Strategic management during cutbacks in the Dutch penitentiary sector" "Steven Van de Walle" "We analyse how public managers interact with external stakeholders during cutbacks. Relying on strategic management scholarship, we develop an argument on why public managers decide for a closed or an open cutback management strategy. In the former, they try to close off the process for external stakeholders, whereas, in the latter, they actively engage with external stakeholders. A multiple qualitative case study of cutbacks in the Dutch prison sector shows that the choice to actively engage with external stakeholders depends on public managers’ position within the organisational hierarchy, their perception of the stakeholder environment, and their process goals. The factors that impact public managers strategic stance can be categorised as contextual, institutional and organisational, and environmental determinants. The article contributes to the scholarship on cutback management, accounting and strategic management, and shows why these perspectives should be bridged in order to understand managerial behaviour during cutbacks" "Institutional quality, corruption, and impartiality: The role of process and outcome for citizen trust in public administration in 173 European regions" "Steven Van de Walle, Koen Migchelbrink" "A systematic review of the literature on determinants of public managers' attitudes toward public participation" "Koen Migchelbrink, Steven Van de Walle" "Research on public managers’ attitudes towards local public participation has expanded rapidly during the past two decades. Studies show that public managers’ attitudes towards public participation play an important role in the success of participatory practices. However, there is a lack of systematic evidence on determinants of public managers’ attitudes towards public participation. In this paper, we conduct a systematic literature review of determinants of public managers’ attitudes towards public participation. Based on evidence from 99 peer-reviewed journal articles, we establish four categories of determinants: 1. Personal characteristics; 2. Process characteristics; 3. Organisational structures and culture; and 4. Contextual features. The results suggest that public managers’ attitudes towards public participation are multi-dimensional and context specific. This study may help policymakers manage public managers’ negative attitudes towards public participation or increase their positive attitudes towards public participation through professional training and education."
