Engagement, Exhaustion, and Perceived Performance of Public Employees Before and During the Covid-19 Crisis
At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Swiss federal government implemented a lockdown that prompted a majority of private and public organizations to implement teleworking solutions for their employees. This study aimed to examine the impact of work modalities, job-related, relational, and organizational climate variables on employees’ engagement, exhaustion, and perceived performance both before and during the forced teleworking period. Ba…
Job satisfaction in African public administrations: A systematic review
In this study, we present a review of public agents’ job satisfaction in Africa between 1990 and 2014. Using the systematic review methodology, we analyse and put in perspective 22 English and French publications on this subject. Results suggest that work environment attributes are the most important antecedents of job satisfaction among African public servants, whereas the effects of personal and work characteristics are marginal. We also found …

Utilisant la méthodologie de la revue systématique, 22 publications anglophones et francophones sur le sujet sont analysées et mises en perspective. Les résultats montrent que les caractéristiques liées à l’environnement du travail sont les déterminants majeurs de la satisfaction au travail des agents publics …
Work Opportunities and Organizational Commitment in International Organizations
This article applies social exchange theory to investigate the relationships between work opportunities and organizational commitment in four United Nations agencies. It demonstrates that international civil servants who are satisfied with their altruistic, social, and extrinsic work opportunities are more likely to declare high levels of organizational commitment. Furthermore, perceived organizational support mediates these relationships. The em…
Developing a conceptual framework to analyse professionalization in sport federations
Existing research on sport organisations is imprecise in the use of the concept 'professionalisation'. Furthermore, we do not know if analytical concepts of professionalisation correspond with the understanding in practice. This study explores the perceptions of practitioners and proposes a framework to analyse professionalisation in national sport federations. Expert interviews were conducted with six key people from Swiss national sport federat…
The slow transformation of Swiss federal administrative elites
This article sets out to study the profile of Swiss administrative elites at federal level by showing how their profile has evolved in the light of what has come to be known as the wave of New Public Management (NPM), which has benefited from a very fertile ground in Switzerland. These elites correspond to a specific institutional order, in relation to specific organizational structures and workings, and have specific characteristics in terms of …

Policy Environment and Public Service Motivation
This article analyzes whether and to what extent the policy environment of civil servants has an impact on their level of Public Service Motivation ( PSM ). It hypothesizes that public employees working in different policy domains and stages of the policy cycle are diversely motivated by four PSM orientations (Compassion, Commitment to the public interest, Self‐sacrifice and Attraction to politics). The empirical results are based on a survey of …
Motivations et Valeurs Des Agents Publics à L'Épreuve Des Réformes
Les organisations et les administrations publiques se trouvent dans une dynamique de réformes depuis plusieurs décennies. De nouveaux principes et outils de gestion sont mis en œuvre, prenant souvent pour modèles les recettes managériales conçues dans les entreprises du secteur privé. Or, ces évolutions préoccupent, voire inquiètent, les acteurs qui travaillent dans les organisations publiques ou qui les étudient. Des thèmes sont récurrents. Comm…
Resigned but Satisfied: The Negative Impact of Public Service Motivation and Red Tape on Work Satisfaction
This article examines the relationship between red tape, Public Service Motivation (PSM) and a particular work outcome labelled ‘resigned satisfaction’. Using data from a national survey of over 3754 public servants working at the municipal level in Switzerland, this study shows the importance of looking more closely at the concept of work satisfaction and, furthermore, of thoroughly investigating the impact of the different PSM dimensions on wor…
Putting public service motivation into context: A balance between universalism and particularism
Research on Public Service Motivation (PSM) has increased enormously in the last 20 years. Besides the analysis of the antecedents of PSM and its impact on organizations and individuals, many open questions about the nature of PSM itself still remain. This article argues that the theoretical construct of PSM should be contextualized by integrating the political and administrative contexts of public servants when investigating their specific attit…
Les leviers de la performance individuelle et collective dans les organisations publiques Suisses: L'importance d'un pilotage participatif
L’article montre que la perception positive par les agents publics de leur performance individuelle et collective est largement tributaire de facteurs organisationnels et met en exergue l’importance centrale du pilotage « participatif » et centré sur les valeurs. Les résultats d’une enquête menée par les auteurs au sein de quelques organisations publiques de Suisse romande mettent en évidence l’importance de facteurs tels que l’ambiance de travai…
Les difficultés de gestion des partenariats public-privé en Europe: Pour une lecture « institutionnelle »
Les partenariats public-privé se développent dans la quasi-totalité des pays de l’OCDE. De nombreux acteurs, publics ou privés, y voient un moyen pour développer de nouvelles infrastructures et prestations publiques à moindre coût et de manière sensiblement plus rapide et plus efficace. Considérés sous l’angle de leur gestion, les PPP s’avèrent finalement bien plus complexes qu’ils ne paraissent au premier abord. Fondé sur une revue de la littéra…
Modernization routes and relations between political and administrative spheres in Switzerland
On the basis of three case studies, the authors attempt to identify changes in relationships between politicians and senior civil servants. Reforms inspired by ‘New Public Management’ (NPM) have been implemented with the aim of creating a clearer separation between strategic activities entrusted to politicians, and the operational or managerial tasks generally under the remit of senior civil servants. By analysing the reforms implemented in three…
Employment in the public and private sectors: Toward a confusing hybridization process
The aim of this article is to provide a better insight into the trend towards hybridization of the public and private spheres. More specifically, its focus is to gain a better understanding of the similarities and differences between employment in the public and private sectors in the wake of recent changes. Public sector reforms within OECD countries have largely been inspired by principles and tools used in private enterprise. Most countries, a…
Réformes administratives et gestion des ressources humaines: Comparaison de la suisse et du canada
De nombreuses réformes administratives ont eu lieu durant les trente dernières années dans les pays de l’OCDE. Des stratégies différentes ont été mises en œuvre afin de “moderniser” et “d’éprouver” le fonctionnement des unités administratives. Les changements en cours ont, bien évidemment, des implications sur la gestion des ressources humaines (GRH). L’objectif de notre article est de mieux comprendre les stratégies de réforme administrative dép…
New Public Management and Organizational Regulation: The Liberal Bureaucracy
This article sets out to question the impact of new public management (npm) reforms on the functioning of public organizations. This investigation uses the concept of organizational regulation as a basis. We assume that the introduction of npm principles and tools results in the constitution of a new type of regulation that we refer to as ‘liberal bureaucracy’. We describe the main characteristics based on qualitative empirical research carried o…
Coordination et coopération au sein d'ensembles organisés: Une affaire de confiance
The concept of trust is currently enjoying a revival of popularity in the scientific, academic and management fields. The present article attempts to discern the reasons for this renewed interest, particularly within management studies and the social sciences. A critical review of the literature is conducted so as to better understand the concept itself, as well as its impact and utility for organizational analysis. This enables us to propose a m…
