“…This means that innovation should always imply a certain level of social responsibility. It is worth noticing how the public sector could in theory provide significant know‐how on this subject because of the very nature and scope of its activity, even though this is too often marred by the interference of political power, by the (ab)use of power and by the adoption of planning and assessment models that are not always adequate and/or rational (Bailey, 1964; Cohen & Eimicke, 1995; Frederickson & Ghere, 2013; Pavan, Reginato, & Fadda, 2014; Wilson & Boyle, 2004). A mature form of social responsibility (Pollifroni, 2011) should also be able to think outside the idea that any higher costs resulting from social integration can be then recovered from future additional profits.…”

The best presentation of a nation's cultural heritage has been a recurrent theme in the scientific and cultural debate. Few studies, however, have investigated how cultural organizations are influenced by digitization when communicating corporate social responsibility. By adopting a multiple case study approach, we investigated a sample of virtual museums and their digital CSR culture. This study contributes to the literature on CSR effectiveness in cultural organizations, by focusing on how digitization is influencing the attitude toward CSR disclosure, in order to provide suggestions for cultural managers, scholars, policymakers and practitioners alike. More specifically, this paper aims to examine stakeholders' perceptions in digital cultural organizations as a new form of social responsibility. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only study that applies this perspective to the analysis of the digitization process through CSR, currently under way across cultural institutions around the world.

“…Humility helps temper the belief that one possesses the absolute truth on matters of public policy and it can help foster that willingness to compromise that makes politics possible. As Stephen Bailey (1964) puts it, humility and a willingness to compromise “are the preconditions of those fruitful accommodations which resolve conflict and which allow the new to live tolerably with the old” (p. 237). On the other hand, optimism can serve to check that immobility and nihilism can too easily arise when administrators are forced, by virtue of their engagement in politics, to make compromises in the pursuit of what they believe to be true.…”

“…On the other hand, optimism can serve to check that immobility and nihilism can too easily arise when administrators are forced, by virtue of their engagement in politics, to make compromises in the pursuit of what they believe to be true. To use Bailey's (1964) words, government "without the leavening of optimistic public servants quickly becomes a cynical game of manipulation, personal aggrandizement, and parasitic security" and "the ultimate corruption of free government comes not from the hopelessly venal but from the persistently cynical" (p. 240). Finally, courage is required for administrators to challenge those deceptions that are harmful to the interests of citizens, even when such challenges may risk offending colleagues and political actors with whom they must deal.…”

“Who’s Been Fooling Who?” Reflections on Truth and Deception in Politics and Their Implications for Public Administration

This article examines the role of truth and deception in social and political life and its implications for public administration. Because deception is a necessary part of social and political life, the pursuit of absolute truths poses significant dangers to political practices. However, without some commitment to truth in social and political life, the resulting nihilism also endangers political practices. Public administrators, in seeking truth, therefore, should pursue a middle path between moral virtue and moral realism that preserves the practice of politics, a middle path such as is offered in the writings of the Founders of the Constitution.

“…It operates as a political conduit between a portfolio Minister and the Echelon 2s of the relevant directorate. While the structure of some countries' public service systems appear to be evolving from hierarchy to heterarchy (O'Leary 2015; Shahan and Khair 2018), pyramid shaped bureaucracies such as Indonesia's have universally remained the most popular model for most of the last century (Park 2019;Bailey 2018).…”

Indonesian Women in Public Service Leadership: A Rapid Review

2019

Masculinist contours have legitimized male domination in Indonesia’s upper public service ranks. However, some women have managed to crack the glass ceiling. A systematic search was undertaken of seven academic databases and the Google Scholar search engine to identify facilitative features of women’s career advancement through Indonesia’s echelon ranks. Fourteen articles, representing nine studies, were identified. While policy initiatives exist to increase women’s representation and career advancement, studies consistently identified little application to practice. Patterns across the studies located women’s career advancement as an individual concern and showed that women wanting careers were expected to manage the double burden of productive and reproductive life, obtain permissions from husbands and extended family, and adopt masculine leadership traits to garner colleagues’ support. Barriers frequently outweigh opportunities for career advancement; these including entrenched homo-sociability asserting that men make better leaders. Consequently, the blocking of women’s opportunities invoked personal disappointments, resulting in women’s public denial of their leadership ambitions.
