Public Professionals and Policy implementation
研究了公共专业人员因角色冲突而不愿执行注重经济价值的政策，构建并测量了三种角色冲突量表，发现政策-专业和政策-客户冲突会降低执行意愿。
Abstract Nowadays, public policies often focus on economic values, such as efficiency and financial transparency. Public professionals often resist implementing such policies. We analyse this using the concept of ‘role conflicts’. We use a novel approach by conceptualizing and measuring role conflicts on the policy level, thereby linking policy implementation and social psychology research. We construct and test scales for policy-client, policy-professional and organizational-professional role conflicts. Using survey data, we show that policy-professional and policy-client role conflicts negatively influence the willingness of public professionals to implement policies. In concluding, we conceptualized and measured three role conflicts that can occur during policy implementation.
