Striking multiple balances in cross-sector collaborations
In cross-sector collaborations (CSCs), leaders must navigate the complex and often conflicting demands of the public, business, and nonprofit sectors. This study explores how leaders manage this institutional complexity through a multi-level framework, drawing on a case study of a tri-sector partnership developing technology for disaster management. Based on evidence from 27 interviews, observations, and documentary material, we identify the lead…
Multiple Competition? An Analysis of Thematic Research Clusters on Competition and Higher Education
Competition in higher education is widespread. Its prevalence is accompanied by increasing interrelations between different competitions. This article systematically analyses the as yet underexplored intellectual structure of the international scholarly discussion on competition in higher education, including its relation to science and industry, based on a combination of bibliometric coupling and qualitative content analysis using a database of …
How Does Sector Matter in Job Preferences? An Adaptive Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis
Despite considerable research on attraction to public service jobs, it remains challenging to determine the extent to which the employment sector influences job choice decisions and how the public sector compares to other sectors in these decisions. This study tackles this scholarly and practical issue by employing an adaptive choice-based conjoint (ACBC) design to analyze job preferences among young and highly educated professionals in Germany, …
Sector switchers, what drives you? Exploring career shifts from private to public sector
In the face of workforce shortages and transformation challenges, private-sector workers are valuable recruitment targets for public employers. However, little is still known about the drivers of career transitions across sectors. This study utilizes panel data from Germany to explore extrinsic, intrinsic, and prosocial values of private-to-public sector switchers vis-à-vis workers who change employers within the private sector. Based on more tha…
Prioritizing Along Prototypes
Public employees are expected to treat all citizens equally; however, due to limited resources and increasing demands, they often simplify their decisions by prioritizing based on social categories. Whereas previous studies have often focused on a few or even a single category at a time, this article employs a broader framework consisting of six citizen prototypes that public employees apply simultaneously in their assessments. The results of a c…
Cross-country differences in implicit citizenship and servantship theories
The perceptions that citizens and public servants hold about themselves and each other can significantly impact their attitudes and behaviors and, consequently, the legitimacy and effectiveness of public services. Previous scholarship has initiated the exploration of the socio-cognitive foundations of state–citizen relations; however, it remains conceptually fragmented and largely based on empirical evidence from Western administrative systems. B…
Time to rediscover task-oriented leadership? A multi-source, time-lagged study on leadership and well-being in public service jobs
Although leaders have a considerable impact on the well-being of public employees, this relationship has not yet been fully disentangled in both conceptual and empirical terms. We develop a framework of how task- and relations-oriented leadership affect well-being (i.e. hedonic, eudaimonic, social dimensions). A multi-source, time-lagged study from a large Danish municipality shows that task-oriented leadership yields positive associations with b…
Do Vulnerable Citizens (Really) Perceive Higher Bureaucracy Costs? Testing a Key Claim of the Administrative Burden Framework
A key claim of the administrative burden framework is that vulnerable citizens are more affected by administrative burden than others. We test this assumption using the life events survey in Germany, an official data record covering more than 10,000 administrative encounters involving more than 5000 citizens. We find support only for the psychological costs of perceived discrimination, whereas neither compliance nor learning costs are positively …
Following Your Ideal Leader
Although social comparisons are ubiquitous in leadership, previous scholarship in public administration has not yet studied comparative aspects of how followers perceive and respond to leadership. This study addresses this gap and disentangles the link between leadership and work engagement from a socio-cognitive and relational perspective. It examines how public employees compare their real leaders against ideal leaders and how perceived gaps be…
From social categorization to implicit citizenship theories
Public administration research has recently paid increasing attention to public employees' social categorization of citizens and the consequences thereof for administrative decision‐making. We advance this line of scholarship by theorizing the concept of implicit citizenship theories (ICTs) and elaborating it in four sequential empirical studies. ICTs are implicit assumptions about citizens' typical or ideal characteristics that emerge freely and…
Satisficing or maximizing in public–private partnerships? A laboratory experiment on strategic bargaining
Cross-sectoral strategic negotiation is a key challenge in PPPs. Based on framing and game theory, we investigate the effect of sectoral agency, affect, and bargaining domain on sectoral agents’ bargaining behaviour in a PPP renegotiation scenario. Results confirm that public agents are more likely to bargain for satisfactory, ‘good enough’ contracts than private agents, who maximize their utility. This difference is stronger in the loss vis-a-vi…
In search of legitimacy
Management consultants are often hidden and therefore understudied actors in public administration. Building on institutional and social identity theory, we investigate consultants’ identity work in search of legitimacy as knowledge providers in the public sector. We substantiate our theoretical reasoning with 43 semi-structured interviews with consultants and clients and extract four social identities of consultants, only one of which complies w…
Do Inclusive Workplace Policies Foster Employer Attractiveness? Comparative Evidence From an Online Employer Review Platform
