“…Although the literature has advanced the understanding of how the relationship between FBOs and the state organizations affects the development of public services and changes them, it is not known how these relationships play out on an everyday basis (Bielefeld & Cleveland, 2013a; Freeman & Houston, 2010) and to what extent they transform FBOs, state organizations, and the services they provide. Moreover, the existing literature was mostly developed in the U.S. context, where FBOs and state organizations have specific characteristics and demands.…”

This article investigates the factors that enable cooperation between the state and faith-based organizations (FBOs) in public service implementation. Looking at the Brazilian context, the research explores the consequences of hybridization processes for FBOs and state organizations, as well as for public services. The article analyzes the case of therapeutic communities, FBOs that provide services for drug and alcohol users. Data were collected through documents and 67 interviews with different actors involved in the service implementation. The findings contribute to the literatures on FBOs, hybridization, and institutional fit, showing that the interactions between state organizations and FBOs lead to the inclusion of values and cognitive frameworks for both, generating a mutual constitution between them. The findings show how different types of institutional fit enable cooperation throughout different forms of mediation, which also affect the organizations involved in the cooperation.

“…Being a civil servant is often described as a calling, a duty and a job as a 'not work' task (Freeman & Houston, 2010;Houston, 2005;Perry, 1996). Although the attitudes of each individual are different, civil servants are required to commit to government rules, maintain ethics at work that can affect society (Houston, 2005).…”

“…Voluntarism is the variable that has the greatest influence on public service motivation. Charity and humanitarian activities carried out by civil servants show that helping people can encourage someone to love one another (Freeman & Houston, 2010;Houston, Cartwright, & Cartwright, 2017). In addition, charity is also a form of affection among people.…”

“…This is not the case, however. Houston, Freeman & Feldman (2008), Freeman & Houston (2010), and Shah, Larbi & Batley (2007) all offer very plausible reasons why public administrations need to study religion, based on pragmatic considerations. They also propose future research questions taking into account existing gaps in research and methodologies.…”

European Perspectives for Public Administration

2020

Imagined by Geert Bouckaert, Past President of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences, IIAS, and his colleague and friend Werner Jann, the project baptised European Perspectives for Public Administration (EPPA) -of which this book embodies some of the key findings -undertakes to do something that learned societies rarely engage in. What the initiators have proposed to the epistemic community of scholars studying public institutions on our "old" European continent is to start a collective reflection upon the transformations of researching and teaching Public Administration, looking twenty years ahead from now. In doing so, Geert Bouckaert and Werner Jann have taken inspiration from a similar endeavour already existing on the other side of the Atlantic: the Minnowbrook Conferences. Convened every 20 years, at Syracuse University's Minnowbrook Conference Center, they bring together major scholars in Public Administration and management to discuss the state of the field and its future: the first meeting was held in 1968 under the high patronage of Dwight Waldo, Minnowbrook II in 1988, and Minnowbrook III in 2008. In a spirit of lively trans-Atlantic dialogue, Geert Bouckaert and Werner Jann have imagined that, also every twenty years, but in the "entre-deux" decade, starting from 2018, we, the Europeans, could have our own Minnowbrook exercise: that is precisely what the European Perspectives for Public Administration is all about! EPPA can be seen as a sort of secularist and collective "spiritual exercise": we are asked to abandon our obsession with daily tasks and short-term duties, which are too often the vehicles for path-dependent and decreasing-returns thinking, and rather to take the move from longer-term possible or plausible futures, and then, from this unusual standpoint and perspective, reconsider how we research and how we teach public institutions. The EPPA exercise is a salutary effort to "think out of the (chronologic) box" to bring renewed lucidity and discernment to the very centre of our academic field, and revisit its foundations through embracing the challenges that confronting synchronic and diachronic variations EuroPEAn PErsPEc TivEs For Public AdminisTrATion inevitably brings with it. In particular, EPPA is a way of questioning the ways and means in which civilisations (including religions) and cultures (national, but also regional, or even institutional ones) have an influence on public administration, both as a practice (or "craft") and as an academic discipline, and what it means to develop research and teaching for an increasingly interdisciplinary field like Public Administration. We are so happy and proud that -thanks to the strong commitment and cordial leadership of Geert Bouckaert and Werner Jann, and also the excellent work of Jana Bertels -the EPPA I, which has so widely involved the participation of the EGPA community, has achieved its ambitious goals.As a jewel of EGPA, the EPPA project happens to be a shining illustration of the progressive institutionalisation ...
