This study examines 1) whether the different expenditure mechanisms used by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) invite different sources of influences on the budget process and thus on the expenditure outcomes and 2) whether the frequent use of omnibus appropriations bills since 1996 has changed budget levels of the institutes under the NIH. The NIH uses two major expenditure mechanisms with very different beneficiary groups: the principal investigator-initiated Research Project Grants and Intramural Research. Drawing on theories of motivations of public officials and of political clout of agency heads and considering empirical studies of the effect of omnibus legislation, this study reveals the following: 1) directors with more public service experience are more successful in securing a higher budget for their institutes; 2) while the directors are found to be driven by public service motivation, when it comes to expenditure allocation between two different mechanisms, they behave in a self-interested manner, representing the interests of the institutional sectors where they have developed close relationships; 3) with ever-increasing budgets between 1983 and 2005, the institute directors have chosen to seek higher budgets rather than merely avoid the risk of budget cuts; 4) although the advisory boards are purportedly used to seek private input for the priority setting, they tend to increase intramural more than external research project grant expenditures; 5) the practice of omnibus appropriations bills significantly benefits the institutes under the NIH such that with omnibus legislation the institutes' total expenditures have more than doubled controlling the other factors; and 6) there are significant differences in the effects of the director's public experience and the number of advisory boards and their membership both (i) between disease-focused institutes and nondisease institutes and (ii) with and without omnibus legislation. The effects of the director's public service experience and the advisory boards have more budgetary impact in the general science-focused institutes than in their disease-focused counterparts. The influence of the advisory board and of the institute director's public service experience on the individual institute's expenditure level is significantly diminished by the frequent use of omnibus appropriations bills.

ABSTRACT   Titel: Graden av måluppfyllelse vad gäller kriminalvårdens centrala målsättningar för vårdares arbetstillfredsställelse på kriminalvårdsanstalten Härnösand   Nivå: C-uppsats i ämnet företagsekonomi   Författare: Jennie Hamberg   Handledare: Ernst Hollander   Datum: 2011 - januari   Syfte: Ett syfte med denna uppsats var att försöka ta reda på i vilken grad kriminalvårdarna på anstalten Härnösand kände arbetstillfredsställelse. Ett ytterligare huvudsyfte var att undersöka i vilken grad kriminalvårdens målsättningar angående kriminalvårdares arbetstillfredsställelse samstämde med hur kriminalvårdarna på anstalten Härnösand upplevde sin arbetstillfredsställelse. Metod: Jag har framförallt använt en kvalitativ metod, men även av en kvantitativ. Jag har gjort en semistrukturerad intervju med en kriminalvårdsinspektör, en deltagande observationsstudie och en vårdarenkät som hade både kvalitativa och kvantitativa inslag.   Resultat & slutsats: Jag kom fram till att majoriteten av vårdarna på kriminalvårdsanstalten Härnösand hade en ganska låg arbetstillfredsställelse. Många faktorer bidrog till den minskade arbetstillfredsställelsen. En viktig omständighet var att många vårdare kände att de hade en låg grad av egenkontroll och inflytande över t.ex. sin arbetssituation och hur de ska utföra sina arbetsuppgifter. Ledarna hade också en, till stor del, negativ effekt på vårdarnas arbetstillfredsställelse. Ytterligare en ytterst viktig aspekt för vårdarnas arbetstillfredsställelse var ledarskapsprocessen, dvs. om relationen kriminalvårdsinspektör och vårdare var positivt. I vårdarnas enkätsvar antyddes det att flertalet vårdare tyckte att förhållandet mellan ledare och medarbetare inte var ändamålsenligt. De ansåg t.ex. att det fanns brister i förtroendet mellan vårdarna och kriminalvårdsinspektörerna. Vårdarna trodde även att ledningen var ointresserad av personalen och de ansåg att kriminalvårdsinspektörerna borde vara mer aktiva och stödjande. En aspekt som dock delvis påverkade vårdarnas arbetstillfredsställelse positivt var olika medarbetarfaktorer. Vårdarna var t.ex. överlag nöjda med sina kollegor. En negativ medarbetarfaktor var dock att vårdare överlag inte var tillfredsställda med sina arbetsuppgifter. Slutligen undersökte jag i vilken grad man på kriminalvårdsanstalten Härnösand hade lyckats uppfylla kriminalvårdens centrala målsättningar för en hög arbetstillfredsställelse hos vårdarna. På anstalten Härnösand hade ledningen misslyckats med att nå de flesta av de centrala målsättningarna och bristerna verkade framförallt bero på den dåliga relationen mellan kriminalvårdsinspektörerna och vårdarna, och på vårdarnas bristande egenkontroll.   Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Ett område som inte kunde inkluderas i denna uppsats och som skulle lämpa sig för fortsatt forskning är hur man skulle kunna skapa mer nöjda medarbetare inom kriminalvårdens befintliga organisationsstruktur.   Uppsatsens bidrag: Jag tror att denna uppsats kan bidra till ny kunskap genom att tydliggöra det komplexa nät av faktorer som påverkar människors arbetstillfredsställelse. Detta har jag försökt göra genom att använda mig av ett situationssynsätt.   Nyckelord: Kontingensteori, arbetstillfredsställelse, kriminalvården, byråkratisk organisation, ledarstil, ledare, medarbetare. / ABSTRACT   Title: The Degree of Goal Fulfilment in the Swedish Correctional System Concerning the Central Objectives for Prison Guards’ Work Satisfaction at the Prison of Härnösand   Level: Final Assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration   Author: Jennie Hamberg   Supervisor: Ernst Hollander   Date: 2011 - January   Aim: An aim with this essay was to investigate to what degree the guards at the prison of Härnösand felt work satisfaction.  Another aim was to investigate to what degree the Swedish Correctional System’s central objectives for prison guards’ work satisfaction were fulfilled at the prison of Härnösand.  Method: I have used a qualitative method but also a quantitative method. I have made a semi-structured interview, an observation and prison guard questionnaire with both qualitative and quantitative elements.   Result & Conclusions: In my essay I concluded that a majority of guards in Härnösand had a rather low degree of work satisfaction. Many factors contributed to this. One important factor was that many guards felt that they had little control over their own work situation and how they went about their job assignments. The leaders also had a negative effect on the guards’ job satisfaction. Another central element for high work satisfaction is the leadership process, i.e. that a functional relationship exists between the prison inspectors and the guards. Many guards said they felt that the relationship between leaders and followers was not satisfactory. They felt that there was a lack of trust between the inspectors and themselves. They also stated that they felt that the management was not interested in the staff and they also felt that the inspectors should be less passive and more supportive. One contributing factor to a more possive work satisfaction was the guards’ high satisfaction with the collegues. But a negative co-worker factor was the fact that the guards were not satisfied with their job assignments. I also concluded that the management at the prison of Härnösand had failed to fulfill the central objectives for prison guards’ work satisfaction. The failures could mostly be ascribed to the unsatisfactory relationship between the inspectors and the prison guards, but also to the guards’ low degree of control over their job situation.   Suggestions for future research: An area for future research could be to investigate how to create more content workers within the current organizational structure of the Swedish correctional system.   Contribution of the thesis: This essay may contribute to new knowledge by emphasizing the complex net of contributing factors which affects people’s degree of work satisfaction. I have tried to do this by using a contingency theory.   Key words: Contingency theory, work satisfaction, the Swedish Correctional System, bureaucratic organization, management style, leader, follower.

