This study expands this realm of scholarship and practice by examining the job experiences of Black firefighters in predominantly White fire departments. Semi-structured interviews with 21 Black firefighters on citizen interactions, representation in their organization and leadership, racist experiences, and unique challenges they faced. The findings demonstrated that (1) Black firefighters experienced double standards compared to White firefighters, (2) Black firefighters’ qualifications were consistently questioned, and (3) they dealt with significant stereotyping and prejudice in the workplace. Taken together, these results suggest that institutional and structural racism in frontline work is produced through Black firefighters’ interactions with colleagues and supervisors, through the unequal application of punitive policies or through experiencing expressions of racial stereotypes. These results have practical implications for how to recruit and retain racially minoritized employees in frontline work.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146014344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, organizations implement public employer branding strategies to attract and retain talent. Employees play a crucial role in promoting the organization’s employer brand, making it essential for public employers to encourage employees to display ambassadorship. Leadership practices can create an environment that fosters employee contributions to organizational success. This study, employing self-determination theory, explores how supervisors satisfying employees’ basic needs could foster ambassadorship. Surveys administered in a Belgian local government ( N employees = 228; N supervisors = 41) revealed that social support indirectly related to ambassadorship via relatedness need satisfaction. Exploratory analyses showed some support for the moderating role of supervisor ambassadorship modeling in this relationship. Overall, social support emerges as a crucial leadership practice for fostering ambassadorship, explaining leadership’s role in employer branding within the public sector.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145893944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its training applicability within public organizations remains underexplored. Based on a pre-registered field experiment that provides randomized organizational development interventions in distributed leadership compared to goal-oriented leadership and motivation interventions in four different public service sectors, this study examines training effects on distributed leadership behavior and perceived alignment of leadership processes. Our findings provide limited support to the expectation that the distributed leadership training program directly increases employee-perceived distributed leadership behavior and alignment compared to the two other training programs. However, organizational units with low pre-training levels of aligned leadership substantially increase their distributed leadership behaviors and alignment through organizational development interventions—regardless of the training content. This study thereby highlights important conditions for the trainability of distributed leadership within public organizations when managers and employees are trained together.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145893945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, although agency chief financial officers (CFOs) are central to managing federal finances, their influence on financial performance has been largely unexamined. This study analyzes the effects of CFO professionalism—defined by specialized education, work experience, and career aspirations—on the financial management performance of 26 U.S. federal agencies from 2003 to 2021. It also examines how agency-level professionalism, particularly the presence of experienced professionals in supervisory positions, influences financial performance. Using an ordinary least squares (OLS) model with agency and year fixed effects, the findings indicate that CFOs’ prior work experience, especially their tenure, is positively associated with financial performance, whereas educational background shows no significant effect. At the agency level, a higher proportion of professional specialists in supervisory positions is associated with a higher level of financial performance. These results underscore the importance of both individual executive attributes and broader organizational professionalism in enhancing public management outcomes.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"155 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145770682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, rules may not always capture the complexities of daily life, making them seem burdensome to citizens and professionals. In such cases, prosocial rule-breaking (PSRB) can be a means to better serve the public. We investigate antecedents of PSRB, hypothesizing that goal and task uncertainty reduce professionals’ engagement in PSRB and that supervisors’ leadership mitigates uncertainty, affecting PSRB behavior. Using data from Dutch social welfare professionals ( N = 823) and their supervisors ( N = 63), we found that task uncertainty is negatively related to PSRB, while goal uncertainty and supervisor leadership have no impact on PSRB. These findings advance research on discretion by highlighting uncertainty as an individual level antecedent of PSRB. Practically, they underscore the need for managerial and HRM support to help professionals navigate task uncertainty when organizations want to foster PSRB.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145447130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
