The absorption of research knowledge by public civil servants
The aim of this study is to revisit the major theoretical perspectives on research utilisation by public civil servants, to propose a new conceptual framework of the absorption of research knowledge by these civil servants and to provide a first empirical testing of the proposed conceptual framework. Some of the empirical findings are particularly interesting as they seem to converge with the well-known ‘bounded’ aspect of rational action. For ex…
The Extent and Organizational Determinants of Research Utilization in Canadian Health Services Organizations
This article focuses on the use of research by managers and professionals in Canadian health service organizations (ministries, regional authorities, and hospitals). The results of the analysis of the 928 responses underlined the important role that the absorption, learning, culture, and linkage mechanism variables played in determining utilization. General linear regression and regression by organizational type confirmed the importance of the li…

New Evidence on Instrumental, Conceptual, and Symbolic Utilization of University Research in Government Agencies
This article addresses three questions: What is the extent of instrumental, conceptual, and symbolic use of university research in government agencies? Are there differences between the policy domains in regard to the extent of each type of use? What are the determinants of instrumental, conceptual, and symbolic use of university research? Based on a survey of 833 government officials, the results suggest that (1) the three types of use of resear…
The Extent and Determinants of the Utilization of University Research in Government Agencies
This article addresses three questions: To what extent is university research used in government agencies? Are there differences between the policy domains in regard to the extent of use? What determines the use of university research in government agencies? The data analysis is based on a survey of 833 government officials from Canadian government agencies. Comparisons of the magnitude of uptake of university research show large and significant …

Climbing the Ladder of Research Utilization: Evidence from Social Science Research
In this article, the Knott and Wildavsky stages of knowledge utilization are considered separately and compared with the previous stage to find factors explaining why researchers are able to climb up the ladder of knowledge utilization from the echelon of no transmission to transmission, then to cognition, reference, effort, influence, and application. The results suggest that there are barriers to climbing and that these barriers are primarily l…
Les déterminants de l'effort de lobbying des associations au Canada
This study addresses three questions: to what extent lobbying efforts undertaken by associations vary across different types of associations; what are the different lobbying instruments used by Canadian associations; what factors explain the intensity of the lobbying efforts deployed by the Canadian associations? These questions are dealt with through a sample of 438 associations operating in 12 different policy domains and at three possible leve…
On the Determinants of Scientists' Collaboration
The research reported in this article is a methodological departure from prior studies on scientific collaboration in two ways. First, the sample of the study included scientists from all types of research. Second, the study uses an econometric framework to examine the factors that affect scientists' collaborative activities. The results bolster the contention that scientists' collaboration is motivated by strategic and organizational, as well as…
Le projet de réforme du système canadien de sécurité sociale à la lumière du management public
Évaluation des limites du contrôle par les règles comme instrument de gestion: Comparaison des centres publics et privés d’accueil d’hébergement pour personnes âgées
Economic models of institutional analysis demonstrate that structural reforms exert very limited impacts on services and that margins for maneuver of policy instruments concerning financial and regulatory interventions are very narrow. The study of a concrete setting, that of nursing homes for the elderly, indicates that rules regulating the allocation of staff and budgetary resources concern relations between producers and not the production of …
Administrative Reform and Political Control in Canada
The federal and provincial governments elected in Canada over the last ten years have defeated their opponents in promising to manage government in a more productive manner, especially through the intro duction of businesslike managerial practices. After a first series of across the board cuts in the operational expenditures of the governmental departments and agencies, they have undertaken very significant manage rial reforms, especially at the …

L'offre d'interventions gouvernementales aux groupes: Une Thérie Et Une Application
Les études sur l'offre d'interventions gouvernementales portent généralement sur les valeurs, les idéologies ou les stratégies des dirigeants de partis. Les travaux théoriques sur cette question prédisent que, dans un monde où l'information est imparfaite et coûteuse, les politiciens sont incités à formuler des interventions dont les bénéfices concentrés vont de pair avec des coûts diffus. Les auteurs développent une théorie de l'offre d'interven…

La décision de construire le tracé hydro-électrique Chénier-Châteauguay: Une Analyse Cybernétique
The cybernetic approach used here rests on the concept of the feedback loop. In contrast to the classical models of political science, the perspective adopted here is not oriented toward the construction of a taxonomy, but toward a more advanced formulation of interaction among the elements of a given system. The analysis develops around eight main principal problems: location; information-consultation; institutional constraints; ecology; agricul…

L'analyse cybernétique des politiques gouvernementales
Cybernetic analysis is part of the systems approach and has been used by several authors to study governmental policies or public decisions. Nevertheless, the way in which it is used in this article is different from preceding attempts. Regulation by feedback is considered as being complex rather than simple; positive feedback seems neither exceptional nor pathological, and great emphasis is placed on power relations in the phenomena of regulatio…
