Determinants of Public Sector Innovation: A Comparative Study of Spanish Local Governments
This article examines the effective adoption of innovation at the local level of government. Despite technological advancements and societal challenges having amplified the transformative role of local governments, the conditions for successfully developing innovation remain unclear. Applying the comparative perspective based on the Most Different Systems Design (MDSD) logic, and mixed methods, this study identifies three distinct innovation stra…
Two decades of public sector innovation: Building an analytical framework from a systematic literature review of types, strategies, conditions, and results
Scholarly attention in innovation in the public sector is growing rapidly, provoking analytical complexity. We developed a systematic literature review about Public Sector Innovation (PSI), analysing 169 articles published between 2001 and 2021, using PRISMA. We present a comprehensive approach to PSI testing and empirically develop an analytical framework based on the most common combinations of the studied dimensions. Additionally, we propose t…
Analysing public sector innovation in local governments. an empirical assessment of Spanish city councils
Evidence from both surveys and interviews exist to study the fundamental dimensions of public sector innovation (PSI). In this article, these dimensions are tailored to acknowledge the distinctive features of the public sector and to measure PSI in local governments. These dimensions encompass the level of novelty, complexity, breadth, and value of PSI. They are systematically gauged through a survey administered to PSI managers within Spanish lo…
Identification of research trends in emerging technologies implementation on public services using text mining analysis
Purpose This study aims to conduct performance and clustering analyses with the help of Digital Government Reference Library (DGRL) v16.6 database examining the role of emerging technologies (ETs) in public services delivery. Design/methodology/approach VOSviewer and SciMAT techniques were used for clustering and mapping the use of ETs in the public services delivery. Collecting documents from the DGRL v16.6 database, the paper uses text mining a…
The financial sustainability of public services as an instrument to combat depopulation in small and medium-sized municipalities
Identifying patterns in smart initiatives' planning in smart cities. An empirical analysis in Spanish smart cities
The smart city (SCs) movement has emerged to face urban challenges. Nonetheless, the complexity and dynamic nature of cities makes them context-dependent in their strategic planning processes concerning smart initiatives, which can lead to different solutions and outcomes of cities' development. With the growing number of smart initiatives implemented in SCs, it becomes important both to consider how such initiatives are planned and organised, an…
Hacia la madurez de los portales de datos públicos abiertos en el sector público. Un análisis comparado del nivel local de gobierno en España
Open public data portals have become one of the main technologies of public administrations for the exercise of transparency, accountability, citizen participation and co-production of public services. Few empirical studies have analyzed on a large scale the use of these platforms considering their multidimensional nature. This research offers an empirical analysis of how these technological artifacts are being used at the Spanish local level. An…
Factors in the adoption of open government initiatives in Spanish local governments
The Open Government Data (OGD) projects have spread rapidly in recent years, given that they involve a great transformative potential, whose aims to guarantee transparent government and stimulate the participation and citizenry engagement. It seems that there is a lack of studies analysing factors regarding both the access to OG projects and the volume and format of data published into OGD projects. Therefore, this paper seeks to identify main fa…
Political determinants in the strategic planning formulation of smart initiatives
Governments increasingly promote the adoption of smart initiatives based on the intensive use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to face urban challenges and improve the quality of life of citizens. Multiple styles of smart initiatives have been developed, depending on the government leadership, the level of participation, collaboration, and involvement of stakeholders and institutions in public decision-taking processes. In thi…
Strategic alignment of open government initiatives in Andalusia
The emergence of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has put emphasis on the open government approach (OG), provoking a cultural change in both the citizenry (demanding new ways of collaborating with public administration and more openness in government), and in the public administrations (adapting their structures and processes to support civic participation). This article analyzes both the strategies followed by local governments …
Transparency in Governments: A Meta-Analytic Review of Incentives for Digital Versus Hard-Copy Public Financial Disclosures
Prior research has indicated that information transparency in governments depends on institutional and environmental factors. Nonetheless, previous studies show heterogeneity in the results, and the academic researchers cannot make consistent conclusions. It makes it difficult to know the behavior of governments regarding their information policies. Therefore, making use of meta-analysis techniques, we integrate the empirical results reported by …
Analysing the scientific evolution of e-Government using a science mapping approach
Análisis bibliométrico sobre la implementación de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en las administraciones públicas: Aportaciones y oportunidades de investigación
En la actualidad el e-Gobierno es considerado uno de los principales temas incluidos en las agendas gubernamentales, parte central de la transformación de las administraciones públicas, e innovación en la gestión y rendición de cuentas. Aunque muchas han sido las investigaciones llevadas a cabo sobre esta temática desde diferentes perspectivas, no existe aún una clara justificación percibida por los expertos de su necesidad en procesos de reforma…
Risk Factors and Drivers of Financial Sustainability in Local Government: An Empirical Study
The current international crisis in public finances has made financial sustainability a key issue for governments. Although the European Union (EU) and other international organisations have recommended governments to monitor demographic and economic variables, few studies have considered the influence of these variables on financial sustainability. This paper seeks to identify and analyse the drivers and risk factors that influence the financial…
