Beyond Discrimination? Determinants of Trust in Local Government Among Second-Generation Migrants in the Netherlands
Despite local government being the most proximal form of government, providing vital services related to social care, housing, and residency for people with a migration background, little is known about how first- and second-generation migrants develop and sustain trust in this level of government. In this study, we conduct a cross-sectional survey among second-generation migrants to explore the effects of generic and migrant-specific factors on …
Organizational and Individual Factors of Evidence Informed Policy Making in Public Organizations
Understanding the use of evidence by public organizations and public officials is a key issue for public administration scholars and practitioners. In this study, we examine how individual‐ and organizational‐level factors relate to evidence informed policy making. Using the Norm of Evidence and Research in Decision‐making (NERD), we conduct an online survey to analyze evidence informed policy making perceptions of public officials (n = 438) hold…
Public officials’ motivated reasoning and their interpretation of policy information
Evidence based policy making is premised on the idea that policymakers use policy information in an accurate and unbiased way. However, the interpretation and application of policy information is a cognitive process open to misinterpretation and bias, especially in politically salient policy environments. In this generalization and extension replication, we conduct two randomized survey experiments to test the effects of motivated reasoning and p…
Public sector workers' support for technocracy. Comparative evidence from 25 European countries
Are public sector workers more supportive of technocracy than people not employed in the public sector? Public sector workers play an important role in the functioning and safeguarding of democracy. However, because of their training as neutral and competent policy workers and implementers, it is often claimed that they hold relatively strong technocratic attitudes. In this study, we compare the support for technocracy of 35,395 public sector and…
A systematic review of the literature on determinants of public managers' attitudes toward public participation
Serving Multiple Masters? Public Managers’ Role Perceptions in Participatory Budgeting
Participatory budgeting is fast becoming a popular form of public participation. Public managers play an important role in organizing and implementing participatory budgeting. Their role perceptions affect whether they use their discretion to limit or increase residents’ say in participatory processes. However, we know little about public managers’ role perceptions in participatory budgeting. In this study, we develop a typology of public manager…
Increasing the cost of participation
Red tape is seen as a destructive organizational force that reduces public officials’ motivation and curtails organizational performance. By increasing the time, cost, and effort required to inform the public and coordinate participation, red tape has also been said to reduce public officials’ positive attitudes toward public participation. However, research on the effects of red tape on public officials’ attitudes toward public participation rem…
Public managers’ trust in citizens and their preferences for behavioral policy instruments
Local public managers increasingly use behavioral policy instruments to influence the behavior of citizens. However, despite their increased reliance on these instruments, there is little evidence on why local public manager would prefer behavioral instruments over classic stick, carrot or sermon-type instruments. We conduct a mixed-methods study, combining a stated-preference survey and two focus groups, to examine whether senior local public ma…
Gamification in Dutch Businesses
An in-depth case study approach was followed and data were collected by means of nine semi-structured interviews with experts from six case organizations. Our findings indicate that gamification of work can be a promising path for working organizations and can be beneficial to both employers and employees. The success of gamification at the workplace is dependent on whether its implementation is able to fulfill employees’ psychological needs for …
When Will Public Officials Listen? A Vignette Experiment on the Effects of Input Legitimacy on Public Officials’ Willingness to Use Public Participation
Public officials can be reluctant to use citizens’ input in decision‐making, especially when turnout is low and participants are unrepresentative of the wider population. Using Fritz Scharpf's democratic legitimacy approach, the authors conducted a survey‐based vignette experiment to examine how the input legitimacy of participatory processes affects (1) public officials’ willingness to use public participation in administrative decision‐making, …
Explaining non-adoption of electronic government services by citizens
This paper analyses citizen motives for not using electronic government services. Using qualitative interviews among users of Citizens ́ Service Centers in Latvia, this paper analyses the motives of citizens not to use electronic government services but to rely on non-electronic equivalents or on in-person assistance. It expands the literature on e-commerce and e-government through an explicit focus on non-adoption rather than adoption. Findings …
