To achieve this, the study (1) examined the influence of citizens’ normative expectations of what services should be on their satisfaction levels, utilizing a survey experiment involving 735 Chinese citizens; (2) tested the anchoring effects that result from numerical anchors on satisfaction; and (3) employed debiasing education to mitigate anchoring effects on satisfaction. The findings reveal a negative correlation between citizens’ normative expectations and their satisfaction levels, highlighting the influence of anchoring effects on citizen satisfaction. Debias education is effective in mitigating bias on expectations but does not equally address issues related to satisfaction levels. These findings contribute to the cross-national generalizability of the expectancy disconfirmation model and citizen satisfaction literature.Keywords: Anchoring effectscitizen satisfactionexpectancy disconfirmation modelnormative expectationsurvey experiment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant [No. 72134002]; Key Projects of Philosophy and Social Sciences Research, Ministry of Education under Grant [No. 21JZD029]; Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities under Grant [No. 2019CDJSK01PY04, 2022CDJSKJC23]; National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant [No. T221101034]; and Chongqing Social Science Planning Talents Plan Project [No. 2021YC019].Notes on contributorsJinfeng ZhangJinfeng Zhang is an associate professor in the School of Public Policy and Administration at Chongqing University, China.

A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of Interlocal Industrial Parks in China’s Yangtze River Delta","authors":"Chunyou Li, Shuzhen Lou","doi":"10.1080/15309576.2023.2279718","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15309576.2023.2279718","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractRecent studies suggest that influence of contextual and cooperative arrangements on interlocal cooperation should be best understood as part of configurations. This study enriches this nascent perspective by developing a configurational theoretical framework and explores how contextual conditions (institutional proximity, geographic proximity, organizational proximity) and cooperative arrangements (goal interdependence, resource complementarity, collaborative structure) combine to influence interlocal cooperation in economic development. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis is used to analyze 34 interlocal industrial parks (IIPs) in the Yangtze River Delta of China. The results show two first-order equifinal configurations and six second-order configurations that lead to the success of IIP. The findings underscore that success conditions of interlocal cooperation in economic development work in configurations, not in isolation, and contribute meaningfully to debates pertaining to specific conditions.Keywords: Interlocal cooperationeconomic developmentfsQCAChinaSubject classification codes: H70H77R57L52 Authors contributionsConceptualization, C.L.; Formal Analysis, C.L., S.L.; Funding Acquisition, C.L., S.L.; Methodology, C.L., S.L.; Validation, S.L.; Writing—Original Draft, C.L.; Writing—Review and Editing, C.L., S.L.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data underlying this article are available in the article and its supplementary material.Notes1 Due to the word limit, we put much of the research materials in the supplementary material.

However, despite the call for the adoption of experimental approaches to the study of public service motivation (PSM) – one of the most researched topics in the field of public administration – we find that the number of such studies is small in this first-ever review of systematic assessment of experimental research on PSM. Reviewing the universe of such experimental studies − 41 in total – by their topic and type, first, we find that they are concentrated on the analysis of the efforts of PSM and in survey experiments by type. Second, while many studies confirm that PSM positively influences various outcomes, they also show that other intrinsic and extrinsic motivations often outperformed PSM. Third, while acknowledging that methodologically, the randomization of treatment has been well adopted in recent years, we highlight some key recommendations for further improvements regarding the type of experiment, sample characteristics, measurement, and treatment sequences based on our review.Keywords: Experimentsfield experimentpublic service motivation (PSM)social desirability biassurveysystematic review Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 For the parsimony and replicability of our case selection, we followed the outlined process while limiting subjective researcher decisions as much as possible. That said, we acknowledge that we may have missed some closely related studies on PSM that did not directly use the term or did not involve experimental manipulation and random assignment of PSM or other key variables of interest that might causally affect PSM.2 The coding process included all three coauthors to thoroughly review the coding results. At the initial stage, all three coauthors jointly searched, screened, and reviewed the relevant articles. After obtaining 41 articles, two of the coauthors regularly held meetings – both face-to-face and via online – to discuss the coding results and decide which categories to code. In this process, the two coauthors independently read the articles and cross-checked the results. After the cross-validation by the two coauthors, the third coauthor conducted the final review.3 We categorized each study based on the information it provided as much as possible. For the most part, this was relatively easy since most studies explicitly described the type of experiment they conducted. One study (Sun et al., Citation2019) did not explicitly identify the type of experiment employed, and we used our discretion to categorize the study as a lab experiment.4 One article was categorized as both a lab and survey experiment.

