Managerialism in the Public Sector

This book presents a holistic approach to studying, analyzing, and interpreting public sector management. It challenges pre-constituted schemes to put forth the relevance of behavioral models, to date almost the exclusive competence of for-profit domains. The findings offer key implications for theory, practice, and policy-making. It offers a key message: contextual-specific and cultural factors influencing individual behaviors are important and should better influence policy-making processes, towards "glocalization" in order to improve quality.
