“…The three propositions deepen our understanding of the role of translation and coping behavior in sustainable implementation of co-production and help identify reasons why street-level professionals end up abandoning or failing to implement co-production in their practices Sustainable implementation of co-production (Ness et al, 2014). Thus, this study adds to the existing literature on coping behavior and coproduction (Aschhoff and Vogel, 2018;Jaspers and Steen, 2019, 2020, 2022. First, it highlights the significance of interpretation and coping strategies to enable true implementation of co-production as a way of working in practice.…”

“…Though organizations face well-known challenges in translating organizational ideas into frontline practices and formulate the necessary action (e.g. Linneberg et al, 2019;Thøgersen, 2022), previous studies have primarily focused on top management's translation (Røvik, 2007). A growing body of literature on Scandinavian institutionalism recognizes the crucial role of lowerlevel actors, including street-level professionals, in translation processes (Bentzen, 2019;Linneberg et al, 2019;Vossen and van Gestel, 2019).…”

PurposeThis study explores how street-level professionals translate and implement a co-production strategy, formulated by top management, in their professional practices, focusing on conflicts that arise during this process and the effectiveness of the coping strategies employed by these professionals to manage them.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is based on a lower-level inquiry into three care services in Denmark. It adopted the translation perspective in organizational research to analyze the consequences of street-level professionals' translation choices. Data were collected through interviews and observations.FindingsThis study found that street-level professionals' translation choices contribute to conflicts of varying forms and extents. The finding suggests that the way conflicts are managed makes the difference between the actual organizational change and the more symbolic acceptance of co-production.Originality/valueThis study contributes to discourses on challenges in co-production implementation by deepening knowledge about the role of coping behavior and translation in sustainable implementation of co-production.

“…Actors translate global field-level ideas at multiple levels of society through active contextualization and entrepreneurship work (Andersson Malmros, 2021; Gond & Boxenbaum, 2013; Ritvala & Granqvist, 2009), as well as through various linking activities to pave the way for adherence in local organizations (Heinze et al, 2016; Outila et al, 2021). The translators themselves also affect the translation responses because of their considerable vigilance and commitment, in addition to their reflections and emotions connected to expressions of institutionalized beliefs (Cassell & Lee, 2017; Lawrence, 2017; Thøgersen, 2022). They may also use their social positions in organizational hierarchies to direct the translation outcomes (Nicolini et al, 2019; Spyridonidis & Currie, 2016) and their agency to choose influential language in decision-making (Piekkari, Tietze, & Koskinen, 2020).…”

Research has demonstrated how the translation of a new management concept into organizational practices is impacted by the translators’ engagement with their local context. We expand this literature by demonstrating how a heterogenous institutional context prompts translators to create practice change but also practice maintenance. Building upon an interpretive analytical framework we offer a way forward to examine relationships between societal institutions and distributed collective work in change processes. Our longitudinal qualitative study based upon interviews and observations examines how the concept of value-based healthcare was translated at a hospital. The translators developed three micro-tactics: disregard, maintenance, and displacement, grounded in their narration of practice changes. Translators enacted institutional logics differently at the levels of meaning and practice when they framed, rationalised, and contextualised the potentialities of a new concept, and this complexity provided the possibility of various practice outcomes. We contribute to the understanding of translation by demonstrating how a heterogenous institutional context encourages translators to change selected practices but also to decouple and maintain most of the existing practices due to their enactment of institutionalised rationalities. Moreover, we discuss how translation outcomes are impacted by collaborating actors’ shared interpretations of their institutional context. Collaborating translators need to agree on whether and what practice change is valuable for the organization, and change is only possible when they interpret that they have the leverage to align a new idea with dominant institutional logics.

In order to promote government innovation, this article outlines the overall goal of bureaucratic reform in Indonesia as well as how it is being implemented in North Moluccas Province. An exploratory qualitative methodology is used in this article's data analysis, which is complemented by theoretical evaluations of many sources on public administration innovation trends, public service innovation, and government innovation strategies. According to the theoretical review analysis, it indicates how a notion has changed from the most recent trend to the previous trend. This study must be done in order to comprehend the paradigm change in Indonesian economic innovation from conventional models to digital-based innovation. It is crucial to do this study to learn more about Indonesia's regional innovation's paradigm change from traditional models to bureaucratic innovation based on digital technologies. How come? By focusing this research in North Moluccas, it needs a new innovation in island-based administration since its topography comprises of isolated islands that are challenging to link in the public service network. The internal dynamics of Indonesia's Grand Design Bureaucracy from 2010 to 2014, 2015 to 2019, and 2020 to 2024 are related to this change in the trend. A number of conclusions are drawn from the discussion of this article, including the need that the North Maluku Provincial Government compare its accomplishments to those of other regional innovation indexes. By empowering state employees to carry out the digital transformation of public administration and services, North Maluku Province may accomplish public service innovation. The future of civilization, collective intelligence, and creative public service methods will be impacted by these autonomous data-based decision-making processes.