Public sector employers increasingly promote inclusive workplaces, but the impact of such policies on employees’ perceptions of employer attractiveness has rarely been studied. A deeper understanding of how inclusive workplaces relate to employer attractiveness, and how this relationship differs between employment sectors, may inform recruitment policies and retention management. This study tackles this issue and provides a large-scale analysis o…
Theories and theorizing in public administration
Theories and theorizing are central to scholarship on public administration (PA). Only a few attempts have been made to review the theories applied in PA broadly and systematically, to take stock of the theoretical repertoire, and to engage scholars in critical reflection on how they “do” theorizing. This study analyzes the theoretical landscape of PA scholarship with a novel combination of bibliometrics and natural language processing. A “tree o…
What Drives the Attractiveness of Public and Private Employers? Comparative Evidence From an Online Employer Review Platform
Employees’ attraction to public or private employers is an issue of enduring practical concern and scholarly debate, with inconclusive evidence of both the levels and the drivers of employer attractiveness. This study builds on online reviews of more than 5,000 U.S.-based organizations by more than 200,000 current and former employees, using their recommendations as a behavioral and consequential measure of employer attractiveness. Results of a r…
Giving sense about paradoxes
Although paradoxes are inherent to the public sector, few attempts have been made to better understand how to manage such competing yet interrelated demands effectively. This study examines how paradoxical leadership (i.e., leaders’ sense-giving about organizational paradoxes) affects follower outcomes. Based on two-wave survey data from German district offices, structural equation modelling reveals that paradoxical leadership positively influenc…
Finding a mission in bureaucracies
Finding a mission is important for employees to perform well in public service jobs. Research has demonstrated that leadership can facilitate mission valence among followers, but if and how leadership unfolds this effect in the presence of excessive bureaucracy (i.e., red tape) is unclear. This interaction is particularly interesting in the case of authentic leadership (i.e., a positive leadership style based on self‐awareness, consistent behavio…
Aggressions and associations
Scholars have recently spent growing attention to what public employees think of citizens, which influences policy implementation through more manifest attitudes and behaviors. The origins of employees' positive and negative associations with citizens have, however, not been examined thus far. This study draws attention to workplace aggression as critical incidents in state‐citizen encounters and examines the traces they leave in employees' subse…
A century of Public Administration
Public Administration (PA) has been a unique witness and protagonist of scholarship in the field of public administration over the course of an entire century. On the occasion of the journal's 100th anniversary, we conduct a systematic analysis of the publication history using bibliometric methods enhanced by natural language processing. The findings show how disciplinary influences, geographical settings, and methodological orientations have cha…
Leadership in the public sector
Leadership has attracted growing attention among scholars and practitioners in public administration. With the rising availability of study results, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track under which conditions leadership does or does not make a difference in the public sector. This study provides a meta‐analysis of administrative leadership and various correlates that research has theorized as outcomes of leadership. The result…
Sector-Specific Associations, Trust, and Survival of PPPs
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have become widespread in the delivery of public services. This study explores behavioral mechanisms of building and eroding trust in partnering across sectors at the micro-level of interaction between public and private partners. Combining classic theoretical concepts on the development of interorganizational trust and administrative behavior, this study derives theory suggesting that partners’ sector affiliati…
The a priori of public leadership
Previous scholarship provides little insight into the differences between public and private leadership in people's a priori assumptions about leaders. We advance a socio‐cognitive approach and examine how implicit social attributions to leaders are contingent on sector and performance cues. Participants completed the Semantic Misattribution Procedure to reveal implicit associations of traits with leaders in contrasting scenarios. Results show th…
What is Public about Public Leadership? Exploring ImplicitPublicLeadership Theories
While scholarship on public leadership has recently gained momentum in public administration, it is unclear how researchers should account for the “public” in public leadership. We shed new light on this issue by introducing the approach of Implicit Leadership Theories (ILTs) to the field of public administration. This socio-cognitive approach suggests that people’s everyday, rather than scholarly, theories about the characteristics of leaders pr…
Developing a short scale to assess public leadership
Tummers and Knies (2016) have recently introduced a 21‐item scale for the measurement of public leadership to the burgeoning field of leadership research in public administration. However, due to restrictions in survey length and response time, scholars often face practical difficulties when adopting measurement scales of such length. In many subfields of public administration, this results in a proliferation of ad hoc measures of unknown validit…
The Tacit Dimension of Public Sector Attraction in Multi-Incentive Settings
The public sector provides a broad range of incentives to apply for jobs, but these incentives have rarely been studied in concert. The present study disentangles how job candidates form intentions to apply for a public sector job in multi-incentive settings and how this process depends on public service motivation (PSM). Using a speeded categorization task in an experimental vignette methodology with 340 current job seekers in the United Kingdom…

