“…Our study reveals that engaging employers in welfare policies can help to create more opportunities for disadvantaged jobseekers; however, most employers and local governments are not fundamentally reconsidering their role in PES. As noted earlier, success in PPPs is not simply a matter of project delivery (Hodge et al, ; Wang et al, ). In addition to performance, as defined in the partnership agreement, broader aims include longer term relationships and their benefits to a programme, organizations, citizens, or users (Hodge et al, ; Wang et al, ).…”

“…Despite the widespread implementation of quasi‐markets, many studies have raised concerns over performance under this contractual form of PPP, including high transaction costs, inadequate integration between design and service delivery, and limited innovation (Bredgaard & Larsen, ; Petersen, Hjelmar, & Vrangbæk, ; Roehrich et al, ). Even after many years, the economic and financial benefits of contractual forms of PPPs are still unclear and subject to debate (Hodge, Greve, & Biygautane, ; Mouraviev & Kakabadse, ). This has been illustrated for quasi‐markets in PES in Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy (Bredgaard & Larsen, ; Knuth, ; Van der Aa & Van Berkel, ; Van Gestel, ; Zimmermann et al, ).…”

“…In this study, we analyse which factors and dynamics are crucial to the performance of public–private networks in PES. In the literature on PPPs, there is a growing recognition that their success is not simply a matter of project delivery and that both narrower and broader views of performance are possible (Hodge et al, ; Wang et al, ). The narrower view relates directly to the targets in the network agreement, whereas the broader view includes the longer term relationship and its benefits to a programme, organizations, citizens, or users, and wider society, reflecting differing stakeholder expectations and perspectives (Hodge et al, , p. 1114; Mouraviev & Kakabadse, ).…”

Increasingly, it is emphasized that evaluations of PPP should investigate target‐related output and other dimensions, such as the engagement and satisfaction of various stakeholders and the process of collaboration (Kort et al, ; Wang et al, ).…”

From quasi‐markets to public–private networks: Employers' engagement in public employment services

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article explores the implications of creating a role for private-sector partners in public employment services (PES), rather than creating quasi-markets. It focuses on how the engagement of employers in public-private networks with local government can enhance employment opportunities for disadvantaged welfare recipients but may require a further shift in local public services. The theory relates to contractual arrangements versus network modes of publicprivate partnerships. Based on surveys among employers and welfare recipients, and interviews with politicians, managers, and frontline workers in five Dutch municipalities, the article provides detailed evidence on innovative and promising cases of public-private networks in employment services. It shows that, under certain conditions, vulnerable jobseekers are better served by a network involving employers than by the standard supply-driven approach that predominates in quasi-markets. It also reveals that public and private partners have yet to fully embrace the implications of the network approach for their respective roles. The article contributes to the theoretical debate on public-private partnerships in the context of PES, reflecting on public-private networks as a policy design that could help improve employment opportunities for disadvantaged jobseekers. ---This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License, which permits use and distribution in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited, the use is non-commercial and no modifications or adaptations are made.

In public–private partnerships (PPPs), the collaboration between public and private actors can be complicated. With partners coming from different institutional backgrounds and with different interests, governing these partnerships is important to ensure the projects' progress. There is, however, little knowledge about the perceptions of professionals regarding the governance of PPPs. This study aims to exlore professionals' viewpoints about governing PPPs, and to explain potential differences using four theoretical governance paradigms. Using Q methodology, the preferences of 119 public and private professionals in Canada, the Netherlands and Denmark are explored. Results show four different viewpoints regarding the governance of PPPs. Experience, country and the public–private distinction seem to influence these viewpoints. Knowledge of these differences can inform efforts to govern PPPs and contribute to more successful partnerships.

This paper aims to identify the processes that lead to the establishment of public-private partnerships (PPPs) with a focus on the financial and policy incentives of the actors involved. To this end, it applies the Multiple Streams Framework to a qualitative case study to answer the following research question: are actors of PPPs for innovation motivated due to financial incentives or can they be policy driven? Although the fiscal context plays an important role in our case, the study shows that policy goals, such as providing infrastructure or public services and promoting innovation can be the main drivers for establishing a PPP.These findings offer a theoretical and practical contribution to analyze PPPs as a phenomenon. First, we establish a theoretical framework of possible incentives for actors in PPPs and, secondly, provide new insights into the PPP discussion in the public administration literature.
