Does (professional) leadership matter for staff satisfaction? Evidence from a panel study of hospital boards
Grounded in human capital theory, this study explores whether the presence of professional leaders, such as doctors on hospital governing boards, positively influences the organizational workforce. Drawing on eight years of data from the English NHS, the analysis finds no direct association between professional leadership and staff satisfaction. However, we identify a significant moderating effect attributable to two factors: the managerial exper…
Hybrid professional managers in healthcare: An expanding or thwarted occupational interest
Despite growing interest on the impact of hybrid professional manager roles in public sector organizations, less attention has focused on their population and whether they have advanced as an occupational interest. Using a longitudinal administrative dataset, we explore trends in the growth, characteristics and organizational positions of medical managers in the UK NHS. While they seem to have reinforced their position at the strategic apex of ho…
Corporatization, Administrative Intensity, and the Performance of Public Sector Organizations
The process of corporatization in public services has led to the emergence of new, more autonomous organizational forms. However, while these reforms have been centrally about the development of management capabilities in public sector organizations, we know surprisingly little about what this process involves. To address this concern, we draw on the literature on administrative intensity (AI) to frame hypotheses about the likely relationship bet…
Are Public Sector Managers a “Bureaucratic Burden”? The Case of English Public Hospitals
Although managers are, globally, a central part of the new public management reform agenda, in recent years policy makers, the media and the general public have raised concerns about their effectiveness and contribution.

In this study, focusing on the case of ac…
Clinical Leadership and the Changing Governance of Public Hospitals: Implications for Patient Experience
A growing evidence base suggests that increasing the involvement of clinical professionals on governing boards of hospitals has a positive impact on organizational performance. However, less is known about the wider conditions that influence this process and whether recent moves to restructure the governance of public hospitals, extending their formal autonomy, has made any difference to the outcome of clinical involvement on patient experience. …
