Post-Covid-19 Student and Faculty Perceptions of Online Computing Labs
In many disciplines, the growth of online courses was propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, but this trend moderated as health concerns receded. Before the pandemic, computer science-related disciplines were less keen on online labs because of their inherently hands-on nature. This study presents a comparative analysis of student and faculty perceptions towards online labs in three computing-related disciplines a year after the pandemic. Through a …
Talent management in public science funding organizations
Drawing on a study of three public science funding organizations in Ireland, Finland and New Zealand, we investigate the implementation of talent management (TM) through the lens of institutional complexity and paradox theory. Multiple institutional logics and institutional complexity create tensions, which TM actors must respond to and manage. We identify an important interplay of four institutional logics with the dominance of the professional …
Another Civil War in America? Comparing the Social Psychology of the United States of the 1850s to Today
Scholars warn that another American civil war is increasingly plausible, if still unlikely; professional political commentators express greater concerns. This study examines the likelihood of another U.S. civil war by comparing perspectives of the 1850s with those of today by using a negative social capital framework as the analytic lens. The analysis finds striking similarities between the two periods. Yet, civil war is a relatively rare phenome…
Leadership in Public and Nonprofit Organizations
Leadership in Public and Nonprofit Organizations, Fourth Edition provides a compact but complete analysis of leadership for students and practitioners who work in public and nonprofit organizations. Offering a comprehensive review of leadership theories in the field, from the classic to the cutting-edge, and how they relate specifically to the public sector and nonprofit contexts, this textbook covers the major competency clusters in detail, supp…
Social inclusion, social exclusion, and the role of leaders in avoiding—or promoting—societal collapse
Not since the late 1850s has the United States seen the portents leading to a major political crisis be so numerous and grave. Over the last two decades, local and national social capital has steeply declined, culminating in a near‐collapse of social capital within the last 6 years. The potential for a national political crisis is now more plausible, making a dramatic crisis (e.g., bloodless revolt, a civil war, or secession) conceivable within a…
How National Culture Influences the Speed of Covid-19 Spread
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected 222 countries and territories around the globe. Notably, the speed of COVID-19 spread varies significantly across countries. This cross-cultural research proposes and empirically examines how national culture influences the speed of COVID-19 spread in three studies. Study 1 examines the effects of Hofstede’s national cultural dimensions on the speed of COVID-19 spread in 60 countries. Drawing on the GLOBE study …
The effects of national cultures on two technologically advanced countries
The increased use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has triggered enormous innovation in the public sector and created positive public value at the managerial, delivery of services, and policy levels. However, these positive outcomes do not automatically accrue simply by adoption of ICTs as public leaders can fail to adopt relevant new ICTs, use them poorly, or use them in ways that actually diminish public value, which raises …
Operationalizing the definition of e-leadership
The effects of the ongoing digital revolution have been profound and have been studied in many contexts such as government interaction with the public (e-participation) and administrative structures (e-administration). However, the study of how the digital revolution has changed leaders’ interactions with followers via information and communication technologies (ICTs) has been modest, and the theory building in organizational studies and public a…
Defining E‐leadership as Competence in ICT‐Mediated Communications
While many aspects of the dramatic shifts caused by digital government have made enormous progress, the leadership of those who serve the public via electronic means has yet to take a significant step forward. This article addresses three questions: How significant has e‐leadership become? What are the challenges in trying to create a more comprehensive model of defining and measuring e‐leadership? And, based on current knowledge, what skill and …
Enhancing Public Innovation by Transforming Public Governance
Rising and changing citizen expectations, dire fiscal constraints, unfulfilled political aspirations, high professional ambitions, and a growing number of stubborn societal problems have generated an increasing demand for innovation of public policies and services. Drawing on the latest research, this book examines how current systems of public governance can be transformed in order to enhance public innovation. It scrutinizes the need for new ro…
Evaluating Transformational Leaders
Evaluating less than fully successful transformational leaders is difficult. One common method of assessing leadership is to focus on a single temporal narrative. A second approach uses a particular theory, such as transformational leadership, to frame the analysis. The latter, less common strategy is used with the example of Eric Shinseki, who served as both chief of staff of the U.S. Army and as secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affa…
The Failure of Political Leadership
Administrative Leadership Theory
A variety of assessments through 2001 discussed the striking neglect of theory related to leadership in public sector organizational settings. For example, Jerry Gabris, Bob Golembiewski, and Doug Ihrke called on the field to ‘improve on the emaciated condition of public leadership theory’. My assessment of administrative leadership soon thereafter, while trying to emphasize a recent uptick in volume, was nonetheless that ‘the needs are great and…
Lessons from Leadership Theory and the Contemporary Challenges of Leaders
Leadership theories and the academic literature can sometimes seem difficult for practitioners to understand because of complex conceptualizations, obscure terms, and its enormousness. Yet taken as a whole, the literature makes a great deal of sense and has much to offer. Indeed, the truths are often quite simple, elegant, and straightforward. The purpose of this article is to review the major findings of the organizational leadership literature …
The Role of Trust in Leadership
Public Sector Leadership
Two Approaches to Leadership Studies
Making Matters Worse
Catastrophic disasters require additional leadership capabilities because extreme events overwhelm local capabilities and damage emergency response systems themselves. Therefore, leaders at all levels must adapt and rebuild the response system, even while they are addressing the pressing needs of the disaster itself. Leaders can minimize or maximize the effects of the trigger event(s) by their actions and competence in dealing with this especiall…
Reinforcing the Need for More Sophistication in Leadership Studies in the Government Sector
Examining the Nature and Significance of Leadership in Government Organizations
Though the mainstream organizational literature has advanced in the last 20 years with the integration of transformational and distributed leadership theories, as well as genuine attempts at comprehensive models, the public sector literature has lagged, especially in utilizing large‐scale empirical studies. This study takes advantage of a very large government data set to test the utility of one of the best known theories, the “full range” leader…
Leadership in Public Organizations
Now in a completely revised and updated Third Edition, Leadership in Public Organizations provides a compact but complete analysis of leadership for students and practitioners who work in public and nonprofit organizations.

