Although these administrative requirements are commonly viewed as burdensome, they play a critical role in safeguarding program integrity. Drawing from a pre-registered survey experiment conducted among Danish residents (<i>n</i> = 2004), this article examines citizen attitudes toward policy reforms that either intensify or alleviate the burden of formal documentation requirements. We analyze how these contrasting types of policy reforms shape citizen support, with a particular emphasis on the trade-off between compliance burden and program integrity protection. Furthermore, the impact of whether these changes in requirements apply to citizens or public employees is explored. Our findings suggest a general preference among citizens for the removal of administrative documentation requirements aimed at protecting program integrity, regardless of whether they apply to citizens or public employees. These attitudes appear influenced by political ideology, personal experience, and the specific policy area context.","PeriodicalId":48431,"journal":{"name":"Public Administration Review","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142849548","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 paper uses both qualitative and quantitative approaches to address the following question: To what extent does global collaboration (GC) impact governance in non-democratic countries? The paper incorporates proxies for GC, more deeply exploring the dynamics and frameworks that link GC and governance. The GC variables measuring institutional globalization have a positive impact on governance, while global openness and information globalization have a negative impact. These mixed results invite further research on governance and GC. However, the national visions can set the stage for future agendas that combine partnership, collaboration, transparency, and innovation to achieve GG.","PeriodicalId":48431,"journal":{"name":"Public Administration Review","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142804727","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 examines the implications of such bureaucratic prioritization on democratic governance, specifically the public's attitudes toward how frontline workers prioritize among clients. Using data from a pre-registered, rank-based conjoint survey experiment conducted among residents (<i>n</i> = 2655) in Denmark, the Netherlands, and New Zealand, we explore two key aspects of bureaucratic prioritization from the public's perspective: (1) citizens' preferences on how teachers <i>should</i> prioritize among students and (2) citizens' beliefs about how teachers <i>do</i> prioritize among students. Our findings reveal general alignments between the public's normative preferences, their descriptive beliefs, and the prioritization tendencies of real-life teachers as documented in previous research. We discuss the implications of these results in terms of administrative legitimacy and the governance perspective of New Public Service.","PeriodicalId":48431,"journal":{"name":"Public Administration Review","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142758562","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}

To fill this gap, we conducted a corresponding field experiment in the U.S. nursing home market (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 6428). Our findings identify substantial discrimination against Asians and noncitizen immigrants. Holding other factors constant, nursing homes with long‐term care services in the United States are less responsive to and less likely to offer services to Asians and noncitizen immigrants, compared to Whites and citizens, respectively. Such discrimination is observed in all public, private for‐profit, and nonprofit nursing homes, whereas private for‐profit nursing homes demonstrated less discrimination. This study has implications for describing frontline discrimination in government‐regulated public service organizations and for scholarly understanding of the mechanism of such discrimination.","PeriodicalId":48431,"journal":{"name":"Public Administration Review","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142756113","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}
