Questions related to Public Administration
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainability is a critical driver of organizational and societal progress in the 21st century. As businesses and public institutions face mounting pressure to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, leadership, organizational change, and policy implementation play a pivotal role in advancing sustainability initiatives. The manner in which leaders facilitate change in corporate governance and public administration directly influences the adoption of green policies, the management of regulatory challenges, and the promotion of sustainability-driven innovation.
This Special Issue uniquely examines how green leadership and change management drive systemic change across diverse governance systems, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of leadership, sustainability, and organizational transformation. We seek to bridge theory and practice, providing actionable insights for leaders, managers, and policymakers while advancing scholarly discourse in this critical area.
We invite scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to contribute original research articles that address the following sub-themes and key questions, including but not limited to the following:
- Theoretical and empirical advancements in green leadership and sustainable change management.
- The role of ESG principles in shaping corporate and public-sector sustainability strategies.
- Organizational change processes and leadership challenges in adopting green initiatives.
- Public administration and policy implementation in enforcing sustainability regulations.
- Digital transformation and technology-enabled sustainability solutions.
- Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and stakeholder engagement in sustainability.
- The impact of green governance frameworks on organizational and institutional transformation.
- Case studies of successful sustainability initiatives across industries and public institutions.
We particularly encourage comparative perspectives, such as the following:
- Studies comparing sustainability policies across regions.
- Analyses of green initiatives in multinational corporations versus small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
- Cross-sectoral comparisons between corporate and public-sector approaches to sustainability.
Expected Outcomes
This Special Issue aims to provide interdisciplinary insights that will achieve the following:
- Guide organizations and policymakers in fostering a culture of sustainability.
- Offer strategies to overcome resistance to green transformation.
- Embed responsible leadership practices in both business and public administration. By bridging theory and practice, we seek to equip stakeholders with actionable strategies for sustainable transformation while contributing to the advancement of green leadership and change management research.

Hello, fellow researchers and professionals in the field.
I'm carrying out a study on risk management in Brazilian federal authorities and we know that it's a complex process in public administration, which still doesn't have a strong and consolidated culture on the subject, and I'd like to know what the best practices and methodologies are that are currently being applied. How can strategic risk management be implemented to mitigate the problems faced by federal authorities? Which frameworks or standards are most commonly used? In addition, I would like to understand how municipalities are dealing with the risk culture within their organizations and what challenges they have faced in implementing effective risk management. Thanks in advance for any insight or references you can share!
How and to what extent do corruption and a lack of transparency in public life impede economic and social development, lead to the waste of public funds and erode public trust?
There are many indications that corruption and a lack of transparency in public life are serious problems that hinder economic and social development, lead to the waste of public funds and erode social trust. Corruption, i.e. the abuse of public power for private gain, occurs at various levels of government and affects both the public and private sectors. Lack of transparency, i.e. the concealment of information on decisions made and public funds spent, encourages corruption and hinders public scrutiny. An effective solution to this problem requires strengthening state institutions, enforcing the law, promoting transparency in public life and fighting corruption at all levels. Research plays an important role in solving this problem by providing the knowledge and analysis necessary to develop effective strategies.

