Local Governments, Tribal Governments, and Service Delivery: A Unique Approach to Negotiated Problem Solving
There is a long history of conflict between states and Indian tribes. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in reducing this conflict in some areas, but service delivery remains an issue of growing tension. Since the 1990s the federal government has reduced funding for some Indian programs; funding has increased in a few programs but has not kept up with increases in demand. As a result, tribes are forced to rely ever more on state…
From Organizational Values to Organizational Roles: Examining Representative Bureaucracy in State Administration
Over the past four decades, nonwhites and women have made slow but important progress toward expanding their numbers in the higher reaches of state administration, although they are not yet proportionately represented in top-level policy-making positions in the American states. A question that prior research has not addressed is whether such passive representation-numerical employment in state bureaucracy-is linked to more active representation-e…
Reinventing Government in the American States: Measuring and Explaining Administrative Reform
Reform waves flowing across the American political landscape are not new. In the states they have paralleled and sometimes preceded national reforms that began early in this century and extended into recent decades (Garnett, 1980; Conant, 1988, 1992). Shortly after the federal Taft Commission proposed management reforms in 1912, states set pattern of examining their structures for possible reorganization. Garnett (1980) identified state reorganiz…

Controlling Administrative Agencies in a Changing Federal System: Avenues of Gubernatorial Influence
Gubernatorial control over state agencies has become a topic of great concern as state governments have undergone reorganization and as financial and programmatic responsibilities have shifted from Washington to the states. Avenues and instruments of gubernatorial influence are identified from survey responses of state agency directors. The importance of each of these is then assessed using statistical analysis, with reported gubernatorial influe…
State Agencies and Their Environments: Examining the Influence of Important External Actors
Research on the federal bureaucracy has long recognized the importance of organization environment for differentiating among agencies and affecting their political support as well as policy outputs. Although the environment has been considered an element in the behavior of state agencies as well, research at this level has been less sensitive to important differences across agency environments. This article identifies four major actors in the pol…
Preferential Treatment for Small Businesses in Federal Contract Awards
Increasing Productivity of Government's Reliance Upon Outside Organizations to Provide Analysis and Management Services
The federal government spends vast sums of money for management and analysis services. The authors contend that the selection process to determine the winners of the awards of contracts to perform these services too often disregards cost competitiveness as a factor in the award. The relative importance of technical proficiency and cost are examined and a model is proposed whereby a high level of technical expertise can be obtained at a more reaso…

Character and Structure of Legislative Norms: Operationalizing the Norm Concept in the Legislative Setting
This article seeks to examine the character and structure of organizational norms in a state legislature. If consensus among legislators regarding right conduct is an appropriate criterion for defining norms, studies using open-ended questions for the identification of norms represent only a first step in the systematic treatment of norms in the legislative setting. Using fixed-choice questions administered to Iowa legislators, the criterion of c…
The City Manager's Knowledge of Grants-in-Aid: Some Personal and Environmental Influences
Evidence from public officials at all levels of government indicates that the profusion and excessive categorization of grants has had adverse consequences. State and local officials complain of an "in formation gap "-confusion and uncertainty as to what grants are available, who administers them, what the varying requirements are, how closely related grants differ, how to go about making proper application [Advisory Commission on Intergovernment…
