Sustainability reporting by Dutch hospitals
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to give insight into the extent to which Dutch hospitals report on sustainability, what the purposes of reporting are and whether these align with reporting practices. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-methods approach was used. Annual reports of all 69 Dutch hospital organizations were analyzed on ESG reporting. Survey research was conducted to discover which ESG themes were considered relevant by hospitals…
Reversal of Local Party System Nationalization
Nationalization of local party systems takes place in several countries. However, in the Netherlands, this process shows signs of reversal. Using data from seven municipal elections between 1998 and 2022, we observe that the local party system nationalization index decreases considerably over time, meaning more independent local parties in the local council. In addition to size, we find that rurality and center-periphery differences are important…
The relationship between management control systems and strategy
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the relationship between management control (MC) systems (MCS) and strategy processes within the context of the Dutch central government. By examining types of organisational learning, it seeks to explain the role of MC practices in the implementation and/or development of policy strategies by the Dutch ministries. Design/methodology/approach A multiple case study was conducted to gain in-depth understanding…
The impact of independent local parties on spending
To what extent do independent local political parties make different decisions on municipal spending categories compared to their locally operating national counterparts? In this paper, we empirically analyze whether independent local parties affect public finances in Dutch municipalities. Using a matching strategy, we compare municipalities that are similar in their observable characteristics except for the presence of an independent local party…
Policy Control as a Strategy for Controlling Inherent Vices of Policy-Making
Policy makers face inherent vices in the policy-making process that can affect the outcomes of the policy process. While it is widely recognized in the literature that these vices lead to policy volatility, to date, virtually no attention has been paid to how these vices can be controlled. In the Netherlands, policy control was introduced as a mechanism to increase the likelihood of implementing effective policy by involving policy controllers at…
Political and financial factors motivating privatisation, its reverse and corporatisation of municipal waste collection
This paper analyses different modes of provision for household waste collectionand changes in that by Dutch municipalities in the period between 1998 and2018. Based on a transition matrix, the shifts in the mode of waste collection aremade transparent. In more than half of the municipalities, shifts took place, 56%towards outside production and 44% towards inside production and in laterperiods, inside production has become important. Furthermore,…
Passing on the hot potato. Dutch municipalities under financial pressure have incentives to shift the costs of social care for older people to the central government
In view of the impending ageing of the population, countries have been searching for ways to restructure their social care system. Reforms often involve a decentralisation of authority from central to local government. Although such a decentralisation presents the opportunity to be receptive to social demand, it could provide the incentive for local governments that bear the burden of the costs to (partly) transfer their costs back to the central…
Dutch municipal elections 1998-2018
Using data for Dutch municipal elections between 1998 and 2018, this paper finds two dominant trends: more political fragmentation and increasing electoral success of independent local parties. The relative size of local parties in the council rises from 25% in 1998 to 37% in 2018 and the relative share of their aldermen from 21% to 32%. When understanding the increasing share of local parties, the number of inhabitants, regional diversity, the s…
The influence of parliamentarians on the development of financial management regulations for executive agencies
Purpose The involvement of politicians in the introduction and use of financial management techniques in the public sector deserves more attention. This paper analyses the influence of members of Parliament (MPs) on the development of financial management regulations for Dutch central government executive agencies. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses desk research and analyses formal evaluation reports, as well as minutes of meetings of P…

Drivers of service delivery modes in Dutch local government
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…
Political and Institutional Explanations for Increasing Re-municipalization
This article analyzes shifts in the delivery mode of waste collection in Dutch municipalities between 1999 and 2014. In approximately half of these entities, shifts took place, with 60% toward outside production and 40% toward inside production. In recent years, the number of shifts dropped remarkably, and re-municipalization has become more important. In addition, the amount of municipalities with reverse privatization is larger than that of pri…
Assessing electronic service delivery in municipalities
In the Netherlands, electronic service delivery has become an important issue in many municipalities. Using the Internet for service delivery is seen as an important element of e-government. Based on 2014–2016 panel data for all Dutch municipalities, we show that there is a large variety among the municipalities in the extent to which they offer their service delivery digitally. By exploring the factors that may explain the differences among the …