Does the applied creative accounting in the design and implementation of the central, financial state budget, government-run public finances of the state, the formation of the level of tax revenues to the state budget and expenditures, the generation of a certain level of debt of the system of public finances of the state generate the occurrence of a financial crisis in the future in terms of the system of public finances of the state?
In the country where I operate according to the content of Article 219 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, the state budget should be implemented in accordance with the Budget Law and the Budget Law also in accordance with the Constitution. However, in Poland, a kind of second, additional, alternative “state budget” based on additional expenditures realized with printed money has been in operation for several years. This additional “state budget” functioning in addition to the official state budget is in fact not a budget at all, but is made up of financial special purpose funds specially created for this purpose in the Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego and the Polish Development Fund, which are fed with printed money. The mechanism of the aforementioned money printing, i.e. the national currency PLN, was used in Poland on a historically exceptional scale for the first time during the Covid-19 pandemic. the government in Poland at the time took advantage of the confusion that arose during the Covid-19 pandemic in the financial markets, including the capital markets, to introduce, on the one hand, lockdowns deepening the recession of the economy and financial support programs for the economy based on the large amount of printed money introduced into the economy. The mechanism of the aforementioned money printing, i.e. the national PLN currency, was borrowed from other countries that used this solution during previous deep economic and/or financial crises. For example, during the global financial crisis of 2008, this mechanism was used on a large scale in some countries, but then it was a matter of financial support of the banking system with money coming from the state's public finance system in order to maintain the liquidity of commercial and investment banks, i.e. institutions that were largely responsible for causing the said financial crisis. In Poland, on the other hand, during the pandemic economic crisis of 2020, the procedure of introducing a large amount of printed money into the economy was not aimed at supporting the banking system, which was in a good situation and in the following years 2021-2024 recorded record profits, nor was it aimed at financially supporting the implementation of pro-development investment projects, in which new technologies, etc. would be implemented. The printed, anti-crisis money was given to a large number of companies and enterprises operating in various sectors of the economy in the form of subsidies to pay fixed costs and subsidies to employees' salaries on the condition that business activity was maintained despite the lockdowns and periods of national quarantine that had been introduced, and on the condition that the state of employment was maintained despite the real significant reduction in the scale of business activity. The idea was that the official level of employment shown by the Central Statistical Office would not fall and the level of unemployment would not rise in the business sector. The result of this unconstitutional procedure was that the government generated one of the highest inflation rates that occurred in Poland compared to Europe in the years 2021-2023. The mechanism of the aforementioned money printing, i.e. the national currency PLN, consisted in Poland in that the central bank, i.e. the National Bank of Poland, indirectly bought certain issues of rolled-up treasury bonds, and in this way more than 300 billion PLN of additional money was introduced into the economy without coverage in manufactured products and services. These additional series of Treasury bonds were transferred to the special purpose funds of the Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego and the Polish Development Fund. The central bank then redeemed them, and in this way the printed money was introduced into the aforementioned special purpose funds. The earmarked funds of the Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego and the Polish Development Fund were excluded from the official state budget, and in this way the government implemented a kind of creative accounting for the state's public finance system.
The key issues of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy and financial markets are described in my article below:
IMPACT OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC (COVID-19) ON FINANCIAL MARKETS AND THE ECONOMY
I have described some of the issues of the above in the following articles:
IMPACT OF THE SARS-COV-2 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC (COVID-19) ON GLOBALIZATION PROCESSES
POLAND'S 2022 ENERGY CRISIS AS A RESULT OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND YEARS OF NEGLECT TO CARRY OUT A GREEN TRANSFORMATION OF THE ENERGY SECTOR
I described the key issues of anti-crisis state interventionism in my article below:
Anti-crisis state intervention and created in media images of global financial crisis
Analysis of the effects of post-2008 anti-crisis mild monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Bank and the European Central Bank
I invite you to familiarize yourself with the issues described in the above-mentioned publications, as well as to scientific cooperation in these issues.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scholars and researchers:
Does the applied creative accounting in the design and implementation of the central financial state budget, the government-run public finances of the state, the formation of the level of tax revenues to the state budget and expenditures, the generation of a certain level of debt of the system of public finances of the state generate the occurrence of a financial crisis in the future in the system of public finances of the state?

Do local government officials, including mayors and city presidents, act ethically if they treat local government newspapers that are published in print form and/or in electronic form on a website by local government publications financed from the state's public finance system or from the local government budget as a propaganda tube of their person?
It happens more than once that local government officials, including mayors and city presidents of local government newspapers that are published in print form and/or in electronic form on a website by local government publishing houses financed from the state's public finance system or from the local government budget treat them as a propaganda tube of their person. In your opinion, is this ethical, socially responsible and in line with citizens' expectations? In this regard, in some countries there has been a discussion for years whether this kind of local media is needed since it is mainly used by local government authorities to promote themselves in the context of the next local elections. This kind of discussion has been going on for many years in the public debate in the country where I operate. The basis of the consideration is the issue of spending money from the state's public finance system to carry out such propaganda publishing activities of local government units. In addition, it has happened more than once that local government authorities have obtained additional funds from the state's public finance system to carry out the digitization and Internetization of the publishing process of local government journals published. However, during this process, the issue of objectivity and journalistic integrity of the information presented in these magazines was not improved, and still transferred to the Internet, local government magazines are used as an instrument of political marketing, where local government authorities promote themselves, present their achievements only in positive aspects with not allowing a word of criticism, discussion, polemics coming from the local community.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Do local government officials, including mayors and city presidents, act ethically if local government newspapers, which are published in print form and/or in electronic form on the website by local government publications financed from the state's public finance system or from the local government budget, treat them as a propaganda tube for their person?
Are local government officials acting ethically if they treat local government newspapers as a propaganda tube of their person?

