Abstract What views do people have of public sector workers? Public workers are often portrayed negatively. It is unclear, however, to what extent such negative perceptions shared among different groups in society. Using a large representative survey the Netherlands, we study whether people's socioeconomic status related having more stereotypes about workers. Contrary expectations, education and income unrelated stereotypes. We find relation with subjective income: People low Moreover, work...

Abstract This study tests whether civil servant stereotypes affect how citizens experience public service delivery. Using a pre‐registered survey vignette experiment ( n = 1130), we activate (negative, positive, or control) and assess this affects subsequent perceptions evaluations of services. Results indicate that shape experiences, with the activation negative leading to lower levels satisfaction perceived performance, compared positive stereotype control. These findings emphasize can...

Red tape is one of the most often-mentioned nuisances citizens experience with government. However, there a dearth red research focusing on citizens. Therefore, primary goal this article to analyze effect citizen satisfaction. The secondary go beyond testing linear relationship between and satisfaction by examining individual factors that may moderate relationship. In order tape/satisfaction relationship, we have designed an experiment in which 179 subjects participated. Experiments are...

Public employees are stereotyped as lazy, inefficient, and slow. When made aware of such stereotypes, they may experience stereotype threat that impairs their task-performance. Across two pre-registered, large-scale between-subjects experiments (n1 = 1,543; n2 1,147), we found performance in terms task correctness, processing time, effort was unaffected by information negative public employee stereotypes. Our results do not indicate effects for This finding offers valuable theoretical...

We present an inductive, citizen-driven appraoch to identify stereotypes of public sector worekrs across the United States, Canada, Netherlands and South Korea (Study 1: n=918; Study 2: n=3,042). Contrary common negative portrayals, we idetify two positive countries — having job security serving society; one neutral/negative stereotype going home on time. Notably, Americans Canadians have a more favorable view workers than Dutch Koreans. This study opens avenues for exploring impact context...

Abstract Targeted transparency has become an essential tool for regulation. Through information disclosure, regulatory agencies try to get regulated companies improve their practices and comply with regulations. In the past, regulation was associated distrust in sectors. Recent research suggests that regulation, especially targeted transparency, may also increase citizen trust However, empirical evidence on whether as a undermines or decreases sector is lacking. We contribute this debate by...

Abstract This article tests the effect of accountability on negotiation outcomes in a face‐to‐face classroom experiment. Student participants were asked to form coalitions groups three. In treatment condition, negotiators held accountable by personal forum during formation coalition. control not accountable. Results show that leads lower group performance coalition negotiations. Accountability also reduced willingness include all “grand coalition.” Rather, reached agreement with subset...

Negotiating is a core activity in the public and private sector. Because of varying service motivation (PSM) between public- private-sector employees, we expect them to behave differently negotiations. Moreover, one-shot negotiation settings are often studied even as many real-world negotiations repeated exchanges. We apply linear goods game laboratory experiment test link PSM level cooperation by using sample graduate undergraduate students. The results show that high-PSM participants,...

Cross-sectoral strategic negotiation is a key challenge in PPPs. Based on framing and game theory, we investigate the effect of sectoral agency, affect, bargaining domain agents' behaviour PPP renegotiation scenario. Results confirm that public agents are more likely to bargain for satisfactory, 'good enough' contracts than private agents, who maximize their utility. This difference stronger loss vis-a-vis gain domain. These experimental findings advance our understanding psychological...

The number of studies on the relationship between public service motivation and ethics is increasing. Although research consistently finds evidence for a positive motivation–ethical intentions relationship, unethical behaviour remains scarce showcases mixed findings. Based insights from person–environment fit theory, we argue that sector in which an individual employed may help explain these We test this assumption by employing incentivized dice game among private workers ( n = 576). Using...

The Phileas developed by advanced public transportation systems (APTS) is a new concept for comfortable, high frequent passenger mass transport. Its unique safety requirements impose serious challenge the development of safe electronic guidance system. In particular, standard engineering methodologies applied improving existing railway refined to enable deriving correct and precise functional performance at all hierarchical levels Once these are derived, management methods procedures...

Les études sur la relation entre motivation de service public et l’éthique sont plus en nombreuses. Bien que les recherches mettent systématiquement évidence une positive intentions éthiques, comportements contraires à restent rares aboutissent des résultats mitigés. Sur base théorie l’adéquation personne-environnement, nous soutenons le secteur dans lequel personne est employée peut contribuer expliquer ces Nous testons cette hypothèse au moyen d’un jeu dés proposé travailleurs secteurs...
