Policy Dynamics in Contemporary Public Administration Studies: A Conceptual Analysis

This paper aims to provide an overview based on the literatures regarding the development of the study of policy dynamics research in the field of public administration. The study aims to answer the research question, „What is the theoretical and conceptual framework of „policy dynamics“ in the contemporary discourse of current public administration?“. The method used is a bibliometric analysis and semi-systematic literature review in the form of a literature review of international publications published between 1990 and 2020, sourced from the Google Scholar database. The sixty articles that are most relevant in terms of Article title, Abstract, and Keywords (journal articles: 55 papers and Conferences proceedings: 5 papers) are chosen for analysis. As a result, policy dynamics can be grouped into three categories: policy dynamics as historical institutionalism, policy dynamics as policy change, and policy dynamics as policy evolution. This study concludes that policy dynamics is the evolution of policy changes, where these changes have implications for the policies of a regime/government on institutions, actors, and systems within a certain period. This concept manifests in the five new clusters in the definition of policy dynamics, which include regime/government change, institutional change/transformation, changes in issue, direction and content of policy, actor's role and existence, and policy object inputs and outputs.

한국 병역제도 연구 변화 분석

The purpose of this study is to analyze research trends on the military service system in Korea for the past 10 years. A total of 256 papers were extracted as a result of searching with the keywords 'military service', 'conscription system', and 'recruitment system' in the Korean Journal Citation Index and a total of 162 papers that fit the research purpose was analyzed. In terms of research topics, studies on conscientious objection were the most common, followed by improvement of the special military service system and introduction of the military recruitment system. In terms of academic journals, law studies accounted for the most, which is interpreted as conscientious objection to military service is a legal issue. Next, research on the recruitment system was conducted in various fields such as law, military science, public administration and policy studies, and sociology. Literature studies were the most common, and empirical studies or case studies using actual data were very few. Based on the research results, suggestions for future research directions were presented.

The gospels, when properly interpreted, provide the world with a great deal of valuable political information about the teachings of Jesus, which can complement scientific knowledge in the study of government and politics in general.

Challenges and Strategies of Rural Electrification Program for Electric Cooperatives in Central Luzon, Philippines

The Philippine government strongly advocates the Rural Electrification Program for over 50 years, purposely to generate better opportunities that would propel socio-economic development. Various rural electrification initiatives were then established to attain universal electricity access but actual accomplishments continue to lag behind the targets. This study delved into the Rural Electrification Program of four (4) Electric Cooperatives in Central Luzon, Philippines, and assessed its impacts on poverty, health and well-being, quality of education, economic growth and development, industry and infrastructure, and climate change. A descriptive research design was applied and used qualitative and quantitative methods of research in collecting, investigating, and explaining the data. The quantitative method involving numerical data was gathered from the respondents through a survey questionnaire powered by Google forms while in the qualitative aspect, an interview with the respondents along with appropriate observation was conducted. Determination of different problems confronting the said program and the application of aggressive and more advanced strategies were conducted. Findings revealed that the biggest electrification challenge being experienced by Electric Cooperatives (ECs) was rural inaccessibility and remoteness of areas along with difficult or rugged terrain. Thus, the best-recommended solution for non-viable areas after trying all the possible options would be off-grid electrification. In conclusion, the implication of the findings of the study of Public Administration was deliberated to comprehensively assess the opportunities to attain an enhanced quality of life, better access to basic services in areas of health, education, and water as well as resilient infrastructure towards rural development, for the best interest of Filipino people. Keywords: Rural electrification program, Electric services, Universal electricity access, Central Luzon, Philippines

The transformation of government employees’ behavioural intention towards the adoption of E-government services: An empirical study

Electronic government is increasingly dominant in the study of public administration. In analysing people's behavioural factors towards the adoption of e-services, most previous studies targeted the adult population, while those on government employees are minimal. Government employees have an essential function in the process of government operation; they can be regarded as the principal medium of communication between the service provider (government) and the end-users (citizens). This study was designed to understand the government employees' behavioural factors on their intentions towards adopting e-government services. A set of semi-structured interview questions was developed based on the prior literature on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and e-government studies. Ten in-depth interviews were conducted in Macao SAR (Special Administrative Region). In addition to analysing the three primary constructs of TPB, the factor of Trust and some enablers and hindrances were identified. Significant findings were yielded while investigating how the government employees perceived the e-services and how they regarded the general public's perception of this issue. This contextualisation would help policymakers look at this issue from different perspectives and design feasible interventions according to group alignment strategies.

