The Politics of Bureaucratic Reputation

Abstract

Bureaucratic reputation literature has demonstrated that to manage their reputation public organizations adjust decision-making practices, produce diverse outputs, and communicate about their competences and activities. However, we still have a limited understanding of how and to what extent reputational considerations affect bureaucracies’ behaviour and outputs, and how, and under what conditions, this differs. Also, we lack understanding in the effects of bureaucratic reputation on public cooperation, support, and trust in public agencies. This panel consists of theoretical and empirical contributions on the politics of bureaucratic reputation.
