Redefining Morally Conscious Decision-Making for the Public Sector: A Theoretical Analysis
This paper proposes a conceptual definition of morally conscious decision-making as “cognizant processing of an actor’s core values setting aside self-interest when presented with a dilemma.” Using moral phenomenology, Deweyan pragmatism, and piecing together previous works on decision-making, we develop a definitional framework that makes a case for specified and refined scopes of our understanding of morality and ethics in public administration…
Active Transportation Policies: Do Media Narratives Matter
The intersection of media, public opinion, politics, and their relationship with public policy is well documented. Taking the issue of active transportation, we examine if media narratives on bicycle and pedestrian crashes appear important in shaping policy. We define positive and negative narratives portraying bicyclists and pedestrians as victims and villains respectively. Our research objective is to understand if media narratives have an effe…
Microcredit and development: A Multi-Level Examination of Women's Participation in Microfinance Institutions
International organisations promote microcredit as a tool for socio-economic development by targeting women’s entrepreneurial capabilities. There is limited research, however, on the variation in women’s participation in microcredit in developing nations. To understand this variation, this article examines the relationship between a country’s gender equality levels and women’s microcredit participation. The results indicate that participation is …
Exploring the Participation of Women in Financial Cooperatives and Credit Unions in Developing Countries
Participation of women in microfinance institutions (MFIs) is touted to advance development in developing economies. By applying the stakeholder theory, we examine the magnitude of women’s participation across MFIs based on their legal characteristics, that is, cooperatives and non-cooperatives across the following dimensions—organizational size, efficiency, loan size, and gender mix. We find that in the case of the cooperative types of MFIs, inc…
Utilization of Technology by Long-Term Care Providers: Comparisons Between For-Profit and Nonprofit Institutions
The reasons for which nonprofit long-term care organizations report higher levels of some types of technology utilization are explored, and future research is recommended
Assessing the Participation of Women in Microfinance Institutions: Evidence From a Multinational Study
Microfinance institutions (MFIs) typically offer small credit services with no collateral to low-income clients, particularly women microentrepreneurs. Evidence suggests that microcredit services are an effective tool for the social and financial empowerment of women and have a significant impact on maternal health, children's education, and sustainable economic growth. With multiple financial institutions offering various microfinance services, …
Community Organizing for Health Care: An Analysis of the Process

In response, concerned citizens and voluntary organizations have attempted to organize to transform policies and to implement new healthcare services. The author adopts a researcher participant role and examines the organizing process by studying six nonprofit agencies, one pub…
Personal social media usage and its impact on administrative accountability: An exploration of theory and practice
In the internet era, the boundaries between public and private lives of government employees are often blurred, resulting in enhanced concerns about administrative accountability and effectiveness. By adopting a multi-step qualitative methodology involving internet survey and analysis of illustrative examples, this research explores and examines how social media policies could assist in keeping the public and private lives of civil servants disti…
