“…This includes the incorporation of social equity perspectives and equity‐related research questions in all subfields of the discipline. In public budgeting and finance, for example, researchers can explore the inclusion of social equity in budgeting processes and the relationship between fiscal health and equity disparities (McDonald & McCandless, 2021; Rubin & Bartle, 2021). In public procurement, research should consider ways to incorporate minority and diverse populations among those who apply for and receive government grants.…”

Research in the field of public administration has changed and advanced significantly in recent years. These advancements concern both how we engage in research-such as the methods we apply, the interdisciplinary nature of the theories we use, and the research questions we ask. Increasingly, we are witnessing a shift in public-sector values away from efficiency and effectiveness and toward a paradigm that highlights equity. In this article, we reflect on these changes from our position as editors-in-chief of some of the leading journals in the field. In addition to describing the progress of this discipline, we explore emerging windows of opportunity for new research. One such window is research on ways to incorporate interdisciplinary perspectives and methods. We also see the need for work in such areas as social equity, comparative administration, artificial intelligence, and climate change. Finally, we argue for a more proactive approach in disseminating research to those involved in the day-to-day decision-making processes of public organizations. | INTRODUCTIONThe role of public administration emerged with the development of the first formal governments. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs deployed servants to do their bidding and tax collectors to find and manage the flow of resources (El Baradei, 2021;Ferlie et al., 2005). The first concerted effort to improve public management practices occurred in

“…Attention towards social equity budgeting has begun to change for the positive. Rubin and Bartle (2021) have started exploring how perspectives around gender can be incorporated into the budgeting process. McDonald and McCandless (2022) have started discussions around how social equity principles can be incorporated into the public accounting classroom.…”

Purpose The purpose of this polyphonic paper is to report on interdisciplinary discussions on the state-of-the-art and future of public sector accounting research (PSAR). The authors hope to enliven the debates of the past and future developments in terms of context, themes, theories, methods and impacts in the field of PSAR by the exchanges they include here. Design/methodology/approach This polyphonic paper adopts an interdisciplinary approach. It brings into conversation ideas, views and approaches of several scholars on the actual and future developments of PSAR in various contexts, and explores potential implications. Findings This paper has brought together scholars from a plurality of disciplines, research methods and geographical areas, showing at the same time several points of convergence on important future themes (such as accounting as a mean for public, accounting, hybridity and value pluralism) and enabling conditions (accounting capabilities, profession and digitalisation) for PSA scholarship and practice, and the richness of looking at them from a plurality of perspectives. Research limitations/implications Exploring these past and future developments opens up the potential for interesting theoretical insights. A much greater theoretical and practical reconsideration of PSAR will be fostered by the exchanges included here. Originality/value In setting out a future research agenda, this paper fosters theoretical and methodological pluralism in the interdisciplinary research community interested in PSAR in various contexts. The discussion perspectives presented in this paper constitute not only a basis for further research in this relevant accounting area on the role, status and developments of PSAR but also creative potential for practitioners to be more reflective on their practices and also intended and united outcomes of such practices.

“…We follow Ancona et al (2001: p. 513) in defining the concept of time as “a non‐spatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.” While this continuum is often viewed as involving a linear progression with time moving “forward” (i.e., in one direction), this need not necessarily be the case. Public budgets, for instance, follow a well‐defined set of stages every year (Rubin & Bartle, 2023), the development of legislation typically requires passing a pre‐set series of stages (Willems & Beyers, 2023), while the “policy cycle” describes the various stages of public policy development (Howlett et al, 2009). Similarly, many phenomena—including the evolution of public sector organizations—follow a developmental pattern across their “life cycle” (MacCarthaigh et al, 2012).…”

It's about time! Temporal dynamics and longitudinal research designs in public administration

Many of the fundamental research questions in public administration relate to individual‐ or organization‐level temporal dynamics, including the impact of public sector reforms, (in)stability of public policies and organizations, development of public service motivation, or the workplace socialization of public employees. However, theoretical, methodological, and empirical public administration scholarship continues to take time and temporal dynamics insufficiently seriously. This constitutes a major shortcoming within the profession and implies that we are yet to unlock the transformative potential of longitudinal research. Building on the recent development of novel research infrastructures that can support the study of temporal dynamics of—and within—public organizations, this Symposium pushes for a “longitudinal turn” in the study of public administration. We maintain that more concerted efforts to apply a temporal lens to our research endeavors are critical to theorize, empirically assess, and understand public administrations as well as the bureaucrats employed within them.

Gender‐responsive budgeting: A budget reform to address gender inequity

Abstract: In recognition of gender inequities, more than 80 countries have applied a gender perspective to their budget process, initiatives referred to as gender-responsive budgeting (GRB). Research on GRB initiatives has focused on whether they reduce gender inequities. However, if it is to have a
