Does Confucianism, a widely shared set of traditional ideas, inform Chinese homeowners in governing their neighborhoods? Based on in-depth interviews with 27 homeowner association (HOA) organizers from 16 neighborhoods in Beijing, we found evidence suggesting that their governing behaviors were informed by traditional Confucian conceptual distinctions and normative expectations: Stringent expectations were found on HOA organizers to serve with purely “public” motives and renounce “private” ones; neighborhood management, meanwhile, was not merely considered as a means for improving living conditions, but a patriotic act of serving the country. Arguably, these meanings corresponded to the Confucian ideal of junzi and its guide to moral cultivation. They helped sustain homeowners’ participation and promote a social norm that maintained accountability for their behaviors. The findings suggest further research on neighborhood governance, and contribute to the reforming governance of contemporary China.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"113 - 127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43361269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past two decades, the literature on the content, rationale, challenges, and consequences of these reforms as implemented both in the West and in the East has grown rapidly. Studies show that one feature these reforms share is the use of preestablished, often specific and quantified, goals and targets to motivate public officials to achieve intended results. That being the case, one important angle to investigate when studying the so-called “governanceby-targets” regimes (Bevan and Hood, 2006) is how performance targets and goals are established and adjusted over time. In turn, this leads to questions of how the attributes of performance goals, targets, and indicators affect the behavior of public officials.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"148 - 149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42341997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Callahan","doi":"10.22140/CPAR.V9I2.168","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22140/CPAR.V9I2.168","url":null,"abstract":"An understudied aspect of performance management systems is how performance management systems emerge in public agencies. This research focuses on the emergence of performance management systems, studying two cases with divergent outcomes in the State of California. The first case study is about the Performance Management Council, which included the voluntary participation of more than 20 California state agencies, departments, and divisions. The second case study is about the Department of Toxic Substances Control within the California Environmental Protection Agency. These cases, which impacted 35 million residents in a state with a $200 billion annual budget, potentially offer findings valuable to nations and to large sub-national units of government such as large states, districts, and provinces. This research offers three contributions to public sector performance management research literature. First, it addresses a gap in the understanding of how performance management systems emerge through dialogue and learning forums. Second, the research extends the study of performance management to the policy arenas of environmental protection, water resources, and other policy domains typically not researched in performance management. Third, the research connects performance management to the research on the reform of public agencies, diffusion of practices, and organizational change.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"128 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46824773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, less attention has been paid to what kinds of social sector organizations these competing or conflicting studies were empirically examining. This lack of a synthesis of the organizational foundations of these studies has resulted in fragmentation and weak generalization of the arguments on Chinese state-society relations. To address this issue, this article systematically reviews the organizational bases in the extant literature on the Chinese state-society relations. It then constructs an inclusive organizational framework, social value chains (SVCs), for future research by combining two mainstream organizational forms in extant research with two understudied organizational types. This new organizational framework includes four types of social sector organizations: infrastructure organizations, financial organizations, support organizations, and operating organizations. This article concludes by revealing potential applications of the new organizational framework to guide future research on state-society relations in China.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"55 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48203733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The founding fathers of the U.S. public administration field like Woodrow Wilson and Frank Goodnow strongly advocated the politics-administration dichotomy in the study of public administration. However, this orthodoxy didn’t last very long. The great expansion of government functions, with heavy involvement of political operations in the administrative process during World War II and the post-war period, forced scholars to disclaim the feasibility of the orthodoxy, yet the shadow of orthodox public administration persists. The government reform activities around the world since the late 1980s and 1990s have been enthusiastic about the introduction of business management practices to improve government performance, implying another triumph of managerialism in the administrative process over politics. Indeed, despite the paradigm changes in U.S. public administration over the last 100 years (Lu, 2013), the tension between politics and administration continues puzzling the research and practice of public administration and the search for new answers.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"75 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49556844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper develops innovative measures to operationalize “mission alignment” using data science methodology, and examines the impact of revenue sources on mission alignment. By using the cosine similarity of text between a mission statement and program description, four measures of mission alignment are devised: the sum cosine similarity, average cosine similarity, weighted sum cosine similarity, and weighted average cosine similarity. Text analysis indicates that a majority of the programs evidence educational purposes, and for-profit business plays an important role in foundations’ projects and funding. The regression analysis shows that personal donation and service revenue can increase mission alignment, while organizational donation and membership dues decrease mission alignment.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"25 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43947940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, issues related to the role of non-profit organizations (NPOs) in compulsory education aid have received little attention. This study draws on Dennis Young's complementarity theory - one of the most prominent non-profit theories - in examining the necessity and feasibility of NPO aid to Chinese compulsory education. In addition, it undertakes exploratory research in order to test an integrated model. Based on both data collected in surveys and statistical data from 263 Chinese county-level jurisdictions in five provinces, this study concludes that NPO aid can positively influence compulsory education outcomes in mainland China. Its main contribution is to expand our understanding of NPOs and offer insights on how public managers can improve governance.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"34 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44925824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, given their importance in the nonprofit sector, study of these foundations is essential. This study comprised an empirical evaluation of the financial health of Chinese foundations based on a sample of 2,763 foundations and 10,102 observations. The Tuckman and Chang (1991) model, which measures adequacy of equity, revenue diversification, administrative cost ratio, and operating margin, revealed three major findings: (1) two-thirds of the Chinese foundations were financially unhealthy; (2) from 2008 to 2013, foundations’ overall financial health experienced moderate improvement, with public foundations outperforming private foundations; and (3) newer foundations may improve their health more quickly than older foundations. However, because their level of improvement ranged from low to moderate, these financial health scores should be interpreted conservatively. The decreased number of unhealthy foundations does not mean foundations have improved on all measures. Public foundations did not perform better on all measures than private foundations. In the period mentioned above, newer foundations improved on equity ratio and revenue diversification.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":"9 1","pages":"6 - 24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41336878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