Public service motivation and continuous organizational change
Building change capabilities into public organizations is a challenge for strategic management. This study focuses on the micro‐level of extra‐role behaviours that contribute to continuous improvements in working procedures at the front‐end of organizations (i.e., taking charge behaviour; TCB). More particularly, we examine public service motivation (PSM) as a key variable mediating between perceived practices and TCB of street‐level bureaucrats.…

Framing and Counter‐framing New Public Management
In this paper I explore the conflict between managerial and bureaucratic models of public sector management from the discursive perspective in institutional theory. Taking the under‐researched case of Germany, I conduct a textual analysis of seminal publications in the discourse on public sector reform and reveal the subversive framing conflict which accompanies the proliferation of private managerial models in the public sector. As the most gene…

Something old, something new, something borrowed
Public professionals are increasingly involved in collaborative relationships with citizens to design, implement and evaluate public services. We investigate how actors derive a specific social identity from the institutional logic of cross‐sectoral collaboration and how this social identity translates into the self‐identities of professionals. Based on an analysis of 44 semi‐structured interviews in Germany, we examine how public professionals c…
What Happened to the Public Organization? A Bibliometric Analysis of Public Administration and Organization Studies
Despite their common roots in the early theories of organization, public administration and organization studies have evolved separately. This article explores the conditions that favor and initiate the cross-boundary exchange of knowledge between these two fields. The study applies bibliometric methodology and advances standard methods of science-mapping by combining different levels of analysis in a two-mode network, drawing on citation data fr…

Parallel, Transfer or Collaboration Strategy of Relating Theory to Practice? A Case Study of Public Management Debate in Germany
The relationship between theory and practice is essential to ‘applied sciences' such as public management. However, the current debate on this topic lacks empirical substantiation. Here I develop a methodology for the indication of how the theory-practice gap is actually addressed in a given subfield of management enquiry. I distinguish three archetypal strategies of relating theory to practice and develop several bibliometric indicators for them…

The Dynamic Capability View in Strategic Management
The dynamic capability view ( DCV ) is one of the most vibrant approaches to strategic management. In this study, the extant literature published between 1994 and 2011 is analysed, using bibliometric methods in order to explore the scope of this approach and detect current research priorities. For this purpose, the method of bibliographic coupling is introduced in management research, which shifts the focus of analysis from past traditions to cur…

Public Leadership
This study analyses and reviews the literature on public leadership with a novel combination of bibliometric methods. We detect four generic approaches to public leadership (i.e. a functionalist, a behavioural, a biographical and a reformist approach) which differ with regard to their philosophy of science (i.e. objective vs subjective) and level of analysis (i.e. micro-level vs multi-level). From our findings, we derive four directions for futur…
