“…For the purpose of inferential statistics, a public trust index was created by computing the mean trust score from the public trust in each of the institutions measured on a 4-point scale (Cronbach's α = .851). Such an approach is in line with the works of Beeri et al (2019), Chevalier (2019, and Martinez- Martin (2010).…”

“…Public trust in this study's context refers to citizens' general level of trust in government and its key institutions. Thus, public trust is a subjective attitudinal indicator about the degree of confidence that citizens have in state authorities and administrative branches such as the police, the courts, federal government, federal parliament, and the civil service system (Beeri, Uster, & Vigoda-Gadot, 2019).…”

“…Consequently, unlike many Western nations, Israel has never reached the point where it can devote all of its energies and resources to the well-being of its citizens. Indeed, a major portion of its budget, which comes from taxpayers, as well as its human resources are allocated to defence (Beeri, Uster, and Vigoda-Gadot 2019;Ivanyna and Shah 2014). Faced with these burdens, local taxpayers have less money and energy to invest in efforts to modernize and reform the management of local government.…”

Lack of reform or the slow pace of reform in public management is an issue that plagues Israel, particularly in local government (Beeri & Razin, 2015; Levi et al., 2020; Razin & Lindsey, 2017). Based on the assumption that public reform, meaning changes to the structures and processes of public organizations designed to improve their performance (Pollitt & Bouckaert, 2017), is a feature of modern governance, studies investigating lack of reform have suggested it as evidence of non-governability, lack of management, lack of leadership and even public anarchy (e.g., Jeffery, 2008; Rahat & Hazan, 2011). However, its wide-ranging and theoretical influence has not yet been examined in depth, its connections to recent trends in public management have yet to be clarified, and its ramifications for the management of Israeli local municipalities are unclear. Thus, I explore the theoretical and practical interactions between the attributes and circumstances of the lack of reform of local government in Israel-especially in its management. I also examine how recent global trends such as the co-production of value and the coronavirus outbreak may postpone or accelerate such reform. KEYWORDS Lack of reform; Israeli local government; co-production of value; coronavirus outbreak; non-reform policy The relationship between the central and local governments in Israel Israel is a unitary state. Traditionally, public services have been very centralized. Local authorities do have the responsibility for providing municipal services. However, the power and strategic authority given to them are not commensurate with this level of responsibility (

“…As a pro-social behavior, public voice is vital for advancement and betterment of society [ 4 ], and it is believed that public voice plays an important role in the cooperative governance of government and other organizations (e.g., enterprises, non-profit organizations) under a public health emergency. Considering that public participation in public administration and policy formulation is beneficial to government performance, governments attach much importance to the public’s role in policy-making, especially in the areas of environmental governance, public health, and sustainable development [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. In the face of extraordinary development problems, such as economic recession, public opinion in policy-making is extremely important [ 9 ].…”

With the development of the Internet, social networking sites have empowered the public to directly express their views about social issues and hence contribute to social change. As a new type of voice behavior, public voice on social media has aroused wide concern among scholars. However, why public voice is expressed and how it influences social development and betterment in times of public health emergencies remains unstudied. A key point is whether governments can take effective countermeasures when faced with public health emergencies. In such situation, public voice is of great significance in the formulation and implementation of coping policies. This qualitive study uses China’s Health Code policy under COVID-19 to explore why the public performs voice behavior on social media and how this influences policy evolution and product innovation through cooperative governance. A stimulus-cognition-emotion-behavior model is established to explain public voice, indicating that it is influenced by cognitive processes and public emotions under policy stimulus. What is more, as a form of public participation in cooperative governance, public voice plays a significant role in promoting policy evolution and product innovation, and represents a useful form of cooperation with governments and enterprises to jointly maintain social stability under public health emergencies
