Optimizing Pathways for Common Issues in Administrative Review of Submission Materials of Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trials
This study evaluates the quality and efficiency of administrative review for investigator-initiated trials (IITs) at a leading tertiary hospital in Shandong Province, China. We conducted a retrospective empirical comparative analysis using feedback reports issued by the Clinical Research Management Office. A total of 151 reports from 2022 were compared with 162 reports from September 2023 to August 2024, after targeted improvement measures were i…
A dynamic study of citizen satisfaction
We consider how current and past views of a service provider jointly shape satisfaction levels. In Study 1, we replicate a prior study of expectancy-disconfirmation by Van Ryzin, and in Study 2 we extend the original cross-sectional design by analysing a four-wave panel with 654 respondents in Hong Kong. Study 1 findings replicate the original study. Our Study 2 extension finds that (1) citizens’ attitudes about satisfaction are relatively stable…
Puncturing the Knowledge Illusion Does Not Reduce Policy and Political Extremism
Understanding the formation of and changes in citizens' extreme views on complex public policies is an important task in our increasingly polarized world. Behavioral sciences offer insights on cognitive processes and potential mechanisms to mitigate extremity in policy preferences and develop more realistic models that underprint political attitudes. About a decade ago, Fernbach et al. (2013) offered a simple cognitive intervention to reduce poli…
Legislative capacity, bureaucratic reputation, and delegation from a trust perspective
Challenging the assumptions of the principal‐agent theory, the recent bureaucratic politics literature contends that politicians do not necessarily have weaker capacities and bureaucrats are not necessarily bad apples. What this means for the delegation decision remains underexplored, particularly regarding how legislative capacity and bureaucratic reputation jointly affect delegation. We examine this issue with a trust perspective and a survey e…

Revisiting the academic–practitioner divide
As a design science, public administration is focused on addressing real‐world problems. However, within public administration argument and evidence on the relevance of academic research to practice agendas is equivocal. We investigate the “academic–practitioner divide” using computational social science techniques to identify the topics of “academic,” “academic–practitioner,” and practitioner corpora over a 25‐year period. Topic modeling results…
Exploring Key Factors for Contractors in Opening Prefabrication Factories
Adoption of prefabrication is essential for improving the urban built environment. However, the existing prefabrication market in China is far from mature. As the stakeholder who conducts construction activities, the contractor is facing a dilemma of lacking steady prefabricated components supply. In this circumstance, a potential solution is that contractors open their own prefabrication factories to guarantee stable component supply. The aim of…
Explaining Sustainability Innovation in City Governments
While existing studies have examined the separate effects of local governments’ internal conditions and external environment on local innovation, few have paid attention to their interactive effects. This study examines whether state-level rules regarding local discretion moderate the effects of city governments’ slack resources and learning, using local sustainability innovation as an example. We distinguish two types of discretion (fiscal and s…
A replication of “an experimental test of the expectancy‐disconfirmation theory of citizen satisfaction”
To better understand citizen satisfaction with public services, public administration research has adopted the expectancy‐disconfirmation model in recent years. This model proposes that satisfaction is a function of perceived performance and expectations. Recent quantitative and experimental studies of the expectancy‐disconfirmation model have supported the framework. However, few replications have been conducted and none outside western contexts…
A Meta‐Analysis of the Government Performance—Trust Link
The performance‐trust link constitutes an important issue, but the public administration and political science literature has been equivocal regarding how it is influenced by cultural and methodological factors. Meta‐analyzing 72 empirical studies, this article finds that the link is stronger in low power distance countries, when outputs are used to measure government performance, or when the focus is on local government. In addition, the perform…
The Expectancy‐Disconfirmation Model and Citizen Satisfaction with Public Services
The expectancy‐disconfirmation model has become the predominant approach in explaining citizen satisfaction with public services. It posits that citizens compare the performance of a service against their expectations of that service. Satisfaction occurs if the perceived performance meets or exceeds the expectations. We provide the first meta‐analysis of the empirical evidence on this relationship, and find that the model is supported across stud…
Topic Modeling the Research‐Practice Gap in Public Administration
The possible existence of a research‐practice gap is the topic of a long‐standing debate in the field of public administration. In this Viewpoint essay, the authors examine the agendas of scholars and practitioners using the topic modeling technique of computational social science. Topic modeling a content analysis of 35 topics identified in Public Administration Review and PA Times (3,796 articles) showed that just over 50 percent of topics were…
Regional Governance and Institutional Collective Action for Environmental Sustainability
This research investigates why various mechanisms of cooperation among local authorities are chosen using the theoretical lens of institutional collective action ( ICA ). The article analyzes 564 local collaboration agreements drawn from four urban regions of China to explain the choices of environmental collaboration agreements among cities. Examples of three forms of interlocal agreements—informal, formal, and imposed agreements—are analyzed. O…
How do Civic Associations Foster Political Participation? The Role of Scope and Intensity of Organizational Involvement
This paper investigates factors associated with individuals’ decisions in engaging in various modes of political participation, including voting, formal and informal political activities. Two aspects of civic association involvement are highlighted: scope and intensity. Using data from the U.S. Citizenship, Involvement, and Democracy Survey in 2006, we find that one’s memberships in civic associations only explain one’s participation in formal po…