Imaginaries of better administration: Renegotiating the relationship between citizens and digital public power

This article investigates future visions of digital public administration as they appear within a particular regulatory process that aims to enable automated decision-making (ADM) in public administration in Finland. By drawing on science and technology studies, public administration studies, and socio-legal studies we analyze law in the making and identify four imaginaries of public digital administration: understandable administration, self-monitoring administration, adaptive administration, and responsible administration. We argue that digital administration is seen from the perspective of public authorities serving their current needs of legitimizing existing automation practices. While technology is pictured as unproblematic, the citizen perspective is missing. We conclude that the absence of an in-depth understanding of the diverse needs of citizens raises the question whether the relationship between public power and citizens is becoming a one-way street despite of the public administration ideals that express values of citizen engagement.

How do underlying aspects of public service motivation affect employee outcomes in public higher education institutions?

Public service motivation (PSM) has been the topic of many public administration and management studies since 1990. In Vietnam, 2016 marked the beginning of PSM research with a great deal of consideration of the impact of PSM on civil servants' job satisfaction, performance, and organizational commitment. However, no controlled studies have investigated PSM's impact on public employee outcomes, especially in the context of Vietnamese higher education institutions (HEIs). This study aims to examine how underlying aspects of public service motivation (Self-Sacrifice, Commitment to the Public Interest, Attraction to Public Policy Making, and Compassion) affect both positive and negative employee outcome factors, including Work Effort; Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Turnover Intention, and Work-related Stress. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) point out that four PSM sub-constructs have varying effects on employee outcomes, as evidenced by the data from a random sample of three hundred and thirteen lecturers and administrators from Vietnamese public universities. In particular, three sub-constructs of PSM, namely self-sacrifice, dedication to the public interest, and attractiveness to public policymaking favorably influence employees' efforts in their duties; whereas compassion has a negligible influence on work efforts. Four aspects of PSM positively affect work effort and organizational citizenship behavior but adversely influence work-related stress and intention to leave the organization. This research demonstrates that a greater degree of PSM in all sub-constructs is favorably connected with public employees' organizational citizenship behavior. However, PSM negatively correlates with job stress although this is only supported by the sub-construct of selflessness. The findings of this research have proposed several significant recommendations for the approaches taken to human resource management within public universities in Vietnam.

The nexus of public administration, public policy, and nonprofit studies: An empirical mapping of research topics and knowledge integration

AbstractThe interdisciplinary fields of public administration (PA), public policy studies (PP), and nonprofit studies (nonprofit) all contribute to our understanding of public affairs, but the nature and extent of their knowledge integration are empirically unclear. The current study adapts Rafols and Meyer's framework for understanding interdisciplinary research integration and applies bibliometric and qualitative methods to analyze citation trends among PA, PP, and nonprofit journal articles published between 2009 and 2020. Our findings reveal that articles in PA and PP journals cite nonprofit journals at a low (but consistent) rate, while those in nonprofit journals cite their PA and PP counterparts more frequently. Using qualitative coding, we developed a taxonomy of 15 broad research categories at the nexus of the fields: three of these (collaboration, networks, and partnerships; public service provision; and financial management) were shown to integrate knowledge from PA/PP and nonprofits, while several others indicated the potential to do so.

Sustainable Development and Public Policy Revitalization

Sustainable development appears as a new concept or approach, as a correction to development policies or strategies adopted after World War II until the 1980s which were deemed to have failed to achieve the goal, namely creating people's welfare for today's society and humanity in the future. will come. This concept was born from the rise of awareness that economic development has exceeded the carrying capacity of the natural environment, so that this sustainability is questioned. This paper uses a systematic literature review approach. In facing the trends and future of public administration, especially the effects of democratization, the environment, globalization, and the development of information technology, there must be anticipation accompanied by appropriate efforts and steps in the study and practice of public administration. Without these efforts, it is certain that public administration in Indonesia will be left behind, unable to solve administrative problems, and in turn the Indonesian nation will not be able to compete with other nations in the world.

Race in the Middle: Exploring the Impacts of Managerial Differences on Organizational Performance

Public administration studies often fail to address the role of middle management in organizations. On the whole, most scholarship focuses on either top-level or street-level bureaucrats while the saliency of racial identity for management practices is an understudied phenomenon. Bridging the literatures on race in public administration and middle management, we argue that race is a significant component of managerial strategy. Utilizing a large- N dataset of school administrators, this analysis seeks to assess whether differences exist among mid-level managers. Specifically, this study addresses two questions. First, in what ways does middle manager strategy differ by race? Second, if such differences exist, how do they affect organizational performance? Preliminary findings suggest variation in management styles and policy preferences across racial groups. Moreover, race acts as a correlate of administrative and strategy choices, yet the overall impacts of these differential practices are mixed.

