Acceptable or Not? Understanding Attitudes Toward Citizens' Discrimination Against Frontline Workers
Research shows that frontline workers often discriminate based on race or ethnicity. However, citizens can also display discriminatory behavior—for instance, by requesting service only from workers of the same ethnic or religious background. This discrimination exercised by citizens toward frontline employees remains underexplored. Building on research on citizen–state interactions, discrimination, and political ideology, this study examines when…
Do Justifications Affect Tolerance for Administrative Burdens? Evidence From a Survey Experiment Among Policymakers
It is important to study what drives policymakers' tolerance for burdens because they adopt the policies and processes that organise citizens' encounters with the state. Relying on theories on account giving and rationale transparency, we argue that policymakers are more burden tolerant when provided with a justification for the existence of burdens. Drawing on the ordeal mechanism literature, we derive three justifications for administrative bur…
Taxing Language: Do Interpreting Fees Affect Immigrant Healthcare Usage? Evidence From a Regression Discontinuity Design
Research has shown that administrative burdens significantly influence benefit uptake across various welfare programs in the U.S. and beyond. However, much of the existing research has focused primarily on program take‐up, leaving a gap in our understanding of how burdens affect the ongoing use of welfare benefits. To address this gap, we utilize a regression discontinuity design to analyze how the introduction of substantial fees on interpreting…
Burden tolerance: Developing a validated measurement instrument across seven countries
The emergence of the administrative burden literature has generated new theoretical, conceptual, and empirical knowledge. However, the accumulation of comparable knowledge is limited by the lack of validated measurement of core concepts. This article validates a four‐item scale of burden tolerance , that is, people's acceptance of state actions that impose administrative burdens on citizens and residents interacting with government, using data fr…
Frontline employees' responses to citizens' communication of administrative burdens
The literature on administrative burdens demonstrates that citizens may experience different kinds of administrative burdens when interacting with the state. However, we know little about whether citizens' communication of these experiences affects how frontline employees implement compliance demands. Building on the street‐level bureaucracy and administrative burden literature, we hypothesize that citizens' communication of direct and indirect p…
Deservingness at the frontline: How health‐related responsibility cues affect sanctioning and prioritization of citizens
Deservingness literature has shown that people, including frontline workers, spontaneously judge whether welfare recipients are responsible for their own situation or are victims of circumstances beyond their own control, and that these judgments shape behaviors and opinions. We contribute to this literature by examining the impact of clients' responsibility for their own sickness on how the clients are treated by frontline workers. Using a pre‐r…
How difficult should it be? Evidence of burden tolerance from a nationally representative sample
There is growing attention to how policymakers and bureaucrats think about administrative burdens, but we know less about public tolerance for burdens. We examine public burden tolerance in two major programmes (Medicaid and SNAP) using a representative sample of US residents. We show broad support for work requirements and weaker support for generally making it difficult to access benefits. People with conservative beliefs, greater opposition to…
Administrative Burden in Citizen–State Interactions: A Systematic Literature Review
Based on a systematic review of 119 articles and working papers, we provide an overview of how administrative burdens in citizen–state interactions have been studied since the inception of the research agenda in 2012. We develop a new and comprehensive model of how key concepts in the framework are related, assess the evidence of the causal relationships proposed by the model, and discuss where more evidence is needed. Empirical research supports…
