Connected Yet Distinct
Over the past seven decades, South Korea has developed a distinctive trajectory in its public administration (PA) through balancing the domains of research, education, and engagement with government. Our analysis shows that it embodies a connected yet distinct character, closely linked to Western administrative science and global PA scholarship, yet continually reshaped by Korea's bureaucratic culture, Confucian legacies, and pragmatic governance…
Hidden AI innovations in the public sector
AI innovations in public administration show promise, but they also come with significant risks. In this context, we explore factors that influence the adoption of AI-based personnel selection in public organizations. Employing mixed methods, including interviews with key stakeholders (n = 16) and primary surveys of HR professionals (n = 178) in Korean public organizations, we find that organizations tend to adopt AI innovations when they are les…

Examining the impact of control and ownership on social enterprises’ public value creation using integrative publicness theory
This study examined the impact of publicness on public value creation in social enterprises from the perspective of integrative publicness. Our findings show that internal control is positively associated with all variables of a social enterprise’s public value creation. Ownership is also partially associated with the public value creation of social enterprises, while external control does not show any significant relationship. This study provide…

While governments play an important role in developing social enterprises, so far scholars have paid little attention to the specific role of local governments in the social enterprise ecosystem. To help fill…
Examining the role of perceived risk and benefit, shared concern for nuclear stigmatization, and trust in governments in shaping citizen risk acceptability of a nuclear power plant

The data were gathered from surveys of local residents engaged in fierce debates on whether they agreed to accept a nuclear power plant in their local area, t…
Can Infused Publicness Enhance Public Value Creation? Examining the Impact of Government Funding on the Performance of Social Enterprises in South Korea
Numerous countries employ social enterprise as an alternative way of addressing social, economic, and environmental problems, with this new approach steadily gaining strength over the last two decades. Despite this growth, few empirical studies have examined the effects of government policies on social enterprise development. Seeking to fill this gap, this study examines the impact of government funding on the social and economic performance of s…
Policy Design and Achieving Social Outcomes
This article compares American, British, and Korean social enterprise policies to explore how government policy design shapes social enterprises and how “social benefit” and “public value” are defined. A social enterprise is defined as the legally structured organizational pursuit of blending social purpose and economic profit through business activities, and examples from each country are presented. Applying Bozeman ' s publicness theory, the au…
