“…These results show that innovation in the public sector is associated with both internal and external stimuli/factors [75]. In this sector, organizational factors influence the sustainability of governance and impact decision-making [76]. Moreover, CSR practice is positively associated with greater engagement by stakeholders, such as employees [77], and increased trust among service users [78].…”

Values guide actions and judgements, form the basis of attitudinal and behavioral processes, and have an impact on leaders’ decision-making, contributing to more sustainable performance. Through a bibliometric study and content analysis, 2038 articles were selected from Scopus, from the period 1994–2021, presenting global research tendencies on the subject of values, public administration, and sustainability. The results indicate that Sustainability is the most productive journal, the main research category is in social sciences, the most productive institution is the University of Queensland, the location with the most publications and research collaborations is the USA, and the authors with the greatest number of articles are Chung, from Chung-Ang University; García-Sánchez, from the University of Salamanca; and Pérez, from the University of Cantabria. Analysis of keywords shows that the most relevant are “sustainability”, “CSR”, “sustainable development”, “innovation”, and “leadership”. Time analysis of keywords reveals a tendency for lines of research in the social and work area. The results also provide data about the framing of studies in sustainability pillars and the types of values referred to and indicate the main areas of public administration studied. Finally, a future research agenda is proposed.

“…In all cases, "there is a strong influence of political values" (Marques, Leitão, Carvalho, Pereira, 2021) on adoptingnability in public administration. Marques et al (2021) show in a recent bibliometric study that cultural and ethical values are also relevant, followed by the emergence of ecological importance, while leadership support is mandatory for adopting and developing sustainability in public administration, as "organizational factors are vital determents of decision-making behavior in the civil service" (Trondal, 2021).…”

Nieustannie toczy się dyskusja na temat roli administracji publicznej oraz tego, w jaki sposób zarządzanie nią powinno być zorganizowane, aby spełniało obecne oczekiwania społeczne, takie jak przyjęcie zrównoważonego rozwoju. Wydaje się, że zrównoważony rozwój stał się czymś więcej niż trendem, stał się nową absolutną koniecznością każdej strategii zarządzania i świadczenia organizacyjnego. Przedsiębiorstwa wydają się być o krok do przodu pod względem przyjęcia zrównoważonego rozwoju, zwłaszcza w związku z zaostrzeniem kryteriów ESG wdrażanych głównie przez przedsiębiorstwa. Podmioty sektora publicznego również wydają się podążać tą samą drogą, ale z mniej widoczną szybkością. Niniejsze opracowanie, opierające się na częściowo ustrukturyzowanym podejściu do przeglądu literatury przedmiotu, dotyczy złożoności budowania zdolności administracji publicznej do przyjęcia zrównoważonego rozwoju w wyniku innowacji, podkreślając współzależności między przywództwem, orientacją na innowacje, wartościami i wyzwaniami organizacyjnymi. Autorzy identyfikują bariery i możliwości w przyjmowaniu zrównoważonego rozwoju przez administrację publiczną i proponują empiryczny model budowania potencjału dla instytucji publicznych zorientowanych na zrównoważony rozwój w wyniku innowacji.

“…Temporal robustness refers to civil servants' ability to combine behavioral stability and change across time, however, accentuating their ability to preserve stability by resisting abrupt change. In our study, robustness‐as‐stability in public governance implies that significant behavioral patterns among civil servants are established within and across administrative systems, thus maintaining the ability to allocate sustained and stable value over time (Trondal, 2021).…”

This study carries two distinct contributions to extant literature. Theoretically, it introduces an organizational approach to the study of public governance. Empirically, it demonstrates how the organizational architecture of government represents a stable and systemic capacity for public governance across time. The study establishes how stability serves as an enduring feature of public governance and how this is anchored in the organizational architecture of government systems. Moreover, structured flexibility is illustrated by how the civil service adapts to both international organizations and societal stakeholders. Theorizing the organizational dimension of public governance, this study also introduces a design tool that may be useful for deliberately (re)structuring public governance. Empirically, these arguments are probed by a sizable dataset with 13,173 observations across 40 years, consisting of nine surveys of civil servants at ministry and agency levels. The data enables a long-term perspective on government civil servants over nearly half a century, thus allowing for a comprehensive study of the organizational basis for public governance.