This research seeks to connect the philosophical focus of the agency-structure debate with the practice of management through a comparative study of organisational decision-making in situations involving stakeholder consultation. Set in the context of decision-making following an airport master plan consultation, the study considers how the stakeholder framework can be integrated within institutional theory using institutional logics as a theoretical link between these two literatures. This thesis, which adopts a critical realist perspective, takes a comparative case approach of four airports, each owned in different ways. Interviews with airport managers are supplemented by discussions with stakeholders and industry experts. Two sets of a priori themes were identified from the literature. The first focuses on the institutional logics prevailing in the field and their influence on managers as they make decisions. The second considers four decision-making strategies managers might employ in this situation. Findings centre on the causal powers acting upon airport managers as they make their decisions. Whilst normative isomorphic pressure enables stakeholder consultation, the coercive pressure on the decision-making process deriving from English planning law, the adversarial and oscillating nature of Central Government policy, and a mimetic response to the nature of local authority development plans constrain the actions of airport managers. Indeed, the current bureaucratic form of capitalism limits stakeholder contribution to final master plans. This research makes four main contributions: Firstly, reflecting upon the agency-structure debate from a critical realist perspective has facilitated development of a model integrating the stakeholder framework within institutional theory. Secondly, it improves our understanding of how stakeholder contribution is managed in master planning. Thirdly, the study adds to the growing body of work that employs a critical realist perspective. Lastly, since reconciling conflicting stakeholder opinions may well be of vital importance to the future of the UK’s airport infrastructure, this work has practical significance for airport managers, government policy-makers and stakeholders as they strive to formulate worthwhile airport consultations.

