprehensive research on factors influencing IS outsourcing has not been conducted. Due to rapidly changing technology and IS facilities, the determinants of IS outsourcing are substantially different from non-IS outsourcing. In this article, three theoretical perspectives are examined: (1) transaction cost theory, (2) organizational factors, and (3) diffusion of innovation. This empirical study found that transaction cost theory is not an appropriate theory to explain IS outsourcing activity in the city government. Instead, we propose that resource-based theory could cover the explanatory power of transaction cost theory and organizational factors.

A survey was conducted to study the relationship between gender and the computer attitudes of 248 officials (162 males and 86 females) in Korea. The survey also examined whether or not computer attitudes were affected by other variables such as age, education, and grade. The findings indicated that there were no gender differences in computer attitudes and the other variables were not related to the computer attitudes of Korean officials. Only one variable, computer experience (measured by ‘years using computers’), was strongly related to computer attitudes. However, sub-group analyses showed the relationship was statistically significant in the female group, yet not in the male group. Thus, it was concluded that computer attitudes were not different between male and female officials and computer experience was the most important factor affecting computer attitudes of the female officials. This study is the first sample in which female officials who have more computer experience have been found to be more likely to have positive attitudes toward computers.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to measure negative externalities of toxics release inventories (TRIs) on housing sale prices. This study focuses on TRIs located in the center of Cleveland, Ohio, and their effects on the sale prices of single family homes in surrounding cities in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, from 2001 to 2006. Furthermore, I test whether housing sale prices in economically distressed suburbs have been more harmed by TRIs than those in less distressed suburbs. General OLS regression models that employ hedonic models are used for these estimations. Results of this study suggest that housing sale prices in economically distressed inner-ring suburbs were considerably harmed by Cleveland’s TRIs, while housing sale prices in less distressed inner-ring suburbs were not affected by such TRIs.

By integrating the political bargaining and network approaches, insight is gained into how political bargaining based on networks can be applied to performance agreements and thus what factors influence their application. Development resources, circumstantial conditions, and organizational networks are hypothesized to influence performance agreements. The results confirm that development resources (such as physical resources, expertise and experience, size of businesses) dominantly influence the level of performance agreement application. However, this study finds that the priority of economic development in circumstantial conditions is also important to promote performance agreements.

The mandatory hiring of persons with disabilities to meet numerical goals and a timetable established by the Employment Promotion of Koreans with Disabilities Act of 1990 has remarkably improved the representativeness of persons with disabilities in most Korean government agencies, though in Korea there are still far fewer public workers with disabilities than in nations with advanced economies. Findings indicate that public workers with disabilities are relatively well represented in departments with agency missions that are closely related to the interests of people with disabilities, and that women with disabilities are severely underrepresented in the civil service. Germany has utilized a quota system to improve the employment of severely disabled persons and disabled women, an approach that Korea should also undertake. Additionally, as in the United States and the United Kingdom, which prohibit discrimination against persons with disabilities, an anti-discrimination policy and an equal employment opportunity policy need to be more deliberately devised and strictly implemented along with workplace accommodation provisions.

However, despite its increasing roles and responsibilities, Korea as a donor has underperformed in the area of international development assistance. Applying principles and guidelines set forth by the OECD-DAC, this paper examines what Korea achieved during the period from 1987 to 2008 and what Korea needs to improve in the future. By looking at longitudinal data on Korea’s official development assistance (ODA) activities and a cross-sectional comparison of Korea with other major donor countries, this paper argues that Korea has neither complied with agreed-upon international norms of humanitarian-oriented aid, nor fulfilled the OECD-DAC guidelines. To increase aid effectiveness, this paper suggests that Korea clearly manifest goals of ODA, increase its net volume of ODA, alter its aid portfolios, strengthen the efficacy of the development cooperation system, and enhance the institutional capacity of aid agencies.

This paper explores the effects of environmental taxation as well as R&D on environmental pollution. We used cross-country panel data from 26 OECD countries with observations ranging from 1995 to 2005. Our findings have led us to the conclusion that taxation has no significant effect on reducing environmental pollution, while governmental R&D expenditure exhibits a significant and positive impact on the reduction of environmental pollution.

Examining the compatibility between the practices of governance and the substance of SD, this paper develops and elaborates upon the following principles and criteria of governance for SD (GoSD): the four principles of institutional mobilization, power and resource distribution, interactive cooperation, and understanding assimilation; the three main criteria of structures of GoSD, processes of GoSD, and consensus on substantial values for GoSD; and the related detailed criteria of each. The first and second principles correspond to the main criterion, structure of GoSD; the third principle provides the basis for the main criterion, process of GoSD; and the fourth principle is consistent with the main criterion of consensus on substantial values for GoSD.

Today, new competences and resources, not usually owned by local authorities, are being embedded into the decision-making process, which necessitates the involvement of local stakeholders. A set of different tools (public-private partnership, project financing, etc.) and purposes (urban renewal, territorial marketing, etc.) has been developed to improve this relationship. This paper presents the experience of Parma, an Italian municipality, where a project called ‘MasterTown’ has been developed with the aim of involving different stakeholders in identifying and planning urban renewal. Analysis shows four key factors for the success of MasterTown project: sharing competences and resources, involving citizens, finding alternative financial resources, and assessing social outcomes. The results could be useful to policy-makers in developing renewal processes meeting the needs of all local stakeholders.

The study utilizes data from a 2013 e-governance survey of the world’s largest municipalities that evaluated the performance of their official websites in five distinct categories: privacy/security, usability, content, services, and citizen participation. A cluster analysis was then used to classify the cities into four different groupings: digitally mature cities, digitally moderate cities, digitally minimal cities, and digitally marginal cities. Grouping by cluster made it possible to identify e-governance trends among the municipalities. In addition, a path analysis found that Internet usage significantly impacted a city’s e-governance performance, along with the mitigating influences of education and economic status. The longitudinal findings are consistent with previous innovation diffusion research that suggests website performance and global e-governance are following a logistical or s-shaped curve. Finally, important recommendations for practitioners and future lines of e-governance research are suggested.

This results in new management for local governments and enhancing competition in remote areas becomes a challenge. This study explores whether constraints on the fiscal capacity of local governments relates to the promotion of provider-driven competition, which is different between urban and rural municipalities. As the elderly voucher program was established in 2007 in Korea, the analysis presents empirical evidence from a transitional perspective. The results show that low fiscal capacity of local governments promotes competition and there is no difference in the impact between rural and urban municipalities. The finding implies that uneven fiscal capacity may not exacerbate a deterioration of the provision to secure competition.

The vast majority of discussions on aid effectiveness have been devoted to whether or not recipient countries possess various aspects of capacity to make aid programs effective. Since a donor country makes the first decision on how and where aid should be disbursed, donor countries also bear comparable responsibilities for aid effectiveness. Analyzing whether aid effectiveness, as represented in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Development Assistance Committee principles, is under the influence of the aid management system and governance of donor countries, the results of this empirical study show that both factors affect aid effectiveness. In particular, the empirical results imply that donor countries where, aid agencies are housed as a development cooperation department within a Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the one hand and which have a stronger capacity to control corruption on the other tend to follow the international principles of aid effectiveness which, in turn, enable them to improve aid effectiveness.

As a critical and integral component for achieving public agencies’ missions and objectives, a well-developed and effective public human resource development (HRD) program needs to be in place. The following research questions guided this study: (1) What are the role of HRD systems (i.e. off-the-job training and on-the-job training), and HRD effectiveness in public organizations? (2) Do HRD systems and HRD effectiveness have a positive impact on employee attitudes and behaviors? (3) What are the mediating roles of mission congruence on trust in leaders and satisfaction with the organization? This study uses data from the Merit Systems Protection Board to identify the nature of HRD and the antecedents of HRD effectiveness in the public sector, and to determine the resulting organizational effectiveness of HRD. This research finds that some HRD effectiveness and mission congruence play major roles in meaningfully and significantly boosting employee trust in leaders and organizational satisfaction. Finally, a discussion on the main findings, research, and practical implications for public management theory and practice is provided.

Using government expenditure data from 1972 to 2006, this study finds evidence of the displacement effect in government expenditures immediately following German reunification, along with changes in both the composition of government expenditures and funding allocation authority between local and federal governments. These findings suggest that social disturbances play a significant role in determining the functional composition of government spending and have the potential to reverse the trend of fiscal decentralization.

Based on Blake and Mouton’s managerial grid, one of the most popular leadership theories in public administration, this study classifies principals’ leadership styles and examines the relationship between leadership type and students’ academic achievement. In this study, Korean education longitudinal data from 2005 to 2007 are analyzed. Using four models, we observe which factors affect academic achievement, while controlling for family and school factors. The finding is that authority-obedience management and team management have significant effects on academic achievement. This finding is consistent with previous research on Blake and Mouton’s managerial grid. However, leadership is not influential when controlling for family factors, which aligns with previous studies that reconfirm the idiosyncratic nature of the Korean setting. Therefore, we need to study how to boost the leadership qualities that can enhance organizational performance.

Abstract: Although the relationship between parental and teachers’ roles and exclusionary discipline practices (EDP) seems intuitive, the link has rarely been supported in school disciplinary literature. This current study tested whether delinquency prevention programs can be directly effective in reducing adolescent delinquency, considering the medium of student’s trust in teachers and parental contact with school. In detail, this study attempted to answer two questions: ‘Do current delinquency prevention programs decrease EDP?’ and ‘Do student–teacher trust and parental contact with school mediate the effectiveness of prevention programs on suspensions?’ Using the techniques of propensity score matching and structural equation modeling, we found that student trust in teachers is a relevant and valid construct and statistically significant mediator on suspensions. The authors suggested some considerations to use student trust in teachers and parental contact with school more effectively as policy tools in disciplinary practices.

Their partnership can be categorized in two ways. One, the more common type, is that NGOs work with government offices by participating in established programs. In the second type of partnership, NGOs take a more independent position when important policy agendas are determined and often push the government to move in certain directions. Vibrant Korean NGOs usually align with more liberal rules and norms of foreign aid governance and advocate for these to their own government. The relationship between the government and NGOs in the area of development cooperation is essentially a partnership, as technical expertise and overseas aid allocation move their interaction away from divisive domestic politics. We named this partnership a “complex relationship” in which both functional and critical interactions occur. Three different types of relations – supplementary, complementary, and sometimes adversarial – co-exist across four interactive areas: volunteering services, development project implementation, development education, and policy advocacy.

