How has stakeholder theory served the public administration literature? In search of the intellectual structure of the field
通过文献计量和词汇分析，梳理公共行政领域利益相关者理论的知识结构，发现其基于协作治理、利益相关者显著性、合法性和棘手政策问题四个理论基础，并主张回归用利益相关者解释绩效决定因素。
This investigation aims to contribute to the intellectual structure of public administration stakeholder theory. There is a need for dedicated effort to understand the real contribution of the most cited references in the field. The literature review is carried out using bibliometric and lexical analyses. The main conclusion is that articles have used concepts from four theoretical bases: collaborative governance, stakeholder salience, legitimacy, and wicked policy problems. This represents a step forward in the existing literature on public administration stakeholder theory extant literature as we advocate the return to using stakeholders to explain performance determinants.
