Vielmehr gewinnen Ans{\"a}tze und Methoden des New Work im {\"o}ffentlichen Sektor angesichts der sich stetig {\"a}ndernden und dynamischen Arbeitswelt eine immer gr{\"o}ßere Bedeutung. Umso mehr besteht die Notwendigkeit, sich in der Verwaltung agil aufzustellen. Unter Agilit{\"a}t wird hierbei die F{\"a}higkeit einer Organisation verstanden, sich schnell ver{\"a}ndernden Rahmenbedingungen flexibel und dynamisch anzupassen. Im Fokus dieser Arbeit steht der Einfluss von Agilit{\"a}t auf die F{\"u}hrungskr{\"a}fte-Mitarbeiter-Beziehung. Mittels einer halbstandardisierten Online-Befragung im Landesamt f{\"u}r Fl{\"u}chtlingsangelegenheiten und im Bezirksamt Neuk{\"o}lln von Berlin wird zun{\"a}chst der vorliegende Agilit{\"a}tsgrad mit dem Fokus auf agile Organisationsstrukturen, agile Organisationskultur und agile F{\"u}hrung ermittelt und sodann anhand der Qualit{\"a}t der dyadischen Arbeitsbeziehung von F{\"u}hrungskraft und Mitarbeiter (LMX-Qualit{\"a}t) {\"u}berpr{\"u}ft, inwiefern die agile Arbeitsweise im Vergleich zu einer nicht-agilen Arbeitsumgebung die Beziehung beeinflusst. Im Ergebnis der Untersuchung zeigt sich, dass ein positiver Zusammenhang zwischen Agilit{\"a}t und der F{\"u}hrungskr{\"a}fte-Mitarbeiter-Beziehung besteht. Es stellt sich in beiden {\"A}mtern ein m{\"a}ßig bis starker Agilit{\"a}tsgrad heraus, wobei besonders agile F{\"u}hrungseigenschaften zu den wesentlichen Faktoren z{\"a}hlen, die eine hochqualitative Beziehung beg{\"u}nstigen. W{\"a}hrend im Bezirksamt ein Zusammenhang zwischen Agilit{\"a}t und hoher LMX-Qualit{\"a}t ermittelt wurde, konnte dieser nicht f{\"u}r die untersuchte Stichprobe des Landesamts festgestellt werden.

This leads many of them to attempt to circumvent their term limits. Recent studies explain both the reasons for the extension or full abolition of term limits, and failed attempts to do so. Key explanations include electoral competition and the post-term fate of previous post holders. What we do not know yet is how compliance with term limits may be tied to the current president's expectations for their post-term fate. In particular, we do not know whether leaders who attempt to remove term limits and fail to do so jeopardize their post-term career as a result, and conversely, whether leaders who comply will have better outcomes in terms of security, prestige, and economic gain. Hence, we ask how the decision of a leader to comply or not comply with term limits is conditioned by the expectation of their post-term fate. To address this question, this article introduces new data on the career trajectories of term-limited presidents and its systematic effect on term limit compliance.}, language = {en} } @masterthesis{Kabaali2022, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, author = {Kabaali, Daphne}, title = {Die Rolle von Street-Level Bureaucrats bei der Erbringung von {\"o}ffentlichen Leistungen - eine empirische Untersuchung}, issn = {2190-4561}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-56355}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-563555}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {ii, 29}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Die Transformation der {\"o}ffentlichen Verantwortung im Bereich der sozialen Wohlfahrt f{\"u}hrte in den letzten Jahren zu einem gestiegenen Forschungsinteresse an Mitarbeiten-den, die sich an der Schnittstelle zwischen {\"o}ffentlicher Verwaltung und direktem Kontakt zu Klient*innen befinden.