This study explores the narratives of day-to-day practices of the Venezuelan System of Children and Youth Orchestras, one of the oldest social development strategies in Venezuela, and one of the most successful social inclusion and cultural participation programs in the world. Its main objective is to identify some of the policy-based and organizational factors contributing to the success, autonomy, and longevity of this initiative since its creation in 1975. In order to assess the relative importance of these factors, the study reviews the sociopolitical circumstances surrounding the evolution of the program and examines the perceptions of its main actors and clients about key internal processes and organizational dynamics. More generally, this case is offered as a way of better understanding the insularity of bureaucratic efficiency in Latin America. / text

This paper aims to propose a discussion about the core elements of bureaucratic- authoritarian state theory of the argentine political scientist Guillermo O'Donnell. Analyzing the economic and political interpretations that permeate their way of thinking and the resulting implications in power relations caused by the economic structuring approach. The historical cases traversed by this kind of rule will be examined, overall, through the concepts and correlations, which allow the direction for the bureaucratic - authoritative forms, likewise the post- strokes standards to allow consideration the dynamic power compared to such types. In particular, comparing disaggregated the standards set in the experiences Brazil and Chile. The nodal axis of this research seeks to reframe the political, economic and institutional trajectory explained the theory of bureaucratic- authoritarian state reflecting on the types of conflicts arising in this type of domination as well as discussing fundamentally the place of common development derived from the economic structure accumulative proposed by the author . / O presente trabalho procura propor uma discussão acerca dos elementos centrais da teoria de Estado burocrático-autoritário do cientista político argentino Guillermo O´Donnell. Analisando as interpretações econômicas e políticas que permeiam sua linha de pensamento e as decorrentes implicâncias nas relações de poder causadas pelo enfoque de estruturação econômica. Os casos históricos atravessados por esta espécie de dominação serão examinados, no global, através dos conceitos e correlações que permitem a direção para as formas burocrático-autoritárias, do mesmo modo, os padrões pós-golpes, que permitem ponderar a dinâmica de poder comparada de tais tipos. Em particular, comparando de forma desagregada os padrões estabelecidos nas experiências de Chile e do Brasil. O eixo nodal da presente pesquisa procura re-significar a trajetória política, econômica e institucional explicitada na teoria do Estado burocrático-autoritário refletindo sobre os tipos de conflitos suscitados neste tipo de dominação assim como discutir, fundamentalmente, o lugar de desenvolvimento comum derivado da estruturação econômica acumulativa proposta pelo autor.

It used descriptive research through a qualitative case study approach, with a sample of forensic experts from the 'Hercílio Macellaro' Criminalistics Institute (ICHM), crowded in the capital, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul state. The method of data collection adopted for the realization of bureaucratic dysfunction was a questionnaire with closed assertive alternative multiple choice, whose response model consists of four levels of gradation (always, often , seldom , never ), prepared from Maia and Pinto model (2007 ). At another point of the view, the questionnaire was administered presenting issues that addressed elements of QWL proposed by Werther and Davis model (1983 ), adapted for the present study. For this questionnaire, the questions were presented in polarized satisfaction Likert scale, consisting of five alternatives (totally disagree, partially disagree, neither agree nor disagree, partially agree and strongly agree), characterizing the opinion of the participant. The interpretation of the data allowed us to analyze the existence of four elements of bureaucratic dysfunction : internalization of rules, too formalistic, routines and records, resistance to change and display signs of authority. On one hand, the humanistic approach was possible to analyze the survey respondents show noise in communication, both vertically and horizontally, which indicates the need for more transparency and clarity as possible within and between departments and teams in these with superiors, to provide greater understanding between all involved and eliminating conflicts that may occur through misinformation. On the other hand, the analysis of the restrictive approach to QWL in this study allowed us to observe the predominance of instrumental rationality in organizational context of ICHM, since it is geared only to meet your organizational processes based on binomial technique versus production. One can thus consider that the ICHM is strongly connected to the bureaucratic organization model, exteriorized through four levels of bureaucratic dysfunctions. Moreover, as a pretext for the pursuit of efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness, organizational praxis ICHM seems to converge to two models of production: Fordism and Taylorism , which reinforce the restrictive current of the QWL, which seem to confirm the maintenance of the objectification subject in relation to the object, that is, when it was thought that organic being could enjoy the technological development achieved in various sciences , paradoxically, what has been seen is the work as an end in itself. / O objetivo geral deste estudo consistiu em identificar as dimensões da burocracia e relacioná-las aos elementos de disfunção burocrática existentes em uma unidade da administração pública estadual, no âmbito da Criminalística, que influenciam a Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT), considerando as abordagens humanista e restritiva, no contexto da Coordenadoria Geral de Perícias (CGP), a partir da percepção dos servidores lotados nesta unidade da Segurança Pública. Utilizou-se a pesquisa descritiva por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa de estudo de caso, com amostra constituída por peritos criminais do Instituto de Criminalística 'Hercílio Macellaro' (ICHM), lotados na Capital do Estado, Campo Grande - MS. O método de coleta de dados adotado para a constatação das disfunções burocráticas foi um questionário com assertivas fechadas de alternativas de múltipla escolha, cujo modelo de resposta compõe-se por quatro níveis de gradação (sempre, muitas vezes, poucas vezes, nunca), elaborado a partir do modelo de Maia e Pinto (2007). Em outro momento, foi aplicado o questionário apresentando questões que abordavam os elementos da QVT propostos por Werther e Davis (1983), adaptado para o presente estudo. Para este questionário, as questões foram apresentadas em escala polarizada de satisfação do tipo Likert, composta por cinco alternativas (discordo totalmente, discordo parcialmente, não concordo nem discordo, concordo parcialmente e concordo totalmente), caracterizando a opinião do participante. A interpretação dos dados permitiu analisar a existência de quatro elementos de disfunção burocrática: internalização das regras, excesso de formalismo, rotinas e registros, resistência às mudanças e exibição de sinais de autoridade. De uma lado, a abordagem humanista foi possível analisar que os respondentes da pesquisa evidenciam ruídos na comunicação, tanto vertical quanto horizontal, o que indica a necessidade de mais transparência e clareza possível dentro e entre as equipes nos departamentos e destes com os superiores hierárquicos, a fim de proporcionar maior entendimento entre todos os envolvidos e a eliminação de conflitos que possam ocorrer através de informações distorcidas. Por outro lado, a análise da abordagem restritiva sobre a QVT neste estudo permitiu observar a predominância da racionalidade instrumental no contexto organizacional do ICHM, uma vez que está voltada somente para atender a seus processos organizacionais fundamentados no binômio técnica versus produção. Pode-se, assim, considerar que o ICHM está fortemente ligado ao modelo de organização burocrática, exteriorizado por quatro níveis de disfunções burocráticas. Além disso, como pretexto pela busca da eficiência, eficácia e efetividade, a práxis organizacional do ICHM parece convergir para dois modelos de produção: fordista e taylorista, as quais reforçam a corrente restritiva da QVT, que parece confirmar a manutenção da coisificação do sujeito em relação ao objeto, isto é, quando se pensava que o ser orgânico pudesse desfrutar do desenvolvimento tecnológico alcançado em várias ciências, paradoxalmente, o que tem sido visto é o trabalho como um fim em si mesmo.

