  • Participative budgeting, job satisfaction, and presenteeism

    Open AccessBerend van der Kolk, Martijn Schoute et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    We contribute to the literature by providing evidence that organizations can improve job-related wellbeing and diminish health-related productivity loss by giving middle managers a greater say in processes related to budget allocation. That is, participative budgeting enhances middle managers' perceived procedural justice and organizational identification, which subsequently positively impact job satisfaction and reduce presenteeism

  • Drivers of service delivery modes in Dutch local government

    Open AccessMartijn Schoute, R H J M Gradus et al.ARTICLEInternational Review of…2020Cited by: 10References: 8

    This study investigates the influence of service, financial and political characteristics on municipalities’ choices of four service delivery modes in the Dutch local government setting, thereby making a distinction between services in the physical and in the operational domain. It shows that, overall, use of inter-municipal cooperation and, to a lesser extent, municipality-owned firms increased substantially from 2010 to 2018. For use of private…

The estimation results in 2002 show that private collection is cheaper but high concentration increases costs of private collection and therefore (partly) offsets the advantage of contracting out. In 2006, the savings gained from privatisation and also the effect of concentration …

  • Is there still collusion in the Dutch waste collection market

    Open AccessR H J M Gradus, Elbert Dijkgraaf et al.ARTICLELocal Government Studies2016Cited by: 7References: 9

    Concentration indexes based on regional markets show that the Dutch market for refuse collection is highly concentrated in 2002 and 2010. Similar to earlier work in 2007, the results indicate some evidence that high concentration increases costs and therefore (partly) offsets the advantage of contracting out. In 2002, results with respect to concentration are somewhat less robust. In 2010, the cost-advantage effect of private provision becomes sm…
