Citizenship and Service Delivery
At the heart of the citizenship issue is the stake citizens have in their community, its government, and its policies. In a similar vein, intergovernmentalizing service delivery adds little to providing a structure to support citizenship. "Sweat equity" in producing a service or maintaining a physical space promises to build commitment and a more cohesive view of the neighbourhood and citizens&s; role in it. Perhaps the most significant thing abo…

OMB and the Central Management Problem
From the time of its inception in 1921, in addition to its primary role as the President's budget staff, BoB/ OMB has been charged with broad responsibilities. Although historically some controversy has surrounded what properly encompasses, the traditional conception of BoB/OMB's managerial function may be formulated in the following terms: to provide leadership on the President's behalf in addressing general problems bearing on the organization …
The Federal Government in the Year 2000
Historians writing in the future are likely to regard the two terms of the Reagan administration as a watershed period in the development of the American administrative state. This period is likely to be seen as a time when some issues of governance and public administration that had been brewing for quite a while were finally brought to the surface of political debate. At the center of this debate is the issue of the desirability of government i…
Triviocracy
Triviocracy is a generalized organizational phenomenon; to the outsider or casual participant, the goals or issues which members of the organization pursue have little or no overt relationship to the well‐being of the organization; and once attained, these goals do not appear to help individuals in pursuit of their professional goals in any easily desirable way. In this paper will will explore the concept of triviocracy in some depth, describe th…

Police Management in the 1980s
If the early 1980s was not an easy time for local governments, it was an especially sobering time for their police and sheriff departments. After a decade or more of unprecedented federal aid and budgetary growth, funding growth came to a halt and in many places actually declined. In the mid-1980s, the growing gap between rising demand for service and scarce resources has forced many top police managers to rethink their role and the role of their…

The Politics of Retrenchment
Managing Organizational Retrenchament
This article presents a discussion of the preconditions necessary for managing a contraction. It examines the constraints operative in the public sector which exclude or limit the availability of the prerequisites for public managers to effectively manage retrenchment. Then it describes how a public organization without these prerequisites behaves under conditions of fiscal stress by using a multistage model of public sector contraction that incl…

Resource Scarcity and the Reform Model
The pluralist model of urban politics implicitly assumes expanding resources. In pluralist systems, resource expansion builds security and optimism about the future so that interest groups can bargain over increments without fear that their established expenditure base will be threatened. Growth in resources allows political maneuvering and bargaining to take place within the bonds of civility and provides politicians with the rewards necessary t…
The Centralizing Effects of Austerity on the Intergovernmental System
Even though the attractiveness of devolving public decision making and policy implementation to state and local governments is widely acknowledged, changes are occurring in the U.S. system of intergovernmental relations that are eroding local autonomy and centralizing authority. This is not a new observation. In recent years, observers of intergovernmental relations have noted that the discretionary portion of local government budgets has been de…
State Executive Branch Reorganization
Despite all the controversy and expense that have surrounded state executive branch reorganization for more than sixty years, most of what we know is anecdotal, fragmentary, conceptually imprecise and untested. This study is designed to contribute conceptual and empirical order to the study of reorganization by analyzing data drawn from coding most of the state reorganizations of this century. Three central questions are addressed: (I) Why do sta…
More on Cutback Management
Automated Management Information Systems Are an Illusion: There are No Such Things. This is almost true! Most management information systems are automated clerical systems or, at best, automated routine management tasks. (In DMV, for example, these included license restoration and driver training notification subroutines.) Very few, if any, organizations have a completely automated MIS. It is possible that very few need them. Perhaps the whole po…

Role-taking standpoint and adolescent usage of Kohlberg's conventional stages of moral reasoning
By taking into account a respondent's role-taking standpoint, this study proposes that moral judgments coded at Kohlberg's conventional stages can be expected to vary depending upon (a) the identity of the protagonist implicated in the moral dilemma and (b) the nature of the issues raised by the moral dilemmas used. Different groups of respondents were asked to answer three versions of Kohlberg's moral judgment questionnaire. One version implicat…

An Interorganizational Analysis of Power, Conflict, and Settlements in Public Sector Collective Bargaining
Despite increased interest in public sector collective bargaining, a survey of recent attempts to build theory about the dynamics and outcomes of union-management negotiations in public organizations reveals that little progress has been made. One approach that appears fruitful is interorganizational analysis. In an interorganizational context, organizations interact with other autonomous organizations to make joint decisions that have implicatio…

Beyond the Sound and Fury of Quotas and Targets
Much of the rhetoric and conflict surrounding affirmative action programs focuses on the introduction and utilization of numerical quotas and target figures to increase minority group representation in public organizations. Despite criticism that they are moving too slowly, published statistics and casual observation reveal that many agencies have had considerable success at employing and promoting more members of minority groups than ever before…

Comparing Public and Private Organizations
This article presents a number of propositions about differences in public and private organizations, which have implications for their management.1 The propositions extend and refine consideration of the question which was recently addressed by Michael A. Murray in this Review (36). Murray suggests that public and private organizations are converging and facing similar constraints and challenges, and that management in all types of organizations…