Hello everyone,
We seek to study public policies, particularly in OCDE countries, that relate to a specific theme in education. We are interested in understanding if there is a methodology that would facilitate the rigorous and exhaustive implementation of such a survey.
Such inquiry strategies may be pertinent to professionals in political science, public administration, and related disciplines. I would greatly appreciate your insights and expertise on this matter.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Best regards,
FM
Example: Africa is a label for a continent. It has no overall leader or rulership, it is devided into countries. But now we are being told Africa is trying to sue Israel. But who is Africa? If "they" win, who gets the reward and how will it be fairly distributed around the continent of Africa? Or will only some people claim to have been successful in taking a country to court, and use it to show off against other African nations? I thought in order for a continent to take a country to courts, it would have to gather the signatures of every leader of each African country? If not, how does it work?
On the other side, there's Israel, the whole country's label. But within Israel are some people doing some things whilst others are not. Why should some people of Isreal get a reputation for genocide when it was just some other people using the Isreal label? How would others do trade and judge them in the future? It's not precise enough.
I don't think it is a legal move for a continent to sue a country and I'm struggling to see how this process is allowed, who personally will gain a reward from this, who will lose what etc?
It seems like an unfair trial with unfair uses of public legal systems both locally and globally. All because of labeling again. Like "them/they" issues.
Can anyone explain this process or direct me to further information I could read?
Sometimes if someone is interesting enough, then that individual deserves the attention sought.

Hi, I am doing my Ph.D. and searching recent topics in the areas of Public Administration.
What can a populist social and fiscal policy based on subsidies and handouts lead to with the money of the public finance system in a situation of economic downturn, falling state budget revenues and growing indebtedness of the public finance system?
What can the ever-increasing subsidy- and welfare-based populist social policy and the soft fiscal policy with money from the state's financial system lead to through increased public debt and the printing of national money?
The political objective of the socio-economic policies implemented in this way, including social, budgetary and fiscal policies, is the plan to win the next parliamentary elections by the political party currently holding the reins of power. However, the economic consequences and the impact on the state's finances in the years ahead could be seriously negative.
Such socio-economic policies may contribute to continued high levels of inflation in the coming months.
What other negative effects could arise from such socio-economic policies in the future?
What can the ever-increasing populist social policy based on government subsidies and handouts and the soft fiscal policy implemented with the money of the state financial system, which is raised through the increase of public debt and the printing of national money, lead to?
What is your opinion on this topic?

In my research I use resilience as a sub-criteria of Responsiveness, so I need answers to series of questions:
How does a developed administrative capacity contribute to the Public Procurement System's (PPS) resilience?
Adaptability is the second sub-criteria and the question is:
How does assessment contribute to the adaptation of the continuous changing context of the Romanian Public Procurement System ?
(Responsiveness, Responsibility, Receptivity, and Transparency are four important criteria against which I evaluate the governance of innovation in Romanian PPS.
I am a second year PhD student within the field of public administration. Considering that I have to select the subject of my PhD thesis; can somebody offer assistance me or direct me in choosing a proposal subject?
In order to tackle complex challenges we need collaboration across sectors (between state and society) as well as between ministries and administrative levels (e.g. often innovative initiatives are local, but the federal level has littles possibilities to empower their creativity and learn from them). Often gov.labs impact just one ministry or administrative level, and has no mandate to transform the political system as such. Do you know of any successful gov.lab in this regard?
Thanks and best wishes, Patrizia Nanz
I want to explore the role of leadership in the strategic alignment of relevant units in a corporate public institution for a doctorate reaearch. Any suggestions please.
This question relates to assessing of scientific interest in researching changes in Ukrainian public administration framework during the ongoing martial status.
In particular, I'm looking for co-authors who are interested in the topic. Potentially, the research may be devoted to analyse of the following issues:
- public administration legal framework during martial status in Ukraine;
- changes in the legal status of public authorities at national and local level;
- changes in status of local communities during martial status in Ukraine;
- the role and functions of civil society organizations and volunteers during the establishment of martial status.
If you are interested in the above topic or may propose your ideas please provide your opinion.
Good evening,
I am currently finishing my master thesis about the blurring boundaries of tasks and responsibilities between police and military personnel worldwide but also specifically Belgium. This is a master thesis in line of my master's degree at the university of Ghent, where I will be graduating in the study Public administration and management. If there are any articles available and you would like to share these with me to help with the research, feel free to do so. It will help me out immensely.
Kindest regards,