To answer this question, we compared different dictionary and scaling methods used in predicting the sentiment of German literature reviews to the "gold standard " of human-coded sentiments. Literature reviews constitute a challenging text corpus for computational analysis as they not only contain different text levels-for example, a summary of the work and the reviewer's appraisal-but are also characterized by subtle and ambiguous language elements. To take the nuanced sentiments of literature reviews into account, we worked with a metric rather than a dichotomous scale for sentiment analysis. The results of our analyses show that the predicted sentiments of prefabricated dictionaries, which are computationally efficient and require minimal adaption, have a low to medium correlation with the human-coded sentiments (r between 0.32 and 0.39). The accuracy of self-created dictionaries using word embeddings (both pre-trained and self-trained) was considerably lower (r between 0.10 and 0.28). Given the high coding intensity and contingency on seed selection as well as the degree of data pre-processing of word embeddings that we found with our data, we would not recommend them for complex texts without further adaptation. While fully automated approaches appear not to work in accurately predicting text sentiments with complex texts such as ours, we found relatively high correlations with a semiautomated approach (r of around 0.6)-which, however, requires intensive human coding efforts for the training dataset. In addition to illustrating the benefits and limits of computational approaches in analyzing complex text corpora and the potential of metric rather than binary scales of text sentiment, we also provide a practical guide for researchers to select an appropriate method and degree of pre-processing when working with complex texts.}, language = {en} } @book{SommererAgneZellietal.2022, author = {Sommerer, Thomas and Agn{\´e}, Hans and Zelli, Fariborz and Bes, Bart Joachim}, title = {Global Legitimacy Crises}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford}, isbn = {978-0-19-194674-5}, doi = {10.1093/oso/9780192856326.001.0001}, pages = {240}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Global Legitimacy Crises addresses the consequences of legitimacy in global governance, in particular asking: when and how do legitimacy crises affect international organizations and their capacity to rule. The book starts with a new conceptualization of legitimacy crisis that looks at public challenges from a variety of actors. Based on this conceptualization, it applies a mixed-methods approach to identify and examine legitimacy crises, starting with a quantitative analysis of mass media data on challenges of a sample of 32 IOs. It shows that some, but not all organizations have experienced legitimacy crises, spread over several decades from 1985 to 2020. Following this, the book presents a qualitative study to further examine legitimacy crises of two selected case studies: the WTO and the UNFCCC. Whereas earlier research assumed that legitimacy crises have negative consequences, the book introduces a theoretical framework that privileges the activation inherent in a legitimacy crisis. It holds that this activation may not only harm an IO, but could also strengthen it, in terms of its material, institutional, and decision-making capacity. The following statistical analysis shows that whether a crisis has predominantly negative or positive effects depends on a variety of factors. These include the specific audience whose challenges define a certain crisis, and several institutional properties of the targeted organization. The ensuing in-depth analysis of the WTO and the UNFCCC further reveals how legitimacy crises and both positive and negative consequences are interlinked, and that effects of crises are sometimes even visible beyond the organizational borders.}, language = {en} } @article{BuenningHipp2022, author = {B{\"u}nning, Mareike and Hipp, Lena}, title = {How can we become more equal?}, series = {Journal of European social policy}, volume = {32}, journal = {Journal of European social policy}, number = {2}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {London}, issn = {0958-9287}, doi = {10.1177/09589287211035701}, pages = {182 -- 196}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This study examines how public policies affect parents' preferences for a more egalitarian division of paid and unpaid work. Based on the assumption that individuals develop their preferences within a specific policy context, we examine how changes in three policies affect mothers' and fathers' work-family preferences: the availability of high-quality, affordable childcare; the right to return to a full-time job after having reduced hours to part-time and an increase in the number of 'partner months' in parental leave schemes. Analysing a unique probability sample of parents with young children in Germany from 2015 (N = 1756), we find that fathers would want to work slightly fewer hours if they had the right to return to a full-time position after working part-time, and mothers would want to work slightly more hours if childcare opportunities were improved. Full-time working parents, moreover, are found to prefer fewer hours independent of the policy setting, while non-employed parents would like to work at least some hours. Last but not least, our analyses show that increasing the number of partner months in the parental leave scheme considerably increases fathers' preferences for longer and mothers' preferences for shorter leave. Increasing the number of partner months in parental schemes hence has the greatest potential to increase gender equality.}, language = {en} }
