“…Those who were only able to engage in one or some workshops may have different perspectives from us who have highly engaged in the codesign process. Whilst this paper focuses on our experiences as applied health service researchers and study participants of the use of EBCD in developing a complex health intervention, our findings may also contribute to discussions of the potential role of co-design in other disciplines such as public administration [ 26 ].…”

Co-designing a cancer care intervention: reflections of participants and a doctoral researcher on roles and contributions

Background Patient and Public Involvement is most usually framed in the context of designing, conducting and/or disseminating research. Participatory methods such as Experience-Based Co-Design (EBCD) further allow service users to directly engage in developing, testing and implementing interventions and services alongside healthcare staff. This paper aims to explore how participants in an EBCD project came—over time—to perceive their role and involvement in co-designing a cancer care intervention. Methods The findings are based on our reflections, a research diary, email correspondence and fieldnotes from co-design events. Co-design participants who attended most of the ten co-design events took part through written reflections or audio-recorded video calls. Ten reflective pieces were collected from clinicians (n = 4), PPI group members/patient participants (n = 4), a doctoral researcher (n = 1) and a visual illustrator (n = 1). Inductive data analysis of participant reflections was carried out using reflexive thematic analysis. Meeting fieldnotes, email correspondence and the researcher’s diary were deductively analysed using the initial themes generated from this inductive analysis. Results Five main themes were identified: (1) changing perception of roles during the co-design process, (2) defining a ‘co-designer’, (3) engagement and ownership, (4) role of the research facilitator in maintaining momentum, and (5) perceived benefits of involvement. Conclusion Our findings show the changing perceptions of roles and contributions among participants over time. Patients typically described their role as co-designers in terms simply of sharing their experiences. In contrast, clinicians perceived themselves as co-designers because they were working with patients who were actively involved in decision-making. Levels of engagement were affected by several factors such as time and facilitation, but most participants came to view themselves as co-owners of the intervention. Overall, participants perceived their involvement as a positive experience with clinicians also reporting wider positive impacts on their clinical practice.

“…We support and encourage this move. However, we believe consideration should be given toward the implications pertaining to practitioner engagement (Schowerer et al, 2022). This issue has two important components: selecting research topics that are of use and interest to public administrators, and ensuring that the research we produce is accessible.…”

Public Administration

Research in the field of public administration has changed and advanced significantly in recent years. These advancements concern both how we engage in research-such as the methods we apply, the interdisciplinary nature of the theories we use, and the research questions we ask. Increasingly, we are witnessing a shift in public-sector values away from efficiency and effectiveness and toward a paradigm that highlights equity. In this article, we reflect on these changes from our position as editors-in-chief of some of the leading journals in the field. In addition to describing the progress of this discipline, we explore emerging windows of opportunity for new research. One such window is research on ways to incorporate interdisciplinary perspectives and methods. We also see the need for work in such areas as social equity, comparative administration, artificial intelligence, and climate change. Finally, we argue for a more proactive approach in disseminating research to those involved in the day-to-day decision-making processes of public organizations. | INTRODUCTIONThe role of public administration emerged with the development of the first formal governments. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs deployed servants to do their bidding and tax collectors to find and manage the flow of resources (El Baradei, 2021;Ferlie et al., 2005). The first concerted effort to improve public management practices occurred in

“…However, the rise of behavioural public administration has helped overcome these challenges as we learn how to do effective experiments within the confines of governments (James et al , 2017). Schwoerer et al ’s (2022) perspective of the future of the public organisation research from the viewpoint of an early career scholar further supports the use of experimentation. Given that we have the methodological capacity for experimentation, they argue that we also have the responsibility to use it.…”

Purpose The purpose of this polyphonic paper is to report on interdisciplinary discussions on the state-of-the-art and future of public sector accounting research (PSAR). The authors hope to enliven the debates of the past and future developments in terms of context, themes, theories, methods and impacts in the field of PSAR by the exchanges they include here. Design/methodology/approach This polyphonic paper adopts an interdisciplinary approach. It brings into conversation ideas, views and approaches of several scholars on the actual and future developments of PSAR in various contexts, and explores potential implications. Findings This paper has brought together scholars from a plurality of disciplines, research methods and geographical areas, showing at the same time several points of convergence on important future themes (such as accounting as a mean for public, accounting, hybridity and value pluralism) and enabling conditions (accounting capabilities, profession and digitalisation) for PSA scholarship and practice, and the richness of looking at them from a plurality of perspectives. Research limitations/implications Exploring these past and future developments opens up the potential for interesting theoretical insights. A much greater theoretical and practical reconsideration of PSAR will be fostered by the exchanges included here. Originality/value In setting out a future research agenda, this paper fosters theoretical and methodological pluralism in the interdisciplinary research community interested in PSAR in various contexts. The discussion perspectives presented in this paper constitute not only a basis for further research in this relevant accounting area on the role, status and developments of PSAR but also creative potential for practitioners to be more reflective on their practices and also intended and united outcomes of such practices.
