Administrative Behavior amidst Political Failure

Abstract

Effective bureaucracies require an effective political process. This panel examines how distinct and combinative elements of political failure – e.g., the allocation of inadequate financial, material or temporal resources, the provision of insufficient autonomy to devise or implement solutions based on expertise, and the formulation of unclear, inconsistent or unstable objectives– shape administrative behavior. Papers can address administrative behavior of decision-makers on the individual or organizational level of analysis, including search, risk-taking and decision-making, leadership behavior, goal-setting, resource allocation, strategy formulation, implementation of innovation and change, and recruitment or personnel policies.
