Public Organizational Stewardship
Stewardship, serving the long-term collective interest over self-interests, is an important component of public employee behavior. However, the various definitions and inconsistent applications of stewardship in the public management knowledge base indicate that its conceptual boundaries remain unclear. In this article, we aim to establish a new concept of “public organizational stewardship (POS)” by synthesizing key characteristics of stewardshi…

Public Employees' whistleblowing intention
Public employees' whistleblowing is an effective anti‐corruption means because they can provide rigorous evidence of wrongdoing in public organizations. However, whistleblowing may cause risks to the individuals and their organization, which discourage them from reporting. While the topic has been understudied, a few studies have adopted the theory of planned behavior (TPB) from psychology to gain insights into whistleblowing. However, these stud…
The Fruits of Diversity and Globalization
The growth of East-Asian scholars in the American public affairs and administration (PA) field is increasingly apparent in recent years. Their participation demonstrates the diversity of the academic community and the globalization of higher education. However, little attention has been paid in the literature to this minority. From the broader perspective, Asian minorities have been overlooked in the discourse on diversity, equity, and inclusion,…
The value of public organizations’ diversity reputation in women’s and minorities’ job choice decisions
Despite the increasing attention given to promoting demographic diversity in the public sector, empirical explanations of what influences people, particularly women and racial minorities, to work in organizations remain insufficient. Based on signalling theory, we provide a theoretical lens that focuses on organizations’ diversity reputation. Using survey data drawn from the US public and non-profit workforce, it examines whether the public secto…
Potentially toxic element (PTE) levels in maize, soil, and irrigation water and health risks through maize consumption in northern Ningxia, China
Maize was contaminated by Pb and Cr, whereas the associated soil and irrigation water were not contaminated by PTEs. Inhabitants would not suffer obvious harmful health risks through maize consumption. Arsenic level and daily intake of maize were the most sensitive factors that impact health risks
Corruption
According to the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) reports, the United States government has become more corrupt under Trump’s administration. This largely attributes to political polarization, pa
How Do Intrinsic Motivations, Work‐Related Opportunities, and Well‐Being Shape Bureaucratic Corruptibility
A large body of research focuses on the institutional factors that shape country‐level corruption and the effectiveness of macro‐level anticorruption measures; however, corruption at the individual level remains understudied and thus poorly understood. This article examines the underlying causes of and mechanisms through which individual government bureaucrats engage in corruption. The researchers develop a framework that incorporates intrinsic m…
Introduction to PAR Symposium of Understanding and Reducing Public Corruption
A s public corruption continues to draw media attention as a global concern, and as one of the most pressing policy challenges to tackle, scholarly investigation into this subject has been relatively meager, especially in public administration and related fields. Due to the literature scarcity, several critical questions remain understudied and are thus poorly understood. For instance, although many countries have made great efforts to fight corr…
What prevents public and private workers in Japan from recognizing gender inequality
Although the percentage of women in Japan’s workforce has increased substantially over the last 30 years, gender inequality in terms of income and position has persisted. A major problem is the lack of consciousness around gender inequality in society. Our study aims to explore the factors, particularly the Japanese style of management and cultural norms, that prevent workers in the public and private sectors from recognizing gender inequality. T…
Do Public Corruption Convictions Influence Citizens’ Trust in Government? The Answer Might Not Be a Simple Yes or No
The influence of corruption convictions on government trust is complicated. On one hand, they may reflect the severity of corruption in a jurisdiction. On the other hand, they might indicate the degree of anticorruption efforts. Existing literature has suggested the severity of corruption’s negative effects and the positive effect of anticorruption efforts on institutional trust. This research synthesized existing studies, identified the intellec…
Financial Markets and Foreign Direct Investment in Greater China
This book provides the basis for a reconceptualization of key features in Southeast Asia's history. Scholars from Europe, America, and Asia examine evolutionary patterns of Europe's and Japan's Southeast Asian empires from the late nineteenth century through World War II, and offer important insights into the specific events of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. In turn, their different perspectives on the political, economic, and cultural currents of …
Government Anti-Corruption Strategies
Practitioners and academics are well aware that corruption has a negative effect on society, especially on economic (Bardhan 1997; Gupta et al. 2002; Heidenheimer et al. 1989; Hope and Chikulo 1999), political (Girling 1997; Heywood 1997), and administrative development (Caiden and Caiden 1977; Werner 1983). The converse of this argument is the proposition that economic and political development reduces corruption. Over the last five decades, Sou…

The City Manager’s Role in Policy-Making
The city manager’s role in policy-making has long been recognized in the public administrationliterature. However, it remains unclear why city managers participate in policy-making at different levels. Two alternative models have been proposed in the literature: the substitution model and the collaboration model. The present study considers multiple dimensions of political leadership and advances a more comprehensive theoretical framework. It the…
City Managers’ Job Satisfaction and Frustration
As an organizational objective and social value, job satisfaction is important in itself. Various studies have investigated job satisfaction of government employees at the federal, state, and local government levels. This study focuses on job satisfaction of city managers. In particular, it develops Herzberg’s motivator-hygiene theory in the context of local government to identify distinct sets of motivators and hygiene factors for city managers.…
Citizen participation in the budget process
Much of the literature on citizen participation in the budget process links the council-manager form of government with higher levels of citizen participation, assuming the council-manager form represents professional administration. This is contradictory to the reality that different forms of government have “borrowed” features from each other and many now have mixed forms of government (i.e., adapted). The literature also contains ambiguities a…
Key Issues for Implementation of Chinese Open Government Information Regulations
The Chinese context is in many ways fundamentally different from other countries where freedom of information laws and regulations are currently implemented. The authors, Suzanne Piotrowski, Yahong Zhang, and Weiwei Lin of Rutgers University – Newark, and Wenxuan Yu of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, identify the primary issues surrounding implementation of China’s new Open Government Information (OGI) regulations and compare the key…
What Drives Charter School Diffusion at the Local Level
While the number of charter schools has increased rapidly in the United States, few studies have examined whether charter schools are implemented in response to real and perceived educational needs or to political and institutional factors in the education policy arena. Unlike traditional policy adoption and diffusion studies that focus on the state level and use a dichotomous dependent variable—adoption or not—this article focuses on local schoo…