This study aims to determine which characteristics of public health services, if any, influence the contracting out decision in local health departments. The transaction cost approach, market failure theory, and government failure theory provide theoretical frameworks for how two characteristics of public health services—asset specificity and service measurability—could impact the decision to make or buy in local health departments. This study employs a multinomial logistic regression model for analysis and uses multiple data sources. The findings suggest that public health agencies are less likely to deliver services internally at low and high levels of transaction costs, while more likely to produce services in-house at moderate levels of transaction costs. Furthermore, for services that are difficult to measure vendor performance, LHDs are less likely to choose complete contracting.Keywords: Contractinghealth carelocal health departmentoutsourcingmake-or-buypublic health Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available in https://www.naccho.org/resources/lhd-research/national-profile-of-local-health-departments.Notes1 To mitigate dropout bias, we took several measures. Initially, the survey underwent a pretesting phase involving two colleagues, which enabled us to enhance the questionnaire’s clarity. Additionally, we sent out reminder emails after the first invitation email, emphasizing the significance of participants’ input and the compensation offered for their time. We received some auto responses indicating that individuals were out of the office and unavailable for contact, due to reasons such as summer vacation, job transitions, or retirement, during the four-week survey window (late June to late July 2023). Ultimately, 24 public health experts participated in the survey, with 20 completing the questionnaire. Despite including only 39 out of 85 services, the questionnaire spans eight pages and has sixteen questions. As a results, dropouts occurred during the survey. Two individuals discontinued at Question 2 (screening for disease/conditions). One participant dropped out during Question 4 (maternal and child health). And one respondent exited the survey at Question 5 (other health services). In general, we’ve taken efforts to make more people respond and lessen the dropout bias.Additional informationNotes on contributorsTianshu (Tina) ZhaoTianshu (Tina) Zhao is an Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Administration at California State University Long Beach.

This study contributes to this line of research by examining the influence women have on municipal public debt. To this aim, we use a sample of 141 Spanish municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants for the period 2008–2020. The empirical results suggest that municipalities that are leaded by a female mayor tend to show lower levels of public debt. In addition, empirical results reveal an inverted U-shaped relationship between the proportion of female councilors and the level of public debt. This means that the higher the proportion of female councilors, the lower the level of indebtedness, but this positive effect appears only if the number of female councilors is relatively high.Keywords: Female councilorsfemale mayorgenderindebtednesslocal governmentspublic debt Notes1 To know the number of councillors, see Article 179 of the Organic Law of the General Electoral Regime.2 Article 26 of the Local Government Regulatory Law (Ley Reguladora de Bases de Régimen Local) establishes a list of minimum services to be provided by local authorities: all municipalities, regardless of the number of inhabitants, must provide public lighting, cemeteries, waste collection, street cleaning, drinking water, sewer systems and drains, paving and access to the municipality. Municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants must additionally provide parks and green areas, libraries and waste treatment. Municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants must additionally provide police and protection services, social services, firefighting services and sports facilities. Finally, municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants must additionally provide public transport and environmental protection services.3 Heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation have been checked using the Breusch–Pagan and Wooldridge tests, whose p-values lead us to reject the null hypotheses of homoscedastic and no-serially correlated errors at a 95% confidence level. Endogeneity problems also arise in Model 1 because it is autoregressive of order 1. The results could be additionally controlled by other factors (e.g., population density, income, tourism and migration, etc.). These have been omitted because they are correlated with other control variables, and they would introduce multicollinearity (Wooldridge, 2010).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación [Grant/Award No. PID2021-122419OB-I00-GELESMAT]Notes on contributorsBeatriz Cuadrado-BallesterosBeatriz Cuadrado-Ballesteros is an Associate Professor in Accounting and Finance at the University of Salamanca, where she earned her PhD in Business.