I need a brief explanation of what should be the focus of the study today in the discipline Public Administration.
I have a PhD in Public Administration and my PhD thesis is in continuing medical education. My current research interests include patterns and policy-making. If you need to take part in research projects in this area, I am ready
The public administration is the real institution to provide service to the country's population, but planners face difficulty in analyzing the internal and external environment to identify opportunities, threats, strengths and weaknesses, to build a strategic plan that can meet the needs of the people.
So, how can we analyze the internal and external environment of the public administration institution in the country from your point of view?
Need to understand the challenges facing the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA)/ Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in the public administration and develop strategies, which will assist the SCOPA/PAC in managing the challenges
Locally operating business entities should be promoted by chambers of commerce.
Entrepreneurship and innovation should be supported by central and local government units of public administration.
In addition, investment funds should co-finance innovative investment projects characterized by a high level of innovation.
However, in the education system, the issue of promoting local entrepreneurship of innovation may be taken into account, indicating the high level of significance of this issue for the economic development of the local self-government economy as well as in the context of the national economy.
In view of the above, the current question is: How to support and activate innovation and entrepreneurship?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

I would be grateful if anybody could point me to published research discussing the role of public administrations in freight transport planning/policy and what data they collect and use to base their policy upon, especially if such data is from real-time systems (perhaps once summarised). Please note that my interest is for intercity freight transport particularly.
Very many thanks!

Hi I am doing my PhD and searching possible hot recent topics in areas of Management & Public Administration.
Thank you.
The private sector offering services, private goods usually implements this process more economically in terms of costs and expectations of customers compared to the offer of the public sector. In order to increase this efficiency, creation and provision of public goods to consumers is often ordered by the state sector, ie by central state administration institutions and or by local government units and commissioned to be produced for private sector enterprises through organized tenders. These tenders are a kind of competitions, during which the best offers are selected, taking into account the criterion of economic effectiveness of the delivery of certain goods, costs and time of completion and the quality of delivered public goods. The investment programs of public-private partnerships are being developed in the scope of the creation and supply of public goods that require large financial outlays, such as in the situation of construction of large power plants, eg nuclear power plants.
In view of the above, the current question is: How to increase the efficiency of state delivery of public goods?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

What is the potential of blockchain technologies (DLT) in the field of e-government, and in particular for procedures for recognition of credentials? If so, what are the specific hurdles in implementing a DLT-based solution in the context of e-administration at transnational level? I recently published a research article on blockchain, e-government and recognition which you can access and download at: (published by Elsevier, in Research in Globalization).
The fact is that beyond bitcoins and some Fintech applications, DLT / BC has led to encouraging use cases in some transnational administrative procedures, e.g. recognition of qualified exporters in the context of customs procedures, or in the field of government procurement bids. But for now that's about it. Are there other example of transnational administrative procedures where BC use cases could be developed? In my article I examine what are the opportunities and challenges of using the DLT /BC in the context of official recognition of foreign diplomas (diplomas earned abroad) by governments. Now I wish to ask the views on that from the RG community of researchers.
Can you recommend journals in economics, management, public administration that are indexed in at least 3 of the following databases: Scopus, EBSCO, EconLit, REPEC, DOAJ, Cabells, JSTOR, Science Direct, SpringerLink, ProQuest, INFOSCI?
Is crowdsourcing a key factor in improving public administration efficiency?
My thesis title is- Enhancing Social Ecological Resilience of the fishing communities through Co-management- Hilsa fishery as a case study of Bangladesh.One of my aim is to find out the power relations or dynamics by using the political ecology as a framework to analyze power relations of different stakeholders.I am looking for articles or empirical research that analyzed power relation by using the Political ecology framework.Thanks for your help.

It is a very common belief. It is not clear HOW and WHY people acquire this unjustified belief. As a tentative scientific discipline, it is probably better than astrology but hardly compares to theoretical physics.