Though we observe a performance advantage for school districts with appointed superintendents, the advantage appears to be a function of school district size and demographics rather than government form. Similarly, observed differences in board governance dynamics in districts with elected as opposed to appointed superintendents appear to be a function of factors other than government form. Finally, we find that board members are more likely to delegate day-to-day financial management duties to appointed superintendents. Overall, we conclude that the government form literature does not necessarily translate to special purpose governments. The results are of interest to scholars of local government, education administration, and group dynamics.

An ordered logit regression analysis was conducted on the patronage and merit of the 409 high-ranking officials appointed during the Kim Young-sam to Lee Myung-bak Administrations. The results showed that confirmation hearings did not have any effect on the patronage of high-ranking officials, but did have the effect of increasing their merit. This is probably because presidents tended to select candidates with high merit after the introduction of the confirmation hearings in order to persuade the National Assembly. These findings show that despite the institutional superiority of president, who can force appointments through in spite of the Assembly’s objection, and dysfunctional management resulting from partisan conflicts, the two authorities do compromise with each other.

It finds that even networks that are alike when compared along the determinants of network effectiveness, as identified in the seminal work done by Turrini et al., can have considerably different outcomes. It also finds that the outcomes of these networks can be significantly altered by the exercise of power, or lack thereof, by influential collaborators. Based on these findings, the article concludes that funders in a public service network should adopt a hands-on approach to ensure that the network achieves its stated goals.

Specifically, this article provides empirical evidence on how female participation affects corruption level in the public sector with ordinary least square (OLS) and generalized least squares (GLS) analyses of 120 countries using panel data (from 2000 to 2010), with increased statistical validity. The results of the analyses show that female participation lowers the level of corruption in the public sector. This implies that public personnel administration, especially human resource planning, needs to be strategically designed to increase female participation from a corruption control perspective.

This information should enable stakeholders to assess whether the organization is operating in a legitimate way. This reasoning presumes a direct link between accountability standards and legitimacy. We have found that in theory there should be a link between both, because accountability standards are aimed at supplying information to external parties in order to be able to judge activities. On the other hand, we have found that all stakeholders are different and have varying information needs. Furthermore, in order to operate legitimately, the organization not only has to supply information but should also interact with different stakeholders at various moments and in various ways. These findings suggest that an overly strong focus on strengthening accountability standards in order to enhance legitimacy is not enough. Organizations should interact in different ways with stakeholders to enhance legitimacy.

Even if it is a natural phenomenon for civil servants to experience PSM change after they enter the public sector, there are few studies of it. In this study, first, we examine whether or not PSM can be changed. Second, we study how three organizational socialization factors, namely role model/identification, personal experience/action and work contents, influence PSM change. Third, we compare the causal determinants between PSM changes and PSM.

The case study employed in this paper highlights the historical development and role of a networking organization, CONNECT, of the San Diego region, which is now recognized as one of the most successful platforms fostering collaboration and interaction. The functions of CONNECT, as an intermediate organization, in building an industrial cluster include its role in convening the entire community to help novice entrepreneurs. CONNECT has evolved to be a successful organization because it went through community-wide discussions, focused on bridging separated sectors, and was managed by dedicated leadership. The policy implication for creating an effective intermediate organization is to motivate regions to collaborate in finding tailored programs through a bottom-up process.

The need seems to have emerged from an assumption that there is a definite relationship between the personal values and corruption permissiveness of an individual. The existing literature, however, hardly contains any direct evidence in the support of this assumption. This gap has profound practical and theoretical implications; therefore, this paper examines the assumption with a view to fill the gap. It also explores the possibility that the financial condition of the family of government servants moderates this relationship. The paper found significant evidence in support of both assumptions.

Ironically, the apparent success of the performance regimes may have helped ensure agency compliance with measurement requirements at the expense of real improvements in performance. Here we suggest that at least one of the reasons for this may be that the characteristics of performance management instituted by many central government policymakers -- public transparency and the use of performance metrics for making high stakes budgetary and personnel decisions -- may serve to inhibit the learning potential of performance information. How this occurs and what might be done to at least partially reconcile the performance agenda of elected officials and agency learning are the subjects of this paper.

However, there has been little research yet on how the institutional logics of the mechanisms are instituted, and there is still little knowledge on the role of accountability in the governance of PPPs. The purpose of this article is to develop a theoretical framework for studying the institutional logics of accountability in PPPs by including institutional work projects in an analysis. The theoretical framework is applied in a single case analysis of the Finnish public–private pension system TyEL. The case study reveals accountability gaps and changes previous understanding of the role of public accountability in governance of PPPs.

The interactive capabilities of Web 2.0 in general and social media in particular have turned this communication from a (mostly) one-way stream to an interactive experience. This low-cost, accessible medium has levelled the playing field between government and citizen: everyone now has the means to organize and spread a message at their fingertips. As a result, the role of citizens in the public discourse has changed: they have become monitorial citizens and armchair auditors. Public accountability, one of the key processes in any democracy, is changing and become a more dynamic process. In this article we describe this trend and discuss its implications.

It means the capacity to engage not only individuals in solving immediate problems, but also groups and organizations as they address broader issues of collective interest, as well as public decision making and collective action at the societal level The exercise of leadership varies by scale, complexity of operations, and impact – from the individual paramedic who has to make instant decisions regarding how to deal with an injured patient to an international coordinating committee that decides how to distribute humanitarian aid following a disaster. The contributing authors examine how leadership works in practice at different scales of public service operations. These scales range from the micro level (within organizations) to the meso level (collaboration among actors, organizations, and organizational networks) to the macro level (collaboration among international, national, regional, and local actors).

Although wide latitude in decision making is a norm of frontline work, leaders may occasionally be present to supervise service provision. This exploratory research employs narrative inquiry to examine the interactions of street-level personnel and formal authority figures during service provision in emergency medical services. Results indicate that occasions for compliance and disregard for managerial directives are manifest. Compliant behavior was evident when patient clinical needs were relatively clear and the effects of the directives were reasonably consistent with the paramedic’s preconceived notions of appropriate action. Deviation from managerial directives was apparent when patient’s positive outcomes were dependent on ignoring orders. Contributions to theory and practice, as well as avenues for future research are discussed.

We discuss how these leaders are embedded in networks and which strategies they use. The theoretical framework is based on Complexity Leadership Theory. We conducted participatory observation in two Dutch case studies: a regional agricultural development in the Venlo region and an urban redevelopment in the city of Amersfoort. These studies reveal leadership strategies creating conditions that are favorable for the emergence of complex innovations.

Analyzing data from emergency response incidents, we describe a role for leadership between these micro-social and macro-social contexts. At the meso level, emergency managers both design and react to interorganizational structures; a process we call meso-leadership. We explore these leadership strategies, including efforts to engage diverse actors (brokerage) and reinforce group norms (closure). The task of meso-leadership is to balance these strategies, which we illustrate using examples that suggest a pattern of shifting strategies at different phases of emergency events.

The rapid escalation of demand in contexts of urgent need, scarce resources, and cascading, interdependent consequences challenges the physical, intellectual, technical, and social skills of public managers in profound ways, with high potential for failure at sobering costs. We examine this process of evolving leadership in two different disaster contexts, Haiti and Japan, and conclude that developing a “knowledge commons” or interactive information infrastructure offers a constructive means of improving decision processes for public managers by engaging a wider exchange of knowledge and skills in situations of deep uncertainty. Timely, valid information becomes the key resource in mobilizing collective action in response to disaster in both developed and developing countries.

Such assessments never arrive more quickly than in the wake of crises and disasters—these episodes make for instant winners (Giuliani) and losers (Bush). These assessments are necessarily shallow, as the public can only judge leaders by what they see. While symbolic performance is important (if only because it can arouse the public), it is not the only performance dimension by which we should assess crisis leadership. In this article, we reflect on the many tasks that strategic leaders are called to perform, and we offer a comprehensive framework for leadership performance in times of crisis.

In turn, this study also tests the strength of the multiple streams model in explaining outcomes for public revenue bills. Using a comparative case study approach, this analysis examines the conditions surrounding SSB tax bills proposed in Colorado and Kansas in 2010, the last year a state SSB tax bill passed. Findings suggest that tax design, policy framing, and partisan politics are variables that influenced the outcomes of the Colorado and Kansas SSB bills. In addition, the modified multiple streams framework was valuable in identifying broader conditions significant to the outcome of revenue bills, such as the severity and magnitude of the budget gaps and packaging of revenue bills.

Civic engagement in budgeting processes, where crucial policy decisions are determined, is an important component of shared governance. Understanding the new roles for citizens in the budget process, then, can extend our knowledge of multilevel governance. This research explores the ways in which the budget process incorporates citizen participation to foster an ideal of civil society in the United States, Brazil, and China. The comparative case analysis probes the extent to which institutional changes have occurred, why they have occurred, and the degree to which municipal budget processes are characterized by multilevel governance.

The research provides theoretical accounts of circumstances under which the anticipated effect of formal threats does not occur. Our task is carried out by examining a deviant case that runs counter to the prediction of deterrence theory. Unlike a majority of deterrence studies adopting statistical analysis, this research employs historical analysis that has great potential to diagnose the intrinsic problems that plague policy implementation. The research suggests that effective regulatory persuasion needs to be based on an analysis of the evolution of the ideas and beliefs internal to regulatees in the historical context in which they have been situated, rather than on purely instrumental reasoning.

From the perspectives of transaction cost and hierarchical governance, a hierarchical linear model enables us to examine both local and state-level factors affecting local multifamily housing development within a single model. The analytical results show that the decision delay for multifamily housing zoning is better understood when we consider state smart growth effort, state authority over local land-use authority, majority agreement of managerial political actors, and professional engagement controlling for socio-physical contexts.

It argues that the MENA region’s experience with development and social policy, and the gender dynamics of these processes and policies, were greatly influenced by the imperatives of state- and nation-building, by the characteristics of the regional oil economy, and by the rentier and neopatriarchal nature of the states. The article also draws attention to how family law as a social policy has had implications for social development and for women’s economic citizenship. While analyzing the specificities of the gender/social policy regime for the region as a whole, it highlights and compares the cases of Iran, Jordan, and Tunisia.

