Abstract
Behavioral insights teams (BITs) employ behavioral experts and policy professionals to collaboratively improve public policy. Most evaluations of BITs focus on the interventions that BITs develop, but not the functioning of BITs. Here, we report the first comprehensive evaluation of a BIT, the Behavioral Insights Group Rotterdam. We investigate how its resources were used, for what activities, with what outputs, and to which effects. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, we derive nine propositions to describe and improve the integration of behavioral insights into public policy and administration.
期刊介绍:
Administration & Society seeks to further the understanding of public and human service organizations, their administrative processes, and their effect on society. The journal publishes empirically oriented research reports and theoretically specific articles that synthesize or contribute to the advancement of understanding and explanation in these fields. Of particular interest are (1) studies that analyze the effects of the introduction of administrative strategies, programs, change interventions, and training; and (2) studies of intergroup, interorganizational, and organization-environment relationships and policy processes.
