“…Not only firms have to provide services or products. Society requires firms transparency, efficiency and accountability [7,8] and besides protect the public interest. The commitment of public service organizations for the CSR issues is a key issue that must be analysed [25].…”

“…Governments are increasingly conscious of the relevance of applying concepts of CSR and therefore comply with criteria of efficiency and transparency [7,8]. Moreover, governments play an essential role in fostering and enhancing CSR and act as a public arbiter in this field [9] through the implementation of fiscal incentives or tax credits, by regulation and by creating rules to help society [9].…”

In recent years, significant changes have produced in the organisational culture of the public sector, bringing accountability and sustainability to the foreground and highlighting the definition of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in public administrations. In this respect, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are well placed to provide an important example to other companies and society and could be of crucial importance in the promotion and development of socially responsible policies. With these considerations in mind, we analyse the state of research into the practice of CSR within SOEs, seeking to identify the main theoretical and empirical contributions made in this respect, that it will be a useful base for studies in the future. Our results show that research attention has been paid to this issue but significantly less than the large body of work carried out in this respect in the private sector. Most of the studies we identify are descriptive, although a growing body of explanatory research is now appearing. Few studies have been made of the impact of CSR practices on users and this constitutes a possible area for research in the future. Our review shows that research into CSR in SOEs is particularly significant in countries where the state has a strong presence in these companies.

“…performance-based bonuses) which may not necessarily be provided to managers in public sector organizations [7]. Others have confirmed that private sector organizations invest more resources into ICTs compared to the public sector [47]. This is because the private sector views ICT as an important enabler for enhancing their competitive advantage which may not be as critical for public sector organizations given that they operate like a monopoly for most public services.…”

Social media technologies offer substantial opportunities to public sector organizations for developing community-based partnerships by facilitating engagement with citizens. Yet, public sector social media adoption remains an under-researched phenomenon, which at least partially is attributed to the unique challenges and idiosyncrasies of public sector organizations. We take an analytical approach to examine qualitative evidence sourced from interviews with twenty-four local government organizations across Australia, and contribute to the existing body of knowledge. We induce a range of technological, organizational, and environmental factors that can impact on the social media adoption decisions in local government organizations. The interactions among these factors are also examined. In a dynamic environment where social media use is changing quickly, our findings about social media adoption factors can be useful to many stakeholders, including public sector adoption decision makers, social media and communication officers.

“…According to Rocheleau and Wu (2002), the main difference between ITG in the public and private sectors lies in the fact that the public sector provides public goods and services, rather than services or products for sale. However, ITG in the public sector does not show significant conceptual differences from ITG in the private sector.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to address the process of organizational governance of IT resources, called IT governance (ITG), especially its behavioral approach. The organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) concept was used to understand the relationship between the behavioral dimensions and the perception of ITG effectiveness. The objective of this research is to identify if individuals' behavior contributes to a greater perception of ITG effectiveness in public organizations. This is an exploratory and descriptive research with a quantitative approach. Design/methodology/approach -This was an exploratory and descriptive research with a quantitative approach. A survey with IT teams of public organizations in a Brazilian state was performed, and data were analyzed through partial least squares. A positive and significant relationship between the variables Spirit of Initiative (R 2 ¼ 0.2926) and Identification with the Organization (R 2 ¼ 0.1276), and the perception of ITG effectiveness was found. Findings -Results showed that when OCB levels are higher, ITG is more easily perceived as effective. This occurs because the predisposition to adopt ITG mechanisms increases the changes in the governance process, which are understood as significant by the organization. In addition, it is important to consider the impact of change on individuals, due to ITG adoption. This reinforces that ITG is not just about the IT department, but also refers to its adoption and use throughout the organization as a key resource for the implementation of public policies and for following governmental strategies.Research limitations/implications -The predictive capacity of the proposed relationship model requires a larger number of confirmatory studies. Its application is suggested in other federative units or in private organizations. Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) licence.