Do Public Administrators Tend to Be Morally Superior
The Evolving Role of the Public Sector in Managing Catastrophic Disasters
This article focuses on the emerging role of the public sector in dealing with catastrophic disasters. An empirical analysis of the 9/11 response operations provides a detailed case study with an eye to its implications for not only emergency management practice but public policy as well. The “horde of hurricanes” inundating Florida in 2004 provides a brief example of a “routine” disaster for comparative purposes. The argument is made that the re…
Everyday Moral Exemplars
Discussion of moral exemplars tends to focus on individuals who occupy exalted positions, but everyday leaders and street-level bureaucrats can also be exemplars. This article uses a model of exemplar behavior based both on good character (recognizing and reflecting on ethical issues, and translating this into ethical actions) and on the more demanding high character (making a substantial contribution and being prepared to exhibit sacrifice or co…

Codes of Ethics as Living Documents
This article provides a framework for creating or revising a code of ethics. It discusses the classical notions of codes of ethics, conduct, and regulations, primarily based on level of abstraction. It also examines the two major issues in constructing codes as well as a series of technical challenges. This is a case study of the formal review process of ASPA’s 1994 code of ethics in 2001–2003. The history of this process is discussed, using an a…

Learning and the Reinvention of Public Sector Organizations
The First Step in the Reinvention Process
The age-old dictum, thyself, applies to organizations as well as people. The penalty for lack of self-understanding is usually failure in crisis and an inability to plan realistically for the future. Because the need and desire to change is becoming commonplace in public sector organizations, causing innumerable organizational planning initiatives and probably as many crises, organizations must be very careful to understand their current values a…
The Sources of Ethical Decision Making for Individuals in the Public Sector
What was the value in changing ASPA's Code of Ethics? Until recently, the Code of Ethics of the American Society for Public Administration symbolized the confusion in the field rather than its insights. The fine content of the former code was lost in numerous, unequal categories and discursive language. The new code has five principles or decision-making sources upon which public administrators should draw. This article demonstrates how the five …
