Community‐Oriented or Self‐Interested? Citizen Motivations for Engaging in Digital Coproduction
Public organizations increasingly use digitally enabled platforms such as 311 (a nonemergency service in the United States) to facilitate coproduction and improve service delivery. While prior research has examined coproducers' motivations, we know little about motivations for digital coproduction. This study examines whether residents who engage in digital coproduction are motivated by self‐interest or community orientation, and whether motivati…
Social equity in the data era
Governments increasingly rely on large amounts of data to deliver public services. In response, there is a robust discussion about the implications of this trend for efficiency and economy, but much less attention is paid to social equity. To address this issue, our study synthesizes cross‐disciplinary research on the relationship between data‐driven public services and social equity. Based on a systematic literature review of 190 articles coveri…
When blame avoidance backfires
Public officials use blame avoidance strategies when communicating performance information. While such strategies typically involve shifting blame to political opponents or other governments, we examine how they might direct blame to ethnic groups. We focus on the COVID‐19 pandemic, where the Trump administration sought to shift blame by scapegoating (using the term “Chinese virus”) and mitigate blame by positively framing performance information…
Softening Performance's Pitfalls by Integrating Context and Capacity
This article argues that government performance is better understood and managed within a broader competitiveness framework. Government competitiveness recursively integrates performance with organizational capacity and context. We illustrate this more holistic view with recent COVID‐19 examples as well as recent scholarship, including some recent PAR publications related to this topic
The Limits of Social Media for Public Administration Research and Practice
Governments around the world increasingly rely on social media to expand civic engagement. While these efforts are motivated by optimism that social media platforms have the potential to mobilize more diverse segments of the public, there is growing concern that the use of these tools by governments can reinforce existing power differentials and create new challenges for inclusion, accountability, and democracy. To understand the potential of soc…
Linking Transparency to Trust in Government and Voice
The objective of this study is to provide a more nuanced assessment of the relationship between public sector transparency and trust in government. Specifically, we examine how different tools used to enhance transparency—social media and e-government websites—relate to citizens’ perceptions of government trustworthiness. We then examine how these relationships vary according to how frequently citizens exercise voice. Findings indicate respondent…
The Effect of Transparency on Trust in Government
Transparency is considered a key value for trustworthy governments. However, the effect of transparency on citizens’ trust across national cultures is overlooked in current research. This article compares the effect of transparency on trust in government in the Netherlands and South Korea. The effect is investigated in two similar series of three experiments. The authors hypothesize that the effect of transparency differs because the countries ha…
