The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has presented an unprecedented public health crisis across the globe. Governments have developed different approaches to tackle the complex and intractable challenge, showing variations in their effectiveness and results. South Korea has achieved exceptional performance thus far: It has flattened the curve of new infections and brought the outbreak under control without imposing forceful measures such as lockdowns and travel ban. This commentar

Abstract Accountability in collaborative governance comprises a tangled web of vertical and horizontal accountability relationships. Although different accountability mechanisms are apparently complementary, they also clash with each other, producing serious accountability tensions. This study explores how actors in collaborative governance experience and manage conflicting accountability demands in the context of a Korean interorganizational network. Using qualitative data based on in-depth int

BIM in the FM industry has significant impact on the acceleration of design and construction phases of equal importance. However, most of the facility managers are still managing the maintenance and operations of facilities by using paper-based processes that include drawings and spreadsheets. Therefore, we propose the conceptual BIM acceptance model in FM for understanding why people accept or reject BIM. The objective is to understand the key factors affecting the acceptance of BIM by facility

Abstract Despite the complexities involved around the accountability mechanisms of collaborative governance, little is known about how to assess accountability at the network level and disentangle possible accountability deficits. This study first explicates the nature of collaborative governance accountability in contrast to accountability in traditional public administration and market-based governance. The analysis shows how collaborative governance accountability is distinctive: (a) accounta

This study explores the perceived legitimacy of collaborative governance from a citizens’ perspective. We use a preregistered online survey experiment to test the effect of three factors – representation, performance information, and issue complexity – on the perceived legitimacy of a collaboration. Findings show that representation and positive performance information influence citizens’ perceptions of collaborative governance legitimacy, while issue complexity has little impact. Additionally,

Co-production has been embraced as a robust strategy to improve service quality and create public value. Despite growing interest in citizens’ motivations to engage in co-production, there remain some major gaps in the literature. This study proposes a theoretical framework of factors that influence co-production and offers experimental evidence as to the effects of those factors from an online survey experiment with a sample of 1,297 Koreans. The findings show that public service motivation, dr

© 2020 The Korean Association for Public Administration.Learning is imperative in government responses to crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examines the South Korean and United States governments responses to COVID-19 from a comparative perspective. The analysis focuses on crisis learning conducted before and during the COVID-19 outbreak, using the conceptual categories of intercrisis/intracrisis learning and single-/double-loop learning. The findings suggest that double-loop, interc

The Korean domestic market is focused on the introduction of BIM (Building Information Modeling) owing to an influx of investment due to increased interest and mandatory application of BIM. However, the rate of BIM introduction is high, while BIM user proficiency is low. Against these problems, the authors proposed an acceptance model for BIM in construction organizations in 2012. As the number of BIM application cases increases and the number of BIM-trained users increases as time goes on, BIM

남성과 여성의 성역할에 대한 정형이 사회문화적인 변화에 따라 모호해지면서 광고가 이러한 변화를 어떠한 방식으로 반영하고 있는지를 알아보기 위해 광고에 재현된 남성과 여성의 성역할 표상 방식을 살피고 그 속에 내재된 이데올로기를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 가정을 주된 배경으로 하는 전기밥솥 제품 광고를 시기별로 선정하여 남녀의 성역할 이데올로기를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 전기밥솥 광고물에서는 남성 의존적이고 가정적인 여성상에서 주체적이고 능동적인 여성상으로의 점진적인 변화가 발견되었다. 그러나 이러한 변화에도 불구하고 수동적, 의존적인 전통적 여성상이 대부분의 광고에 잔존하고 있음을 발견하였다. 전기밥솥 광고 속 남성에 대한 표상은 시대가 변화함에 따라 주도적이고 중심적인 역할의 남성상에서 탈권위적이고 가정적인 남성상으로 변화하는 양상을 보였다. 그러나 이러한 남성과 여성의 성역할에 대한 정형적 표상의 변화는 전기밥솥 광고물이 내포하는 이데올로기적 함의에는 큰 영향을 미치지 못했다. 시대

With a focus on different aspects of PMIS in construction projects, various sets of critical success factors (CSFs) have been suggested in the literature such as IS Success Model by various researchers. It is crucial to explore the relative importance and groupings of these factors. This paper aims to identify CSFs associated with Project Management Information System (PMIS) in construction projects, and explore their ranking and underlying relationship. CSFs for PMIS identified through a litera

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought critical changes to job demands and resources, which in turn affect employee motivation and outcomes. This study explores how COVID-19–induced work intensity and COVID-19–related organizational support influence public service motivation (PSM) and job satisfaction. Using survey data from a nationally representative sample of 1,430 South Korean central government employees collected during the pandemic (May–June 2020), we find that COVID-19–induced work intensity

This study examines citizens’ attribution of blame for a failure of public-private partnerships (PPPs) using a survey experiment with a sample of more than 1500 Americans. We find that when service delivery fails, citizens tend to attribute less blame to public actors if the service is delivered by a PPP rather than solely by the government. Additionally, introducing citizen participation in service delivery design reduces the blame assigned to the government in direct service provision, but thi

In recent years, public service delivery models have changed to include non-state actors and cross-sector collaboration as service providers. Using a survey experiment, we investigate if service providers’ sector (including single-sector and cross-sector providers) and their performance information shape public perceptions of their legitimacy. We find that cross-sector collaboration does not produce legitimacy gains over traditional public service provision. While providers’ sector has overall l

The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction, and analyze the effect of social support on this relationship. In particular, this study analyzes the effects of three types of job stress – role overload, role ambiguity and bad physical environment – and two sources of social support – supervisor and coworker support. Regression analysis was performed using data from a survey of 619 police officers in Korea. The findings from the analysis are as