Regarding Quango, China slightly differs from the western countries due to China’s unique social context. We suggest that the Quango Continuum could be slightly modified to apply better to China. The second part of the paper presents the China quasi-autonomous organizations, their main characteristics, and the reforms that have concerned these organizations. An overview of the main political, economic, social and legal reforms as well as globalization undertaken will be given, to place Quangos in the administrative context in which they act. Finally the paper takes trade associations as an example to examine their establishment and transformation. They are typical Quango that spends public money to fulfill a public task but with some degree of independence from elected representatives. Most of them are created from top to bottom. Trade associations thus generally demonstrate the characters of stronger government especially during China’s transitional period. However, the government begins to encourage trade associations to seek independence in their finance, personnel, and activities recently in order to reduce its financial pressure. The trend is clear that they are becoming increasingly independent with the deepening of China’s reform.

Zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) regression analysis is performed over the sample of 8,262 Medicare beneficiaries extracted from the U.S. Medical Expenditure Panel Survey 1996–2000. Dual eligibles are correlated with more utilization of agency-sponsored home healthcare services. The high utilization of home healthcare services among dual eligibles is the result of delayed realization of unmet need under the conventional Medicare program, but not the result of possible over-utilization triggered by the Medicare-Medicaid dual coverage. The Buy-In program is found to be a supportive hand over the Medicare low-income group with unmet medical care needs. The program is particularly beneficial to racial minority duals (rather than white duals) in receiving home health care or dental services.

These human services agencies are struggling to balance the increasing demand for accountability against financial uncertainty, but this complex requirement often leaves them consistent performance challenges. This article argues that human services agencies are suffering from the three preeminent management challenges—value conflict, micromanagement, and low employee motivation. An analysis of organizational change in a community mental health center in Georgia demonstrates that these management challenges, while not the only ones facing human services agencies, represent significant threats to performance improvement. Given ever-rising performance expectations and the uncertainty of government funding streams, cutback management may be a viable strategic choice for human services agencies.

Although there have been many empirical studies on residential and commuting behaviour, it is still not clear whether land use can contribute to achieving more sustainable urban form. This study has provided empirical evidence in relation to the Compact City through a case study of housing renewal in Seoul, Korea, and has examined changes of commuting distance and of modes for commuting and shopping of households who moved to renewed residential areas using multinomial logit model analyses. This study suggests that, ceteris paribus, compact city-type urban housing supply can be used as one of the options to achieve more sustainable urban form, though not to a great extent. Furthermore, reduction of commuting distance does not automatically result in shorter commuting time nor sustainable mode change.

The coalition government in South Korea, which held power from March 3, 1998, to July 10, 2002, provides a good example of this. A prime minister doesn°Øt have as much political power as a president. The prime ministers of the coalition government, however, had their own legitimacy because the coalition played a decisive role in the presidential election of 1997. According to various budget theories, such as incrementalism, etc., greater power means greater budget share. Thus, the budget share of the Korean prime minister increased during the coalition government. In addition, interactions between guardians and advocates reflected the influence of the coalition government in Korea. On the other hand, after the end of the coalition government, some budget items that had been added during the coalition government were retained. For generalizability, two comparable cases might be added: French cohabitation and Putin in Russia.

Abstract: Why is it important to know where the authority for local economic development resides among public organizations, private organizations, and public-private organizations? Understanding local organizations as actors to implement development policies and programs has obvious significance for development priorities and success in communities. From the results of a national survey in 2009, this study found that public organizations were the most dominant actor for county economic development, and public-private organizations were the second. Also, counties with an economic decline and a reformed form of government relied more on public-private organizations to promote favorable economic conditions, while those with stronger environmental interests chose public organizations as the active actor for county economic development.

This article established hypotheses by introducing seven explanatory variables influencing a dependent variable: charter school policy adoption of Colorado school districts. The seven explanatory variables are diffusion effect, race, poverty, residents’ education level, student population size, students’ educational performance, and alternative innovation. The target of analysis is 178 Colorado school districts and a logistic regression model is employed to test the hypotheses. The results of analysis showed that, of the seven explanatory variables, only the following three variables were statistically significant: residents’ education level, student population size, and alternative means of innovation. The influence of the variable “alternative innovation” was particularly strong. This article concludes with debate as to why some variables were significant, while others were not.

Currently, thirteen U.S. states have adopted state growth management regulation (SGMR). The contemporary SGMR provides the statewide planning programs and goals that reduce negative externality and spillover effects and emphasize balanced sustainable development. The mediating role of SGMR is well matched with the explanatory framework of institutional analysis and development (IAD) in terms of solving social dilemmas in social contextual circumstances. This paper seeks to explain what factors account for the adoption of SGMR. By applying the IAD framework, the authors analyze the impact of political party ideology, community characteristics, and physical conditions. Through event history analysis, the authors found influencing important factors: political party ideology and citizen liberalism, real estate interest, and growth pressure.

In particular, there are few studies on the variation in impact fees across cities. From the political market perspective, the decision mechanism of impact fees is more politically complex than economic models have suggested. This study investigates which conditions account for the variation in the amount of impact fees, which are an essential financial resource of local governments. The empirical analysis supports the assumptions of city government on the supply side, and developers and existing residents on the demand side, to decide the amount of impact fees. The findings show that cities with a council-mayor form of government on the supply side are more likely to increase impact fees. On the demand side, cities where residents have a more Democratic ideology tend to increase fees, and, contrary to the initial hypotheses, those with relatively many developers are more likely to increase impact fees.

This study empirically examines the association between multiple dimensions of service quality and citizen satisfaction with contracted-out services by using a survey data collected from a local government in Korea. Drawing on SERVQUAL (a service quality measurement popular in the business administration literature) the present study categorizes the service quality measures into five dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is utilized to examine the measurement precision of five service quality dimensions and the predictive power of each dimension on overall service quality. The results confirm the applicability of SERVQUAL to measuring the service quality of contracted-out public services.

This paper examines the decentralization effort from the perspective of the localities with a particular reference to a few major programs, such as the New Administrative Capital project, relocation plan of public organizations, and administrative devolution initiatives that have been introduced in the nation over the past few years. At the outset of the study the existing literature and relevant information in combination with previous Korean policies is reviewed. It is argued that although the initial efforts for decentralization by the current administration of Roh Moo Hyun deserve applause, they have not achieved as of yet a great deal of progress. Difficult challenges lie ahead with the reshaping strategy for decentralization in Korea, particularly by way of prioritizing relevant agendas, monitoring various decentralization programs, and focusing on local governance.

First, employee participation, rewards, measurability, and performance appraisal are core factors. Second, employee participation and measurability are prerequisites or fundamental factors. Third, performance appraisal and rewards are dependent on these prerequisites or fundamental factors. Fourth, and more specifically, the degree of employee participation and measurability directly influence the effectiveness of rewards and performance appraisal. From a comprehensive perspective, it is necessary for agencies in Korea to make more effort and preparation to achieve successful pay-for-performance systems.

Author-X-Name-Last: Bingham Title: Transformative Mediation at Work: Employee and Supervisor Perceptions on USPS Redress Program Abstract: The United States Postal Services (USPS) has implemented a nation-wide mediation program called REDRESS. The program uses the transformative model of mediation which prohibits the mediator from taking a directive or an evaluative approach in mediation, but instead requires that mediators seek to empower the parties and generate opportunities for recognition of each others’ perspectives. This study examines the perceptions of participants about procedural justice under the early implementation of the transformative mediation model by analyzing exit surveys. This study finds that a great majority of both employees and supervisors are satisfied with the mediation process and the mediators. This result holds even for employees whose disputes were not resolved at the mediation. In addition, this study finds that the mediation process and individual mediator performance are significant contributors to outcome satisfaction. Based on these results, this study concludes that the transformative model of mediation, which focuses not on resolving the immediate issue but on the empowerment and recognition of participants, is a promising alternative to traditional routes of dispute resolution in the public workplace.

This has not been the case for economic development policy. Consolidation and regional approaches are often advocated because development efforts entail both positive and negative externalities and competition is characterized as zero-sum. It is argued that a decentralized system of governments can simultaneously produce the benefits of competition and cooperation in economic development through institutional collective action (ICA) that creates a regional partnership to coordinate local development efforts. Empirical analyses investigate how four dimensions of social capital function as a critical resource to solve regional collective action problems. It is found that both the level of government fragmentation and institutional/relational social capital as evidenced by interlocal service revenues, influence the formation of regional partnerships. Simulations can be used to calculate predicted values for the probability of partnership formation based on the number of local governments in the metro area and interlocal service revenues.

Based on the Urban Household Income and Expenditure Survey (UHIES) from the National Statistics Office (NSO), basic analysis based on the empirical findings suggests a strong market institution such as ‘seniority based’ salary system that limits the wage determination through market forces may have contributed to the statistically significant increase in the household head wage income inequality. The analytical tool used in this study is based on the Jenkins’ (1995) dynamic decomposition by population subgroup method for measuring the effect of potential influences.

The Relation of Public Managers’ Job Choice Motives to Job Satisfaction Abstract: We investigate how public managers’ job choice motives shape their job satisfaction by using a representative sample of public managers from Georgia and Illinois in the United States. Factor analysis presents five main motives driving public managers to pursue a public position. By incorporating these primary job choice motives, the regression indicates that public managers’ job satisfaction level is largely affected by their professed motivations and organizational context. Those managers with higher levels of motivation for the factors Career Advancement or Public Value demonstrate a higher level of satisfaction with their jobs; while other motives such as Job Security, Salary and Smooth Working Environment seem to have no impact on public managers’ job satisfaction. Public managers working in Georgia are more satisfied with their job, regardless of the leading role Georgia played in dismantling traditional civil service reform. The study suggests that expectancy theory does not provide a strong explanation of public managers’ job satisfaction and ends with the discussion of future research directions.

This study found that metropolitan cities that have access to numerous municipal service providers in a county are more actively involved in interlocal cooperation than those that do not have such access. In the case of counties, city-dominated counties that have professional county administrators (or council-elected executives) are more likely to be involved in interlocal cooperative arrangements than countydominated rural counties with no professional county administrators (or elected county executives). This is because professional county administrators (or council-elected executives) in city-dominated counties could easily find municipal service providers in their county. Thus, the availability of qualified municipal service providers appears to be one of the most important factors in facilitating interlocal cooperation in American cities and counties. This study also found that the pattern and the level of interlocal cooperation diverge somewhat between cities and counties, in part due to differences in the functional responsibility between counties and cities.

