“…Personal qualities and skills remain important to interaction (see also e.g. Demir, 2009Demir, , 2011Demir and Nank, 2012;Jacobsen, 2006), the three groups we formed seem to represent different ways of interacting in the decision-making process. For public administrators, we considered the institutional position as presenting or non-presenting public administrator to be a possible grouping factor and thus, wanted to see if that would be the case when exploring the empirical data.…”

The rapid change of local government operating environment shapes the interaction between political leaders and public administrators, who work in the constant riptide of service responsiveness and economic pressure. We investigate the relationship between political leaders and public administrators in the local administration of social and health services. The patterns and pictures are examined empirically, with data gathered from strategic-level political leaders and public administrators in six Finnish local government organisations. The analysis applies multivariate methods. The results suggest that there are different groups among the political leaders. The differences are not based on political opinions, but rather on the attitudes towards the decision-making process, also the views on local government decision-making processes differ between the groups. The rapid contextual change experienced in the public organisations requires a fast and well-informed response from political leaders and public administrators; even political differences can be pushed aside in this turbulent operating environment.

“…First, Demir (2011) argues that interaction frequency is one of the two crucial elements of interaction intensity. In the field of public management, regular interaction is helpful to clarify the expectations of parties, narrow the gap between policy formulation and implementation, develop policy management goals and improve the overall efficiency of public administration.…”

Purpose There is growing interest among marketers in advertising and promoting their brands by adopting an online celebrity endorsement strategy. However, how online celebrities build their own brand equity and how online celebrity brand equity impacts fans’ purchase behavior have not been extensively researched in the extant literature. This paper aims to explore the factors that contribute to online celebrity branding and improving fans’ purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach A survey and an experiment were conducted among consumers from the mainland of China. A total of 12 hypotheses were proposed to exam how self-congruity and virtual interactivity impact online celebrity branding and to explore the moderating role of perceived quality and product type. Findings This paper reveals that customers’ perceived self-congruity with online celebrities’ image and virtual interactivity positively impact the brand equity of online celebrities. Additionally, compared with virtual interactivity, the effect of customer perceived self-congruity on a brand is more significant. The brand equity of online celebrities thereby drives followers’ purchase intentions and the perceived quality of products positively moderates this relationship. Originality/value The research conclusions provide managerial implications for marketing practitioners for how to use human brands on social media platforms in the web 2.0 era and ultimately enhance consumer purchase intentions.

“…Communication and information sharing are critical aspects of complementarity relationship as often noted in the literature (e.g., White, 1982;Nalbandian, 1999;Ohren, 2007;Demir, 2010). To maximize the positive outcomes of interaction, elected officials should provide guidance to managers while managers should fully inform elected officials of the administrative side of public policies.…”

“…The literature in public administration advances normative propositions that promote this enhanced collaboration and frequent interactions between elected officials and public administrators (Nalbandian, 1994;Demir, 2011;Demir, 2010). The hope is that such interactions between these officials will be infused with certain characteristics such as mutual support, respect, and understanding so that successful outcomes can be achieved.…”

Complementarity has become the new label to characterize the relations between elected officials and professional public administrators. In response to increasingly complex and challenging problems that face local government officials today, public administration scholars have explored how to improve the efficacy of interactions between elected and appointed officials. To do so, scholars have proposed that characteristics of quality interactions include mutual respect, understanding, communication, and partnership between the two parties. Inadequate empirical research, however, exists to help us understand what interaction quality means. This study fills an important gap in the literature by proposing and testing a multi-dimensional model to explain interaction quality. This study utilizes survey data collected from a nationwide sample of city managers in the United States and employs structural equation modeling.
