Operationalizing the definition of e-leadership
The effects of the ongoing digital revolution have been profound and have been studied in many contexts such as government interaction with the public (e-participation) and administrative structures (e-administration). However, the study of how the digital revolution has changed leaders’ interactions with followers via information and communication technologies (ICTs) has been modest, and the theory building in organizational studies and public a…
Defining E‐leadership as Competence in ICT‐Mediated Communications
While many aspects of the dramatic shifts caused by digital government have made enormous progress, the leadership of those who serve the public via electronic means has yet to take a significant step forward. This article addresses three questions: How significant has e‐leadership become? What are the challenges in trying to create a more comprehensive model of defining and measuring e‐leadership? And, based on current knowledge, what skill and …
Studying Corruption
There is a growing recognition among scholars that those engaged in qualitative research often face a number of serious methodological and personal challenges. Rather surprisingly, these difficulties receive relatively limited attention within the academic literature. Given the rising role of qualitative methodologies within social science research, the benefits of and the need for honest and practical discussions regarding what researchers shoul…
Reflections on Designing a MPA Service-Learning Component
This article provides the “lessons learned” from the experience of redesigning two sections (face-to-face and online) of a core master of public administration class as a service-learning course. The suggestions made here can be traced to the entire process of the project, from the “seed idea” through its conceptualization and implementation. The discussion relies heavily on quantitative and qualitative data collected during and at the completion…
The Determinants of Public Administrators’ Participation in Policy Formulation
There are few who would question that within their everyday discretionary choices and decision making, public servants can develop into consequential and dynamic actors in the policy process. Participation in policy formulation is a particularly meaningful stage within which administrators can make a noticeable impact in shaping public policy. Whether they do so or not often comes down to an individual choice. Yet, while there is a great deal of …
Building Social Cohesion
While material gain continues to be a leading motivator for corrupt acts, this study shows that social status and kinship responsibilities should also be considered possible precursors to corruption. This finding has important implications for constructing an appropriate understanding of corruption, designing anticorruption policies, and achieving ethical governance in developing democracies
Counterbalancing Perspectives on the Current Administrative Telos of American Bureaucracies
Although routinely criticized for its many flaws, bureaucracy, as a form of organizing, remains perceived as being more efficient than any other currently known forms of administration. In fact, efficiency is often considered as the primary purpose of bureaucratic organization. This article examines the current administrative telos of American bureaucracies. It makes the twofold argument that bureaucracy’s dominant purpose, as a form of organizin…
Framing the Questions of E-Government Ethics
Scholars have suggested that the delineation of a field’s “big” questions is critical for its cohesive and practical intellectual growth. Instilling a habitual practice of focusing inquiries on fundamental questions is particularly warranted for fledgling areas of research. Currently, while there is already a rich body of literature that addresses administrative, computer, information, and cyber ethics, only a limited number of writings discuss e…
The Myths Within Anticorruption Policies
Public corruption is and will continue to be a notable issue of governance. Outcomes of past reform initiatives suggest that corruption is unresponsive to simplistic anticorruption constructs. The assumptions that corruption is motivated only by financial considerations and that developing countries are corrupt primarily because they are poor are myths. The author examines the policy dynamics of the process of defining corruption in the Internati…