Alternatives to in-house production include contracts with for-profit organizations, provision by local authorities, and intergovernmental agreements. Previous studies of service choices focus on potential “efficiency gains” from external exchange, especially the economic costs on the supplier’s side resulting from market failure or asset specificities. This study instead applies the political market framework to examine how collaborative local service arrangements are shaped by or respond to supply and demand characteristics. The empirical analysis estimates, logit and multinomial probit models of public service delivery in Georgia. Ferris and Graddy (1986) suggest that decisions reflect a two-step process, i.e., choosing whether or not to contract out and then choosing with whom to contract. This paper also follows their two-step approach. Each local government decides whether or not to collaborate (logit model) and then chooses with whom to collaborate (multinomial probit model). The findings indicate that the transaction cost of supply and demand factors defined by the political market framework affect the choices of collaborative arrangements and alternative service delivery mechanisms.

From these models we could find the following. The effective prize dissipation ratio in each local government multiplied by its population is the same in two competing local governments – in the first case, of equal valuation and equal cost functions, and in the second case, of equal valuation and asymmetric cost functions. If the central government uses a policy to strengthen cost advantage in favor of the low cost local government, then economic inefficiency in terms of aggregate outlays will decrease. If there a binding constraint on outlay by local government 1 is assigned by the central government, then at the binding level of outlay, local government 2’s new equilibrium level needs to be calculated and it will be smaller than the equilibrium level without the binding constraint.

Abstract: American cities are born, change, and, sometimes, disappear. What are the sources of institutional change? One conception of institutional change focuses on the functional process of social institutions. The other emphasizes the nonfunctional processes such as institutional isomorphism and path dependence. In this paper, we explore under what circumstances American cities change their form of government. The authors suggest seven hypotheses based upon functional and nonfunctional explanations, and test these hypotheses using the probit model with a decennial panel data set spanning 350 American cities from 1940 to 2000. Particularly, in order to test the hypothesis concerning institutional isomorphism, we measure the distance between cities using GIS techniques. Not surprisingly, all three explanations get empirical support from the study.

People are frequently regarded as rational beings who judge distinct risks differently. However, there are few risk studies analyzing the judgment of risk distinction. Hence, our study explores whether people distinguish between the risks of Nuclear Power Stations (NPS) and Radioactive Waste Facilities (RWF), and who has the ability to distinguish risk. Our analysis is based on empirical survey data from a sample of 816 people. First, according to value-differentiation, we divide the respondents into two groups, discriminate and indiscriminate, running a logistic regression to determine who is included in each group. Second, to know the object-differentiation by which people discern between the two risks, we create four groups. By logistic regression, we analyze what kinds of factors contribute to determining the probability of inclusion in each of the four groups. Third, to determine the effects of distinctive judgments, we analyze risk estimation, risk image, and the possibility of flexible negotiation according to four classified groups. In short, this study suggests that there are structural factors that determine distinctive judgments. Moreover, we demonstrate that those discretionary factors influence the interpretation of risk estimation and image, and determine the possible actions.

The study areas are Portland, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Cleveland Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Portland has the Metro, an elected metropolitan government, and an Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). Minneapolis-St. Paul has a tax-sharing policy and the Metropolitan Council (MC) to enhance regional assets and manage urban growth efficiently. In comparison, Cleveland has no distinguishable policy to counteract suburbanization. This study analyzes metropolitan suburbanization in terms of “a trade-off of opportunity cost” of commuting time and jobs-housing balance in the two cities with polices and in the city without policies. The regression and GIS results support the rationale for planning interventions and policy efforts rather than a policy principle of laissezfaire. Planning interventions and growth management polices are considered to help offset the more slowly increasing opportunity cost of commuting time by faster-increasing employment opportunities, towards a higher balanced jobs-housing ratio through efficient land use.

In the international regime, nation-states have been regarded as the most basic unit that possesses sovereignty. In the past decades, however, substate and non-state actors have progressively gained more autonomy and legitimacy to engage in international activities, and Korean local governments have begun to affiliate themselves with various IGOs. I argue that Korean local governments join IGOs so as not to lag behind, even when they are not fully capable to join ‘glocalization,’ a combined force of localism and globalization. Event history analysis shows empirical support for this claim. A local government’s IGO memberships are likely to increase when other local governments join IGOs, especially when its peers/neighbors increasingly pursue inward and outward internationalization. Local pressures coming from peers/neighbors shape local governments’ responses to globalization. By investigating determinants of IGO memberships, this study sheds light upon motivational factors for local governments to adapt to a globalizing society.

Nonetheless, corporate social responsibility (CSR) remains relatively unknown in Asian countries compared to the Western world. This article provides a comparative analysis of CSR development in three East Asian countries: South Korea, China, and Japan. These three countries are at different stages of CSR development and serve as examples to explain and predict future directions of private firms striving to be socially responsible businesses and how governments react to the emerging interest in CSR. The results suggest that CSR varies according to political and institutional settings, but converges over time regarding mode of CSR.

The ACA Index complements research on ACA performance by adding a comparative dimension to the mainly qualitative literature on ACA effectiveness. First, the institutional determinants of ACA effectiveness are defined, comprising the mandate, political independence, resources and powers and accountability mechanisms. A strategy to achieve comparative measures of ACA capacity is then outlined and implemented combining data from the Global Integrity Index with a new dataset on ACA functions. The data shows interesting variations in the functions that together compose ACA mandates and illustrates the uneven distribution of ACAs across different world regions. A brief analysis of the ACA Index suggests the importance of ACA capacity for the perception of a government’s seriousness to reduce corruption while on the other hand their role as the sole decisive institution in a country’s strategy against corruption is relativized.

To do so, two approaches are used: composite indicator approach and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Fourteen, relatively stable, countries from the MENA region were chosen to construct the study sample. The findings of the input-oriented DEA indicate that the United Arab Emirates is the only efficient country according to constant return to scale model, and that the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Iran are the most efficient countries with respect to variable return to scale model. Moreover, a comparison of the efficiency of the MENA countries in question to the efficiency of a number of emergent countries in Europe and South America shows that the emerging countries of Europe are the most efficient, followed by South American countries and finally those of the MENA region.

We conducted in-depth interviews and surveys with high-level officials of S. Korean sociocultural ministries, and analyzed the data through mixed methodology to construct a grounded model of the behaviors of the officials vis-à-vis ministers. The results show that the civil servants’ substantive behavior varies from loyalty to tacit resistance, a consequence of the tension between bureaucratic conditions and relations with the minister. In the case of conflicts with ministers, however, senior civil servants tend to become quickly submissive in that they perceive themselves as implementers of ministerial policy and thus as needing to be adaptively accommodative to the political appointees with democratic legitimacy.

The results of SEM indicate that the proposed research model explains the data appropriately. When the public perceives the government communication more positive, they perceive the government as responsive, reliable, integritous, open, and fair. Further, public’s positive assessment of these five components of actionable core drivers of public trust lead the public to trust the government more. Higher level of public trust means higher level of public acceptance. The results suggest that the public may accept certain government policies through complex cognitive processes from their perception of government communication that affects their trust on the government rather than just from their preference or rational choice on policies.

Using the Federal Human Capital Survey dataset over three years, the research addressed two research questions: (1) Is developmental leadership positively related to work engagement? and (2) Does perceived skill development moderate the relationship between developmental leadership and work engagement? Results showed that both developmental leadership and perceived skill development positively and significantly affected public employees’ work engagement. In addition, perceived skill improvement had a moderating effect on the relationship between developmental leadership and work engagement.

We explored how the perception of organizational politics affects the organizational performance and work attitudes including job satisfaction and organizational commitment of public employees. We also examined how age and PSM moderate the politics perceptions–outcomes relationship. The interactive relationship between organizational politics and age or PSM on the one hand and performance and job attitudes on the other was examined using a sample of public employees from the central government in South Korea. The results indicate that politics perceptions in organizations lower organizational commitment and individual performance. Moreover, 1) politics perceptions have the most deleterious effect on commitment to their organization for older public employees, and 2) employees with high levels of PSM are more vulnerable to workplace politics than employees with low levels of PSM.

We attempted to answer two questions: Does the technical efficiency of hospitals and nursing homes vary depending on ownership type? If so, how does time moderate the relationship between ownership and technical efficiency? Our findings do not show that for-profit healthcare providers are universally more technically efficient than nonprofit healthcare facilities. However, for-profit nursing homes are more technically efficient than nonprofit facilities, while there was no difference between nonprofits and for-profits in hospitals. An examination of healthcare facilities reveals that nonprofit institutions have only recently become efficient, while for-profit organizations were more efficient in the past. In conclusion, institutional changes in the healthcare delivery system of the US developed differently, depending on organization’s ownership and facility types. Theoretical and practical considerations were recommended as a policy tool in healthcare practices in terms of market and population for technical efficiency.

How enforcing is law enforcement? Abstract: This study probes the relationship between emotional labor and organizational culture by contrasting two classic forms of government work: tax collection and law enforcement. First, an analysis examines the differential effects of self-focused versus other-focused emotional labor in both types of work. Then, hierarchical regression analysis is used to examine the moderating effects of organizational culture. Findings reveal a different relationship between the forms and outcomes by level in the hierarchy: self-focused emotional labor is positively related to pride in job while other-focused is positively related to emotional exhaustion, except for those in lower ranks with shorter tenures. A deeper probe reveals that work demands and cultural orientation are significant moderators. Tax officials experience more exhaustion and police officers experience more pride. Compared to role-oriented culture, which is the embodiment of bureaucracy, support-, power-, and achievement-oriented cultures affect emotional labor constructs.

Leading to e-government development, they expect creating public value. However, little empirical evidence about achieving the expected benefits exists. Focusing on the private sector, the extant theoretical models for IT value are not suitable for e-government. This research builds on the DeLone and McLean (D&M) IS success model and the e-government public value perspective to propose and test a model of e-government success from the perspective of government employees. Organizational performance and environmental sustainability are investigated as the two main dimensions of e-government public value in relation with the three quality variables, intention to use and user satisfaction. Based on PLS-SEM techniques, the results show that an intention to use the taxation system and user satisfaction lead to public value measured by organizational performance and environmental sustainability. They demonstrate the adequacy of the research model to assess e-government value from the standpoint of the government employees.

