A Distinct Public Administration Ethics
Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, 1996Co-Authors: Robert P. GossAbstract:The Public Administration literature enumerates many values of attributes desirable in civil servants, and it proposes at least two paradigms or frameworks-a bureaucratic ethos and a democratic ethos-associated with such values. The writings also suggest the existence of a Public Administration ethic. The broader professional ethics literature has similarly posited that each profession has an ethics or morality of its own; in fact, the separatist thesis holds that such an acquired ethics is role-based and may take precedence over ordinary citizen ethics. This article reports the results of empirical research into a Public Administration ethic, by testing the importance of twelve Public Administration values among bureaucrats, elected officials, and voters.

the big questions of Public Administration education
Public Administration Review, 2001Co-Authors: Robert B DenhardtAbstract:Following Behn's observation that scientists in other fields understand the big questions of their disciplines and focus attention and their discussions on those questions, Public Administration scholars have attempted to identify the “big questions” in Public management and Public Administration. In this article, I suggest that scholars in Public Administration should also be attentive to the big questions of Public Administration education, those timeless and enduring concerns that speak to the basic perspectives that we bring to the educational process. Specifically, I identify four big questions: Do we seek to educate our students with respect to theory or to practice? Do we prepare students for their first jobs or for those to which they might aspire later? What are the appropriate delivery mechanisms for MPA courses and curricula? What personal commitments do we make as Public Administration educators? I argue that these big questions in Public Administration education are far more connected than we usually think, and by posing these questions in terms of processes of human development we can at least provide a framework through which we might develop more coherent answers to these big questions, answers that recognize and build on the diversity of our students and our faculty.

Behavioral Public Administration
Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Politics, 2020Co-Authors: Lars TummersAbstract:Behavioral Public Administration is an interdisciplinary research field that studies Public Administration topics by connecting insights from Public Administration with psychology and the behavioral sciences more broadly. Behavioral Public Administration scholars study important Public problems such as discrimination, corruption, and burnout. Behavioral Public Administration has various potential uses. First, behavioral Public Administration tests and extends theories and concepts from psychology in political-administrative settings. Second, it tests and extends the microfoundations of Public Administration theories and concepts. Third, behavioral Public Administration scholars develop new theories and concepts. Fourth, behavioral Public Administration can help in tackling practical Public problems. There are various future research suggestions for behavioral Public Administration. The field could move beyond one shot single studies and aim to build cumulative knowledge. This can be done among else via large scale collaborations and via replications. In addition, it is also beneficial if behavioral Public Administration scholars broaden their methodological toolkit to answer different kinds of research questions.

Behavioral Public Administration: Connecting Psychology with European Public Administration Research
The Palgrave Handbook of Public Administration and Management in Europe, 2017Co-Authors: Asmus Leth Olsen, Lars Tummers, Stephan Grimmelikhuijsen, Sebastian JilkeAbstract:Well-known Public Administration scholars have stressed the importance of psychological research for the study of Public Administration. Neighboring disciplines such as economics and political science have witnessed the emergence of the psychology-informed subfields of behavioral economics and political psychology. Along the same lines, an emerging behavioral Public Administration is an approach characterized by the interdisciplinary analysis of Public Administration from the micro-perspective of individual behavior and attitudes by drawing upon recent advances in our understanding of the underlying psychology and behavior of individuals and groups. In this chapter we connect past calls for a behavioral Public Administration with current research in Public Administration, and outline a path for future integration of Public Administration and psychology in European Public Administration.

Behavioral Public Administration: Combining Insights from Public Administration and Psychology
Public Administration Review, 2016Co-Authors: Stephan Grimmelikhuijsen, Sebastian Jilke, Asmus Leth Olsen, Lars TummersAbstract:Behavioral Public Administration is the analysis of Public Administration from the micro-perspective of individual behavior and attitudes by drawing upon insights from psychology on behavior of individuals and groups. We discuss how scholars in Public Administration currently draw on theories and methods from psychology, and related fields, and point to research in Public Administration that could benefit from further integration. An analysis of Public Administration topics through a psychological lens can be useful to confirm, nuance or extend classical Public Administration theories. As such, behavioral Public Administration complements traditional Public Administration. Furthermore, it could be a two-way street for psychologists who want to test the external validity of their theories in a political-administrative setting. Finally, we propose four principles to narrow the gap between Public Administration and psychology.

globalization and Public Administration
Public Administration Review, 1999Co-Authors: Ali FarazmandAbstract:This article discusses globalization and its implications for Public Administration. Using a political economy approach, an analysis is made of the different meanings and perspectives of globalization, of the causes and consequences of globalization, and of the underpinnings or constitutive elements of globalization, a phenomenon that is all-embracing with transworld and for-reaching implications for society, governance, and Public Administration. Causes of globalization are discussed, such as the economic factors of surplus accumulation, corporate reorganization, shift of corporate power structure, global money and financialization, global state and Administration, domestic decline, rising human expectations, innovations, and global supranational organizations such as the United Nations. Consequences of globalization are discussed, including the positive impact such as continuity and persistence of the state and Public Administration, but also its negative consequences such as threat to democracy and community, increasing corruption, and elite empowerment. Then a discussion is made of the converging, hegemonic global order with a question of possible counterohegemonic model that might alter the dominant world order. Finally, the article presents a number of significant implications--positive and negative--for Public Administration as a theory and practice, from both American and comparative/international perspectives. Introduction As the new millennium approaches, a new civilization is dawning. The qualitative changes of this civilization have been the subject of many studies. For example, Huntington (1996) speaks of the "clash of civilizations," Fukuyama (1992) predicts "the end of history and man," and Korbin (1996) indicates a "return back to medievalism." The hallmark of this change is the process of globalization, through which worldwide integration and transcendence take place, evoking at least two different intellectual responses. On one hand there are those who argue that the growth of transnational corporations, in particular because of their "state-indifferent" nature, and the spread of global capitalism have made state irrelevant or even obsolescent (Ball, 1967; Naisbitt, 1994; Ohame, 1995). Some think of it as even the end of work (Rifkin, 1975) and of Public Administration (Stever, 1988). Others believe that global capitalism has led to the generation of suprastate governing agencies that are supplementing, if not supplanting, the territorial nation-states (Picciotto, 1989; Cox, 1993; Korten, 1995). Still others have suggested that this also has eroded the sense of community and urban power structure (Mele, 1996; Knox, 1997; Korten, 1995), causing the loss of urban jobs (Wilson, 1996). They also warn that the merging of the supranational governance agencies has deepened the dependency of less developed countries, exacerbated their fiscal crises, and created a serious problem of governability in those nations (Kregel, 1998). On the other hand, some Public administrators and Public-policy analysts have predicted that global corporations will create a world order beyond nation-states (Reich, 1991), that is, a "global village" (Garcia-Zamor and Khator, 1994), a "world government" with "global management" (Wilson, 1994). Some theorists have even attempted to develop a universal, global theory of Public Administration (Caiden, 1994). Others have vocally refuted the idea of the end of the state and have argued for the persistence of the nation-states with all the concomitant implications for Public Administration (Caiden, 1994; Heady, 1996; Scholte 1997). Hirst and Thompson (1996), Zysman (1996), and Boyer and Drache (1996) have argued that globalization has been exaggerated and that states remain strong in the crucial functions of governance. Some realists in the international relations tradition have argued that "de facto [state] sovereignty has been strengthened rather than weakened" (Krasner 1993, 318). …
