Opening the Black Box of Red Tape Research
Wrestling with Intellectual Diversity in Public Administration: Avoiding Disconnectedness and Fragmentation while Seeking Rigor, Depth, and Relevance
Public Administration (PA) is a field characterized by great diversity in theoretical approaches and methodological tactics. This wide scope lends itself to potential epistemological and methodological fragmentation, which prevents scholars from adequately appreciating and building on each other's work. Although many scholars value PA's theoretical and methodological diversity, this intellectual diversity brings some important trade-offs that mus…
Green Tape: A Theory of Effective Organizational Rules
Public management scholars over the past decade have shed significant light on ineffective rules or “red tape.” This article takes a different approach by conceptualizing a theory of green tape or effective rules. The theory argues that the probability of rule effectiveness depends on the combined presence of (1) written requirements, (2) with valid means-ends relationships, which (3) employ optimal control, (4) are consistently applied, and that…
Red Tape and Public Employees: Does Perceived Rule Dysfunction Alienate Managers
This study explores the relationship between organizational red tape and work alienation. While bureaucratic controls have long been considered sources of worker detachment, the relationship between red tape and managerial alienation has not been explicitly tested. When managers encounter rules, regulations, or procedures that seem pointless yet burdensome, these encounters may simultaneously trigger the key psychological ingredients of alienatio…
Regulatory Compliance and Air Quality Permitting: Why Do Firms Overcomply
Industry overcompliance with pollution standards has puzzled economists, leading to a variety of hypotheses about the objectives companies expect to achieve by doing so. This article examines the possibility of overcompliance with a different type of environmental regulation: the paperwork requirements for completing a federal Title V air operating permit application. We suggest that unique political circumstances set the stage for companies to o…
Red Tape and Clean Air: Title V Air Pollution Permitting Implementation as a Test Bed for Theory Development
The greatest test of a theory's utility is the degree to which it translates to subject areas for which it was not designed. This article conducts such a test, by applying an etiological theory of red tape to Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. Title V significantly expands the paperwork requirements for certain industrial sources of air pollution in an attempt to—among many other things—facilitate enforcement of air quality regulations…