Public Administration Studies: The Digital Trajectory

"This paper asks how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) will influence Public Administration (PA) as an academic discipline in the near future, both in research and teaching. After looking at current ICT phenomena — from AI to gaming — and how PA has taken them up, two critical, interlinked phenomena are then analyzed: MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and their effects, including a review of how the Covid-19 pandemic pushed this kind of teaching, and the current ability of algorithms to write a certain type of texts. These may have the effect to strongly enforce, even lock in, current epistemological tendencies of PA, but they may also give rise to an altogether different kind of development of scholarly inquiry in the discipline and beyond."

Historical-evolutionary and Retrograde Approach to the Study of Social Phenomena and Public Administration

Abstract The author of the study presents a new approach to the study of dynamic changes in society. He calls it the historical-evolutionist and retrograde approach. The historical-evolutionist approach is based on the existence of the ontology of the problem. It is based on the reality of evolution. This approach makes it possible to reveal on the historical-evolutionary trajectory the key events (factors) that influenced the historical development and to retrospectively identify their historical significance. On the historical-evolutionary trajectory, we can retrogradely trace various events such as: a node on the trajectory, and a breaking point on an evolutionary trajectory, evolution path branching. disruption, dead end, evolutionary island, embedded history, as well as a form of retrograde revealed possible worlds. These concepts are then demonstrated on the example of the history of public administration in the Czech Republic.

ОЦЕНКА ПОТЕНЦИАЛА ИННОВАЦИОННОГО ЦИФРОВОГО ВЗАИМОДЕЙСТВИЯ ОРГАНОВ ПУБЛИЧНОЙ ВЛАСТИ САНКТ-ПЕТЕРБУРГА

This work is considered as the subject of consideration of the information and telecommunications meeting of public authorities of St. Petersburg (authorities of the Russian Federation, territorial structural divisions of the federal authorities of the Russian Federation and local governments) and its citizens. The aim of the work is a generalized analysis of a prospective review of existing contacts of public authorities, justification in the authorities of St. Petersburg, with the implementation of ontological modeling of work in the “black box” standard and the economic evaluation of competitive products that are currently being implemented using G2G models. In the course of the study of public administration, the authors come to conclusions about problems in the channels of interaction between a person and a civil servant, about the difficulties and losses in the implementation of work within the apparatus with data on excessive budget expenditures for their maintenance and the fundamental absence of a unified corporate system, which can be significant as direct, and indirect expenses of the budget of St. Petersburg on information and telecommunication interaction within the state apparatus and with citizens, creating a complexity that largely limits the sphere of influence.

Public Administration Studies and Management Discourse in the Post-Korean War Period Korea

This article focused on the management discourse after the Korean War and reviewed it focusing on the process of introducing public administration studies. In previous literature, the knowledge of public administration, which was introduced in earnest with US-Korea technical cooperation, was identified only by the influence of American public administration studies, but in this article, it was examined that it was related to studies in Japan as well as in the United States.BRSocial scientists who studied public administration during this period developed two major administrative theories, emphasizing the utility and significance of management in common. One was to understand that politics and administration are inseparable based on the expansion of the function of modern states and the existence of administration-led plans and policies, and to pay attention to the political functions through public administration. The other was to emphasize the uniqueness of public administration and the managerial aspect.BRFrom the postwar period to the early 1960s, knowledge of public administration as a management discourse grew its influence through public official education. American scholar Fred W. Riggs introduced administrative perception based on tradition-modernity dichotomy to Korea and influenced public administration research. The coup forces, who paid attention to the managerial function of public administration, tried to spread management-oriented administrative ideas and attitudes to all public officials, and incorporated management theory into both the subject and the system by establishing the Bureau of administrative management. This aspect was based on the intention of the coup forces to use management discourse as a technology of rule for economic growth and modernization.

Public Value and Ethical Challenges in the COVID-19 Pandemic Response

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major public governance issue in the United States since 2020. Public officials at all levels of government have provided important policies to control the spread of the pandemic and reduce its impact to society. This paper examines public value and ethical challenges that are related to the government’s pandemic responses. The paper first provides a review of value and ethical studies in public administration and public health crisis. It then examines value concerns and ethical challenges in COVID management and policy cases and the influence of political polarization to the value challenges. The paper concludes with discussions about the pandemic’s comprehensive challenges to the traditional professional management and suggestions of public value studies and trainings.
