Misunderstanding and misplaced confidence in a Japanese survey experiment
An online panel survey experiment tested whether ‘content explanation’ improved the understanding of government financial reporting, and explored its relationship to participation. This is situated within a literature examining transparency, understanding, and engagement. A representative Japanese sample of 1400 was divided into control and treatment groups of 700. Each was provided with fictional financial reports of a local government, either w…
Does process matter more for predicting trust in government? Participation, performance, and process, in local government in Japan
Trust in government and its antecedents and development remain leading policy and research concerns. Drawing on a broadly representative online survey of 3100 respondents in Japan, we examine measures of trust in three local government actors. We find political participation is not associated with trust in local government, contrary to our expectations. Civic participation is associated with trust in the mayor, but not councillors or administrato…
Understanding the impact of mandatory accrual accounting on management practices
Accompanying the spread of “new public management” since the 1980s, accrual accounting and results-based management has become a global standard. However, whether accrual accounting results in successful outcomes and which drivers lead to the intended impacts of the reform have been contested. Given the mixed arguments in the literature, we set out two research questions: (1) “Have public sector organizations realized any positive impacts on mana…
Trust in Local Government
Trust in government is expected to promote effective implementation of public services. However, people in different cultures and on different levels do not always recognize the same concept of trust. Using a survey for Japanese and Norwegian citizens, the primary factors determining trust on the local level are examined. The analysis shows that the satisfaction with public service performance is highly influential in both countries, which is par…
Citizen perceptions of public management
An older body of research claims variously: a world‐wide transformation from new public management (NPM) to new public governance or post new public management (post‐NPM); a ‘layering’, where new management rhetoric and techniques are layered upon existing ones; or a ‘hybridisation’ synthesised from competing systems. More recent studies, particularly in central and Eastern Europe, suggest a nuanced and context‐specific degree of transformation. …
Has Agencification Succeeded in Public Sector Reform? Realities and Rhetoric in the Case of Japan
The separation of implementation from policy has been diffused as ‘agencification’ around the world. It is considered an organisational reform based on new public management (NPM). The semi-autonomous public organisations executing policy are set up and are given a greater flexibility in operations in exchange for strengthening accountability for results. The central government of Japan also adopted the organisational reform in which agencies wer…

Does process matter more for predicting trust in government? Participation, performance, and process, in local government in Japan
