We draw from intraorganizational influence theory and propose a revised taxonomy of tactics that vary along two dimensions: coerciveness (soft and hard) and orientation (relational and rational). We test factors associated with their use in the context of municipal sustainability, an objective that requires input from multiple distinct units for which it is not a core mission. Analysis of a sample of over 500 United States cities shows that the hard–rational approach of citing formally adopted ordinances or plans in an attempt to compel participation was the most frequently used tactic. The results of a multivariate probit regression further suggest that features of city governments' organizational structure and the support received from elected officials are associated with the use of different influence tactics to achieve collective action around sustainability initiatives.","PeriodicalId":48431,"journal":{"name":"Public Administration Review","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143653369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using social cognitive theory, we first hypothesize that the relationship between red tape and job satisfaction is mediated by self-efficacy. Second, we argue that red tape is particularly harmful for job satisfaction in high-individualistic cultures. Using a survey dataset of 110,746 teachers across 45 countries, we find that self-efficacy is a statistically significant mediator in the red tape—job satisfaction relationship, explaining about 8% of the relationship. Self-efficacy does not offer a particularly potent mechanism explaining the red tape—job satisfaction relationship, though it does matter. Importantly, we also corroborate assumptions about the role of culture in red tape and public administration research, by finding that red tape is much more harmful for job satisfaction in high-individualistic cultures.","PeriodicalId":48431,"journal":{"name":"Public Administration Review","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143635359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article conducts a systematic review of the early Trump and Biden administration's use of unilateral action to influence PK-12 policy. We find that despite President Trump's campaign rhetoric around deregulation, both administrations employed unilateral action to influence education, although they pursued divergent policy priorities. We then demonstrate that across administrations, our multiple-level system of governance moderates presidential influence over education policy. We conclude that despite executive reliance on administrative action, state actors can play an important role in directing education policy by maintaining or challenging presidential priorities.","PeriodicalId":48431,"journal":{"name":"Public Administration Review","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143608583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the role of meso-level induced changes has only recently started to receive some attention, and not much is yet known about how collaborative systems at the managerial level affect pathways of administrative reform. Here we compare the two most significant periods of reform in New Zealand in the past 50 years. The 1988–1989 reforms were based on simple (arguably simplistic) assumptions, amenable to rapid and politically led top-down reform. In contrast, the 2012–2020 reforms conceived of public administration as a complex social system suited to incremental managerially induced change that was mainly driven by the bureaucratic elite. Our article shows that collective leadership may result in extensive paradigmatic changes through endogenous feedback and meso-level induced processes.","PeriodicalId":48431,"journal":{"name":"Public Administration Review","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143599966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In government contracting research, empirical measurements of key TC theoretical constructs are limited to the International City/County Management Association's surveys of US municipal and county governments. We present a preregistered method using machine learning algorithms to generate product-level TC measures from contract text data and a government contract manager survey. We verify the algorithms' out-of-sample performance and use them to generate TC measures for additional products from corresponding contract text data. The result is a publicly available database of new TC measures for 176 diverse products and services covered in the European Union's Common Procurement Directives. These new measures facilitate the application of the TC framework across public management, including research on government contracting, collaboration, networks, and governance.","PeriodicalId":48431,"journal":{"name":"Public Administration Review","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143532762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we examine how individual- and organizational-level factors relate to evidence informed policy making. Using the Norm of Evidence and Research in Decision-making (NERD), we conduct an online survey to analyze evidence informed policy making perceptions of public officials (<i>n</i> = 438) holding policy responsibilities within the Flemish (Belgian) government. The results highlight the importance of a rational, results- and production-oriented organizational culture, adequate access to information, sufficient time, and appropriate personnel. At the individual level, person-organization fit and public sector experience are associated with evidence use. Enhancing our knowledge of these organizational and individual factors is crucial for advancing the theory and practice of evidence informed policy making in public organizations.","PeriodicalId":48431,"journal":{"name":"Public Administration Review","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143532760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
