Balancing Neutral and Responsive Competences in the Context of Functional Politicization
Democratic governments can legitimately expect permanent civil servants to undertake functionally politicized tasks, such as providing political‐tactical advice. However, safeguarding the neutrality and legitimacy of a permanent civil service in the context of functional politicization necessitates that political considerations do not override professional judgment or impede the delivery of free, frank and fearless advice. Although existing resea…

Shaping the Crisis Management‐Public Administration Nexus
In the current age of time, characterized by mounting global crises, including natural disasters, pandemics, political disruptions, wars, conflicts, and terrorism, the role of crisis management within public administration has become increasingly vital. This paper addresses a significant gap in the literature by conducting a systematic review of research on the intersection of crisis management and public administration. The first contribution of…
From Presence to Policy
While public administration research has begun exploring the impact of women's representation in top leadership positions in public organizations, the conditions under which women's representation in top management teams (TMTs) produces policies specifically benefiting women remain underexamined. Using a panel dataset covering 276 Chinese municipalities (2010–2018), this study examines how women's representation in mayoral teams affects women‐sen…
Managing in all the right directions? The relationship between public managers’ perceived autonomy and leading upwards, sidewards, outwards and downwards
Although researchers have discussed autonomy as important at the organizational level, the autonomy of the individual manager has not received similar attention. Knowledge about how managerial autonomy is used is, however, important for understanding the conditions under which management matters. We ask whether perceived managerial autonomy enables public managers to prioritize their efforts to support their individual career progression, organiz…
In unsteady waters
Public service bargains (PSBs) have become a central heuristic to understand the relationship between politicians and senior bureaucrats. In this article, we add to the existing literature by exploring how both politicians and senior bureaucrats make sense of a PSB in disequilibrium. Based on individual and focus group interviews and six case studies of breakdown in the bargain, we find that bargains may be unstable due to both changing circumsta…
Perceived Changes in Leadership Behavior during Formal Leadership Education
The aim of this study is to research how leaders’ subordinates, peers, and superiors perceive changes in leadership behavior (measured as task, relation, and change orientations) when leaders in their organization participate in formal leadership education. This question is addressed in a longitudinal 3-year study. This article uses data from a panel of respondents ( n = 860–897) from four Danish municipalities. Descriptive statistics and leader …
Recruitment and Selection in the Public Sector
This study investigates the effects of optimal rule control on recruitment and selection practices in public organizations. Although rules are argued to constrain organizational practices and organizational performance, there is limited knowledge about the relationship of optimal rule control to recruitment and selection practices from a managerial perspective. By conducting a study with survey responses from 1,000 public frontline managers, comb…
Top managers in public organizations
Despite increasing attention, top management research has been heavily dominated by a focus on private companies with much less emphasis on the top managers in public organizations. We present a systematic literature review of 212 studies focused on public sector top managers published between 2005 and 2020. First, the paper provides descriptive results suggesting that the empirical focus on top managers in the public sector is increasing, though…
Right time to join? Organizational imprinting and women's careers in public service organizations
Women across the economy continue to encounter difficulties in progressing their careers as occupational segregation and precarious conditions symbolized by the “glass ceiling” and “glass cliff” indicate. Theories of imprint‐organization fit indicate that organizational munificence at the time of appointment may be an important influence on individual careers. Prosperous conditions at the time of hire might generate confidence and capability, whi…
Keeping it within bounds
International business researchers commonly estimate proportions, percentages, rates, or fractions – so-called “proportional dependent variables”. In this paper, we posit that two regression strategies are particularly pertinent to the international business field: Tobit and fractional regression. Reviewing recent international business research, we find that, while fractional regression is rarely used, analyses from Tobit regression are often in…
Does Good Performance Reduce Bad Behavior? Antecedents of Ethnic Employment Discrimination in Public Organizations
Equal treatment is a key feature of modern bureaucracy. However, several studies have shown that public organizations discriminate against ethnic and racial minorities to different degrees. Which organizational features explain differences in discrimination is largely unknown. This article proposes that organizational performance relates to an organization's likelihood of engaging in employment discrimination and argues that poor‐performing organ…
The gender wage gap and the moderating effect of education in public and private sector employment
In many countries, the rules and statutes governing public employment promote both transparency and accountability in employee hiring, promotion, and wage setting. These aspects of public employment might mitigate the pay inequalities women face in the public workplace relative to the private sector. At the same time, these formal aspects of public sector employment and payment systems might also limit the ability of women in the public sector to…
Where Do Policy Innovations Come From
Employee Turnover in Hybrid Organizations
Public sector reforms are increasingly blurring the boundaries between the public and private sectors, making way for hybrid organizations existing between the two sectors. While research has begun to explore organizational hybridity and how it affects employee identities and outcomes, knowledge about employee behaviour in hybrid organizations is scarce. Public–private hybrid organizations face the challenge of balancing some degree of privatenes…
The Right Mix? Gender Diversity in Top Management Teams and Financial Performance
Recent research has illustrated that demographic diversity influences the outcomes of public sector organizations. Most studies have focused on workforce diversity; by comparison, little is known about how managerial diversity affects organizational outcomes. This article focuses on gender diversity in the top management teams of public organizations and its relationship to financial performance. Theory suggests that management diversity can be a…
New Executives from Inside or Outside? The Effect of Executive Replacement on Organizational Change
This article investigates how executive succession influences the comprehensiveness of structural changes pursued by public organizations. Executive successions are important events for organizations that provide salient opportunities for introducing organizational change, yet little research has analyzed this relationship. The author argues that the less familiarity a new executive has with the organization and the field in which it works, the m…
Internal or External Production and Satisfaction with the Chosen Sourcing in Danish Municipalities
There is a large literature on both why local governments and public organisations choose internal or external production of services and what explains the performance of internal and external production. A range of different theories have been used to answer these questions. However, these studies show mixed results. In this study we investigate four theories: transaction cost economics, neoclassical economics, the resource-based view of strateg…
Structural Embeddedness of Political Top Executives as Explanation of Policy Isomorphism
This study examines structural embeddedness of political executives as an antecedent of policy isomorphism in municipalities. Surprisingly, little public management research investigates the institutional and structural backgrounds for decision making and action. This article argues that the social network of political executives constitutes a conduit in which information as well as expectations and pressures flow. The study uses rare full relati…
