More dissimilar than alike? Public values preferences acrossUSminority and white managers
研究美国地方政府中少数族裔与白人管理者在部门决策中的价值观偏好差异，发现两者对传统公共行政价值观偏好相似，但少数族裔管理者对效率、公平等价值观偏好更强。
Interest in public values has grown considerably over the past two decades. Much of this attention reflects a growing awareness that public values hold considerable significance for citizens and public employees. Yet, despite the rapid expansion of research on public values, we still know little about the role of race in shaping and determining public employees’ values preferences. To begin remedying this gap, this article examines whether minority and white public managers in large US local governments exhibit the same value preferences when making departmental decisions. Results from a multiple group confirmatory factor analysis indicate that minority and white managers express similar preferences for traditional public administration values; however, minority managers report a stronger preference for both traditional public administration (e.g., efficiency and effectiveness) and social equity‐oriented (e.g., equity, representation) values.
