How does ethics reform in government affect moral reasoning and perceived discretion in patronage-prone organizations
From synthetic faces to synthetic selves: AI-mediated identity proximity in AI-generated human images
The effect of perceived organizational reputation on job satisfaction in US federal agencies: Exploring the mediating role of perceived organizational identity
Although organizational reputation research is growing, scholarly attention has exclusively focused on external dynamics. We focus on reputation’s internal consequences, examining how it is captured by public employees and translated into individual-level outcomes. Drawing on insights from the social identity approach, we investigate the perceived organizational reputation–job satisfaction relationship among US federal employees, focusing on perc…
Does whistleblowing always compromise bureaucratic reputation? Exploring the role of accountability institutions through bureaucratic reputation theory
Organizational reputation is subject to losses when whistleblowing occurs. Based on ethics management and bureaucratic reputation theories, we examined whether the loss could vary depending on whistleblowing channels, such as official channels of accountability institutions (U.S. Office of Special Counsel and Office of Inspector General), and unofficial channels (media) and the existence of whistleblowing management from official channels. From s…

The human dimension of smart cities: Examining antecedents of citizens’ smart city policy literacy
This study directs its focus toward the human aspect of smart cities, a domain that has received comparatively scant attention in the existing body of literature. Using policy literacy theory, encompassing the citizens’ perceptions regarding policies through the lens of their understanding, we delve into four predictors of smart city policy literacy, (1) demographics, (2) socioeconomic status, (3) geographic factors and (4) attitudes toward gover…
Empowering the frontline: Internal and external organizational antecedents of teacher empowerment
Although frontline empowerment is central to managerial reform, few scholars have explored the conditions which effectively promote empowerment. We argue that empowerment is linked to inherent organizational features. To investigate this, we consider six sub-dimensions of empowerment: a) decision-making, b) professional growth, c) supportive culture, d) self-efficacy, e) work autonomy, and f) use of performance information. Findings from a panel …
A Psychological Process of Bureaucratic Whistleblowing: Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior
Whistleblowing is a psychological process that involves the calculation of risks and benefits. While there exists a broad range of research on whistleblowing in the public sector, previous studies have not examined its entire process due to the limited focus on either whistleblowing intention or whistleblowing behavior. This study aims to fill this gap by applying the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to the whistleblowing context. Specifically, w…
