Contrary to the notion that increased bureaucracy necessarily leads to inefficiency, findings reveal that an optimal level o…
Political Patronage in Asian Bureaucracies
Political patronage is defined as political actors appointing individuals at their discretion to key positions in the public sector. The book examines this practice in the bureaucracies of 11 Asian countries through the use of a typological framework of patronage types.

Also, we explore how public service motivation (PSM) moderates the relationship between leadership and UPB. The re…

To empirically assess these appointments, we introduce a novel dataset and conduct an analysis that examines the demographic c…