A majority of countries of the world use NDP as a key policy tool across the full range of substantive policy areas, however recent research in the fields of public administration and policy have largely ignored the topic. We use data from surveys and focus groups to examine overlapping issues which are entral to these fields, namely: 1) multi-level coordination and intergovernmental relations; 2) communication and collaboration across levels and sectors; and 3) policy design, implementation and evaluation. The article discusses broader lessons for our understanding of core governance concepts and the practice of NDP in other countries, related to the influence of international actors, mechanisms to ensure technical and managerial capacity at the local levels, effective means of participation of civil society organizations and managing information to implement plans effectively.

While the findings of behavioral economics – the foundation for nudge policy – are well described in the basic research literature, there is still the need to test the efficacy of various policies applied in different contexts. This research examines the differences of preference for a number of nudge policies, with special attention to the gender of South Koreans. A survey measured respondents’ approval of 38 hypothetical nudge policies that fell into seven topical groups. The results showed significant differences between the genders; Korean women were often more favorable to progressive nudge policies than men. The findings suggest opportunities for applying nudges in Korean society to optimize outcomes with progressive policies and social welfare developments. More broadly, this affirms the need to tailor nudge policies across and within contexts for enhanced results.

Using a sample of employees working in four public hospitals in Egypt, the study’s hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. Results reported in the study indicated the following: a) PSM had a positive influence on employees’ OE; b) PSM mediated the relationship between organizations’ SR and employees’ OE; c) PSM did not moderate the relationship between organizations’ SR and employees’ OE. Overall, the model results into a partial mediation model of PSM. This investigation could be regarded as one of the first studies undertaking analyses of the relationships between organizations’ SR, PSM, and employee engagement. However, further work is still needed to provide a better understanding of the organizational factors that can help instill, nurture, or suppress PSM and employees’ OE in the public sector.

This study examines the South Korean and United States governments’ responses to COVID-19 from a comparative perspective. The analysis focuses on crisis learning conducted before and during the COVID-19 outbreak, using the conceptual categories of intercrisis/intracrisis learning and single-/double-loop learning. The findings suggest that double-loop, intercrisis learning allows for more effective crisis management by (re)developing a common operating framework. The efficacy of learning is enhanced when double-loop learning is followed by single-loop learning that embeds new structures and operational procedures. The findings also suggest that intercrisis learning facilitates intracrisis learning and that political support is critical for inducing crisis learning. The paper concludes with theoretical and practical implications for crisis learning.

False information, produced and disseminated via media, can generate social confusion and lead to an inadequate response during disasters and emergencies. Considering that the current media environment requires information recipients to have a certain degree of competency to judge the trustworthiness of information, the existing literature does not provide a systematic understanding of what constitutes individuals’ ability to identify false information related to disasters and emergencies. Using a national survey of public access to false information related to a disaster and an emergency, this study examines the effects of media channel use, digital literacy, social participation, and trust in government on the ability to identify false information during disasters and emergencies. The findings suggest public authorities or emergency managers could better provide consistent and accurate information in a way that requires less digital literacy and further improves the public’s confidence in government regarding the exchange of risk information with the public.

Abstract: This study aimed to predict individual social trust with both individual- and country-level characteristics. We hypothesized that individual social trust will be affected by human values at the individual level and cultural characteristics at the national level. The hypotheses were verified by a multilevel analysis of data from the World Values Survey Wave 5 (2005–2009) and Wave 6 (2010–2014) covering 64,548 individuals in 45 countries. It was found that among individual values, universalism, stimulation, power, and self-direction were positively related to individual social trust. Factors that were negatively associated were security and achievement. Among the cultural dimensions, individualism was positively related to social trust, whereas uncertainty avoidance was negatively associated. Among the respondents, those who were older, more educated, and in higher income brackets showed higher levels of social trust. The findings here indicate that social trust is not only an individual property but also a property of society.

Abstract: In this study, we analyze the impact of eased surveillance on recipients’ unintended payment error rates and fraud related to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). With the adoption of SIMPLIFIED REPORTING as part of the innovative reform of public service, recipients of SNAP only have to report their economic status over an extended period and in a simplified form to reduce the administrative burden of SNAP clients. But reducing administrative burden in the social security policy field faces the criticism that it can increase the possibility of fraud. Despite myths that reduced administrative burden can cause fraudulent behavior, there is no empirical evidence. By running several empirical models including a panel fixed effect model using 11-year state panel data, we conclude that an eased Simplified Reporting does not increase fraudulent behavior, but rather it helps clients to receive relevant benefits from the government.

Data were drawn from 297 undergraduate students who were asked to express their perceptions of photographic slides showing various outcomes of SP in public enterprises. The results found that (1) mere observations of SP changed the job seekers’ perception of public enterprises, (2) the changed perceptions affected their intentions to apply for a job, and (3) not all dimensions of SP were equally important to them. SP related to ethical responsibility appeared to have a greater effect on their intentions to apply for a job than other dimensions of SP. The theoretical and practical implications of these experimental findings are discussed.

The paper explores the factors behind different incidence of malaria in two districts of South Punjab-Pakistan that possessed similar characteristics, focusing on the actions of frontline workers and policymakers. Based on semi-structured interviews with frontend workers, observation of health units from the two districts and review of policy documents on epidemic control programs, we find that SLBs practice lesser discretion when they perceive the policy issue as grave and as policymakers increase surveillance of SLBs, their discretion decreases. We also find that when SLBs have higher room for discretion, they choose convenient behaviors that provide them quicker results.

To ensure sustenance of such enterprises, effective management of emerging job demands by their employees is crucial. Acknowledging relevance of this issue, the present study examines the role of employees’ organizational identification, as a job resource, in promotion- and prevention-focused job crafting and its effect on job satisfaction, by applying job demands-resources and regulatory focus theories. Data collected through survey questionnaire from 433 executives of public sector energy companies of India were analyzed to test hypotheses. The study found a positive effect of organizational identification on promotion- and prevention-focused job crafting and job satisfaction. Promotion-focused job crafting partially mediated the relationship of organizational identification and job satisfaction unlike prevention-focused job crafting. These unique findings may be useful from the perspective of effective job demands-resources management in a dynamic and complex operating environment of PSEs. Theoretical contributions and practical implications have been discussed.

We found that when working hours were reduced, work and leisure satisfaction increased significantly, but there was no significant increase in family or overall life satisfaction. In addition, when working hours decreased, the overall life, work, and leisure satisfaction of employees with higher socioeconomic status showed a significantly sharper increase than that of workers with lower socioeconomic status. These results imply that, in addition to current working-hour policies, additional efforts should be concentrated on employees who are not enjoying the policies’ benefits sufficiently due to lack of resources other than time.

Using meta-analysis, this study examines the aggregate effect of PSM on job satisfaction. In addition, this study investigates whether sector affiliation moderates the relationship between PSM and employee job satisfaction. Based on reported correlations between PSM and job satisfaction from 46 studies, this study finds compelling evidence for a positive relationship between PSM and job satisfaction. Furthermore, a subsequent analysis reveals that this relationship is stronger for individuals who work in the government sector.

Against such a background, by adopting Michel Foucault’s governmentality perspective, this paper critically examines the key assumptions and orientations of public administration and its relationship with the state. The basic arguments are that PA’s silence about the nature of the state has led to the chronic identity crisis and that PA has yet to offer a coherent vision for redefining itself in the context of governing the state and for constituting and engaging the citizens, especially in their counter-conducts amid the governing practices of public administration. Based upon such arguments, it proposes to redirect our attention to the exercise of power across the administrative encounters and explores a future direction for rethinking administrative practices.

The data for this study were collected from 224 respondents in senior management across public organizations in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus (TRNC). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data collected. The study found that the most important predictor of the three types of Miles and Snow typologies of strategy stances to be the prospector one followed by the reactor stance, while defenders have no significant effect on the use of performance information for both strategy implementation and reporting decision-making alongside public organizational performance. Our empirical analysis examines the question of whether the strategy content approaches adopted by public organizations in the TRNC and the use of performance information for strategic decision-making are conducive to enhanced and improved public organizational performance.

Specifically, we test empirically whether incorporating the ‘last-place aversion’ and ‘first-place seeking’ theory into the performance evaluation system is beneficial for promoting the performance level of these governmentally funded facilities. Using a regression discontinuity design, we find that the facilities are sensitive to being placed in the lowest and first rank. The effect of being placed in the former is, however, stronger than the latter. We argue that incorporating the two theories is beneficial for making the facilities accountable for their performance.

In particular, it analyzes the perception of university members, as institutional key actors, on the performances of NUCs at the institutional, socio-economic and national levels. Our approach, informed by new science perspective, draws upon two questionnaire surveys which, in contrast to positive assessments from the government, NUC presidents, and media reports, show that many key actors found NUC performance to be unsatisfactory. The results will be of concern not only to subsequent education reforms in Japan but to East Asian countries as well.

In this study, the author uses path analysis to investigate the direct and indirect influences of six predictors on the credibility of performance measurement in nonprofits. Research findings indicate that stakeholder involvement, developmental culture, level of performance measurement adoption, professionalism, and financial stability significantly affect the measurement credibility. By understanding the catalysts for measurement credibility, nonprofit leaders can promote the effectiveness of performance measurement.

Using an exploratory case study approach, we discuss data-driven administration in the perspective of evidence-based policy-making. Following the tradition of evidence-based policy-making, the advancement of data analytics promotes data-driven administration to solve social problems and innovate government operations. We review relevant cases in Korea and then illustrates how the combinations of two dimensions make practices of data-driven administration successful or not. There is little study pointing out to be mindful of values embedded with social issues in certain domains, even when approached with data-driven administration. The framework of data-driven administration can be used for the better understanding of increasing data analytics practices in the public sector with guiding principles of data readiness and value controversy.

Given this context, this study aims to explore the factors that contribute to the adoption and use of family-friendly policies (FFPs) as a result of companies’ adaptive responses to internal and external pressures. This study explores these factors by focusing on the organizational slack and internal constituents based on organizational adaptation theory. The findings indicate that internal constituents (i.e., labor unions and the proportion of female, older and professional employees) have an impact on the adoption and use of FFPs, while the impact of organizational slack is limited. The results suggest strengthening policies to facilitate communications between employees and employers as well as among employees to enhance the effectiveness of WLB policies.

