Job advertisements signal employer value propositions (EVPs) that affect the interest in a job. Such job ads are designed by managers in public organizations. But do managers who design those job ads actually know which EVPs are more or less preferred by nursing recruits? We explore discrepancies between nursing recruits and managers in their relat...

Yet there is limited causal evidence on what works to recruit more healthcare workers, especially across an international labor market. In collaboration with Danish healthcare service providers, we randomly as...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are transforming public sector decision-making. However, most research conceptualizes AI as a form of specialized algorithmic decision support tool. In contrast, this study introduces the concept of human-AI ensembles, where humans and AI tackle the same tasks together, rather than specializing in certain p...

To motivate contributions to public goods, should policy makers employ financial incentives like taxes, fines, subsidies, and rewards? While these are widely considered as the classic policy approach, a substantial academic literature suggests the impact of financial incentives is not always positive; they can sometimes fail or even backfire. To te...

Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) are increasingly relied upon by policymakers as part of efforts to incorporate evidence into the policymaking process, a movement known as evidence-based policymaking, or EBPM. Testing possible policy interventions via RCTs before full rollout is commonly thought to be the gold standard of evidence in the EBPM proce...

Public sector recruitment is an urgent and prevailing challenge in both research and practice. Public employer branding is an important subject in the theoretical debate, but the mechanisms behind how certain signals of public employers affect individuals’ interest in a job are under‐researched. By bridging signaling theory, social identity theory,...
Article
Studies of the performance effects of performance-related pay (PRP) and other-regarding motivations such as public service motivation (PSM) show that organizational goals and ownership structure play a crucial role, but these determinants are under-researched. In narrowing this gap, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are relevant research objects. Howe...