Consider the following voluntary scheme. There would be some eligibility requirements that would be consistent with the principles of health promotion. Only certain target groups would qualify.
You sign up and for walking 10,000 steps per day, you get a certain amount of money deposited directly to your cell phone. In principle, and in theory, what is wrong with this? In practice, people could cheat and so on but with the development of new technologies, it would be much more difficult to cheat so this disadvantage can be minimized. The funds for this scheme could come from a public-private partnership.
in addition to the list of methods, I would like to understand major differences between research methods in Public Administration.
Most parents are very competitive, and instill the same spirit in their children. My empirically testable conjecture (hypothesis?) is that this leads to greater inequality in society.
There are several positions that one could take. First, one could say that schools and teachers are in the business of education, and dealing with inequality is just not part of the job description.
Second, one could argue that schools and teachers should contribute to social justice, and to the extent that inequality in society is attributable to the unjust actions of schools and teachers, then schools and teachers should try to minimize the negative impacts of inequality.
I am interested in studies focused on the implementation of Electronic
Document Management Systems (EDMS) in government organizations.
What does it even mean? Are you suffering from Empathy Deficit Disorder (EDD)?
In business, public administration and other spheres of social life it is necessary to follow adaptability to a certain extent. But innovativeness is a much desired option for development too. How to avoid contradicting both of them?
Distinguished colleagues,

Does anybody know of any specific policy initiatives that a country has adopted that has been successful in moving work in the informal economy into the formal economy?
I am looking for 'good practice' policy initiatives that might be transferable from one country and could be implemented more broadly. These might be deterrence initiatives that increase the penalties or improve the risks of detection (e.g., initiatives to improve workplace inspections, improve data mining to identify the informal economy).
They might also be incentive measures that encourage the shift from the informal to the formal economy. These might be supply-side initiatives that make it beneficial and easier to operate in the formal economy (e.g., simpler registration, tax incentives). They might also be demand-side initiatives that encourage consumers/purchasers to buy from the formal economy (e.g., service vouchers, tax incentives).
Finally, they might involve awareness raising and education campaigns to persuade people of the benefits or working in the formal economy or costs of working in the informal economy. Or they might be initiatives that seek to improve the structural systemic drivers that lead to the prevalence of the informal economy (e.g., reducing corruption, modernizing governance).
Ideally, I am looking for specific concrete policy initiatives that have been evaluated to assess their impact.
In his experience, which political systems are more prone to fraud within the public administration as a state activity. Please back up your reasons. All opinions will be well received. Thank you.
I would like to know what are the methods used in your country to detect and study financial fraud activities in public administration management. Thanks for your opinion.

Green Governance came from sustainable development.
The Philosophy of Public Administration.
Philosophy looks in a rational way at aspects such as knowledge (epistemology), existence (metaphysics), methodology (logic and language), values (ethics) and beauty (aesthetics) of a phenomenon. Here we look at Public Administration (PA).
The first question is: What is Public Administration (epistemology)? Public Administration is the study of government that uses bureaucracy as its tool of operation. Bureaucracy is based on laws and regulations (Max Weber) and the bureaucrats follow these laws. The goal of government is to serve the public (public service based on public interest) where everybody is equal under the law. The aspect of good governance is important. These laws are decided upon by the political system that uses democracy as its guiding principle or tool of operation. PA works always in the tandem democracy-bureaucracy, where democracy takes the lead and bureaucracy follows. Changes always take place in this form.
In which form do we find bureaucracy and its properties (metaphysics)? Two main properties of bureaucracy are governing based on the law and the public interest. Bureaucratic systems are quite complex and are guided by systems dynamic laws: the general system theory (a system consist of different internal subsystems and external systems) and it is autopoietic (the system adheres mainly to its internal working). The external system here is the political system, but apart from that it doesn't answer to other external systems. Apart from the national and local government, we find bureaucracies in international organizations such as the UN and NGO's and because of their growing complexities, business organizations/forms can become bureaucratic too and object of study for PA.
In its methodological approach Public Administration is a multi- and interdisciplinary science. That means it uses knowledge from different disciplines (e.g. economy, law, sociology, psychology, technology) as its approach to solve problems. And because it is based on objective laws and regulations and the service to the public, it is more an empirical based science comparable to medicine. Theory building is different, there is a struggle whether to apply more inductive or deductive methods or verification than falsification. It is a young study and it is wresting with its paradigms.
What is the beauty of PA (aesthetics) and what is it good for (ethics)? In the public discussion, government is often seen in a pejorative way (negative): e.g. waste of resources, big government, slow decision making, corruption, spying on it own citizens. And at the positive side, except from the aspect of good governance, government is also considered good (Paul du Gay: In Praise of Bureaucracy, 2002). According to Adam Smith government has to promote happiness of the public as its sole use and ends (good government). Governmental organizations comply to the public will through the principles of democracy used by the political system. And there are certain duties only government has the power to execute. These beautiful and positive aspects of government objects of study of PA.
I mainly use the complexity of the bureaucratic system to make analysis and tend to look things interdisciplinary from a helicopter view.
Two books on the philosophy of PA:
Edoardo Engaro (2017). Philosophy and Public Administration. Massachusetts: Elger Publishing.
JSH Gildenhuys (2004). Philosophy of Public Administration. Stellenbosch: Sun Press.
In the post-colonial state today we still find universities with predominantly eurocentric teachings and curricula. Various policy ideas,theories of governance and public management has not led to an improvement of public management in Africa. Therefore there was a call 2015 for decolonised education in South Africa! Part of the movement is the importance that our disciplines should also shift to keep up with the transformation agenda.
Therefore in an attempt to increase university capacity through decolonisation programmes and projects... A type of "by Africa for Africa" knowledge production... Are there any ideas that can assist in building capacity..?
Can you provide any cases of failure in post-colonial state because of western emposed governance structure (theory)?
Which African authors/philosophers speak about governance and Public Management in the post-colonial state?
What is the current state of Public Administration, in the African context?
Thank you
Public administrations have been subjected for decades to intense pressures aimed at improving their performance (budget deficits), but at the same time, they also have the obligation to better serve the needs of citizens and create public value in increasingly digital environments. Based in your experience, I would like to know your opinions to know if you have seen an improvement both in terms of effectiveness and efficiency of public services in your countries. Thanks in advance for your answers.
My dependent variable is performance of safety task by Health and safety officer ( where NO= 0 is non performance and Yes= 1= performance making variable binary )

