Reinventing Government: City Manager Attitudes and Actions
基于全国调查，报告了城市管理者对重塑政府原则的态度及实施行动，发现多数管理者支持原则但行动较少，行动受管理者特征、社区和政府特点影响。
With the aim of helping move research from rhetoric to empirical reality, this article reports results of a national survey of city managers on attitudes towards and actions taken to implement principles of reinventing government. A large majority of managers support key principles of reinvention. A smaller proportion of managers has taken actions to recommend adoption of reinvention programs in their budget proposals to council. Managers' action‐taking is influenced by certain characteristics of city managers, their communities, and their governments, including managers' attitudes and experiences, slack resources, and region.
