In spite of attempting to implement e-government innovations enhance efficiency in public organizations for several decades, innovation has often not met the expectations citizens, legislatures, or organizations. Although a wide range causes from poor planning improper implementation have been suggested explanation failures, it is still challenging theoretically construct an what overarching dynamic behind those causes. To further develop understanding conditions unrealized benefits...

Innovation in the public sector has long been criticized for its failure to fulfill expectations of higher efficiency and better service. Scholars have reported disappointing results implementing successful innovations. In this article, we develop a conceptual framework that emphasizes organizations' capacity maintain balance between new innovations refinement existing knowledge. We use concept exploration exploitation, commonly applied private organizations, analyze innovation. explain...

Abstract The purpose of this study is to contribute development collaborative governance theory by investigating whether and under what conditions a deliberative, consensus-oriented decision process among diverse stakeholders with conflicting interests can lead decisions that are satisfactory most the stakeholders. Using computational simulation, we found benefits contingent on such as type alternative initiates deliberation, level conflict how modify their preferences over time. Based these...

ABSTRACT Collaborative governance forums involving many diverse stakeholders sometimes use caucuses to facilitate deliberation of the complex issues they face. However, given paucity research on this topic, a better theoretical understanding conditions under which caucus structure is likely be effective warranted. For study, we developed computational model decision making in collaborative explore how can designed and managed enable egalitarian, consensus-based processes. The simulation...

The significant reforms being implemented in governance systems around the world reflect a broader transition of society from modern to new emerging era. This is framed terms shift mechanistic an ecological worldview, stimulated by number developments during twentieth century and last decade. In contrast orientation toward reductionism, prediction control, competition, worldview emphasizes interconnectedness, self‐organizing capacity, coevolutionary dynamics all natural systems. emergent...

Collaborative governance systems are likely to be populated by participants with a mix of social or public service motivations, including both proself and prosocial orientations. However, these variations in motivation have not been adequately considered the development theory regarding participants' interaction group performance collaborative governance. For this study, we develop an agent-based simulation model that incorporates insights from administration, psychology, behavioral...

Authentic dialogue is a key component of deliberative democracy. Public administration scholars and practitioners have focused on institutional settings for authentic dialogue, but they paid less attention to behavioral aspects, especially the emotional component, dialogue. The author proposes conceptual framework that highlights three dimensions its social‐behavioral foundation: epistemic, social, compassionate information processing motivation. article reviews discourse in public provides...

Purpose The purpose of this article is to provide an overview agent-based modeling as alternative method for public administration research. It focused on encouraging scholars come better understanding the method. Design/methodology/approach This performed a comprehensive review methodological issues relative modeling. Findings After reviewing current research themes in and nature modeling, we found that can help researchers advance theories by means sophisticated thought experiment which...

Using an agent-based model simulation, we find that the benefits of collaborative governance are contingent on such conditions as type alternative initiates deliberation, level conflict among stakeholders, and whether how stakeholders modify their preferences over time. Theoretical propositions for future theory building suggested.

This study explores how contracting out can contribute to the fiscal sustainability of public services. Together with economic advantage that lower production costs over government in house, theory informs offer an insulation efficient and effective service from political incentive problem principal. Hypotheses perspective are tested panel data on subnational facilities operated via user fees South Korea. As hypothesized, analysis results confirm a positive relationship net revenue...

In research on policy learning, target groups’ responses have been insufficiently investigated. This article aims to expand the theory of learning by focusing effect layering disparity in among groups, and its social consequences. Using case South Korea’s education policy, we show that pursue multiple goals over 25 years has resulted a complexly layered structure generated discriminatory different groups instability. We conclude renders implications for effective ethical learning.

E-government innovations, which accompany both technological and administrative systems innovation, have often been driven more by technical fads than social consensus. The structuration perspective on the adoption of technology has focused mainly organizational process, relatively ignoring society-wide that is relevant to public organizations. In this paper, we focus process an e-government particularly through enabled features are given meaning legal institutionalization use. Through case,...

Anticorruption policy transfer has been discussed for decades, but the influence of culture in target countries not received comparable attention sufficient to explain lack progress reducing corruption those countries. The conceptualization so far provided only a limited tool developing dynamic theory transfer. We propose bottomup model that takes into account cultural context first define as set values are consistent with each other also conflict. then develop revises traditional by...

According to group research, members often fail consider critical unique information in a decision-making setting because of their motivated information-processing behavior. Given the complexity experimental designs investigate problem, agent-based modeling can provide hypotheses that work as theoretical guidance for future research. The purpose this paper is identify human motivations and biases processing relevant process, develop conceptual framework computational model. In paper, we...

In spite of attempting to implement e-government innovations in public organizations for several decades, implementation has often not met the expectations citizens, legislatures, or organizations. One potential venue describing and explaining this failure is organizational learning framework. paper we explore a new concept called knowledge vacuum by expanding commonly applied concepts exploration exploitation literature. We first develop use computer simulation explain conceptual elements...