In most Mexican cities, public administrations use street furniture as propaganda, painting with the color of their political party every change of government. In terms of urban landscape, these behaviors do not create conditions of quality of public space, identity and attachment to the place by the inhabitants
So there is this 'two communities' theory / metaphor arguing that academics and policy makers are from separate communities, with distinct languages, values, and reward system, and that leads to limited knowledge use (Caplan 1979, Dunn 1980).
Although criticized by many (e.g. Bogenschneider and Corbett 2010, Jacobson 2007) it still in my opinion is a good story / starting point for analyzing determinants / context of knowledge use in public administration.
I wonder if you could point me to some other examples of alternative theories / metaphors that could serve the same purpose. Let me specify that I'm not asking for sources enlisting factors / determinants of knowledge / evaluation use or models consisting - again - of factors, but something more like a story / perspective (sth like two communities:)

Digitalization in public administration and not least urban planning is gaining momentum. More and more data gets available and tools and methods advance and get digitized. I was wondering if digitalization (or the digital transformation) will impact urban planning practice in the sense that we will focus more and more on details, while loosing a sense for the big picture. But there could be also other concerns like for example a standardization (there are pros and cons for that of course) or a loss of creativity (while probably enabling new ways of creativity).
Has anybody done research on how planning practice changes due to digitalization?

There are studies and reports (WCO, OECD etc) regarding this question. Can you please suggest or share publications/articles about ethics in public administrations in general and particularly in customs administrations? Your valuable comments are also welcome. Thanks in advance...
Modern public administration science has a history only of more than hundred years. Do You agree that this period lacks fundamental public administration theories if compare with political science, sociology, economics?
Considering public administration continuous efforts to follow and serve public purposes and needs, covering comprehensive areas and wide variety of sectors, how to ensure the most convenient approach to research, measure, redefine or redescribe, so to ensure the most suitable "tailor made" solutions, meeting specific needs and expectations.
Can my first degree in Political Science make me relevant in Public Administration department?
I am looking out for theories and empirical cases that provide prima facie evidence that subordinates in most cases emulate or mimic the actions, behaviors and practices of their leaders.
I came across this framework leadership-subordinate ethical diffusion framework in this article "Public sector leadership‐subordinate ethical diffusion conundrum: perspectives from developing African countries" published by Journal of Public Affairs.
I am looking out for other relevant theories as well as practical cases from other context

Hi,
To which academic fields does the quality certification of universities and higher education schools belong to? Quality management ? Management of public administrations? Educational Sciences ? Thanks in advance.
update: I'm juste looking for academic works / journals about that kind of certifications (framework, theory etc), not the pratical implemetation that depends on universites and ministries