This study draws on six waves of longitudinal data from a social network survey and semi-structured interviews collected from 22 new managers in a north-eastern state agency between October 2006 and May 2010. The analysis reveals that the interpersonal networks of new managers are particularly beneficial during the early period of role transition after the promotion. Second, managers organize interpersonal networks around role models who can provide valuable resources and feedback in a timely manner. Third, networks are gradually diversified into instrumental and expressive networks. Where the instrumental network tends to consist of multiplex ties with role models, the expressive network tends to shrink over time. The analysis highlights the instrumental values of one’s networks and the critical impact of role models during the managerial role transition process.

A cost-benefit analysis is optimistic when co-opted external policy analysts perform it. However, an independent research center specializing in feasibility studies significantly reduces this tendency and improves the quality of analyses. Moreover, a pre-feasibility study plays a catalytic role in bringing the policy community to embrace high-quality analytic information during policymaking. Our findings suggest that some allegedly incompetent local governments can make better and more correct public investment decisions through appropriate institutionalization of the policy analysis process.

This research is based on data from 386 individual offender sanction hearings between 2008 and 2019 that were collected from IIROC’s website. Descriptive and correlation analyses were used to analyze the data. The findings from this research indicate that mitigating factors have more influence on penalties than aggravating factors. More than two-thirds of the frequently found mitigating factors considered by IIROC are related to post-offense. Another significant finding is that more than two-thirds of the frequent aggravating factors considered are also found in the frequently identified but not considered aggravating factors. These findings indicate that hearing panels were using mitigating factors to mitigate sanctions as opposed to the aggravating factors, which can escalate sanctions. It is hard not to see the Ontario Securities Commission and Ottawa not using the findings to inform self-regulatory reforms in Canada.

Based on the model of slack-maximizing bureaucracy, we predict that the enactment of PBB laws is likely to shore up the legislature’s ability to control budgetary slack. By providing more information about the production costs of public services to the legislature as budget sponsors, the legislative adoption of PBB can mitigate the information asymmetry between bureaucrats and the legislature, which leads to more effective control of budgetary slack by budget sponsors. In US states, we document that the budgetary slack is reduced after a state legislature legally mandates the use of performance information in the budgetary deliberation. This finding suggests that the legislative adoption of PBB facilitates the budget sponsors’ use of prior-period budgetary slack information to reduce current-period slack, consistent with the notion of PBB as analytic tools for budget sponsors.

This study analyzes Korea’s system of using contributions to the National Health Insurance as an eligibility criterion for determining welfare benefit recipients and evaluates whether the system has these aforementioned characteristics, using the case of the COVID-19 stimulus payment distributed in the city of Jeonju. The analysis shows that while the system is favorable from an efficiency perspective, it is less desirable in terms of the other two characteristics. Based on the findings, this study proposes using tax return and employment insurance data, as such databases can help solve the equity and measurement error issues associated with the use of the current system.

However, scholars have raised concerns that business-like approaches may eclipse or even discredit the other core values of public administration, such as equity, in the pursuit of the values of the market. As equity is often the central question of taxation, this study explores how market-oriented administrative reforms affect equity focusing on the effect of outsourcing in property tax administration. The findings indicate that outsourcing can preserve equity in taxation and even improve the outcome in certain service areas.

To analyze the determinants of QWL, the moderating effects of a non-work domain factor (QOL) between work domain factors (PSM, job autonomy, innovative culture, and innovative performance) and QWL are investigated. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of a group relocated to Sejong and a stationary group was conducted. Using survey data, this study reveals that the QWL of the relocation group is lower than that of their counterparts, and that job autonomy, innovative culture, and QOL are effective antecedents of QWL in both groups. In contrast, the effects of PSM and the moderating effects of QOL diverge depending on relocation status. Consequently, this study has both theoretical and practical implications.

Abstract: The current research addressed two main research questions: (1) What antecedents in an organizational context are related to public employees’ innovative behaviors? (2) Does an innovative culture have moderating effects on the relationship between antecedents and innovative behaviors? Using a nationwide sample of South Korea government employees, the research explored the effects of expected antecedents on innovative behaviors using a random-coefficient model, which takes into account the variance of slopes and intercepts in a nested data structure. Results indicated, first, that job autonomy, goal clarity, cooperative communication, transformational leadership, and an innovative culture are positively associated with public employees’ innovative behaviors. Second, an innovative culture shows moderating effects only on goal clarity and transformational leadership.

An empirical analysis of the link between active and passive forms of transparency Abstract: Government transparency has been widely commented through the adoption of freedom of information laws. Several studies have shown a positive effect of access to information on government transparency. This contribution, based on a quantitative analysis of 2,222 Swiss municipalities, adds to the literature by combining disclosure of information on municipalities’ websites and constrained release of information. The findings indicate that more proactive transparency practices are not observed in regional entities that have enacted transparency laws. Nevertheless, they also indicate that levels of proactive transparency are slightly higher in municipalities where freedom of information has been implemented for a long time.

The innovation and associated process are characterized by a number of factors which may vary from country to country. Exploring country-specific innovative practices during a pandemic and analyzing the factors that characterize those innovations are important especially in cases where acute shortage of literature prevails. This study, therefore, presented three sample cases on public sector innovation in Bangladesh and analyzed what factors might lead to those innovations. The paper shows that a number of environmental, organizational, individual factors coupled with the innovation attributes contributed to the innovative practices that public sector initiated to provide public services during the pandemic. Suggestions for further research are provided in line with the limitations that the study contains.

In particular, we empirically examine the formulation of supplementary budgets and discuss its policy implications. We focus on South Korea, which effectively mitigated pandemic concerns in the early stage through expansionary fiscal policies. Our findings indicate that, first, budgetary projects that undergo the supplementary budgeting process in previous years tend to be organized again as the supplementary budget in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Second, information regarding the unused budget in the past, which is a widely adopted indicator of budget inefficiency, does not influence the supplementary budgeting process to improve budget efficiency. These results suggest that, in the face of time and information constraints, budgetary agencies obtain relevant information from past experiences to formulate the supplementary budget during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the positive effects are limited because agencies do not adequately utilize efficiency-related information.

EduData Service System (EDSS) school-level panel data was utilized for analysis, which included pooled OLS, a fixed-effects model, and a two-way fixed-effects model. The results of the fixed-effects model showed that merit payment in Korea likely increases the proportion of students with high proficiency in Korean and English, but tends not to reduce the proportion of students with low proficiency in Korean, English, and math. However, the results of the two-way fixed effects model indicated that merit payment has no statistically significant effect on the proportion of students with above-average or below-average test scores in Korean, English, and math. Recommendations for policymakers, researchers, and educators are provided.

A child welfare service case study Abstract: In 2009, the Nebraska state government began contracting for child welfare services. Five of the six contractors eventually terminated their contracts. Contract failure can have a significant and negative effect on recipients of these services. This study uses interviews and document analysis to describe the contracting process between 2005 and 2019 and examines the purposes of contracting and the reasons why the lead agencies terminated their contracts. The results show that the state government failed to manage the process adequately in terms of financial and human resources, contract design, communication, participation of stakeholders, monitoring and evaluation. Additionally, interviews point out the importance of the role of public officials in contract success.

The influence of trust in e-government Abstract: In Nigeria, the introduction of ICT in the early 2000s propelled e-participation to create more opportunities for citizens to participate in the democratic processes and bridge the public trust deficit gap. This study examines the mediating effect of trust in e-government on the relationship between e-government quality and e-participation using PLS-SEM. We collected data through a structured questionnaire from 369 experienced e-government users. The result shows that the quality of e-government is unrelated to e-participation, while trust in e-government fully mediates the relationship. The implication of these findings suggests that public service managers are to be responsive and transparent in their interactions with the citizens to have greater confidence in the system.

Abstract: The present work provides a comprehensive analysis of the effect of two prominent channels of financial-sector development (FSD)—economic growth and access to credit—on the poor in India. Employing panel data analysis for a sample of 15 major Indian states for the period 1999–2000 to 2011–2012, we provide empirical evidence for the effect of the two channels of FSD on poverty ratio, poverty gap ratio, and squared poverty gap in India. The results indicate that while access to credit and growth have reduced poverty and poverty gap in India, it has disproportionately benefitted the population living closer to the poverty line resulting in increased inequality among the poor. Further, while bank credit has a greater beneficial effect on the poor, it also has a greater detrimental effect on the poorest of the poor. The robustness check confirms the validity of the obtained results.

Individuals may possess mixed motives to take the national civil service exam, which cannot be explained by a single theory or framework. Public choice or public service motivation theory, for example, may not alone describe young Koreans’ desire to work for the government. Furthermore, it may be necessary to specifically consider the Korean culture to examine the complex nature of one’s motivation to become a public official. The study aims to categorize how the youth perceive bureaucrats and find reasons behind the craze for taking the national civil service exam, thus suggesting theoretical and practical implication. Using Q methodology, this study identified four distinct perceptions of Korean public officials: genuine public servers, rise-in-status pursuers, self-interest maximizers, and public policymakers. These conceptions contribute to understanding how young Koreans feature mixed motivations to choose the government as their employer and designing better policies to tackle the issue of youth removing themselves from the labor market to prepare for the national civil service exam.

This inspired us to examine how the government can effectively recruit a sustained and sufficiently large cohort of potential teachers with high levels of passion and self-efficacy to teach the humanities and social studies (HSS) to today’s young generation. Based on semi-structured interviews with teacher candidates who aim to become HSS secondary school teachers in Singapore, we found that their motivations are shaped not only by fundamental vocational and material forces, but also by various non-material, social and cultural forces, which might build up over time. Particularly, not to mention the values embedded in the HSS, individual trainees’ prior experiences with learning and teaching, their so-called socialization influences from former teachers and/or co-curricular activities, have played a critical role in their goal orientation.

