Decisions in Research Review Boards: The Roles of Individual Characteristics and Communication Medium
This article examines how individual characteristics and choice of communication medium influence the acceptance of research proposals by institutional review boards. Lab experiments were used to assess subject decisions in simulated review board processes regarding four mock research proposals. Results indicate that participants were less likely to approve risky scientific research proposals than those with lower risk and fewer ethical issues, b…
Public Service Motivation (PSM) and Support for Citizen Participation: A Test of Perry and Vandenabeele’s Reformulation of PSM Theory
This article examines how public service motivation (PSM) relates to public managers’ attitudes toward citizen participation. Perry and Vandenabeele suggest that PSM effects are moderated and/or mediated by self‐regulation and by the salience of an activity to self‐identity. Using data from Phase IV of the National Administrative Studies Project, latent model results suggest a direct, positive relationship between PSM and citizen participation ev…
Models of E‐Government: Are They Correct? An Empirical Assessment
Research into e‐government is relatively new. Nevertheless, much contemporary thinking and writing about e‐government is driven by normative models that appeared less than a decade ago. The authors present empirical evidence from three surveys of local e‐government in the United States to test whether these models are accurate or useful for understanding the actual development of e‐government. They find that local e‐government is mainly informati…
What Drives Morally Committed Citizens? A Study of the Antecedents of Public Service Motivation
This study examines the relationship between public service motivation and antecedents believed to be important determinants of moral commitment. Research conducted during the past decade indicates that public service motivation is a valid construct that is useful for predicting outcomes that are important to public organizations and to society. The sample for the empirical study consists of winners of the Daily Point of Light Award and the Presi…
Organizational Effectiveness and Bureaucratic Red Tape: A Multimethod Study
Although many efforts to improve the effectiveness of government agencies target bureaucratic red tape, little academic work has evaluated the implications of red tape for organizational performance. This article proposes and tests a model of organizational effectiveness that explicitly accounts for red tape and the mitigating effect of organizational culture. This multimethod study uses both quantitative data from questionnaires and qualitative …
Content Domain, Measurement, and Validity of the Red Tape Concept: A Second-Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Red tape, generally defined as burdensome rules and procedures, is a relatively new construct unique to the public management literature. Like many public management constructs, red tape has received scant measurement attention. This study uses second-order confirmatory factor analysis to test two varying theoretical perspectives, one that treats red tape as a formative index, derived from inflexibility in various management subsystems (e.g., bud…
Public Service Motivation Measurement: Testing an Abridged Version of Perry's Proposed Scale
This article proposes and tests a three-dimension, shortened instrument for public service motivation based on Perry's (1996) exploratory 24-item scale. A confirmatory factor analysis is used with both a diagonally weighted least squares and a modified version of maximum likelihood estimation that are more appropriate for ordinal indicators. Data from the National Administrative Studies Project, consisting of mail surveys of managers engaged in i…
Ethical Work Climates: Comparing Top Managers in Public and Private Organizations
This is an exploratory study of sector differences related to ethical work climates, an emerging research area of organizational ethics. A national sample was conducted of top managers from three different regions of the United States, using ethical measures from previous ethical climate research. The analysis indicates that public managers generally perceive the ethical climates of their organizations less favorably than do their private sector …

Information Credibility and Choosing Policy Alternatives: An Experimental Test of Cognitive-Response Theory
Recent studies suggest that individual perceptions of information credibility are important determinants of knowledge utilization in government decisionmaking. This theory—credibility logic—has been mostly normative. One positive theory, cognitive response, is used along with credibility-logic arguments to predict evaluations of alternatives with varying degrees of net benefits and information credibility. Experimental results for 75 MPA students…

Using Experiments in Knowledge Utilization Research: Strengths, Weaknesses and Potential Applications
Experiments are relatively uncommon in knowledge utilization research compared with nonexperimental methods. This article reviews the perceived weaknesses and strengths of experimental methods and discusses possible uses of experiments in knowledge utilization research
Software Reviews: Expressionist
EXPRESSIONIST is a scientific word-processing package that produces complex mathematical equations primarily with laser printers. It can operate alone or in conjunction with MACWRITE. The program is easy to use and has quite powerful editing capabilities. The user manual is a bit difficult to use. Overall, EXPRESSIONIST is a fine program for preparing mathematical equations
