The Art of Governance
Public administration has evolved into an extraordinarily complex form of governance employing traditional bureaucracy, quasi-government public organizations, and collaborative networks of nongovernmental organizations. Analyzing and improving government performance—a matter of increasing concern to citizens, elected officials, and managers of the organizations themselves—has in turn become a much more fraught undertaking. Understanding the new complexities calls for new research approaches. The Art of Governance presents a fresh palette of research based on a new framework of governance that was first developed by coeditor Laurence E. Lynn, Jr., with Carolyn J. Heinrich, and Carolyn J. ...

Handbook of Public Administration
Public administration as a field of study finds itself in the middle of a fluid environment. The very reach and complexity of public administration has been easy to take for granted, easy to attack, and difficult to explain, particularly in the soundbite and Twitter-snipe media environment. Not only has the context for the discipline changed, but the institutions of public administration have adapted and innovated to deliver services to the public and serve those in power while becoming increasingly complex themselves. Has public administration evolved? And what new lines of research are critical for effective policy and delivery of programs and public services while preserving foundational ...
Assessing Organizational Diversity with Structural Equation Modeling
Assessing Organizational Diversity with Structural Equation Modeling applies partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to standardized and rank ordered latent composites of workforce diversity to endogenous composites of organizational performance of diversity. In so doing, this book offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to apply PLS-SEM in an organizational setting to assess the direct and indirect statistical relationships amongst exogenous and mediating composites and endogenous composites of organizational performance. Examples of standardized and rank-ordered PLS-SEM analyses are provided throughout the book. This book illustrates how to analyze and assess the direct and indirect statistical relationships of exogenous and mediating latent composites on different types of organizational performance such as human capital return on investment and net profit margin.

Just Money
How to use finance as a tool to build a more equitable and sustainable society. Money defines our present and will shape our future. Every investment decision we make adds a chapter to the story of what our world will look like. Although the idea of mission-based finance has been around for decades, there is a gap between organizations' stated intention to "do good" and meaningful impact. Still, some are succeeding. In Just Money, Katrin Kaufer and Lillian Steponaitis take readers on a global tour of financial institutions that use finance as a force for good.
Assessing Organizational Diversity with the Index of Qualitative Variation
This book provides a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the application of the Index of Qualitative Variation (IQV) to the workplace. Like its preceding companion books, this book offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to measure demographic and organizational diversity. Examples of how the IQV is applied to employment data are provided throughout the book. Consistent with its preceding companion books, this book illustrates the use of ordinary least squares, quantile, ridge, robust, and Tobit regression methods to assess how organizational and workplace factors influence age, ethnic, gender, and organizational diversity.