However, the role that culture plays in this link, vis-à-vis the politico-economic context of countries, is not well understood. This meta-analysis looks at a combined sample size of 45,812 individuals, from 10 countries and 32 studies; and attempts to disambiguate the influence of these two moderators. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression techniques are employed to test hypotheses and contribute toward theory building. The study finds Asian countries to have a stronger correlation between PSM and JS, compared to Western countries; while two cultural traits, performance orientation and gender egalitarianism, demonstrate significantly higher strengthening impact in correlation effect sizes in Asia vis-a-vis the West. Future research directions and limitations are discussed.

Using data from South Korea, we test the proposition that the dual structure of the labor market is one of the main causes that make the youth unemployment rate higher and worsens social inequality. The results strongly support the labor market hypothesis, suggesting that the dual market model is more relevant for the youth labor market; the findings also indicate that the social inequality structure may be strengthened by the dual market structure that excludes youth with socially disadvantaged conditions from the primary labor market.

An analysis of citizens’ life satisfaction in the public service domain and public participation Abstract: Citizen participation is an integral part of democratic governance, but because of the predominance of New Public Management and its consumer-oriented approach, citizens tend to be viewed as self-interested and passive actors whom the government needs to satisfy or purposely encourages to facilitate the policy process. Based on our notion of active citizenship, we demonstrate that citizens inherently have some degree of proactiveness and that proactive citizens can enhance their life satisfaction in the public service domain, which motivates their participation. Using 2017 survey data with 1,916 respondents, we examine whether highly satisfied citizens in the health care service domain are more likely to participate in that domain. The findings reveal that life satisfaction in the health care service domain is positively associated with respondents’ participation in it.

Most policymakers agree with its importance, however, they follow different approaches toward achieving energy transition. This study examines policymakers’ perceptions of dominant energy resources and their philosophy toward energy transition. The study employed the Q analysis, which is suitable for exploring policymakers’ perceptions. A total of four major environmental philosophies were identified, namely ecocentrism, technocentrism, preventism, and marketism. The analysis of the results concluded that four types of perceptions could be derived from the factor analysis. The most popular type of perception is based on the comprehensive attitude that combines environmental values, safety, and economy. Through the analysis, two crucial implications are suggested: the necessity of energy mix and the long-term feasibility of energy transition. The results of our analysis can serve as useful evidence for establishing a robust energy transition policy.

Abstract: Knowledge‐based policy influence organizations such as think tanks or policy hubs seek to develop public value through the kinds of knowledge utilization activities in which they are engaged. But what exactly do they do, how do they do it and how does this result in public value? While historically public managers have long been assumed to be the principal purveyors of public value, now many policy actors in their various activities claim to seek to enhance public value and can do so in a number of distinct ways requiring a reassessment of the kinds of activities and efforts they are engaged in. This paper looks at key differences between long-established organizations like think tanks and newcomers like policy labs to see how they differ in focus upon co-creation, co-design, and co-production in their search for public value.

Twenty years after implementation, this study examines the influence of openness of public organizations, social media use and the mediating effect of trust in e-government on e-participation. The study proposed a conceptual model comprising seven hypotheses tested using PLS-SEM. Data were collected through a questionnaire from 689 respondents from Nigeria. The results show that openness of e-government and trust in e-government positively influence e-participation. The direct relationship between social media use and e-participation cannot be confirmed; however, trust in e-government mediates the indirect relationships. Similarly, it examines the role of social media use in investigating e-participation. The findings implied that public sector organizations and e-government implementers would learn and take advantage of the e-government system and social media strengths to meet the citizens’ expectations.

Abstract: Korea’s population is aging and the quality of life (QOL) of older adults has become a significant social challenge. Research on the QOL of older adults has focused on health, social support, and objective institutional factors, without identifying the influence of subjective factors related to policy. This study includes policy expectations for national pension, long-term care insurance for older adults, and basic pension, in addition to health factors, such as cognitive function, depression, and activities of daily living (ADL), and social support from family members and friends. The results based on the 7th Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) confirmed the significant relevance of relationships with friends (+) as social support along with cognitive function (+) and depression (-). Policy expectations for the national pension and long-term care insurance also had a positive relation with the QOL of older adults. These results have implications for future research and policies.

A study of Korean public employees Abstract: This study analyzes the effect of need satisfaction on turnover intention for public employees using Alderfer’s ERG theory. Unlike previous studies, we focus on employees that fall within the range of voluntary turnover threshold to explore which of their needs result in a significantly increased turnover intentions. That is, we examine which needs act as latent key determinants that trigger voluntary turnover. We found that job satisfaction is a factor that induces threshold candidates to voluntary turnover and may also act as a latent critical trigger that causes non-threshold candidates to enter into the threshold and the effect of job satisfaction on turnover intention was found to be greater for threshold candidates. On the other hand, lower job security satisfaction led to increased turnover intention for non-threshold candidates which suggests that dissatisfaction with job security can act as a late critical trigger that causes them to enter into turnover threshold. Lastly, Among the threshold candidates, employees with lower pay satisfaction had higher turnover intention and among the non-threshold candidates, those with lower career development satisfaction showed higher turnover intention, respectively. Our results imply that differentiated management approaches are essential between strategies to prevent employees within the threshold from exiting and strategies to prevent new entry into the threshold.

Korea, although Korean local governments make substantial capital expenditure on infrastructure. To examine the determinants of capital spending in S. Korea, we conducted the system generalized method of moments estimation with panel data of 16 Korean local governments over the period 2002–2020. The model of this study, focusing on resource availability and political dynamics, provides strong support to the capital spending hypotheses. Specifically, our research reveals that capital expenditures are significantly associated with resource availability (general taxes earmarked for capital projects, intergovernmental grants, and local bonds) and political factors (elections). We also found that institutional change in the form of the adoption of the ceiling bond system is positively associated with local capital expenditure.

Whereas state tradition has often been discussed in a domestic context and in terms of the relationship between citizens and the state, foreign policy tends to be understood as the product of a state’s position within the international system. This paper proposes that a state tradition is best thought of as a set of ideas that are ‘invented’ for specific purposes, which makes it valuable for conducting critical and historically informed analysis of foreign policy. It demonstrates this analytical value by revisiting the responses of Australia and South Korea to the COVID-19 pandemic, and thereby reveals the operation of two varieties of state tradition and their understandings of the appropriate role of the state in domestic and international affairs.

However, prior studies have shown ambivalent results. This study focuses on the role of information communication technology (ICT) in enhancing social trust. Using two-way fixed effects panel data analysis, this article examines the effects of two types of ICT infrastructure – mobile cellular capacity and fixed internet capacity – on social trust for more than 120 countries from 2000 to 2010 for the fixed internet capacity and 1990 to 2010 for the mobile cellular capacity. Our main results show that mobile cellular capacity displays a statistically robust and positive effect while fixed internet capacity shows negative effect on social trust, with robustness checks confirming the main results. Our analysis implies that for countries desiring to enhance social trust, increasing mobile cellular capacity is critical.

However, our knowledge about the role of the citizen is limited in Public Administration research. This article conceptualizes and develops a measurement scale for citizens’ subjective perception of their competence to handle interaction with bureaucracy, namely citizens’ bureaucratic self-efficacy. Bureaucratic self-efficacy consists of two dimensions: citizens’ self-efficacy in (1) understanding rules and processes and (2) communicative abilities related to interactions with bureaucracy. The author tested the dimensionality of the concept using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, which confirmed the concept’s two dimensions. Through additional validity tests, the concept demonstrated good psychometric properties. The scales correlate with citizens’ decision outcomes and their perceived substantive and procedural justice. This indicates that the measurement is able to predict citizens’ outcomes when interacting with bureaucracy.

In particular, we tried to verify the relationship between the provision of distorted financial accounting information and the occurrence of budget accounting misconduct in pursuit of political benefits by theoretical discussion and empirical analysis. We collected the panel datasets for the period 2008 to 2012 from local governments in South Korea. The logistic regression confirmed the tendency in local governments of avoiding the detection of budget-related irregularity through the act of setting the allowance ratio for bad debts for tax. This can be highlighted as a problem, in that there is a discretionary portion in setting the ratio of the allowance for bad debts for tax and a lack of control of the distortion between the information on the budget accounting irregularity and the information in the financial accounting settlement.

Yet, few studies provide empirical evidence about the interaction effect between NPM reforms and bureaucratic politicization on government performance. This study focuses on performance-related pay (PRP) reforms in public personnel administration and examines how the relationship between PRP and quality of government changes depending on political appointment. Using cross-country data analysis, findings show that the adoption of PRP is associated with higher quality of government, but the effect is negatively conditioned on the level of political appointment. Where political appointment is low, countries with PRP reforms are more likely to be impartial, efficient, and responsive to changes, but PRP reforms may not be effective for quality of government, where political appointment is pervasive in the civil service.

However, the effectiveness of e-government systems in the current data era is difficult to prove empirically, especially in emerging economies, due to the lack of an integrated model to measure sustainable value creation. Indeed, the main models used for evaluating e-government values neglect the environmental sustainability construct. To fill this theoretical and analytical gap, this study offers a sustainable value creation model that includes three constructs, namely organizational performance, user satisfaction, and environmental sustainability. We validated our model using structural equations modeling analysis with 320 responses from the Tunisian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Our findings highlight trust as a key factor driving the intention to use an e-government system that leads to sustainable value. The study provides valuable insight for community leaders to help them in the process of adopting an e-government initiative and evaluating its sustainable value.

This research investigates the policy learning that occurred across the waves by specifically focusing on South Korea’s policy implementations directed at healthcare facility management, including practitioners, during the pandemic. To empirically analyze the government’s prompt response to changing COVID−19 situations, a text analysis of the official government briefings and a semi-structured interview were conducted. The results show that the government may have gained confidence in their policy decision and implemented policies more decisively in the later waves despite the surge of COVID−19 cases. Our findings provide an example of an uncertainty-certainty mechanism in a crisis that explains a relationship between policy learning and confidence. We also suggest capabilities that enable governments to enhance policy effects and cope with uncertainties.

This research employs Oxford University’s COVID-19 Government Response Index (GRI) to reflect upon 147 countries’ response types and extents against the global pandemic. This GRI consists of a containment and health index, an economic support index, and the original stringency index. By utilizing multiple regression analysis, this study assesses the effects of domestic and transnational factors on the government’s stringency level. The results reveal that the governance factor turned out to have a significant positive effect. Domestic and transnational factors show partial and inconsistent effects. This study also discloses the difference in governments’ pandemic responses by continent. This study contributes to refining conventional domestic public administration theory and exploring transnational public administration theory reflected in governments’ COVID-19 responses.

