Self-determination theory goes public
This study puts self-determination theory to an empirical test through a series of discrete choice experiments across three samples of public healthcare workers, for a total of 4,743 subjects. The three replications provide convergent evidence in support of the hypotheses that autonomy, competence, and three types of relatedness – with supervisors, peers, and beneficiaries – simultaneously and independently increase employee satisfaction. Meaning…
To consent, or not to consent? The publicness effect on citizens’ willingness to grant access to personal data in the face of a health crisis
This study contributes to the nascent behavioral governance scholarship by experimentally testing whether individuals' likelihood of lifting their privacy rights in the face of a health crisis varies based on the public versus private nature of the entity accessing their personal data and the length of time during which records can be used. We run an online, randomized control trial with 1,500 citizens representative of the Italian general adult …
Introduction
Revisiting Public Values
Global Reflection, Conceptual Exploration, and Evidentiary Assimilation
By April 2020, the United States had entered the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were observing the harrowing effects of the virus in China, Italy, and early hotspots in the United States. It was clear to us, as editors, that this crisis would upend traditional ways of operating in the public and nonprofit sectors. Once-clear administrative roles would be abandoned, and policies and procedures would be suspended, altered, or ignored to r…

This study assesses the impact of EU standards on Turkish civil society with a special focus on EU Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA) funded associations in Batman Province. To this end, we analyze responses to the Civil…

Personality and decision-making in public administration
Using a cross-sectional survey of 254 Turkish district governors, this study assesses the impact of personality on decision-making among public managers. The research evaluates self-reported results from the Five-Factor Model of personality and the Decision-Making Questionnaire of the psychology literature. The findings suggest that Openness, Conscientiousness, and Extraversion are important in the analysis of decision-making subjects, tasks, and…

Reforming Public Management
A factor that has proved important in acceptance of organizational change is the level of organizational and managerial trust. More than 10 years since its passage, civil service reform in Georgia continues to stimulate debate regarding employment at will (EAW) relationships in the public sector. Beginning July 1996, new hires in the Georgia state workforce were designated unclassified, thus serving at the will of public managers. Indeed, the acc…

Privatization and Citizen Preferences
Privatization has been championed as a means for improving accountability in the public sector. Yet, relatively little is known empirically about how citizens from different countries evaluate private versus public provision of services. Using a framework established by Durant and Legge (2001, 2002), the research here furthers their country-specific findings by employing an initial empirical model to examine the formation of citizen preferences i…
State Government Human Resource Professionals’ Commitment to Employment at Will
This article examines the attitudes of a key set of state government officials—state human resource (HR) professionals—toward employment at will (EAW) in state government. It presents original survey data obtained from HR professionals in four southern states: Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. Drawing on these data, the article creates an index measuring respondents’ commitment to EAW, as measured by their attitudes toward arguments used …

Determinants of Local Government Workforce Planning
This article evaluates the utilization of workforce planning by municipalities across the United States with data derived from a survey of local government human resource professionals. The research demonstrates that certain aspects of workforce planning such as assessments of employee retirement, long-term recruitment and retention, and training and development have been integrated into the human resource functions of several municipalities. The…
Toll Roads, Politics, and Public—Public Partnerships
Governments have increasingly relied on market mechanisms to improve the efficiency of public services. This is especially true when it comes to financing the nation's transportation infrastructure system, where enabling legislation at the federal and state level has gradually placed greater reliance on the private sector through collaborative endeavors such as public—private partnerships (P3s). This article examines the process and structure of …

Politics, public opinion and privatization
This article supports a growing body of comparative public policy literature on assessing citizen attitudes to privatization efforts around the world. Given the normative and political overtones associated with the privatization of state-owned enterprises, relatively little is known empirically about how citizens of different nationalities evaluate market reforms. Using the 1996 International Social Survey Programme, the method of analysis utiliz…

Human Capital
Self‐Interest, Ideological/Symbolic Politics, and Citizen Characteristics
In this essay, the authors explore attitudes toward government privatization of electric utilities across two sets of nations: developed market economies (DMEs) and transition economies (TEs). They utilize generalized hierarchical linear model to analyze individual attitudes nested within these two groups of polities and discover a wide gap between the DME and TE nations in terms of preferences for privatization, with attitudes in DME nations bei…
