Interprofessional Collaboration in Public Organizations: The Role of Perceived Value for Self-Efficacy and Motivation
Public service delivery relies interprofessional collaboration, yet its value is unevenly perceived across professions. This study examines how frontline employees’ valuation of interprofessional collaboration influences team members' motivation and self-efficacy, and whether managerial support moderates these effects. Using panel survey data from Danish public school teams of teachers and childcare workers, we find that teachers’ valuation of in…
Client Characteristics, Performance Information, and Street-Level Bureaucrats’ Willingness to Collaborate
Prior research shows that the framing of performance data can influence the interpretation of identical performance results. This study adds to this line of research by testing how performance information and clients’ social status and behavior interact to shape street-level bureaucrats’ problem identification and willingness to collaborate in public service provision. We hypothesize that in a situation where a client has negative performance res…
Functional team diversity in frontline service delivery: Explaining teamwork attitudes among public service professionals
Team diversity is key in public service delivery. Yet, teamwork in functionally diverse teams can be undermined by mutual scepticism among different professionals. This article examines the mechanisms explaining teamwork attitudes with two experiments. We theorize that public service professionals’ negativity towards working in functionally diverse teams arises because other team members are perceived as lacking warmth and competence. Our evidenc…
Crisis Intensity, Leadership Behavior, and Employee Outcomes in Public Organizations
Societal crises such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic challenge public organizations in many ways. Yet, there is little knowledge of how varying crisis intensity can spark different reactions among public leaders and employees. This study examines the dynamics of the COVID-19 crisis in relation to leadership behaviors and employee outcomes for 920 individuals in 45 organizational units within the police, hospitals, and assisted living facilities. …
The Danish health care quality programme: Creating change through the use of quality improvement collaboratives
Distributed leadership and performance‐related employee outcomes in public sector organizations
Distributed leadership is the sharing of leadership tasks between managers and employees. This article demonstrates how a distributed leadership perspective adds to the public administration literature by including an important sensitivity to planned and nonplanned leadership. We propose a theoretical model that explains the impact of distributed leadership on employee outcomes which have a direct or indirect impact on organizational performance …
Distributed leadership in health care: The role of formal leadership styles and organizational efficacy
Management and health care literature is increasingly preoccupied with leadership as a collective social process, and related leadership concepts such as distributed leadership have therefore recently gained momentum. This paper investigates how formal, i.e. transformational, transactional and empowering, leadership styles affect employees’ perceived agency in distributed leadership, and whether these associations are mediated by employees’ perce…
How Pro‐social Motivation Affects Job Satisfaction: An International Analysis of Countries with Different Welfare State Regimes
Employees' pro‐social motivation has been shown to be positively related to job satisfaction, especially when the perceived usefulness of the job to society and other people is high. There is, however, a lack of analyses which include both public and private employees, and it has not yet been studied whether the relationships are robust across welfare state regimes. This study therefore examines the moderated relationship between pro‐social motiv…
Dynamics of Public Service Motivation: Attraction‒Selection and Socialization in the Production and Regulation of Social Services
The literature on public service motivation (PSM) has typically focused on the relationship between motivation and public/private sector of employment, while the character of the work being performed has been neglected. Using panel surveys with pre‐ and postentry measures ofPSMamong certified Danish social workers, this article provides a unique design for investigatingPSM‐based attraction‒selection and socialization effects with respect to the c…
Public Service Motivation and Employment Sector: Attraction or Socialization
Numerous studies have shown that public service motivation (PSM) is positively associated with public sector employment. However, the question of whether PSM influences or is influenced by employment decisions remains open, since previous studies have mostly relied on cross-sectional samples with experienced employees. This article investigates the relationship between PSM and employment sector in pre-entry and post-entry settings using data from…
Public Values and Public Service Motivation: Conceptual and Empirical Relationships
The literatures on public values (PV) and public service motivation (PSM) both address whether public service delivery is driven by something more than self-interest. They have developed separately, although they can benefit from insights developed by the other, and this article discusses conceptual and empirical relationships between them. Based on a survey of 501 public managers, we find that PSM and PV are associated empirically, but not in a …
