Red Tape and Public Service Motivation: Findings from a National Survey of Managers in State Health and Human Services Agencies
This article examines the relationship between red tape and public-service motivation. Using a recent national survey of public managers in various state health and human service organizations, the authors examine whether perceptions of red tape are determined by differences in the level of public-service motivation. Across a variety of dependent measures, the results showed a consistent linkage between managerial perceptions of red tape and publ…
Red Tape: A Review and Assessment of Concepts and Measures
Although there has been a resurgence of interest in red-tape research, much of this research has the limited focus of testing for public-private distinctions and has used a wide range of concepts and measures. In some ways, progress on substantive issues surrounding how to contend with red tape is stymied by the multiplicity of theoretical specifications and operational measures for red tape. Relatedly, the concept of red tape continues to be con…
Examining red tape in public and private organizations: A further look at the role of individual perceptions and attributes
The growing number of studies on red tape over the last several years has led to notable progress in our understanding of red tape. For example, sectoral comparisons have both challenged and reinforced traditional beliefs about the prima facie existence of higher levels of red tape in the public sector. In addition, the research has led to improvements in how we conceptualize red tape and distinguish it from closely related constructs such as for…
The influence of red tape on bureaucratic behavior: An experimental simulation
Understanding how certain organizational and individual attributes shape responses to red tape is an area that has received little research attention. This study uses an experimental simulation to address these questions. It examines the effect of red tape upon the propensity to provide assistance to clients in a simulated public assistance agency. The findings showed that increasing levels of red tape produce in a corresponding reduction in bene…

Comparing Public and Private Organizations: An Exploratory Analysis of Three Frameworks
Over the past several years, a growing body of research has compared public and private organizations, using a variety of approaches to examine which organizational attributes are shared across sectors and which are primarily sector specific. Although the evidence has yet to resolve the debate over differences between public and private organizations, three underlying conceptual frame works have emerged: the generic approach, the core approach, a…
Assessing Determinants of Bureaucratic Discretion: An Experiment in Street-Level Decision Making
This article reports findings from an experimental analogue that examined the influence of several potential determinants of bureaucratic discretion in street-level bureaucracies. The findings showed that two factors, the level of organizational control and client characteristics, played an influential role in the awarding of benefits and services to clients seeking public assistance. A third factor, professional field, was also a determinant of …
Bureaucratic Red Tape and Formalization: Untangling Conceptual Knots
Advancements in our knowledge of red tape have been handicapped by a serious neglect in the development of red tape as an organizational concept. Progress has also been hindered by the rather haphazard application of this concept in much of the empirical research. In this paper we examine some of the principal factors that have impeded conceptual development, paying particular attention to the relationship between red tape and bureaucratic formal…
Culture and Education in Victorian England
The critics in Culture and Education in Victorian England share Matthew Arnold's belief that culture and education are powerful instruments for transmitting values, but they do not always see that power as benign. They show how art, literature, the British Museum, and formal education could all be used to inculcate the values of the ruling classes
Red Tape and Task Delays in Public and Private Organizations
Using a measure of red tape based on the amount of time required for the performance of core organizational tasks, hypotheses are tested as to why some organizations have more red tape than others. Among the explanations considered are organizational size, sector, "publicness" defined in terms of governmental interaction and influence independent of sector, and external constraint defined in terms of interorganizational agreements and percentage …
Laboratory Experiments in Public Policy and Management
This article reviews and evaluates the potential of laboratory experiments in public policy and management (PPM) research. We first consider reasons why laboratory experiments tend to be neglected in PPM research. These include the willingness of researchers to trade away rigor and internal validity to achieve local generalizability, the naturalistic preference for field and/or quasi-experiments, and the tendency to focus upon groups, organizatio…

Victorian religious periodicals: Fragments that remain
‘Victorian Britain was not only the first urbanising society,’ Michael Wolff has recently reminded us, ‘. . . it was the first “journalising” society,’ also. Recent research, resulting from professor Wolff’s victorian periodicals project, shows that there were upwards of eighteen thousand periodicals of differing title, published during the victorian period. Of course, these periodicals varied greatly both in duration and in influence, but the av…
The business of belief: The emergence of ‘religious’ publishing
In 1863, when a London printer, called Collingridge, produced a handbook for the aspiring author, he made it clear that one particular class of aspiring author was of dominant commercial importance: We may venture to assert that no other profession produces so many works as the clergy. This is no more than might be expected from a body of gentlemen having the advantages of sound learning and well-regulated minds . . . there are thousands of clerg…
A. H. Clough: A case study in Victorian doubt
In 1868, F. W. Farrar addressed the Church Congress in Dublin on the reasons why young men were increasingly alienated from the church: ‘the alienation of the most highly educated’, he declared, ‘is as much an intellectual as the alienation of the uneducated is a moral and social phenomenon’. The emphasis we have inherited on the intellectual difficulties in religious belief felt by Victorian doubters of the upper-middle classes has obscured the …