The study was conducted in 2 phases. Personal interviews were conducted with the senior managers of 44 Nonprofit Organizations (NPOs), and information was processed using a coding technique to find out the ‘reason for’ and the ‘reason against’ nonprofit competition for grant acquisition (study 1). Post that, responses were collected from 377 senior NPO managers and the information was processed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (study 2). The ‘reason for’ nonprofit competition was the reputational benefit and sustainability benefit, and the ‘reason against’ nonprofit competition was the organizational barrier, knowledge barrier, and image barrier. The ‘reason for’ positively impacted and the ‘reason against’ negatively impacted the motive and intention of nonprofit leaders for grant acquisition. The motive for grant acquisition positively impacted the intention for grant acquisition in nonprofit leaders.

In this study, three types of expectations were used: positive, normative, and ideal expectation. An empirical analysis is conducted to determine whether these factors have a significant impact on expectations. Influencing factors were derived based on the concept of each expectation type: satisfaction with previous policies and public services, trust in the government, and perception of the government’s responsibility for social issues. By analyzing survey data, we find that the influencing factors related to positive and normative expectations were statistically significant. However, the results pertaining to ideal expectations diverge from our initial hypothesis. These findings underscore the importance of specifying the expectation type and considering the primary influencing factors when incorporating expectation variables in research.

It advocates for the integration of three essential capabilities – hindsight, foresight, and deep insight – into policy making systems to enhance the evidence used in policy decisions and to shift mind-sets from narrow problem-solving to creating opportunities for better futures for society. To develop hindsight capability, policy makers must transition toward a learning system that prioritizes continuous adaptation. The integration of foresight capability into policy design can enhance policy makers’ abilities to proactively anticipate and address potential future challenges. For a more comprehensive understanding of policy and its effects on stakeholders, policy makers can improve the utilization of data and user-centered design methodologies. Establishing an evidence infrastructure that incorporates academic expertise can support effective government policy making and better-informed policy choices.

Its objective is to grant a more central role to citizens/users in the policy process to create public value. While the theory continues to be relatively dispersed in the academic literature, there have been few empirical studies evaluating its applicability in improving public management processes. This article challenges the concept of co-creation by providing an analysis of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Mexico. Theoretical reflections indicate that co-creation can improve social profitability of projects by proving a participative solution to inefficiencies that are characterized by PPPs. However, the institutional and organizational barriers that hinder a state’s development and progress to develop an effective bureaucracy are still prominent lacking, especially in the developing country context, where corruption is produce and not co-creation.

We conducted panel regression analyses with random effects on development NGOs in South Korea using data collected between 2016 and 2019. In all statistical tests, organizational capacity consistently exerted a significantly positive effect on the revenue of NGOs, corroborating our theoretical predictions based on resource dependence theory. In addition, institutional practices, particularly accountability programs, were useful for those NGOs that did not already generate high revenue, while diversification had differential effects. In particular, it was helpful for relatively new NGOs to diversify their revenue sources and/or fields types but not necessarily for older and/or high-revenue NGOs.

Again, it tests whether moral identity moderates the relationship between ethical leadership and psychological capital. With data collected from 177 public servants in Malawi, this study’s findings reveal that psychological capital fully mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and work engagement while it partially mediates the ethical leadership-job satisfaction link. Furthermore, the results reveal that moral identity moderates the relationship between ethical leadership and psychological capital. The study has important implications for practice especially in human resource management in developing and adopting practices that promote work engagement and job satisfaction among employees.

Abstract: This paper attempts to shed light on budgetary politics in the National Assembly of South Korea by examining what we call a legislative budget. For analytical purposes, a legislative budget is defined as an increased or newly added budget at the comprehensive review stage of the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts. Using budget review reports from FY 2012 to FY 2015, we analyzed who benefits from legislative budgets and what types of policies and budgets are prioritized in legislative budgets. The results show that budgets for public agencies and a variety of institutions in the private sector prevailed over national and local budgets and that budgets for distributive policy accounted for an overwhelmingly larger portion than budgets for regulatory and redistributive policy. The study also finds that the ruling party and its home region secured more legislative budgets than the opposition parties and their regions.

The analysis results confirm that self-sacrifice, a dimension of PSM, is positively associated with job satisfaction, and job satisfaction is negatively related to turnover intention. However, self-sacrifice is not directly related to the turnover intention of public employees in this study.

Motivated by the importance-performance analysis methodology, this study conducts a frequency-necessity analysis to investigate networking characteristics, which leads to four networking types. Data collected from metropolitan government officials in Seoul Metropolitan Government, Korea reveal that necessary but infrequent networking, as well as unnecessary but frequent networking, negatively influences individual performance, compared to networking with necessary and frequent networking partners. The study concludes with a call for strategic networking.

The role of job autonomy as a moderator and role-based job crafting as mediator between emotional intelligence and internal employability has also been examined. The study was conducted on 296 managers working in Indian public sector enterprises and found interesting findings including a positive and direct effect of emotional intelligence on all three forms of role-based job crafting and internal employability. The results for mediation effect of job crafting and moderation effect of job autonomy varied depending upon the form of role-based job crafting. The paper discusses theoretical implications and practical relevance of these findings and may provide a direction for interlinking job demands-resources and conservation of resource theories.

Recent perspectives on the topic highlight the importance of incorporating political and value-based considerations to achieve a balanced communication style during a crisis. This article empirically tests these claims by examining whether an evidence-inclusive communication style of leadership tends to yield more successful outcomes in crisis management. We compare speeches by leaders from Portugal, Brazil, the United States, and New Zealand, to assess the main explicit knowledge and value bases of decision-making. Our findings suggest that success of a crisis response is associated with a leader’s ability to effectively communicate an evidence-based narrative, inclusive of different evidence sources, when tackling pressing and complex issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

This means that addressing climate change, environmental and social impacts will require a robust sustainable procurement approach. Yet procurement is often overlooked as an impactful sustainability strategy. We address this issue by discussing the opportunity that sustainable procurement presents, to mitigate global sustainability impacts. We present an overview of the current practice and research landscape together with future opportunities for both, while making the case for leveraging procurement to build a sustainable future.

Much of the existing literature on this topic focuses on demographic factors, with no sufficient scholarship interrogating political culture and its influence on citizen political participation. In this thesis, I employ an empirical analysis of the determinants of political participation among Kenyans using primary data I collected through an online survey. My main argument is that political culture matters in determining the patterns of political participation among Kenyans. Results from probit regression analyses illustrate that political culture significantly predicts the levels of political participation among Kenyans, across age cohorts. These findings bring up the discussion on the current rate of citizen participation in politics in Kenya, especially in a world in which democracy is increasingly under threat, and promotes case study analyses, and understanding of participatory democracy.

Although sustainability has emerged as a major concern in the international development community, there is still limited research on the sustainability of development interventions and means of practically achieving sustainability. This study fills this gap in the literature by exploring the process of achieving sustainability and assessing the dynamics among the factors that contribute to this process. Our findings reveal that sustainability is an accumulative continuum from the individual level to the community level, with different interventions and governance structures required to advance from one level to another. This study offers practical lessons for donor governments and agencies regarding the types of interventions that they should provide and the roles that they should play depending on the relevant level of sustainability.

Using the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s very first Federal Work Life Survey (2018), this study examines intergenerational variations of perceived satisfaction from federal work-life programs, supervisory support to participate in federal work life programs, and the moderating effect of work-life programs on an employee’s intention to leave. Our study confirms the existence of generational differences amongst millennials, generation X, baby boomers, and traditionalists and highlights the benefits of work-life programs for employees across generations, with particular emphasis on their attractiveness to younger workers, and the need to discover and create innovative ways to retain workers across generations in the federal workforce.

The study constructs an in-depth theoretical framework that blends elements from street-level bureaucracy theory and implementation studies. Structural equation modeling reveals a significant positive correlation between bureaucratic discretion and the perceived meaningfulness to clients, highlighting the roles of facilitation and accommodation enforcement style in determining enforcement approaches. However, the legalistic enforcement approach tends to create adverse impressions among clients and confines the decision-making capabilities of bureaucrats. The findings shed new light on street-level bureaucrats’ complex enforcement styles and behaviors, underscoring the critical interplay between their perceptions and enforcement methods in shaping their approach to policy implementation and public engagement. The study concludes by discussing these findings’ theoretical and practical implications, thereby enriching the conversation surrounding public administration theories and personnel management within public sector institutions.

Managing digital transformation initiatives has grown increasingly complex, as leaders are often confronted with a plethora of demands that can be conflicting and, at times, difficult to determine and prioritize, especially if any aspect of the capability to transform is missing. Consequently, it has become vital to gain a clear understanding of digital leadership for both practitioners and academics. In this article, we conducted a comprehensive scoping review of recent studies on digital leadership and the individuals who exemplify it – digital leaders. Our thematic analysis allowed us to categorize our findings into succinct conceptual areas including the definition of digital leadership, the theoretical underpinnings, competencies inherent to digital leadership capabilities, critical success factors, and the role of digital leadership within public sector organizations.

Nevertheless, there exists substantial variation in the extent to which each state actually carries out the executions. While studies have explored factors influencing this variation, little attention has been paid to the political role of state governors’ and legislatures’ support in the different tendencies toward death penalty executions across states. To fill this gap, we empirically tested how governors’ party affiliation and unified political support from the legislature affect death penalty executions in the U.S. We demonstrated that states with a Republican governor are more likely to execute the death penalty. Additionally, we found that this tendency is significantly stronger when both chambers of the state legislature are dominated by Republicans (i.e. Republican-unified government), which is consistent with the theoretical expectation of unified government discourse in the policy making and implementation contexts.

Scholars and practitioners highlight the risk of a ‘standard(ization) trap’, where initial benefits lead to unforeseen costs. This study reviews literature and practices in standardization, identifying confusion between two power sources: substance power, concerning WHETHER to standardize, and decision-making power, dealing with WHO standardizes. It introduces a matrix differentiating these sources, offering insights into standardization methods. This matrix proposes four archetypes of standardization: centralized standardization, centralized de-standardization, decentralized standardization, and decentralized de-standardization. These archetypes offer theoretical and practical insights for addressing standardization challenges.
