Dynamic capabilities in institutionalized public services
Why do some public service organizations outperform others despite the same institutional constraints? Drawing on dynamic capabilities theory, we examine how dynamic managerial capabilities (DMCs) enable dynamic organizational capabilities (DOCs) influencing performance in institutionalized contexts. Using multi-respondent survey data from 127 English hospitals, combined with independent performance ratings, we test these relationships using PLS-…
Facilitators and barriers to adopting or expanding medications for opioid use disorder provision in rural Colorado jails
Racial/ethnic residential segregation and the availability of opioid and substance use treatment facilities in US counties, 2009–2019
Deaths due to synthetic opioids have increased at higher rates for Blacks and Hispanics than for Whites in the last decade. Meanwhile, Blacks and Hispanics experience lower opioid treatment rates and have less availability of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) via office-based buprenorphine in their counties compared to Whites. Racial/ethnic residential segregation is a recognized barrier to equal availability of MAT, but little is known about h…
Updating the Institutional Collective Action Framework
The Institutional Collective Action (ICA) framework has contributed to understanding collective action problems in fragmented governance and identified mechanisms for overcoming them. Participation in collaboration is risky––even if it has the potential to make all parties better off. This framework has uniquely shown how collaboration risk and other transaction costs can be overcome to create effective collaborations for addressing complex polic…
Urban‐Rural Disparities in Opioid Use Disorder Prevention and Response Activities
PURPOSE: Urban and rural areas have been differentially impacted by opioid use disorder (OUD) and related adverse outcomes, yet little systematic study of the urban-rural divide in OUD prevention and response activities exists. This study compares policy and programmatic activities to tackle the opioid crisis in metropolitan versus nonmetropolitan areas, and within their subclassifications. METHODS: All county governments in 5 purposively selecte…
Performance, Satisfaction, or Loss Aversion? A Meso–Micro Assessment of Local Commitments to Sustainability Programs
A normative assumption of government reform efforts such as New Public Management is that fostering a more innovative, proactive, and risk-taking organizational culture—developing what has been described as an “entrepreneurial orientation” (EO)—improves performance. But in arenas like urban sustainability, performance can be an ambiguous, multifaceted concept. Managers’ assessments of their own nimbleness, innovative thinking, and risk culture ar…
Linking local sustainability policies to health outcomes
Sustainable cities are assumed to be healthier, but the relationship between sustainability policies and health outcomes is conspicuously overlooked in the empirical literature. We investigate this association by examining how local greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement, energy, alternative transportation, and land use-building policy activities relate to the prevalence of respiratory and obesity-related illnesses in medium and large U.S. cities. Mergin…
Elucidating the Linkages Between Entrepreneurial Orientation and Local Government Sustainability Performance
Linking strategic management to performance has been called essential for public managers to confront pernicious environmental and community problems in the 21st century. This article examines the role that an organization’s entrepreneurial orientation (EO) plays in the linkages between organizational capacities, strategies, and perceived performance. An EO is considered a key driver of a public organization’s willingness to engage in risk taking…
What do we know about urban sustainability? A research synthesis and nonparametric assessment
Urban sustainability has become a burgeoning practical and scholarly enterprise over the last two decades. Yet, there have been few attempts to systematically assess what cumulative knowledge this research is generating. We advance our understanding of urban sustainability by synthesising extant empirical findings to gauge progress made towards developing theoretical insight, and then testing a nonparametric predictive model that helps overcome m…
Practical prescriptions for governing fragmented governments
Fragmentation of authority creates dilemmas in governance in which an individual authority’s incentives are misaligned with collective interests. Such dilemmas hinder progress towards solving complex societal problems and improving service delivery, but policy research has failed to lead to a development of actionable prescriptions for dealing with them from an institutional perspective. This article draws practical lessons and theoretical propos…
Context matters
Public administration scholars have argued the need for a ‘general theory’ linking strategic management to the context in which public organizations operate. Understanding the interplay between organizational contexts and strategic management responses to urban sprawl and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remains an underexplored avenue for empirical advancement of this goal. Using 2015 survey data, we employ a novel Bayesian item response theory (I…
Three Sides of the Same Coin? A Bayesian Analysis of Strategic Management, Comprehensive Planning, and Inclusionary Values in Land Use
Local government managers face fundamental, value conflicts when they engage urban land use issues. Despite the planet's ongoing urbanization, managerial influence on land use policy remains an under-examined arena. Local governments are routinely asked to balance economic, ecological, and social equity concerns when making choices between alternative land use policy tools. Are local government sustainable development efforts more strategic, comp…
Is the Price Right? Gauging the Marketplace for Local Sustainable Policy Tools
Local government sustainability has become a cause célèbre in urban policy. Extant research has attempted to construct narratives of sustainable environmental, economic, and social equity motivations by grouping together multifaceted types of policies adopted to deal with multidimensional problems of land use, transportation, energy, solid waste, carbon emissions, and other functional areas of local government. Yet, decades of policy adoption and…
Examining the Impact of Local Collaborative Tools on Urban Sustainability Efforts
Collaborative management is thought to enhance policy implementation in urban settings by overcoming governmental fragmentation, creating greater goal consensus, increasing access to resources, and facilitating policy learning. However, empirical studies of this relationship are conspicuously absent, limiting researchers’ ability to predict how collaborative tools will directly and indirectly affect local implementation outcomes. This article inv…
