A substantial number of federal employees have been teleworking due to its perceived benefits—time and location flexibility and better balance between family and work. Yet, managing teleworkers in public organizations can be challenging due to the added expenses associated with monitoring remote workers. Also, the unforeseen drawbacks of remote work may decrease teleworker satisfaction with telework programs. Drawing on insights from the political economy of hierarchy and institution theories, t

Whistleblowers play an important role in revealing unethical behaviors in government and making government more transparent and accountable to the public. Thus, the question of how to encourage government employees’ whistleblowing behaviors has been of great interest to both scholars and practitioners. What has received relatively little attention, however, is what factors influence public employees to become internal versus external whistleblowers. From an organization’s perspective, external w

This study examines what factors influence a local government’s decision to permit its employees to telework. Drawing on insights from contingency theory, this study investigates how external forces influence California local governments’ decisions regarding whether or not to permit telework for their employees. To examine this question, this article uses the 2010 International City/County Management Association survey data and the 2009 American Communities Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau as it

Research on trustee effectiveness has traditionally focused on board attributes like size and demographics, but networks are a better mechanism to consider the implications of boards for resource procurement. This research utilizes board of trustee interlocks from a sample of 523 nonprofit organizations that specialize in assisting the homeless. These organizations rely heavily on government and community funding, and interlock data from 1999 and 2003 are used to predict first-time grant acquisi

Against the backdrop of increasing scholarly interest in and social awareness of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) issues over the past few years, this study offers a systematic review of DEIA literature in the public administration field since the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. Based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) selection protocol, 109 articles related to DEIA issues were identified in public administration journals

Recognizing the importance of whistleblower protection, government has equipped itself with legal tools to protect whistleblowers. At the federal level, the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act (WPEA) of 2012 represents the most recent legislative action protecting whistleblowers. Currently, all 50 states have their own whistleblower protection laws. However, given the variations among states in statutory protections for whistleblowers, a need exists to examine important changes to state whi

Whistleblowers play a critical role in revealing organizational wrongdoing. Even after the passage of the 1989 Whistleblower Protection Act and the 2012 Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act, numerous studies find that public employees are still reluctant to report wrongdoing due to various forms of retaliation. Drawing on insights from a framework of predisposition and environmental perspectives, this study examines which type of factors—predisposed characteristics or organizational/environm

화소들 사이의 관계를 고려해 Texture 영상을 생성해 내는 것을 의미하는 Texture 영상화는 유용한 영상 분석 방법 중의 하나로 잘 알려져 있고, 대부분의 상업적인 원격 탐사 소프트웨어들은 GLCM이라는 Texture 분석 기능을 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는, GLCM 알고리즘에 기반한 Texture 영상화 프로그램이 구현되었고, 추가적으로 GLDV에 기반을 둔 Texture 영상화 모듈 프로그램을 제공한다. 본 프로그램에서는 Homogeneity, Dissimilarity, Energy, Entropy, Angular Second Moment(ASM), Contrast 등과 같은 GLCM/GLDV의 6가지 Texture 변수에 따라 각각 이에 해당하는 Texture 영상들을 생성해 낸다. GLCM/GLDV Texture 영상 생성에서는 방향 의존성을 고려해야 하는데, 이 프로그램에서는 기본적으로 동-서, 북동-남서, 북-남, 북서-남동 등의 기본적인 방향설정을 제공한다.

Merit principles have been fundamental to managing human resources for several decades in public administration. However, the meaning of merit and its relationship with other values needs more attention from the scholarship. This study investigates how three components of merit principles, i.e., tenure protection, merit-based hiring, and merit-based rewards, affect government employees in different ways by focusing on their willingness to report wrongdoings. This study finds from the Federal Emp

Turnover is an important career decision that influences both individual employees and their organizations. While human resource management scholars have long sought to understand critical components of a workplace where employees want to stay, ethics has become a primary factor of interest in public sector turnover intention studies only in recent years. This article contributes to this growing line of research by investigating if and how ethical work environment influences public employees’ tu

While public administration ethics literature has accumulated a significant amount of knowledge on how to promote public service culture steeped in ethics, the primary focus of the scholarly discussion has long been on the importance of developing ethics among public employees and in their organizations. Based on the premise that citizens are co-producers of the public service culture, this study turns attention to citizens and their commitment to ethical values when interacting with public empl

The past two decades have observed a growing research interest in understanding the impact of ethical organizational context on public employee work attitudes. This study contributes to this growing body of literature on the link between ethics and management by examining how public agencies’ level of ethical work climate (EWC) influences agency-level work motivation and turnover intention rate (measured separately as intention to transfer to another agency and intention to leave the federal gov

Previous studies focusing on civil service reform efforts at the sub-national level have illustrated how such initiatives may adversely affect employee perceptions of organizational conditions. Despite the insights provided by existing literature, little is known as to how federal employees perceive organizational justice amidst uncertain contextual and political conditions, and how the organizational justice perceptions influence their intentions to stay or leave their organizations. Using data

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, politicization of public health policy has loomed over the governmental response in the United States. The scope of politicization is underscored by instances of political pressures faced by public employees across state and local government. Observation of such instances prompts questions regarding the implications of highly politicized crisis on public personnel systems. Using systematic qualitative content analysis of data from syndicated news articles, this
