Community‐Oriented or Self‐Interested? Citizen Motivations for Engaging in Digital Coproduction
Public organizations increasingly use digitally enabled platforms such as 311 (a nonemergency service in the United States) to facilitate coproduction and improve service delivery. While prior research has examined coproducers' motivations, we know little about motivations for digital coproduction. This study examines whether residents who engage in digital coproduction are motivated by self‐interest or community orientation, and whether motivati…
Role of AI in Combating Corruption in the U.S. Federal Government
Introduction to the special issue on Inclusion and E-Government
Social equity in the data era
Governments increasingly rely on large amounts of data to deliver public services. In response, there is a robust discussion about the implications of this trend for efficiency and economy, but much less attention is paid to social equity. To address this issue, our study synthesizes cross‐disciplinary research on the relationship between data‐driven public services and social equity. Based on a systematic literature review of 190 articles coveri…
Process effects of multistakeholder institutions
How does membership in transnational multistakeholder institutions shape states' domestic governance? We complement traditional compliance‐based approaches by developing a process model, focusing on the independent effects of processes associated with institutional membership, but separate from commitments and compliance themselves. These effects can be driven by iterative and participatory institutional features, which are increasingly prevalent…
Performance Information, Racial Bias, and Citizen Evaluations of Government
Social accountability reforms emphasize expanding performance information disclosure and incorporating citizen feedback into performance evaluations of public organizations. However, social accountability scholarship has largely ignored possible discriminatory implications of performance information use despite calls for more social equity research. We look to bridge these two literatures, arguing that increasing exposure to performance informati…
Learning from Our Mistakes
In public administration today, many new reform ideas mingle, offering new diagnoses of governmental problems and courses of action. But scholars have highlighted reasons why we should doubt the optimistic claims of reformists. A new set of policy tools called “open government” arrived nearly a decade ago, and scholars have not yet explained its origins or prospects as specific approach to management reform. In this article, we address this lacun…
Latent transparency and trust in government
Transparency is popularly believed to enhance the public's trust in government, yet experimental studies have found mixed results. One explanation is that public trust may respond more positively to a kind of “latent transparency” in which citizens highly value the mere potential for open access to government information, even if they may have more negative reactions when presented with the particular content of actual government information, doc…
Start with the Problem
A key question of each Minnowbrook has been how public administration scholarship can be relevant to practice (Carboni and Nabatchi 2019; Nabatchi and Carboni 2019; O’Leary, Van Slyke, and Kim 2010). This question remains salient today, as public administration scholarship is increasingly distant from the challenges identified by practitioners. Academic research agendas are often disconnected from the social issues and challenges of public govern…
Levels of Value Integration in Federal Agencies' Mission and Value Statements
The Barack Obama administration advanced open government initiatives to make federal administration more open, accountable, and responsive to citizens. Yet a question remains whether federal administrators took notice. This article examines changes in the extent to which U.S. federal agencies have integrated the three core principles of open government—transparency, public participation, and collaboration—into their performance planning. By analy…
The “Open Government Reform” Movement
Open government initiatives, which include not only transparency but also participation and collaboration policies, have become a major administrative reform. As such, these initiatives are gaining cohesiveness in literature. President Obama supported open government through a range of policies including the Open Government Partnership (OGP), a multinational initiative. The OGP requires member organizations to develop open government national act…
Linking Corruption with Institutional Failure, Terrorism, and Religious Extremism
Transparency
The argument presented in this article is a relatively basic one but one that has been overlooked by students of public administration ethics. The analysis is grounded in the writing and ideas of John A. Rohr. Rohr’s body of work includes a focus on ethics and regime values. I show that transparency and ethics are two terms frequently conflated in common usage. Rohr developed the concept of regime values, which is a central component of this arti…
Performance Regimes Amidst Governance Complexity
Much of the appeal of performance measurement is explained by its image as a simple and value-neutral way to monitor and improve government. But contemporary governance is characterized by complexity. Few public officials have the luxury of directly providing relatively simple services, the context in which performance regimes work best. Instead, they must work in the context of a disarticulated state, with policy problems that cross national bou…

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…
Citizen Attitudes Toward Transparency in Local Government
The proper balance between governmental secrecy and open government is at the forefront of contemporary public debate. Citizens have different degrees of interest in and demand for governmental transparency. Using data from a national online survey of more than 1,800 respondents, we develop several indices to measure citizens' demand for transparency at the local level and explore its correlates. We also examine the correlates of citizens' report…
Outsourcing the Constitution and Administrative Law Norms
In the United States, the constitutional constraints and administrative law requirements imposed on government agencies generally have no applicability to private entities performing outsourced public administrative activities. In this article, the authors broadly explore the issues associated with outsourcing constitutional and administrative law norms along with government work by imposing them on private contractors. The authors seek to help f…
Nonmission–Based Values in Results–Oriented Public Management
Since the 1940s, Congress and the federal courts have sought to make U.S. federal administration more responsive to democratic–constitutional values, including representation, participation, transparency, and individual rights. As manifested in the National Performance Review, the New Public Management emphasis on results may reduce attention to these values, which for most agencies are not intrinsically mission–based. Freedom of information illu…
Capital Requirements for Elementary and Secondary Public Schools in the Context of Funding Public School Construction
A recent study by the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) found that years of underfunding through 1994 had left investment in U.S. public schools short by $126 billion. To better understand the GAO finding, the authors estimated capital stocks in U.S. public schools; they then projected future capital stocks and infrastructure deficiencies. They use this framework to interpret two federal public school construction financing options: tax credit…
