“…Th e quality of a government is achieved when its activities and performance refl ect the contours of the value system that exists within the niche of its entity. Th e government will not alienate the public if it invests in the intelligence of government actors, including the collection and incorporation of social capital into the process (Fukuyama, 2013;Shrestha, 2015;Mamokhere et al, 2021;Prudence et al, 2021;Lim et al, 2016). Th e existence of broad public trust is evidenced by the group's contribution to the integrated development framework at the local level, the strengthening of self-cooperative institutions, the construction of business centers, and the establishment of home-based industries (start-ups).…”

“…Only authorities that are able to facilitate the expansion of public preferences in a responsible manner can gain the trust of the public. According to Prudence et al (2021) and Radhika (2012), it is crucial to present a variety of ethical alternatives for public administrators to improve their ethics at the professional level. Th e fi rst is deontological, where offi cial ethics are based on institutional oaths; the second is consequential or teleological, where utilitarian and cost-benefi t analysis are examples of this group's practice; and the third is spiritual wisdom ethics, where internal ethics are reproduced from a constant dialogue between thought and intuitive awareness.…”

This study aims to introduce the concept of social capitalbased on public policy environment into the study of policy implementation modalities. Using recent empirical data, it describes the challenge of institutionalizing a new set of social capital and its relationship within the framework of governance quality to address the question of how social capitalis implemented . To answer this question, the authors used qualitative methods and case studies to discuss crucial aspects of regulating the institutionalization of social capital development and the interaction of social capital within the governance framework that government will adopt. The group of independent home-based workers at the village level was selected based on national policy and program support, which provides a comprehensive empirical foundation for observing it inside the village governance framework.The findings show that social capital can improve policy implementation through 2 things:strengthening social capital through affirmative policy support and programs for special groups/forums. Development of a variety of decision-making innovations, such as women's network leadership meetings, village discussions, women's schools and an important role in formal planning at the village level. Both are correlated to the institutionalization of a new value system, relations between institutions, and the formation of new public values that are more genuine, and reinforce the diversity of previous implementation values. Social capital is the most elementary part for the successful implementation of public policies initiated by the state. The impact is that policy implementation has the ability to reduce the socio-economic costs of development, and functions to synergize the achievement of decent work and self-reliance for groups of women homeworkers.

“…This involves actively participating in the policy process, whether as government watchdogs, observers (O'Connell, 1994), or as engaged voters and political party members (Hoskins and Mascherini, 2009). Their voices, influenced by self-interest or altruism (Lee et al, 2020), play a crucial role in shaping policies that reflect diverse public values (Brown et al, 2021). In specific, citizens exercise their empowered right to participate in the policy process, which spans from electing their representatives as policymakers to actively voicing their opinions in public service provision.…”

PurposeThis article conceptualizes and constructs a comprehensive framework that can better help to answer that question – Who is accountable for social and public problems? – theoretically and practically.Design/methodology/approachTracing the drivers behind two phenomena “accountability hole” and “accountability black hole”, stemming from “pushing power game” and “pulling power game”, respectively, this study considers (1) the three actors of society: citizens (civil society), corporations (market) and civil servants (government), and (2) the principal-agent relationship between the three actors in the face of social and public problems. As a result, the 4CAs framework that contains the three actors’ collaborative accountabilities to one another is presented.FindingsThe 4CAs model emphasizes (1) all three actors function as agents that are accountable to one another, (2) collaborative accountability beyond collaborative governance and (3) repowering citizens and corporations beyond just empowering them, i.e. returning their inherent rights and obligations to serve one another.Originality/valueThe 4CAs model may function as a descriptive and prescriptive lens through which the trilemma between market failure, government failure and citizen failure can be re-assessed and balanced. The model can also be used as a set of indicators for assessing and helping a society to better resolve the social and public problems collectively.

“…При этом мнение ряда исследователей о том, что возникновение концепции ценностей для общества означало переход к новой «парадигме» в госуправлении (O'Flynn 2007;West and Davis, 2011), было критически воспринято другими учеными (Lodge and Gill, 2011). Дискуссия о концепции ценности для общества продолжается и в наши дни, что явно свидетельствует о неудовлетворенности части исследователей результатами, достигнутыми более десятилетия назад (Brown et al, 2021). Попытка оценить место ценности для общества в совокупности других концептуальных подходов к госуправлению была предпринята в (Turkel and Turkel, 2016).…”

The growth of the states' economic potential in most countries of the world in recent decades has sharply increased interest in effectiveness and efficiency of public administration. The purpose of this article is to analyze a group of approaches elaborated to replace the New Public Management. They are focused on the concept of co-production, which is strengthening the participation of citizens during decision-making and implementation. We rely on economic concepts, including that of opportunistic behavior, and principalagent model, to introduce and analyze the concept of co-production action of an individual. Within the theoretical framework of Public Administration, there is a lack of attention to the economic concepts among research of Co-production of Public Services, Public Value and New Public Governance. Besides, the fact that public services belong to different types of economic goods, such as search, experience and credence ones, is also neglected; no consistent delimitation of services and customer support is provided; practical recommendations for improving public administration in natural states ignore the results of studies on the social preferences of individuals. We conclude that the analyzed concepts do not go beyond the Public Administration Theory assumptions, which have led to the emergence and mass dissemination of New Public Management approach. Without the change this article proposes, improving effectiveness and efficiency of public administration is hardly capable.