The aim of this case study is to draw a picture about the present situation and highlight constraints and challenges to the implementation of National Environment Policy (NEP) in Rwanda by identifying limits and prospects for improving the ongoing implementation process. we found that environmental management at the local level is subject to the compounded effects of the obstacles faced by the local administration, the complex nature of environmental management, and the lack of assimilation of environmental issues at the national level. Environmental conditions suffer as a result, and there is a need for substantial modifications to improve the situation. Improved functions should lead to the enhancement of the local environment through: Higher investments from the regulated community subjected to more targeted enforcement, Private investments in infrastructure through the privatization of functions traditionally borne by the District, Pollution prevention through forward-looking planning, Greater efficiency in using available resources and justified requests to the central budget / Environmental Sciences / M.

O objetivo central deste artigo é identificar quais entraves culturais e burocráticos impactaram o processo de implantação da política de transparência no estado do Rio Grande do Sul no período de 2011 a 2014, considerando a trajetória nacional de desenvolvimento da transparência. A dimensão instrumental da transparência ao regime democrático permite a ampliação dos mecanismos de acesso às informações públicas, com a finalidade de consecução dos mecanismos de accountability. A transparência é uma estratégia de diminuição do segredo e do obscuro no quotidiano estatal. Essa circunstância pretende possibilitar que os governos sejam mais responsáveis frente aos cidadãos. Assim, a cultura da transparência entra em disputa com a cultura do segredo, uma vez que, para o seu desenvolvimento, há necessidade de interferir nas relações de poder consolidadas dentro da estrutura estatal. A análise dos entraves à execução da política de transparência decorre da experiência empírica como gestora da política de transparência no RS. Por fim, as mudanças geram resistências, interferindo no resultado final da implementação da política de transparência. Esses resultados não decorrem, exclusivamente, da vontade política do governante ou da força de resistência da burocracia, mas, precisamente, da relação de força entre eles. / This study aims to identify which cultural and bureaucratic obstacles affected the process of implementing the transparency policy in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in the period of 2011-2014, taking into account the national trajectory of the development of transparency. The instrumental dimension of transparency to the democratic regime allows the expansion of the mechanisms that grant access to public information in order to achieve accountability mechanisms. Transparency is a strategy to dwindle the secrecy and obscurity of the state’s daily life; it aims at making governments more accountable to their citizens. Thus, the culture of transparency is in dispute with the culture of secrecy, since there is a need to interfere in the consolidated power relations within the state structure for transparency to flourish. The analysis of the obstacles to the implementation of the transparency policy stems from my empirical experience as manager of the transparency policy in Rio Grande do Sul. Finally, the changes generate resistance, interfering in the outcome of the implementation of the transparency policy. These results do not derive exclusively from the political will of the ruler or from the resistance force of the bureaucracy, but precisely from the relation of force between them.
