    Cultural competency is critical to ensuring responsive public services. This article asks how we might develop individual cultural competency in a meaningful way, including which interventions are effective in enhancing cultural competence of experienced public employees. We examine the impact of targeted interventions on the development of individual public administrator cultural competence using a survey developed by Longoria and Rangarajan. Th…

  • Revitalize the Public Service, Revitalize the Middle Class

    Open AccessHeather Getha‐taylorARTICLEPublic Administration Review2019Referências: 7

    The reinventing government movement of the 1990s reshaped the public sector in significant ways. Creating a government that worked better and cost less was accomplished through streamlined federal middle management ranks and privatized service delivery, which contributed to the emergence of a “hollow state.” Workforce reductions that addressed short‐term economic realities effectively threatened the long‐term sustainability of governmental organi…

    Erin L Borry, Heather Getha-Taylor et al.ARTICLEPublic Integrity2019Citada por: 5Referências: 17

    Automation promises to reshape a variety of work contexts in the coming years and the public sector will not be immune. While technology broadly—and automation in particular—offers a range of potential benefits from standardization to operational efficiency to financial savings, the potential tradeoffs and ethical impacts should not be neglected. This article addresses potential implications of automation as they apply to the public-sector workfo…

    Open AccessHeather Getha-Taylor, Heather Getha‐taylor et al.ARTICLEThe American Review of Public…2018Citada por: 15Referências: 37

    Trust is often touted as both an element of success and an outcome of interest in collaboration research, usually without defining the term or acknowledging the possibility of collaborating when trust is diminished or absent. This article broadens our theoretical understanding of the concept of trust, and the ability to collaborate in the absence of trust, by looking at it through the lenses of conflict resolution, psychology, and law. The discip…

  • How Public Service Leadership Is Studied

    Open AccessCarrie L Chapman, Carrie Chapman et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration2015Citada por: 11Referências: 10

    This exploratory study surveys the public service leadership literature from a selection of leading public administration journals over a 25‐year period (1987–2012). Patterns in methods used to study public leadership are explored, along with how those methods vary across settings within the public service sector and the treatment of leadership in the analysis. While the number of empirical studies of public service leadership has grown, the dive…

  • Focusing the Public Leadership Lens

    H Getha-Taylor, Heather Getha‐taylor et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Administration…2011Citada por: 33Referências: 32

    Although there is no shortage of general studies and theories of leadership, the same cannot be said for public leadership. This concern surfaced as a critical issue among scholars at the 2008 Minnowbrook III conference. Drawing from that discussion, this article calls for invigorating the study of public leadership within public administration (PA). We present the case for public leadership, that is, leadership for the public good, where challen…

  • Managing the “New Normalcy” with Values‐Based Leadership

    Open AccessHeather Getha‐taylorARTICLEPublic Administration Review2009Referências: 2

    Tensions remain in adapting to the “new normalcy”—that is, the balance between national security and other democratic and administrative priorities in the aftermath of 9/11. Perhaps no one appreciates this balance more than Admiral James Loy. Immediately following the September 11 attacks, he left his post as commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard to accept the challenge of standing up the Transportation Security Administration. Next, Loy tackled the…

    Open AccessPatricia Wallace Ingraham, Heather Getha-Taylor et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration2005Citada por: 1Referências: 1

    In the career civil service the US federal government has long been guided by a merit system. This article traces how the principle of merit in appointment and promotion has developed since the nineteenth century and examines contemporary applications of competency frameworks in the US – their development, character, strengths and weaknesses. If core competency discussions and frameworks are to have a broader impact at both the government wide an…
