the relation between Public Manager compensation and members of parliament s salary across oecd countries
2017Co-Authors: Benati Igor, Mario CocciaAbstract:The compensation for central government senior Managers has been the focus of considerable attention from the Public, media and academia in recent years. In several countries, the average compensation of Public Managers, especially top level ones, has risen in a way that Public considers disproportionate and inequitable. In this context, there is a hot debate that the government senior Managers are overpaid. A growing literature has analysed the possible determinants of compensation in Public and private organizations. However, some political and institutional factors affecting Public Managers’ compensation are hardly known. Here, we show that the average compensation for central government senior Managers seems to be positively associated to average salary of members of parliament (MPs), standardized with GDP per capita of countries. In addition, results show that higher levels of compensation for central government senior Managers are mainly in countries based on Mixed Executive. We also show that higher Public Manager compensations are associated to countries with lower freedom of expression, freedom of association, free media, lower quality of contract enforcement, property rights and corruption control. These results can provide fruitful insights to support reforms and best practices that improve the efficiency of Public administration, mainly in latecomer countries.

what is the relation between Public Manager compensation and government effectiveness an explorative analysis with Public management implications
quaderni IRCrES, 2017Co-Authors: Mario Coccia, Igor BenatiAbstract:Public Managers play a central role in Public administration to support the overall efficiency with appropriate Public policies. In several countries, the Public considers the central government senior Managers overpaid. These executive compensations tend to be considered disproportionate and in-equitable in relation to the activity and results of Public Managers. A growing literature has analysed the possible determinants and consequences of higher levels of compensation in Public and private organizations. However, a main question unknown is how the levels of compensation of Public Managers are related to the capacity of the government to effectively formulate and implement sound policies. The findings of this study, based on OECD and World Bank data, show that the government effectiveness and regulatory quality of nations seem to be negatively associated to high levels of compensation for central government senior Manager, standardized with GDP per capita of countries. This study also shows that some possible factors of the findings can be due to low level of freedom of expression, rule of law and corruption control of some countries. These results provide fruitful insights to support best practices in Public administration based on salaries in-centiveoriented that may stimulate Public Managers’ work and enhance the national government effectiveness of countries.

private sector imprinting an examination of the impacts of private sector job experience on Public Manager s work attitudes
Public Administration Review, 2010Co-Authors: Craig Boardman, Barry Bozeman, Branco PonomariovAbstract:What are the attitudes of Public Managers who have had full-time private sector work experience? Public Managers with private sector work experience report diff erent perspectives when compared to their counterparts who have spent their entire careers in the Public sector. Th ough private sector work experience negatively correlates with job satisfaction, it only does so for the “new switcher,” whose last job was in the private sector. As careers advance, the negative impact seems to wane, leaving a Public sector workforce that, in part as a result of their private sector work experience, are relatively more intrinsically motivated and involved in their jobs. We conclude with discussion of implications for human resources management.

citizens versus the new Public Manager the problem of mutual empowerment
Administration & Society, 2000Co-Authors: Guy B Peters, Jon PierreAbstract:Many contemporary reforms of the Public sector advocate empowerment as a solution for many of the problems of governing. The difficulty arises when different groups—clients, lower-level officials, senior officials, and local communities—are all the subject of empowerment. Attempts to enhance the power of all these players in the policy process is argued to create the probability of political conflict, and this is demonstrated with a set of examples. Efforts at empowerment further may be the sources of substantial disillusionment and possible alienation when it becomes apparent that all groups cannot be empowered at once.

towards an empirical research agenda for Public value theory
Public Management Review, 2017Co-Authors: Jean Hartley, John Alford, Eva Knies, Scott DouglasAbstract:There is considerable scholarly writing about the theory and application of Public value concepts, but this article explores why there is, by contrast, so little empirical research on Public value. The article then goes on to provide a framework and a research agenda for inspiring and guiding new empirical research, based on three different conceptualizations of Public value, with researchers needing to be explicit about which approach they are using in order to avoid confusion. While case studies have been used as a research method, the authors suggest a much wider array of potential research methods (depending on the research question) covering both quantitative and qualitative approaches and with a wider variety of designs, including comparative analysis. It is suggested that empirical research is undertaken with a more diverse range of stakeholders of Public value, breaking out of the Public Manager-centric approach. This is an exciting agenda for research, though the paper warns that Public value may fade from view unless empirical research is undertaken to test, challenge and extend the scholarly contributions.
